Fleas n ticks!! ARGH!

my poor darling has been infested by fleas and ticks recently!! boohoo!! e poor boy... my poor JayJay!! dunno when he got it... must've been quite a while cos the flea i found was HUGE! wonder how much blood it has been sucking from JayJay already!

i found it when i was sayanging him on the head and i felt a lump. strange... JayJay never had a lump on his head. so i ploughed through his long fur and there the BIG FAT grey flea was... with its teeth clenching on the skin! at first, i was still wondering what it was and then i tot i saw some moving legs! oh man... i freaked out!! really freaked out and started screaming for help. my sis was really brave... she grabbed a tissue paper and plucked the stupid flea out! it was so firmly stuck she had to use quite a bit of force. gosh... how JayJay must've hurt but when it was finally out, he was soooo happeee he immediately started wagging his tail! haha!!

the worst is not over... we had to search his whole body for more. imagine moving ur hands all over knowing that u might just touch a flea. YEEE!! no choice, we did just that and indeed, there was another one near its armpit (ok... i know dogs haf no arms but u get what i mean...haha!). this one was less fat but looks just as gross!

after tt, we searched somemore and we found another species of disgusting creatures on him... it's reddish brown in colour, prob abt 1-2mm in size, with 6 legs!! TICKS!! argghhh... nowadays, we haf to do a body search everyday for JayJay and we've been catching like 3-5 per day. EWW right? now i'm so scared to carry JayJay or stroke him cos according to KJ, the ticks can crawl onto our bodies n bite us too.

we din find any yesterday and today (crossing fingers), but if we find more, we gotto go buy the anti-ticks and anti-flea medication for him. haaaiii... poor boy...
