So Bugged!

Yesterday was awful!

Now I know I said that I didn't want to complain on this blog, but I realize that life has its ups and downs... so I will just end up talking about them both!

Anyway... the reason that yesterday was awful is because I was sick and we found fleas on our dog!!!

So 3 days ago we checked her fur and skin out as a usual routine and she was fine. Yesterday we were commenting that she has been acting a little weird for the last day and a half, but didn't really know what the cause of it was. A little later I started to rub her belly and found a clump of what at first felt like dirt, but turned out to be fleas.

So because I am generally afraid of bugs and freak out about possible bug infestations, Michael and I went to work bagging everything (all stuff which we'll be washing all weekend long!!!!!). Michael ran to the store to get some flea and tick shampoo, a flea collar and home cleaning products to get rid of fleas as well.

I had called my mom extremely upset, hoping that it would calm me down, but really I was too upset to be on the phone, so I passed the phone to Michael and she gave him some really good suggestions for how to take the cleaning on.

I felt so bad for sticking Fergie in her kennel to watch us clean everything up, but her! So even though there wasn't any place to stick her after I bathed her I stuck her in the bathtub and got her all sudsy and left it on for the 5 minutes the treatment called for (which was quite a feat keeping her from shaking it off!) on the label.

I was shaking so much from everything that Michael kicked Fergie and I out of the basement and we hung out upstairs while she dried and he cleaned her kennel. Once her kennel was clean and dry, I grabbed a clean blanket and said goodnight to my poor fur-baby.

Michael told me to go watch a movie upstairs and not to worry he was going to finish cleaning up our room, vacuum and spray it down.

So that was why my day was so awful! And why Michael and I's Facebook statuses were plain and gloomy.

ps. As I was writing this Michael was getting ready for work and I started shaking because I only slept a couple hours and I ended up crying into his shoulder when he gave me a hug goodbye.

Also after he cleaned out her kennel and finished cleaning and spraying down our room he cleaned out the bathtub, so he could take a shower! He was my hero!!!!!
