Fire trucks rumbled into our parking lot with lights flashing. Half a dozen men, all dressed in bulky fire suits, jumped out of the trucks and rushed inside. There was smoke in the office, evidence of fire, and the firemen were there to help. They examined the ceiling near an emergency light and found the source

To win the war against fleas, one must fight on multiple fronts. Treat the dog – “their “homeland” – then treat all the other places they may
