Hi I have this bite on my ankle and it's sooooooooooooooo itchy!!!!!!!

Is this a flea bite?? I have a a little French bulldog but she never ever goes on grass (she's scared of it!) and she's not scratching or anything so I don't think it come from her.

Not sure what grass has to do with it. Do you treat your dog regularly? (In many areas fleas are now resistant to frontline - I use stronghold on my cat, there is a dog version).

Could well be a flea bite and in fact if you haven't treated your dog in the last month that is the likeliest cause. (Could also be a mosquito bite). Whether or not your dog is scratching isn't a good indication. (Also a possibility that there are eggs still lingering in carpets/soft furnishings after a previous infestation, in which case you have to resign yourself to hoovering daily until they're gone.

Itchy little bastards (I speak from experience).
