The final week of the Thanksgiving to Thanksgiving Gratitude challenge: Day 43

 

Monday, November 24, 2025

For an "old man", The Prisoner was looking pretty spry on Sunday, perched safely out of Ember's reach.

Today I am thankful for the advancements in pet pest control!  I remember "flea powder" back when I was a child.  Nowadays, I just have to squirt stuff on the back of my cat's neck once every couple of months and give the dog a pill every 30 days.  

Not only that... Ember likes the pill and gobbles it down like a treat.

Oh, and for balance of humor, here's Ember snoozing in typical labrador sprawl for her Sunday afternoon nap!

  1. Yeah, I really wish they had that for people, wouldn't it be nice to just put drops on your neck and you would be able to go in the woods without worrying about ticks and mosquitoes for, like, three months? It has come a long way but oh, I wish they would do that for people - LOL

    1. We can dream, can't we? But apparently more people are willing to spend the big bucks on different kinds of pharmaceutical solutions for other problems?

  2. YES! Miss Lilly devours her monthly flea/tick/heartworm pill. Thankful for that for sure!

    Awwww, both Prisoner and Ember look wonderful.

    1. I've been trying to capture Ember's sleeping positions because they crack me up!

    1. I always debate whether it's "I'm safe here" or "Geez, Mom, it's hot in here!"😁😂
