Wife just came down to the office, demanding to know where I let the heeler sisters run today.

She and the three heelers were in bed watching tv, and she noticed the maskless heeler turning to quickly nip her butt.

That's a bad sign.

Yep, a flea.

Quickly removed and executed (with prejudice).

This is not a casual, recurring event in our household. These heelers sleep in the same bed as we do, sit in the same chairs. Discovery of a flea (which has occurred less than six times in over 20-some years of heelers) calls for immediate combing and grooming of all square centimeters of each dog.

Think I'll stay here with diaries.

Wife did make a point to mention the maskless heeler was sleeping against my pillow.
