Fleas! Have you tried this?

Get a flea comb and comb Pookie several times a day. Have handy a glass
of dawn-laced water for them - as they come off on to the comb...dunk
the comb.
Just passing thru...hope you don't mind the suggestion.
I'm pretty sure I have a flea comb - the teeth are very close
together, but I have not been able to get any fleas at all while using
it. They slip through the teeth. I'll look for another one. Thanks!
Hah, when I was much younger (much much younger) I once managed to
catch a case of crab lice. I got some poison from the drugstore along
with a comb, and realized that that's where the expression "going over
something with a fine tooth comb" comes from. I remember laughing out
loud as the thought popped into my head. Until then it was just words
without context.
It's also where the expression "nit picking" comes from.
