You go girl, they are awful critters.Yep
Not anymore though, I bombed, surface sprayed and pretty much went ninja all over them and now keep up the monthly treatment.
I did not need to worry about it before because the cats are inside cats and do not wander anywhere to get fleas but now, with Jessie coming and going and picking them up from all over the village on her walks, I have to be vigilant.
He's doing quite a bit better. He's eating and drinking. His back legs are still pretty stiff. He's not doing his usual run around like a crazy thing when I drive up & he's not barking like usual, but he's definitely getting there.
She is! Totally impressed.
Thick dust, dead geckos and cobwebs everywhere. 10 years worth of spills and stains on the white kitchen cupboards and on the floor .. seriously living my worse nightmare. It is still not clean but I can't do it properly because of the clutter.
I feel your pain! The only house I actually cried and left, then came back again was a house that had gone back to the bank and I was asked to clean it so they could show it. HORRIBLE! I was afraid of diseases in that one. Never again. I charged them $20 an hour, thought the banker was going to stroke out. I should have charged double that.Yep, I hate fleas.
While I may come across as just ranting or venting, I kid you not that this place was a mess when I got here and I am not kidding when I say nothing had been done for 10 years! It took me weeks to get the SS kitchen sink clean and stain free and I had to vacuum 10 years worth of dead stuff out of the window tracks and spray the window hinges with lubricant to open them! Do not start me on the bathroom
I was not joking when I mentioned that my first night here I sat on the camp bed and cried, trying to work out where I was going to book a flight to and set up home on my own!
I don’t love cleaning but I’m good at it. I work for myself and I like that I’m my own boss. I’m at the point in my life if it does not spark joy I do not keep it. I won’t keep moving stuff around. To me it’s just clutter but to each their own. I only have to worry about the house I live in
They both want it cleaned but she loves her dogs and is willing to put up with their messes I guess. Her husband can’t stand it but loves his wife. I stepped in fresh poop one day and flipped out. Next check I had a raise. Sad thing is the house is only 10 years old. I love my cats but sure as heck ain’t gonna let them poop wherever they want.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts regarding Castor; no news as yet.
DMC Good way to think “To me it’s just clutter but each to their own. I only have to worry about the house I live in”. Sadly, I have to live in this cluttered one
When I arrived a couple of months after hubby and a few weeks after the cats, I found that, for the first time, the cats had fleas! So did Jessie, FIL’s dog and the carpet and pretty much everything else. FIL gets Jessie hydrobathed once a fortnight but I am sure the lady that does it is ripping him off and the supposed flea treatment he thinks she is getting does not work … So, I slip Jessie a chewable flea tablet once a month [cos the angst of raising it with FIL is not worth it] and the cats get done also. No fleas now!
Diva my sister lives in another state, south of me and even though they would also get hot days, the dogs would not feel it sleeping on the couch or the bed under the air conditioner; trust me, those dogs live better than the humans
Yep, I hate fleas.

I think it is just a state of mind; he lived alone, he had other distractions, computer [internet and blogs] and Anime and yeah, does not care or does not bother him. Which is fair enough .. it does, however, bother me
All he really does all day is sit in one of his offices on the computer and walks the dog; that is it.
I believe the clutter is basically because 'I might need that some day' and also again, it does not bother him. He is a bit of a doom and gloom type and is prepping for doomsday which also explains all the 'stuff' around the place.
I do hope he continues to improve.
