The Dog Legend Who of Owned Calamity the Jane Mail He was a likable, stray border terrier who had two hobbies: He liked to travel and he liked mail bags. In particular, the dog who became known as Owney liked to sleep on mail bags and it did not matter to him if the mail bags were headed across town or across country. In the late 1800s, when dogs frequently roamed freely, Owney became the darling mascot of the postal service and even a world traveler. It all started in 1888 in Albany, NY, when the dog showed up at a post office and was adopted by the postal workers. They noticed Owney liked to sleep on mail bags and one other thing: Owney was friendly toward postal workers who needed to move mail bags, but he was decidedly unfriendly to non-postal workers. The talent was a useful one as Owney traveled from one post office to another, guarding mail bags in return for food and water. On one occasion, a mail bag fell off a train and Owney stayed with the bag until a worker came back for it. He quickly gained fame across the postal service. An 1893 book by Cushing Marshall has this description: "The terrier 'Owney' travels from one end of the country to the other in the postal cars, tagged through, petted, talked to, looked out for, as a brother, almost. But sometimes, no matter what the attention, he suddenly departs for the south, the east, or the west, and is not seen again for months." Albany postal workers worried when Owney disappeared for months. They had a special collar made with the address of the Albany Post Office, just so he could be identified. At the various post offices he visited, Owney got a new tag clipped to his collar until finally he jingled loudly with every step. He is still honored at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington, DC, where 397 of his medals and tags are on display, along with his preserved body. Health Corner A bumper crop of acorns means good times for mice and that means lots of food for ticks. According to Richard S. Ostfeld, a Cary Institute scientist, there was a bumper crop of acorns in 2015. Lots of ticks therefore survived on mice and reproduced. Since ticks have a two-year life cycle, the number of nymph-stage ticks should be huge this spring. In areas with lots of snow cover this winter, the tick population might be mitigated, but in areas with a mild winter, the tick population should be big. Naturally, where there are ticks, there is Lyme disease. That's going to be big, too. Of course not every tick bite transmits Lyme or any other disease but more ticks carry pathogens today than in the past. Connecticut, whose Agricultural Experiment Station collects and studies ticks, found in May that 38 percent of collected ticks tested positive for Lyme disease, according to the Wall Street Journal. That is up from 27 percent in the last five years. The deer tick can actually transmit up to seven pathogens that cause diseases in humans, one of which is Lyme disease. Connecticut also found that 10 percent of ticks tested positive for a pathogen that causes Babesiosis, a disease similar to malaria. About 5 percent tested positive for Anaplasmosis, a serious disease that causes anemia and an increase in the heart rate. In 2009, talk show host David Letterman revealed he got the disease from an infected tick while camping with his son. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are more than 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease every year, about three times the number 20 years ago. If you spot a tick quickly, chances are you will not be infected. Ticks latch on for three to five days but a tick that bites for only a few hours probably won't transmit an infection, according to the CDC.
