Which is why I cited it.

Remember, ticks can be picked up off the trail and in the city. My daughter had Lyme Disease when she was 3 or 4. We lived in middle of Newport News and hadn't been on any trails or out to the country. The only way I can imagine her getting it is from drainage systems that run behind through the neighborhoods behind the houses. The first time we took her to the doctor, they diagnosed her with the flu...

Thanks - he is already so much better. He's still sore, but running around - and I think he will be all better very soon, and back out on the trail! Funny little dog - he LOVES to hike - but HATES to take one little step off the trail when it's time to find the box!! If I leave him on the trail, he whines until I get back to him (he's always left with someone...). So, I suppose he will never be one to sniff out a good box. But I keep trying. LOL!!!

Just wanted to report that little Dewey dog has bounced back in an amazing fashion. He has had his first trek out to Sky Meadows park (well near there) to pick some apples. He lamented the fact that he has no opposable thumbs, and therefore could do no apple picking.
