I always hate that we aren't able to cover everything we'd like to in the scope of a 30 minute episode, but that's what our Facebook page is for:  www.facebook.com/missy.show44  We post links from information used in the show on Facebook, so you can take your time reading any information we didn't get to cover.  One of the issues I didn't get to talk about was how to control ticks and fleas in your yard.  I was able to find some useful advice on pets.WebMD.com.  Even though this is posted on our Facebook page, I'll let you read this snippet without having to search the whole article for this one part:

Q:  How can I control fleas and ticks in my yard?
A: Cut the tall grass, trim back the bushes and shrubs, then rake up all the leaf litter under the bushes. Leave it just bare ground. There are some lawn and garden insecticides that are approved by the EPA to be applied under shrubs, under bushes, in crawl spaces, along fence lines, to control fleas and ticks outside. The big issue I see is people tend to go out and start spraying their grass. That’s not effective and it’s certainly not good for the environment. Fleas and ticks are really sunlight and humidity sensitive. Most situations where we find them are under shrubs, under bushes, under porches, in shaded, protected habitats. So we should only be applying those compounds in a limited fashion under those locations. Then we’re going to let it dry on the foliage for three to four hours before we allow our pets and our children back out there.
 
D is having some computer issues. As soon as she gets her system back up and running, she will send me links to her information and I will get those posted too.  My links are already up.  I'm also taking a Facebook poll to see if anyone would be interested in more paranormal pet topics.  A poll is also being conducted on The Missy Show Google Plus page.  I'll let you know of results as they roll in.  Be sure to let us know what you think.
 
Okay--back to your regularly scheduled Caturday night!!!!!!!!!
