To let the freshly flea bathed dog sleep (i.e the dog covered in dying fleas) in a basket of DH's clean washing that he 'forgot' to move this morning, aren't I?
Oh well, never mind 
On a brighter note the cat has finally moved back downstairs [yay]
I'd also like to add that I don't often have to resort to flea baths but I forgot to reorder the flea drops and his itching was irritating me possibly more than it was him.
