Once you have estab- lished the kind of dog and size that is best for your lifestyle (Breed Recom- mender — www.animal- planet.com/breed-selec- tor/dog-breeds.html — will help you match your life- style with the right breed and size), you need to de- cide where to get the puppy. From a shelter or reputable breeder? Take the time to research this thoroughly. The shelter of course presents the most affordable choice. Now it's time to set up a family meeting. Who will take the puppy to the papers or back yard and when? Who will be in charge of feedings 3-4 times a day? Who will make veterinary appointments for vaccina- tions and de-worming? A new puppy should not be left alone for quite a few weeks, so make sure you have proper coverage. Next create a vocab- ulary list everyone will use. If Mom says "down" when puppy climbs on the couch, Dad says "down" when he wants him to lie down and Junior utters "sit down" when he ex- pects the pup's rear to hit the floor, the result will be one confused puppy! Putting vocabulary list in writing helps everyone. Draft a shopping list and purchase supplies. You will need food and water bowls, chew toys, groom- ing supplies, bedding, col- lar and leash, identifica- tion tag, crate, gate and odor neutralizer. Pre- puppy shopping allows you to order from whole- sale catalogs or visit the pet superstore in the next county without the pres- sure of needing it right now. You'll need to puppy- proof the area where the youngster will spend most of his time the first few months. This may mean taping electrical cords to baseboards, storing house- hold chemicals on high shelves, removing plants, rugs and breakables, set- ting up the crate and in- stalling gates. Once you think you've completely puppy-proofed, lie on the floor and look around once more to get a puppy's eye view. When you pick up your puppy, remember to ask what and when he was fed. Replicate that sched- ule for at least the first few days to avoid gastric dis- tress. If you wish to switch to a different brand of food, do so over a period of about a week by add- ing 1 part new brand to 3 parts of the old for several days; then switch to equal parts, and then 1 part old to 3 parts new. Once home, take him to his toileting area immedi- ately. Don't let him think the new carpet is the place to go. Return him often to the same place to do his "business" and soon he'll make the proper associa- tion. Never fool yourself into believing there's such a thing as a "free puppy." The costs will be signif- icant, so make sure you have allowed for this in your household budget. Cut the costs by utiliz- ing the low-cost clinics many pet stores host. You may find inoculations and exams to be a fraction of what the vet charges. Or call the humane society or local shelter for referrals to low-cost clinics. Go to Friends of Animals (www. friendsofanimals.org) for discount certificates for spay and neutering. Doing things right from the start prevents confu- sion for the puppy, and the family. Get prepared and you'll be one step closer to having your family's dream dog. MaryHuntisthefounder of www.DebtProofLiving. com, a personal finance member website.

Woof woof Mary Hunt CHIP THOMPSON — DAILY NEWS Around 300plants were sold Saturday during the Sacramento River Discovery Center's fall plant sale. RED BLUFF Saturday was a busy day for the people associated with the Sac- ramento River Discovery Center. Starting at 7:30 a.m. some 300 native, drought tolerant and deer resistant plants were moved from within the garden and greenhouse to the center's parking lot. The Bird Watchers ar- rived around 8 a.m. to be led on their first Satur- day of the month guided bird walk led by Dr. David Dahnke. By 8:30 a.m. Native Springs and Floral Native Nursery had arrived and setting up their native plant offerings to complete the opportunity for local residents to do one stop plant and seed shopping. Shoppers were arriv- ing before 9 a.m. and cen- ter volunteers were ready to assist many supporters in finding plants appropri- ate for their garden needs. About 300 plants were sold or given away in four hours. Executive Director Bo- bie Hughes came up with the idea of giving a free plant or set of seeds to everyone who becomes a member for 2015 for $25. Those who purchased memberships before the Wild & Scenic Film Festi- val also received free tick- ets to the performance. By 3:30 p.m. all the plants not sold were re- turned their places in the garden. With the plant sale done, it was time for the arrival of volunteers around 4 p.m. to help set up for the Wild & Scenic Film Festi- val at the State Theatre. Abigail Dan of the Re- source Conservation Dis- trict brought this festival to Red Bluff. Working with the center, the event be- came a membership drive with proceeds benefiting the center. The doors opened at 5:30 p.m. and nearly 200 people watched eight films featuring the environment and the people who live in these wild and scenic places around the globe. Hughes thanked volun- teers from Red Bluff High School's Key Club, under the leadership of Fred Null Jr., for all their assistance throughout the day. Memberships in the center are still available and there is still the offer to come and select a free plant. The center is within the Mendocino National For- est's Red Bluff Recreation Area at 1000 Sale Lane. The center is open 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. or by appoint- ment, Tuesday through Saturday. You can con- tact the center at 530 527- 1196, email bhughe1@te- hamaed.org or visit www. srdc.tehama.k12.ca.us.
