32. If we can just help a little bit. Feminine products and also dog food or dog

Help. I loan my animal clippers to her so she can shave her dog to get rid of ticks. Really bad tick season in southern Oregon. It's just little things we take for granted, but she's been pulling ticks off herself and dog since March.
Let's just keep looking out for each other best we can. Safety nets are disappearing at an alarming rate and no notification. Just gone. So sad and unacceptable!
Take care. And, thank you!
