Subject: More praise for Dr. Tysor

We have a 11 y.o. lab mix that we actually found on the chatlist.  She has always suffered from allergies and skin issues and honestly, she smells, even after a bath. BUT, we love her and tried every vet starting at Cole Park, then Carrboro, Dogwood, and Hope Crossing.  Because of the fluke of our 3 legged kitty and the chatlisters suggesting Dr. Tysor for that amputation, we decided to take Addie there also.

In response to a request for referrals, our Lab has had wonderful experiences at Companion Camp in Pittsboro over many years.  Check out their web-site, it really is a little like a doggy dream vacation.

Subject: Dog boarding

Hello.
Although I cannot personally speak about dog boarding, I can tell you a little about Companion Camp, located on Castle Rock Road, Pittsboro.

Each time I have been to this facility, it was immaculate, and there was someone feeding dogs and walking dogs.

I don’t board my dogs, simply because I stay home with them, but I have used the groomer that was at Companion Camp.

Both Suzanne and Tom are great animal lovers, and from what I have seen, your animals would be in excellent hands if they were boarded there.

Subject: Keep the tick please!

We (Tick-borne Infections Council of NC) have had reports of several people being bitten by “black-looking” ticks in the last few weeks.  Please note:

1. These are likely the black-legged tick (used to be called deer tick) that carries Lyme disease and several other serious infections.

2.  Adults of this species are active in the winter and have spread into NC over the last decade or so.

3.  If you are bitten, watch for any rashes and/or flu-like symptoms for 30 days.  Many people do not get a rash from an infection.

Subject: Keeping cats out of your mulch

In response to the post about keeping cats from digging up mulch, I have a couple of low-tech solutions that have worked for me.

I tried lots of things, including keeping a pile of sand behind the shrubs in hopes they’d use that instead of digging up my plants. Didn’t work.

Subject: Re:  Ladybugs!

Asian lady beetles begin their search for safe winter harbor with cooling fall weather.  To them the sunny side of light-colored buildings seems ideal, although dark colors as well as brick or stone will do.  Scientists speculate that some chemical cues (such as the scent of last year’s visiting lady beetles) may lure them to sites previously used.

Subject: contraptions made by the ACME company

In response to Tommy Edwards post referring to Steve Smiths’ post. This morning I saw first hand what leaves them befuddled about nothing.

 A 50 cal., 250 grain slug from a muzzle loader seems to solve the problem just fine. Unfortunately, this one was not made by ACME.

Steve Smith? suggestion to get rid of coyotes by giving them contraptions made by the ACME company is a great one. But while that may produce good results, it seems that no matter how battered, bruised, burned, or befuddled the coyote is, he always returns to make mischief again.
