I do give him a pill for fleas tho. We also have 2 outside dogs that he loves to play with but they are bigger and he rolls around in the yard and lets them sniff him and that drives me crazy because i dont wont him to get dirty and stinky. Am I a bad yorkie mom?

No your not a bad Mom. BUT Milo does need to get outside and some fresh air and sunshine. It's good for them as well as it for humans.
IF he keeps getting flea's you need to use FrontLine or Advantage on him.
As for getting dirty, will heck they can get dirty in the house just as well.
This is just my opinion only but I do not believe in outside dog's at all never have and never will. If you have flea's in your yard then I do feel sorry for your big dog's that are outside 24/7 and the area not being treated or them as well.
