Well, both of them do have fleas, which Dante obviously brought in.  I
wish I had spotted them a little earlier-- like BEFORE I BROUGHT HIM
HOME.  Oh well, What's done is done.  My heart is breaking for poor
Stinky who has never known such an indignity in all the years he's
lived here.  They've been Frontlined, and now I have to bomb the
rooms.

As for the winged beastie-- the vet went over both of them thoroughly
with a flea comb, and we could not find another one, so it's still a
mystery.  The vet suggested that my eye happened to be caught by an
errant fly that had landed on him at the moment-- but to call him if
anything liek that turns up again.

They are both amazingly bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and the vet said
it was good, we caught the infestation before it was able to really
start sapping them.  

Now of course, poor Stinky is highly indignant, and Dante is running
around like his little pinhead self, chasing a little jingle ball. ;)
