Joys of Pet Ownership

Joe and I got to experience a different joy of pet ownership for the first time this weekend.  We discovered fleas on Couver Friday morning and then on Bella later in the afternoon.  So we got give everyone a bath last night.  Yes, you've got that right, we gave Bella a bath.  Giving Bella a bath required Joe to suit up in a sweatshirt, fleece, and leather gloves.  We were hoping to just give her a sponge bath but that didn't work so while I was dumping water on Bella I was dumping water on Joe. :-) Then of course we had to vacuum everything and wash all of our bedding.  Joe had a fun time at the laundry mat.  

So no big deal but I think the reason this is the first time is because it is too frickin' hot and dry out in Colorado for fleas to survive.  Yea Michigan!
