Fleas Again
May 3rd 2010 21:00
After playing with my Tonkinese boys the other night, I took a good look at them and noticed the flea situation had improved. I mentioned this to Brett and he said he had bought some flea treatment products from the supermarket but they weren’t as effective as the one his vet used.
As if to prove me wrong, some fleas appeared on Gingersnap’s head. Gingersnap then gave himself a scratch.
“When are you going to take them to the vet?” I asked. “It can’t be fun having fleas.”
“Soon,” said Brett. I sighed. Brett’s idea of soon ranged from five minutes to five months.
I offered to take them to the vet for him as long as he gave me the money to cover the vet’s fees. Brett said he was flat broke. I thought about offering to pay for them to see the vet as long as Brett later paid me back but I stopped myself. The last time I lent Brett money - the princely sum of ten dollars - it took him two months for him to pay me back. Ever since then, I made it a policy not to lend money to friends unless it was an emergency as money issues can easily end most friendships.
