She had a really terrible case of Lyme disease despite a vaccination and vigilant use of Advantix. Apparently, if a dog is under stress (the move) they can still get Lyme even with safeguards. At least that's what the vet told us about $500.00 later...<br /><br />Yes, it's fun to be nature girls, isn't it? I like paintings of mountainy places now much more than hiking.Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-81535592444467025052010-04-03T10:47:01.423-07:002010-04-03T10:47:01.423-07:00Oh man!

I've missed reading your blog and I'm glad you're back! <br /><br />I'm the mother of a teenage daughter too, and you had me at the very first sentence. And that was a perfect tie-in with your conclusion.<br /><br />The truth is, I'd far rather have a tick bite than meet a mountain lion, but it would be nice to know it wasn't the kind that cause Lyme disease. Mountain lion bites, though -- I'm guessing they'd all be dangerous.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-85829531321493784242010-04-02T13:20:20.743-07:002010-04-02T13:20:20.743-07:00Love it!! :)

Sounds like a beautiful hike (without the ticks). Nice to know you kept your sense of humor in the face of those creepy littel buggers.
