This legit saved my life as someone who does environmental fieldwork. One NY site I visited a few times was infested with ticks like the worst I’ve ever been to and permithrin allowed me to come home with not a single tick.. (not alive at least)

Right, because the ban was about more than just carbon footprint.

Here's a link for a website

Understand that it could be hard at first. Dogs aren't great at adjusting to sudden change. Have lots of patience with them while they adjust and adapt to their new surroundings and routine with you.

You might see some bad behaviors or the dog doing things you don't want it to do at first. This is normal while they deal with the stress and anxiety of the situation.

Go slowly with them, introduce new things gradually. The first time you bring them home give them time to explore outside, get used to some of the scents. A walk outside will also help reduce nervous energy.

When you get inside keep them on the leash at first and guide them through your home room by room. Let them smell everything.

Know that they are going to have accidents, accept that they will find ways into things you didn't expect. Try not to get mad at them, don't yell. Instead when they do something you don't like try reflecting their attention to stop the behavior.

It can take a few weeks for the dog to get comfortable and settle in and for their true personality to come out.

They did that to a few hospitals in Queens, NY. Turned them into luxury apartments.

I couldn’t get passed the thought of the laundry room being in the morgue or the bedroom being someone’s deathbed.

Jersey City- Some nice areas, some ok, some not great. Research.

Newark- Ironbound is ok I suppose

Irvington- no go zone during the day.

Still no

I was bit by a lone star 3 years ago and got Alpha Gal Syndrome, which is that red meat allergy.

1 tick bite and no beef, pork, cheese, venison, lamb, jello, marshmallows, I can juuust tolerate butter.

BE SUPER VIGILANT! DONT END UP LIKE ME!

It’s wild, that for all the government screws up, they somehow mastered a very specific brand of uneasiness when they built these state hospitals/sanitariums. There’s a building on Long Island that’s just a larger version of this one that was once the country’s most populated psych ward

Nice! Less (more like none!) motor oil going into the water as well👍👍👍

I had power on Center Grove and now I’m over on Ford road by Hibernia diner with power.

The area by the Union and Maplewood borders are ok and by ok i mean you are on the outskirts of the terrible areas. I would absolutely stay away from the Newark/East Orange border. That area is basically a warzone. If you have kids, the school system in Irvington (JC and Newark as well) are terrible. Houses are cheaper in Irvington when compared to JC and Newark but that is for a good reason.

Interesting, I’m in Randolph now with no power

Edit to add; I also live right on the boarder of Rockaway and Wharton and no power

No!

My father was in Lakehurst when the Hindenburg blew up. Born and raised in Camden and he took a ride with a few friends to see it.

Wait Morristown isn't in Union County? Or am I missing something in what you meant?

Power on here in Rockaway and Randolph.

Deal is just about the least quaint town on the entire 126 mile coast. Highest average income in NJ, mostly mansions.

In panther valley I also don't have power

Always harness over leash. A good harness they will not be able to wiggle out of as it goes behind the legs. If anything, a collar would slip off much easier. Especially in the future if you want to take the dog in the car, you'll need a harness and a safety tether that goes from the seat to the harness hookup point. A collar will break their neck if you get into an accident.

Dog parks are fine, and it's good for dog socialization. Just remove them if others get too rowdy.

I always thought ticks were much smaller than that (I was always told that they are around the size of a poppy seed).

I swear. People always cheer for instant gratification but never see the coming consequences.

Essex county isolation hospital. I know they were renovating it for adapted use, didn’t know it would be a movie set!

It is natural to want to show off your new dog to all your friends and family members right away, but it's best to give your dog a few weeks to settle in to their home routine before doing so. I volunteer with a rescue and so many times, people adopt dogs and immediately take them to their family members' house or a party or some place similar and completely overwhelm a dog who is already overwhelmed just by the nature of their circumstances.

I got off the GSP in Irvington by mistake once and I thought I was in “Judgement Night.”
