I know I am.  Fleas are not only uncomfortable for our dogs, but they can cause illness, hair loss, allergies and so on. — I discovered Advocate a couple of years ago.  It is a relatively new product that is a once a month treatmet that is put between the dog's shoulder blades.  It will get rid of any fleas within 12 hrs. (usually I've seen them gone in far less).  It also gets rid of round worms and helps in the prevention of heartworms, hookworms, whipworms, sarcoptic mange,  and ear mites. — Since I have been using this product I have not had a dog with any type parasite, ear mites or heartworms.  Oh, yes, as long as I use it each month, they do not have fleas. — In very heavy flea season, I have had to use it at 3 week intervals, to keep the fleas off. — Wonderful product - and very reasonably priced. —...

We know it is there, we often see it and know who's doing it, but we don't have to approve or participate. — I've been watching this in DVD and am anxiously awaiting the next season to come out! —...

Here is an excerpt of a professional review on this book: —...

I thought this diet would work well for me. — A close friend had used the Atkins diet to lose quite a bit of weight and it really worked for him.  However, I noticed that he did not look healthy anymore.  He looked drawn, old, and ... just didn't look good at all.  He also lost a lot of his energy.  When he quit the diet, he began to look better again.  He found that he could restrict his carbs, though not as severely as the diet called for and he kept his weight down.  — I tried restricting my carbs in the way he had started doing when he quit the diet itself, and I found that I...
