He’s perfect. And it was love at
first sight.
Dark, soulful eyes. Soft, silky
hair. A warm and loving personal
ity. Always ready to go anywhere
with me. And waiting to greet me
every morning with a big kiss.
No, no, no. Not The Farmer.
The dog, friends. Our dog.
Though part of the family less
than a year, Solomon has solidly
wedged himself into all our hearts.
Of the half-dozen or so dogs
we’ve loved as part of the family
over the years, this one has proved
to be exceptionally intelligent,
well-behaved, and playful.
That first night, though we
instantly fell for his outgoing
affection and how “pretty” he was,
we weren’t so sure he’d adapt. He
spent the entire evening running
around so frantically “marking
territory” that he developed an
infection. And prompdy disap
peared the next morning when we

let him out, trotting nonchalantly
back a couple of hours later.
After a few mornings of the
same, we discovered he was busy
paying his respects to the neigh
borhood lady dogs. A phone call
promptly set up a visit to a local
neutering clinic to end those
excursions.
An assistant there sniffed at my
description of the patient as a
miniature Collie, and haultily cor
rected me that there is no such
dog. They are Shellies. But larger
than most purebred Shellies, Solo
mon’s more a mid-size than a
compact model.
Larger now, too, than when he
arrived. In recent weeks, Solomon
has begun to fill out more through
the middle. This may in part have
something to do with his stealing
the bam cats’ milk every chance
he gets, while concurrently chas
ing them from his food dish.
Accustomed to being some-
thing of a house-dog for his first
four years, he has adjusted well to
his new career as a farm dog.
Despite his long, thick hair, with
full white chest and white feet,
Solomon has always kept himself
extremely clean. Only if the dairy
barn’s center alley has clean, fresh
sawdust will he lay down there
while we milk. He’ll pick his way
1 around wet or dirty spots, careful
ly planting his feet at only the
driest places.
Unless he can help chase cattle.
An inbred instinct to help herd
cattle overcomes his usual distaste
for dirt. Every evening as we fin
ish milking. The Farmer switches
groups of heifers let in to the feed
’’ bunk area. Solomon know.s
switch-time almost to the minute,
waiting around near the barn’s
back door ’til he gets the word.
Oblivious to the barnyard
“residue” around the bunk area, he
prances around helping.
While he’s often in and out of
the house with us, four paws liber
ally coated with wet barnyard
“residue” bar him from traipsing
across the kitchen floor. Plus, he
likes to sneak onto the living room
couch if he thinks someone isn’t
looking, a no-no in our house -
clean or dirty-footed.
If he isn’t admitted to the house
shortly after the lights come on in
the morning, he scratches his toe
nails against the aluminum storm
door - a grating, unmistakable
racket that is his effective method
of knocking.
Ever playful, Solomon thrives
on “fetching.” Tennis balls, Fris
bees, kindling, rolled up newspap
ers - he’ll bring it all back and

stand, tail thrashing, begging for
another turn. A blown-up balloon
sends him into a frenzy from
which he has no rest until he’s
pounced on and burst it with a
bang. Balloons are the only toys
which surpass the old, faded soc
cer ball. I kick and he either car
ries or nudges it back with nose
and paws. Solomon Soccer I call
it. The Farmer calls it “spending
quality time with the ‘kid’.”

Checking Chickens
For Salmonella
WAYNE (Wayne Co.) Far
mers and USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
are working together to control the
spread of Salmonella enteritidis
from fresh, unbroken shell eggs.
Breeding flocks - the chickens
that produce the chickens that lay
the eggs (you buy) - are being
tested to make sure they are
monella free. Research has proven
a hen with Salmonella can pass the
bacteria into their eggs.
This mandatory program seeks
to control Salmonella spread, but
it will probably be quite sometime
before shell eggs can be certified
Salmonella free.
Until that time there arc several
things consumers can do to protect
themselves while still enjoying the
flavor and nutrition of real eggs.
- Eggs are perishable food and

bark, alerting us to visitors. Solo
mon barks... at guineas, chickens,
geese, motorcycles, cats, and most
vigorously at wary UPS delivery
men. He takes his job very seri
ously, barking twice as hard if he
thinks someone is even slightly
intimidated by him.
So he chases cats, intimidates
delivery people, has dirty feet,
sneaks on the couch, and is prone
to fleas. Okay, so he’s not perfect.
But he’s close enough.
should be handled and stored
carefully.
- Store eggs in the refrigerator
(40 degrees F). They should not be
left out more than two hours. This
is also true for hard-cooked eggs.
- Cook eggs thoroughly to (160
degrees F) to prevent the growth
of bacteria: Any products contain
ing eggs should also be cooked
thoroughly before eating. This
includes cake and cookie batters,
ice cream mixes containing eggs
and egg nogs.
- Some grocery stores are offer
ing pasturized eggs. These eggs
are safe to use in egg nogs and ice
cream mixes without cooking.
If you have questions about egg
safety or would like additional
information please contact Debra
Bryant, PSU Cooperative Exten
sion Agent, at (717) 253-5970 ext.
