<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>The gang has been on Frontline then Frontline
Plus for years. I did use one of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the other spot ons from the vet before Frontline
but that did not work at all. We </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>never had </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>a
problem until this year. The Frontline just doesn't seem to work as well
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>and </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I started
finding pesty little fleas and a couple of creepy crawly ticks (not embedded,
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>just crawling) at less than 3 weeks.
(ughhhhhh) What is worse is that this started </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>when we were still have cool weather. Poor
little Sadie Maye is very allergic to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>flea bites but then she is allergic to
everything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>So with the suggestions of a show breeder and
seconded by another we started</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>using what I call Willow's concoction. I
have been using it for a few months now</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>and no more crawly critters. The skeeters
also don't swarm them on our walks by</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>the river just me. So I am now trying
it myself in hopes the skeeters will not bother</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>me anymore. I was told that it takes
two weeks to get in their system, so they stayed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>on Frontline that first month. Honestly
with just my 5, I was having a hard time </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>with paying for something that was not working or
that I was going to have to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>use more frequently. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique><U>Willow's Concoction </U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>3 parts kelp powder or granules</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>1 part garlic powder</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Mix together well. I put my mix in a old
parmesan cheese shaker bottle and give a little </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>sprinkle on the food </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Antique>every day. Alternatively you can just put a pinch
sprinkled on the food.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>(Yes I did taste it and it's good. I use it
on my salad.) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>For fosters that come in I found, by
accident, that the medicated Mane and Tail Shampoo </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>works great </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Antique>at
killing fleas. The fleas went belly up and fell off before they got a
chance to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>jump. WoooooHoooooo. (The shampoo and
cream rinse was recommended by my vet for </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Sadie Maye as everything else she </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Antique>seemed to have an issue with.) </FONT><FONT
