The Orkin man to the rescue!

Gracie is still not a camera ham.  She lays her ears back when the camera comes out and the flashy thing goes off. 

It started innocently enough.   The one who is paw challenged noticed that a swarm of ants was covering the front driveway.    The warm spring sun had brought them out to do their thing and apparently their thing is forming large swarms in sunny places.   He grabbed his spray gun and went to work on them.     Shortly thereafter he was out back and on the logs by the garden was another swarm of ants.    

So a real search was conducted.   He was searching for swarms of anything.  He found another one.   He called the Orkin man.    The Orkin man made an inspection of the house, looking everywhere.    Then he delivered the bad news.

"You have a terrible infestation!  One of the worst I have ever seen, it will be terribly hard to control this one."     He then took some photos to document the extent of the infestation.   Below is his photo of the worst Infestation of Golden Retrievers he had ever seen. 

The photo was a little blurry, the pest control man took the photo as he was fleeing out the front door, he was in fear of his uniform.  His black pants were rapidly being covered by golden hair.  We did not think it was funny, and we think the resident chauffeur should be ashamed.    Besides, the infestation will cure itself tomorrow when our cousins family gets home from their vacation and we are back to being just three.

    An infestation of Goldens, including the dog hair is the best kind of infestation.

    As long as he didn't spray, I think you'll be ok! :)

    We have the exact same problem here!! It's followed by grass dying and hair flying. The only cure is a roller brush, a good vacuum, and the love for a not so perfect yard! :-))

    We think that is a terrific infestation to have. Our termite guy looks forward to his annual inspection so he can talk to all of us.

    P.s. - we loved the catalogue comment the other da.

    Mogley, You are too funny!!!! I'd say that it's a party, a great big party, of Goldens. It's not an "infestation" :)
