Hi Reader,

Hope you're well. We have had really lovely weather in Kansas City, which has been great for getting up the rest of my leaves. It's still freezing over night, so no worries about fleas, which is a relief.

This week's video is exciting to me - I got to interview a guy who studied fleas and the bugs that eat them! An entirely different way of looking at flea control - so I hope you enjoy it.

Charlie is doing well. Still mostly on canned food, but eating some cooked (his raw cooked with a completer added). I really want to get him back on raw, but not sure if it's in the cards given his age and no Chiggy to encourage him to eat. As long as he isn't having issues from what he's eating, I am OK with him being on canned. We switched from canned because of Trigg. I would prefer Charlie to be on raw, but he was only eating pork with raw, and I am getting more variation in him through canned.

Have you finished your holiday shopping? If not, please consider shopping through our shop (it's just our affiliate links - but when you buy through our links, it helps the site and Charlie).

If you have time, I always appreciate a view and comment on this past week's shorts!

​The Inside Scoop on Flea Destroyer with Steve Hazzard, the Creator 🐶🐱

I was excited to approach the whole flea thing from a different perspective - from the bugs that eat fleas! Thank you to Steve Hazzard, the creator of Flea Destroyer, for doing this interview with me and for also creating a product that solves a problem, but is also safe for people, pets and kids.

​Flea Destroyer:[Amazon]

​
Here’s why I love it:
✅ Long-lasting: Unopened product lasts 1 year in the fridge and 6 months at room temp. ❄️🌡️
✅ Flexible application: You can’t overapply! 🎉 Very important to apply after the first thaw to give the nematodes a chance to establish themselves before the fleas start to emerge. You can also apply in the Fall prior to the freeze as well as in mid-spring before the weather gets really hot.
✅ Easy to use: No constant watering needed after application. 💧 EXCEPT for 2-3 days after application.
✅ Effective against all stages: Targets flea larva and pupa for maximum results. 🐛
✅ Kills flea larva and pupa: Flea Destroyer is most effective on larva and pupa. 🍂

​Willow – Ragdoll of the Week​

" One of Willow’s favorite past times was sitting on his sunflower cat tree watching the birds outside. He would chatter in the funniest way when one would get close enough as though he was the bird whisperer that could draw them in for a closer look! After all the excitement he would have to take a little catnap because bird watching is tiring business! "
