    Hey. Our dog sleeps in bed with us and we dont have fleas.

    Don’t besmirch dogs like that. Phrase should be

    “Lie down with dead, flea infested rats, wake up with fleas”.

    Although I guess that is also unkind to dead flea-infested rats

      Also, do fleas infest dead rats? I would think they’d leave an animal once it died. Can’t harvest healthy blood from a dead animal.
