"In Louisiana, we have fleas the size of cows that can haul you off in a split-second." 
Lisa, having gotten "up front and personal" with those fleas last year, while living in Lake Charles, is one of the few reasons I don't mind freezing up here in Colorado!!!
They were awful even with Toto not getting outside ... they jump on your shoes and hitch a ride to your pet!! And the thing that amazed me more were the mosquitos ... those things are like little "fighter jets"!! No doubt, we didn't spend much time outdoors down there!! However, on the upside ... that's where we found that wonderful trainer for Toto! He was like magic with her ... him, we miss!!
