Frontline Plus seemed to be virtually useless on fleas last Fall, and my vet is in agreement there, but he talked me into alternating FP & Advantage every couple weeks during the nasty months in order to get both flea & tick protection. We'll see ... it's still a big experiment.

Have you ever used Revolution?

When we lived on the farm, I used to spray permethrin around the yard (not knowing that I could have killed my cats with it as I'm sure that I wasn't particularly careful about it). We are currently entertaining the idea of buying & moving a small farm up Sallyg's way-ish, so if that actually happens, I'll be back in the thick of tick central once again. Ugh!

I don't have any pic's of the nutcase from class, but if my DH ever comes along, I'll ask him to take some. I've got a few pic's from a recent training session in the backyard though. Here's one of the goofball over-jumping by a mile.
