Michael Movies!!!

Michael's walks are of primary importance!! Jack Russells are very athletic animals and their whole mindset is about running around hunting! Michael LOVES running and he is FAST! In the right situations, I can take him off his leash and let him run and chase his ball, or frisbee (which is readily destroyed!!)


Summer has been lots of fun, but lacking the types of adventures I had hoped we would get to do!! Like the "going to ground" races and Jack Russell activities, which do go on but they are a bit of a drive up to Washington....Still we plan to get involved in some of those things soon.

The worst thing about summer, as much as we love it, are the FLEAS!!! GGGGGGRRRRRRR! HOW WE HATE FLEAS!!! This summer it's been a bigger issue I think because Marley lives with us, and the cats are outside cats now, it's enhanced the difficulty of keeping them at bay. And Michael seems to be allergic to their bites, so he is constantly pink and scratching. The other part of the problem is that I am scared to administer too much chemical type products to him, not really understanding their long term effects. The vet said it's fine to use the steroid spray, but I use it rarely, it is also ok to give him Benydryl too, but I rarely do! We use Frontline spray on the dogs and the carpets, but, again, this summer, the fleas have been very difficult to control. Is anyone else having this problem or use anti-flea remedies on their dog or house? I'm curious to know about it!!!!
