Now I'll have to keep my eyes peeled as we are just entering yard sale season.<br /><br />That sunflower is SOOOOO happy. It made me happy just to look at it. I have one (volunteer) growing in my yard under the feeder as well, but it is no where near to blossom yet.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24830243.post-62140333336017797762011-06-04T23:57:55.726-07:002011-06-04T23:57:55.726-07:00On the advice of our youngest daughter who breeds ...On the advice of our youngest daughter who breeds and raises Great Danes & Boston Terriors...Use ADVANTAGE..found at any pet store...works better than any of the other flea products...<br />~~HUGS~~<br />http://blessingtheelements-mi.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24830243.post-39767584002851227382011-06-04T18:48:15.362-07:002011-06-04T18:48:15.362-07:00We had to lime the yard where the fleas were congr...We had to lime the yard where the fleas were congregating last summer as the dogs were going crazy. It's the lime you use in the garden to raise ph levels when your soil is acidic so doesn't hurt the dogs. Spread about a cupful per 2 sq mtrs (or yards) and leave it for a day then water it in. Apparently fleas like an acidic environment so the alkaline effect of the lime kills/damages both flea and egg.<br />We also wash the dogs weekly in tea tree oil shampoo if you can find it. Wash dog, leave suds on for 10 mins then rinse dog and comb out the dead/dying fleas. Make sure you spot test the tea tree oil first as some dogs are allergic to it.<br />Hope these alternative treatments work for your dogs if you try them.<br />Have a nice summer,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24830243.post-1035221793729707252011-06-04T17:55:48.629-07:002011-06-04T17:55:48.629-07:00I know what you're going through as we are fig...I know what you're going through as we are fighting fleas here as well. They are tough little buggers! I can't find any effective natural way to get rid of them so we are going to have to resort to using some kind of pesticide too. Good luck!Lace up and Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143556081356821588noreply@blogger.com
