Puppy Photo of the Week

[Heidi & Milton]

A swimming pool for cockroaches.  What am I referring to?  Milton's water bowl.  Over the course of the past two weeks, I have seen three, count them THREE, gigantic cockroaches in our apartment. 
Saturday night, one of them even made skin to skin contact with me on our couch
- shocking, horrific, and utterly traumatizing.  Really.  Cockroaches destroy me.

Do we live in a slum?  Are we eating off the floor using our feet for utensils?  No, absolutely not.  Do I feel like I have the stigma of "Roach" stamped on my forehead now?  Yes - 100%.

My question is - why us?  I meticulously clean, diligently remove the trash, and religiously run the
dishwasher and washing machine.  The nasty, little creatures are targeting us, and I think I know
why - the Milt.  To be more specific, the Milt's water bowl.  The scorching hot
weather in Texas has left us in a drought with these buggers creeping and
crawling in search of something to slake their thirst. 

From now on, no unmonitored water will be left out.  None.  Neither a drip nor a drop unless we
are supervising the Milt while he drinks it.  If this goldendoodle gets thirsty, he makes it known.  Milton paws at his bowl for water to magically appear, he barks loudly for us to dole some out, or he hauls himself up to peer into the
bathtub for any stray puddles.

 

"What happened to all the water, Momma?"

I've sprayed, and I've prayed.  These roaches cannot stay.

Baby Milt is soooo cute!

Willow used to get into the bathtub and waited for water to miraculously run when she got thirsty.

So far, so good.  No new roaches have been spotted since Saturday night, so here's hoping...!

That pic is absolutely hilarious, Heidi!  I agree that the roaches need to hit the road!!

OMD! That photo of Milton on the blog is too hilarious. Post it here! 

We knew the scourge of roaches when we lived in Hawaii. Everything in the kitchen was hermetically sealed. YUCKO. Good luck with your quest for roachlessness.!
