We have plenty of ticks around depending on where you go. Funny, I’ve never been bitten by one despite having found them on me hours later…

Jim – good point, did that happen in New York? I think all of the people I’ve met with Lyme disease were from the northeast – strange.

If you camp with your dog don’t forget to protect the pooch too… Ask your vet about the lyme disease vaccination, Also there are many topical tick repellent meds that you can get form your vet.

My dog Max tested positive for lyme this past Friday, lyme disease effects the joints and Saturday he was unable to stand on his own. It was so sad to see him this way. Something that could have been prevented so easily… Don’t worry Max is doing much better now that he is on his meds…
