Ticks and Fleas

Had a trip over to Broadford today to visit the vets to get the wee dog's protection against ticks and fleas. Normally we get 'Frontline' for this but today I was told that this is now not as effective as it was, as there are large infestations of ticks in the
N/W that are managing to survive this. So we picked up a packet of the new stuff 'Advantix' so we will see how this works. Ruaridh did get badly attacked by ticks a week ago so hopefully this stuff will do the trick.
Went to take some photographs but the light and weather were wrong! Went for a walk on the footpath to Balmacara didn't get there but Ruaridh enjoyed his run in the woods, also lovely to walk along the lochside and see the reeds and flowers. Popped along to Duncraig Nursery to get compost and one or two plants.
Back home to a cuppa and a big piece of toast-very hungry.
Spoke to Layla they are out to two venues tonight, enjoy. Mum appears to be OK and coping quite well.
Did some ironing, then had veggie, prawn paella for dinner lovely.
Spoke to Sue in Canada she will be here for a visit in June looking forward to that. Bye.
