Because it's Friday.
Found a flea on my dog on Weds. UGH! Put on his flea meds a few days early, ordered shit.
Today I combed him as best I could with his hair, gave him a wash (missing out the area where his flea meds went), vacuumed the entire house and I'm now sitting in my bedroom with him and the door closed as I have flea sprayed everywhere but my bedroom and my MIL's bedroom. I put clothing at the base of the door to keep crap from coming in as best I could as I can't keep the dog outside for 1-1/2 hours (he's limping badly or I'd take him to the park). I can smell the ick and hoping we're not getting poisoned in here. I'll let him out in another 1/2 hour and spray our bedroom.
This sounds like a very extreme reaction for a single flea! I'd take a deep breath (outside, in fresh air- LOL) and dose him with a Capstar or another internal, if the vet okays it with the topical you used if you're worried that there are more on him (I have a big hairy black dog, too, I know they're a nightmare for pest monitoring). Don't forget to wash his bedding (anywhere he likes to nap) and crate, but, a few fleas doesn't mean the end of civilization. You'll be okay. I'd rather have a flea than ticks any day, those assholes are trickier to eradicate.

I took Monday off, so I could have a three day weekend to finish up some decorating projects that I just can't seem to find the time for. And here I am, half way through Saturday, and I haven't done a thing yet.

I was off W-F last week, plus the weekend, mostly because some family was in town visiting, but I also really thought I'd get started on painting in either our LR or family room. Yeah, I didn't even make it to the paint store for paint strips/samples.
I hope your weekend ended up more productive than mine!

Nope. It's now Monday and I haven't done one productive thing. I thought about it, if that counts. Oh well. At least I'm well rested.
