Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well just got the e-mail today from the facility and for some reason I thought classes started in October, but it actually starts sept 26th!

I also made a really big decision today. Basically soccer is my life! been playing since I was 5, but I've had 2 ACL tears exactly a year and 2 months apart. One more time and I'm done. The season just started and I'm due to be released in Oct, just in time for the end of the season, but do I want to risk it? I love the sport, but I decided it might be best to just miss the season all together and have a bit come back next year which will also be my last as it's senior year! So instead looks like I'll be focusing on agility with Abby and I'll still go to games and practices(I'll do drills with them), but I won't be playing.

It also would've been a conflict because practice is the same night as agility and shizz and would either have to miss a practice or class and stuff...

But anyways I'm waiting to hear back again and all that's left is filling out the registration papers and sending in my payment. I'm also dealing with a flea problem. Bought the wrong flea meds(advantage instead of advantix) and it's not working at all. So I'm trying to get rid of them and hopefully they'll be gone soon because this weekend is the big "clean up". I'm treating the house and yard, dogs are getting baths and also getting capstar, then having the advantage applied to hopefully kill and repel the buggies.

I also start school next week(yay for online!)

should be a fun 3 weeks.

I know... But for some reason the advantage 2 we got isn't working at all. We've applied it 3 times and fleas haven't stopped if anything it's gotten worse. Probably just a bad batch but even when we bought it the guy(got it from a petstore when we usually get it from the vet) said they've gotten bad reviews about the effectiveness of the advantage 2, but for some reason we screwed up and got it when we usually get advantix



They get the dosage on the weekends usually saturday and are pretty much on crate rest until it dries and by monday they get re-bathed and then sprayed down with this lemony thingy(basically lemons boiled in water and strained etc into a bottle) to avoid the whole pesticide and kid thing

And the stuff we use to treat the house and yard is this all natural based thingy that we've used and had success with before. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it's strong as hell

I personally prefer Comfortis to treat fleas on my dog, haven't had a flea problem yet with it, and it's so much easier to use (it's a pill!)
