No Kindness for Fleas

About a month ago my son and I brought some dog food to the local animal pound. When we were there I asked the animal control officer what donations they needed most. She said besides money, flea and tick control. So today when I was at the vet picking up some up for our menagerie of three dogs and two cats, I got a couple to drop off at the pound as well. The technician told me it was buy six get two free. I'm pretty sure that “free” was a relative term here, but it helped to feel like I got a bargain on kindness.
