In endemic areas (including Massachusetts), annual screening tests for Lyme disease are recommended. If your dog does develop clinical illness from Lyme disease, the most common signs are lameness, fever, lethargy, and enlarged lymph nodes. Clinical illness is expected 2-5 months after infection. The majority of dogs respond very well to antibiotic treatment with Doxycycline or Amoxicillin.
Saskatchewan Day is the 1st Monday in August, in line with the Civic holiday and is a statutory holiday. From the Saskatchewan Ministry of Labour: Indeed, the first Monday in August is a statutory holiday as designated in the Labour Standards Act.
Most people simply associate it with having an extra day away from the office. And although that alone could be enough of a reason to celebrate, the true meaning behind the holiday is to honour John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Ontario (then known as Upper Canada). He was also the founder of the Historic Fort York, the birthplace of modern Toronto.
