In reply to the post about ticks, the best thing I've seen to repell ticks
is a good regimen of tick and flea shampoo and medications such as your
Revolution.  This is a bad year for ticks, and the best thing you can do
for now is to check ALL your pets and yourself after comming in contact
with other animals or being outside.  Check especially in their "armpits"
and ears and chest.  And be on watch for ticks crawling on furniture, sunny
windows, and carpeting.
