Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Middleground.

I'm Caroline and I'm solo on the mic today, and I hope you guys are having a wonderful day or night or evening or afternoon or whatever you're listening to this.

And welcome.

Before we dive in today's episode, let's do a little grounding moment.

My grounding moment is that Frankie does not have fleas anymore.

And I'm so happy about it, guys.

I'm so happy.

If you didn't know, if you didn't listen to last episode,

Frankie, unfortunately, got fleas.

And now I know the source of them. It is my grandmother's dog who is like 15 years old.

And my grandma lives next to me. Her house is literally right next door. So, um, anyways, long

story short, my grandma called me like two days or two days after I found

out Frankie has fleas and she said that her dog was itching and she wanted to know if I could take

her to get, um, like medicine for the dog. And I was like, um, why is your dog

itching? Like, tell me more. And she was like, I don't know. She's just, like, itching yourself.

And I feel really bad. Like, she needs just, like, shampoo and stuff. And I was like,

does she have fleas? And she's like, no. And I was like, okay, you know, know like just a little way about that and so then

I got her in the car we took her not the dog we just took me and my grandma um to the store and I was like

wait tell me more like I was still intrigued and she was just like she's itching Caroline more. Like, I was still intrigued. And she was just like, she's itching, Caroline, you know, whatever.

And I said, Grandma, I think we should take her to the vet because she is an older dog

and I don't really know what to get you at Walmart.

So let's just take her to the vet.
