Arbor Day Observance Set For April 26 SPRING GROVE (York Co.) Arbor Day will be observed this year in Pennsylvania Friday, April 26. It has been designated by the Legislature to recognize the important part trees, and the products, which come from them, play in maintaining the quality of life Pennsylvanians enjoy. Even before Arbor Day offi cially arrives, landowners in south central Pennsylvania have been busy planting thousands of evergreen tree seedlings furn ished through Glatfelter Pulp Wood Company’s annual cost sharing program. The program, which has been responsible for the planting of over 19 million seedlings in Penn sylvania since its beginning in 1951, shares the cost of the seed lings. Landowners in Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mifflin, Northumberland, Perry, Schuyl kill, Snyder and York counties are eligible to participate. Glatfelter Pulp Wood Compa ny imposes no restrictions of any kind, but since the seedlings were grown in Bureau of Forestry nurseries, landowners must com- is & 1 q QffflMMJHTffTfifl t Q "JBprJing _PJ? 1n...

That had been our assumption concerning joint stiffness increas ingly noticeable in our beloved resident, 90-pound pooch. Her tendency to eat anything that doesn’t bite back couldn’t help, because Derra never misses a chance to eat. “Now that’s a solid dog,” an acquaintance who stopped by once declared in what had to be the most politically-correct statement of that week. She is so solid that she can knock me right off balance and onto the floor if we get to playing too rough. Her enthusiasm for food is a key rea son Derra is a farm dog and not the working guide dog she was originally trained to be. Raised in the 4-H Seeing Eye Puppy program, Derra was origi nally introduced to our daughter by a fellow college instructor. The friend, whose daughter was rais ing the yellow lab pup for her in tended purpose in life, often brought Derra along to the cam pus office as part of her training. Once trained and “graduated” from the Seeing Eye dog pro gram, Derra was matched with her sightless new owner. It was then that her gluttonous tenden cies to snitch food when someone wasn’t looking or in this case, was unable to see along with a love for chasing squirrels, brought her noble career path to a screeching halt. Demoted back to dog-civilian life, she was adopted by the grandkids and returned with them from Oregon to the house at the other side of the meadow. Derra shortly earned promotion to full-fledged, resident farm dog, guardian to the barn cats, pest to the squirrels that hung out in the maple trees, and barker at cows, cats, foxes, groundhogs, deer, passing neighbors and some times, possibly, just the wind. And always on the lookout for a handout or a bucket of calf milk from which to snitch a taste. For some time, we’ve noticed an increasing stiffness in her back legs, usually most prevalent after more strenuous-than-usual amount of exercise. Seeing as how age does that to most of us s II I si LO° Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Apnl 20, 2002-B3 two-legged-types, we attributed it to her years. And her “solidness.” Derra’s Seeing-Eye training carries with it a lifetime of mini mal routine vet care. During her recent annual checkup and shots, the clinic nearby suggested con sidering a routine Lyme Disease test. After she had a visibly pain ful couple of days recently, fol lowing some more strenuous than usual exercise, we had her tested. And Derra Dog indeed has Lyme Disease. Along with her diagnosis came some startling information: that single, rural vet care clinic nearby says they are diagnosing two cases per day of the deer tick-bite disease. Two cases per day, from a single pet clinic. Lyme Disease in dogs is apparently reaching something of epidemic propor tions, at least in this area. According to clinic staff, rou tinely testing dogs for the joint stiffening affliction is a fairly-re cent addition to their canine checkups. Some dogs test positive the simple and quick blood test without showing any outward clinical symptoms, like the stiff ness which Derra has. The staffer I spoke with suggested that our mild winter has likely been a key contributing factor, since flea and ticks populations escaped the usual cold weather killoff. Fortunately. Lyme Disease in dogs can be treated, as it can in humans, with antibiotic therapy. Derra got a shot, with a follow up daily antibiotic routine for a month. Administering the small, round medications to her is a piece of cake, so to speak. Or more likely a bit of cheese, or meat, or bread, even a bite of ba nana, into which I tuck the little pill. Vaccination against the tick borne bug will follow Derra’s antibiotic therapy. A second recommendation that Derra could stand to lose weight is more difficult and prompted my instant (but not very diplomatic) laughing reply from a split-second of total hon esty: “Don’t hold you breath...” She may be a “solid” dog. Just like we should all want for any family member.
