Truth and Beauty Bombs

last two months or so he's been dealing with the world's worst case of fleas
and my family's been overdoing it on the whole "covering him in deadly poison" thing via
no matter how much you treat him or clean the house, he keeps yelping and scratching every three seconds :((

every night he keeps waiting outside people's doors cause he used to sneak on the beds via being cute
but what with fleas and such he just
waits in the hall and cries all night
so sad :[[


today i was taking him for a walk and out of nowhere some other dog like 3 times his size just came barreling out of his yard and ran him down
he did this stomach-churning limp roll/slide until the leash stopped him, and
i legit was afraid he was dead
but the horrible dog was like "haha not likely" and went to town

bit via neck and shook him around violently
i legit thought he was dead

until the hell-dog let go and threw him like a rag doll
he flew right through the collar and landed in a ditch
and i legit was sure he was dead

and at this point i'm full on wrestling with the terrible one, tryin to hold him back
and all our (STILL ALIVE) dog does is

slowly limp back up to the leash
look at the collar and look at me
and waits all polite-like

while the satan dog's like desperately trying to scramble away from me three feet away, biting wildly, barkin like mad

until the situation got resolved
(this whole conflict i think only happened in a few seconds but man for all i know it was an hour)

and now he's home, all shivering and itching and crying and not wanting to be alone
is there like a make-a-wish foundation for dogs jesus christ

bright side: no way the fleas survived that

put it down
and never get a pet again

make a wish foundation: "what is your wish, dog?"
dog: "I want to die."

Unfortunately I think in order to get rid of the fleas you will need to pile all of your possessions into the middle of your house and set them on fire (be sure to go outside, btw, because your entire house will burn to the ground). Then move away and buy a new house and new belongings.

burn your dog

Daniel I want to pat your dog on the head.

Do dogs like being pat on the head?

daniel this story really is sad :[

did the other dog hurt him? if he got cut up you should take him to the vet because his wounds can get infected

also what are you using to get rid of the fleas? i hope you aren't using any "Hart" products because those are cheap poison and are known to kill dogs and cats.

You should probably bring the dog to the vet anyway so it can get a proper flea bath.

I recently read that you have to vacuum the entire house constantly to really get rid of fleas (along with all the shampoos and treatments and things), AND WORSE you have to throw away the vacuum bag every time! No wonder I could never seem to beat the fleas in times gone by.

Our cats had fleas when I was growing up until we gave them a flea collar once and they pretty much immediately abandoned ship. So that might help.

daniel is there any reason why you can't shave your dog

(the fleas)

this is actually a pretty good idea

on a dark and stormy night

a knock on the door

a large cackle of thunder

I'm here to shave your dog. Open up.
