It's been a tough couple weeks with out the Kernel Curly...very very quiet.

A few months ago, I mentioned my husband got a EB puppy which had been living with him in Los Angeles. After much discussion, we decided to move her to Colorado as soon as DoD travel restrictions are lifted.

In short, she is having issues with fleas (we don't have fleas on the mountain in CO) and she is picking up bad habits from the Vizsla she lives with (hubby's best friend's dog), so Stu wants to transition JoJo to Colorado sooner than later.

I'm excited to have some chaos back in the house and hopefully this will happen soon after 4th of July.

She is a cutie, and Mama can teach her some good habits(:whistle:). Either that or you will BE taught! Either way the girl will add some activity! You are so lucky to not have fleas where you live! Keep us up to date!

Sheā€™s still a beautiful baby!!! Us in Alberta right above you, no fleas here either. More north where all trees are from my understanding...guess fleas donā€™t like the Rockies lol I do use when I walk in the mountain or go towards the Rockies lavender oil to keep ticks away. Works great.. Also for fleas n mosquitos...

FOR TICKS

14 oz of Witch Hazel
12 drops of Lavender
15 drops of Citronella
15 drops of Lemongrass

Put all in a spray bottle and shake.

I've only seen 2 mosquitoes since we moved to this elevation and we are fortunate to have very few ticks too but I did save this mixture for whenever we do venture to lower elevations.

Wasnā€™t it you that went camping or fishing n you used it on yourself will your visitorā€™s didnā€™t want to use it n they got bitten?

By the way Yes you can use it on humans. Just the citronella might smell weird on a human. But hey, better than nothing if youā€™re getting bitten alive loll

Not me! But I have 5 bites on my forehead, 1 on my cheek, 1 on each arm and 1 on my finger. So Iā€™ll take the citronella smell over this. Although I canā€™t find witch hazel in any store right now and mine is kind of old so itā€™s probably list some potency. And recipes without witch hazel?

It was ME :) I trusted it was working on me, but being one that doesn't attract bugs in the first place, i wasn't absolutely sure if it was just that or this spray that worked so well, but after watching it work on my friend who is a very tasty to bugs person, i was totaly convinced of it's powers :) Yes! it is a wonderful solution...

Im not absolutely sure that i used it with the Witch Hazel at that time.... I "believe" that it's not the witch hazel ingredient that has it working but that it is a good medium for the oils. Im sure 'she' will chime in though. I do the mix with distilled water when i use for spraying window seals/screens etc as they do not need that i dont believe.

I just looked at the witch hazel I have and the date is February 2020 so it's actually not as old as I thought it was.

And I always attract the mosquitos...must be cause I am so sweet hahahahaha.

[MENTION=16619]Cbrugs[/MENTION], WH basically evaporates faster so the oils penetrates n sinks onto the skin better. I know here tons of WH at winners/tJ max...
