Penny Lane

Just a little THANK YOU to The Ace family for rescuing Bisco from the shelter. Bisco just proved at the picnic he should not have been in the shelter in the first place. Hugs from all pointer lovers to Bisco . Thank you Kyle Ace for loving Bisco like he was one of yours.

Greetings from your humble Editor:

With Spring Showers come warmth and many May flowers, and dog shows, and field, obedience and agility trials, and long walks in the sunshine, trips to lakes, cottages and so on. Remember to check your dogs for ticks, which are becoming more prevalent and have been moving into parts of the country not previously seen. I also noticed that at my vet’s clinic there was news that heartworm incidents have also been increasing. Many breeders do not give heartworm medication, and in previous years, the cooler Canadian weather suggested that perhaps this was ok. However, the shifting pattern - likely part of a broader climate change - may cause people to revisit their views. PCC doesn’t advocate either choice (treatment or non), but it does seem that changing weather patterns means that each of us should periodically refresh our own views with input from our vets. On that note, take care of your pointers and your beloved pets this Spring and Summer season as you’re enjoying the wonderful weather!
