The reservoir for heartworm is not just dogs. All canids are susceptible. Wolves, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, and some cats can also be hosts. This disease is endemic enough that if every dog was cleared there would still be a threat to our pets.

First off:
59 lambs born in 1 week from 32 of the 66 bred ewes (as of Sunday night).

A typical day involves ~5miles of walking with 500'-600' of elevation gain on our hilly farm. Cleaning out lambing pens and rebedding them. Filling water buckets. Filling hay racks. Trimming hooves, vaccinating, and deworming on new mothers. Ear tagging and recording info on new lambs. Letting out ewe&lambs that look good to free up space for new mothers and lambs.

Just got a txt from my wife. This morning there were 7 new lambs from 4 mothers and the lambs were all mixed up.

Penny has been a doing puppy stuff, nothing unusual. However, for the safety of the very young lambs we’ve been keeping Penny physically separated from the lambs (until they are bigger).

Mark, I'm missing your posts. How are all the new lambs and mamas doing? And Duke and Penny? Did Duke recover well from his heart worm infection?

You just quit posting, but I am still interested.
