"The other morning I had the kids ready for school and day care and then left to prepare myself for work".' Nancy said before leaving for upstairs,she impressed on Billy, thé -day carer, that he was going to the dentist when she picked him up late in the afternoon and that he'd better get into the washroom and do a good job cleaning his teeth. "The dentist doesn't want to see a boy with dirty teeth." She also told Billy that after the trip to the dentist Brandy was being taken to the vet for a check-up. Returning some ten to fifteen minutes later she found Billy on his knees on the floor With the dog's head between his knees cleaning his teeth with wads of toothpaste and with his (Billy's) toothbrush. "What are you doing?" With great satisfaction Billy looked up, "Brandy's teeth are clean for the vet."
