What's Your

Story?Paloma Lake is Looking for Article Submissions

As Spring draws near and warmer weather approaches, everyone is anxious to get outside, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy their community parks, trails and lake. Understandably, we like for our furry, four-legged family members to join us.

However, please remember that household pets should be restrained from entering a neighbor’s property and should be controlled on a leash when entering any street, sidewalk or common area. Not only is this a courtesy to your neighbors and make for a safer community, but it is a General Restriction of the Paloma Lake Master Covenant. Article 2.06 states, “No animal will be allowed to make an unreasonable amount of noise, or to become a nuisance, and no domestic pets will be allowed within the Development Area other than on the Lot of its Owner unless confined to a leash.” Please refer to the Community documents online to view the rest of the regulations pertaining to pets. (http://www.southwestmanagement.net/palomalake under the Documents tab.)

There have been numerous reports of dogs being off-leash on community trails, including an incident on January 1 in which a Paloma Lake resident and his dog were both injured during an encounter with another dog. The aggressor dog was reportedly also on a walk with its owner, but was off leash.

If you witness an off-leash pet and have a property address for the owner, please submit to [email protected] or [email protected] and a violation notice will be sent. You may also contact the Williamson County Animal Control at 512-864-8282.

Many people view cats as “background pets” who come out to snuggle or play occasionally. While cats may not require as much immediate attention as some other pets, they do require their owners' time and energy. To help ensure you're attending to your cat’s health, safety and lifestyle needs, follow these tips:

• Spay or neuter your cat. Discuss with your veterinarian the best age for your cat to have this procedure done. This eliminates cat’s crying, howling, and frantic efforts to mate. Also, this makes cats more sociable and affectionate.

• Take care when outside. If your cat goes outdoors, speak with your veterinarian about how to help protect her from pests like fleas and ticks. Outfit her with a collar that includes identification should she get lost, most veterinarians recommend break away collars.

• Don’t allow your cat to become a threat or nuisance. Veterinarians recommend keeping cats indoors because they live longer, healthier lives. This is due to the dangers cats face outdoors such as traffic, unfriendly animals, poisons, diseases, frostbite, dehydration and abuse from humans. Keeping tabs on your cat eliminates annoying cat behaviors (e.g. digging, meowing, mating, or spraying) that often cause disputes with neighbors.

Keep your Community Documents in mind. In consideration of our residents and pets, please make sure that you are familiar with the community restrictions pertaining to pets. Article 2.06 of Paloma Lake Master Declaration does state the following:

*No animal shall be allowed to make unreasonable amount of noise * All pets must be on leash when not on their owners’ lot* No pets shall be allowed to run at large and roam free on

common areaEnjoy! Being a responsible cat owner means you get to appreciate

all the joy your feline companion brings you every day. And the feeling will be mutual.

Oak Wilt, a systemic fungal disease, is the most destructive disease affecting live oaks and red oaks in Central Texas. The fungus causes the water conducting vessels of oaks to become clogged, reducing the flow of water up the tree. While all oak species are technically susceptible, live oaks and those in the red oak group are the most vulnerable, while those in the white oak group (such as bur, post, chinquapin, or monterrey) are more resistant. In Central Texas, the disease has been most devastating for live oaks because of their tendency to grow large interconnected root systems. Once infected, live oaks generally die in three months to a year.

The nitidulid beetle often spreads the oak wilt disease. According to the Texas Forest Service, in early spring (considered February 1 through June 30) the beetles that spread the disease become active, and exposed cuts are vulnerable. Pruning should be delayed until midsummer (after January 31st and before June 30th) when the insects are less active.

Oak wilt presents differently in different species. In live oaks, the leaves usually develop yellowed veins that eventually turn brown, a process called veinal necrosis. Many homeowners first notice oak wilt symptoms when the leaf veins are necrotic, but the spaces between veins are still green. In many cases, symptoms also include tip burn, scorching of the leaf margins,

and interveinal chlorosis. In red oaks, the foliar symptoms of oak wilt are less predictable, but generally involve the browning or yellowing of leaves from the outer margins progressing inward.

Trimming trees, especially oaks, should be avoided from the

beginning of February through the end of June!
