poor little guy. it will take some time for the fear to fade.  what i want
you to be wary of is mosquitos. they will be dangerous this year. they are
carrying a host of diseases that most americans never had contact with in
this century.  malaria, and cholera, and a terrible african fever.  this is
because of the climate getting warmer due to global warming.  Also, be wary
of termites and Cockroaches. all of these creatures will be coming out in
record numbers because THEY DID NOT GET  killed off with the winter cold
frost, because in many places there was not a cold frost.. They are living
near old tires, which have rain water in them, pools, and any lakes,  mud
pools, etc.  ticks will be more numerous this year too. so be sure you and
your dogs / cats are protected from ticks.
