Flea Collar

There are dogs on both sides of my boyfriend’s house and I have seen fleas before in his back yard while we were barbecuing.  So the first day we brought our pup home we let her run around outside before we started to groom her and there was already a flea on her.  So right away we went to the pet store to get flea medication.

Buying flea medication for your dog can get a little expensive over the years.  I usually get frontline plus, it's the brand that I've used for as long as I can remember.  But recently while browsing for flea medication we stumbled across this brand Seresto flea collar.  What caught our eyes was that it last for 8 months.  At first we were skeptical because all other flea medication only last for a month.  But we decided to try it anyways if it doesn't work, it doesn't work and we'll just go back to what we know.  Now this is in no way trying to put a bad name to frontline I love it, it works! It's just a little expensive.

It's been 8 months now since we put it on her and I can definitely say it does work.  I have not seen any fleas on my dog.  It also comes with little reflectors to put on the collar but in my opinion it doesn't really do anything.  So it's your option to put it on the collar or not.  We did repurchased this item and will most likely be using this brand from now on as long as it keeps working.

Starting to blog again?

It has been a couple of years since my last post.  Nothing much has happen between my last post and now.

The only big thing that happen is my boyfriend and I got a dog during the summer.  We've always plan to get a dog together but it happened unexpectedly.  During the summer the shelters had an event called clear the shelter with all dogs puppies to adult’s adoption fee reduce to $20.  The event was almost over with only 2 hours left to check out the shelters we decided to see what the event was all about.

The first shelter we went too was crazy packed!  We walked around and there were a bunch of cute dogs but we ended up checking out another shelter called wags.  It was a lot smaller, first we looked at a Chihuahua mix adult dog he was adorable and sweet.  But we decided to look some more.

I than notice this little white dog sitting between 2 bigger dogs that look just like her.  I didn't notice her at first she was so little and scared.  I asked to see her and she just melted my heart.  She was scared and was shaking very hard.  She kept hiding under the chair but we got her out every time.  It took about 30 minutes of us comforting her until she stopped shaking.  She started to wonder around the room exploring coming to us on her own.  So adorable!  We later found out she was from a hoarding house. The owner had passed away leaving behind 13 or so dogs.  They all seem well feed just extremely dirty. We did end up adopting her and naming her Mochi.

It took a month for her to settle in and open up her personality.  At first she didn't know what to do with toys, she didn't know how to play and interact.  She didn't eat much and thought us petting her was weird.  But eventually!  She started to do normal puppy things.  She is super attached to my boyfriend.  Where ever he goes she goes.  She is definitely a little drama queen.  Her personality is unlike any other dogs I have own.  She's smart but lazy unless treats are involved she is quick to learn although she gets a little over excited when she sees a treat.

It was an unexpected surprise adopting her, but i'm glad we did. :)
