Unfortunately, with spring, comes TICKS. Even before the snow melted 2 weeks ago, I pulled 4 engorged ticks off my Golden Retriever. Then this last week, I pulled one off ME !
It was probably a dog tick, but I went to the Dr. for Doxycycline , just in case. There are a lot of ticks in the Lansing Station Rd. area; don't know if this it true elsewhere, but be aware of the possibility of picking up ticks when you go off into the bushes and woods. I think the dog and I get them both in our yard and up in the woods nearby, since neither of us sticks to paths. Donna L.
