I've found this to be true with the frontline as well.  She
sleeps with us too, so it's important to keep her free of
such critters.

I've never had to deal with that with SChotze, thankfully.
There's one pit/rottie cross around here that comes around
whenever she's in heat.  WE're trying to get her to do the
mommy thing once, then we'll have her fixed.  I"m not
worried about good akc registerd rottie pups going to people who will
mistreat or mishandle them, because any that I
don't find good homes for can go to pilot guide dogs in
their puppy program.

YEp, our first ROtt, Roxy which we adopted off the streets
of NEw oRleans belonged to a crack dealer, she saw him
gunned down.  Crack dealer's cousin who fought pit bulls
took her in, but she wouldn't fight, so he turned her out on the street. 
I"ve told the story in this echo before though, it's a long sad tale.
WE gave her the best years of her life, and even with the
heartworm she lived to a ripe old age before hte strokes
robbed her of enjoyable and useful life.

Regards,
           Richard
