OPPORTUNITY CASA volunteer training scheduled To celebrate the birth- day of Mabel Keefe yes- terday ten young girls and three young women walked from Los Moli- nos to the Antelope creek bridge, a distance of seven miles. On the way, four miles out they stopped in the woods and built a fire over which they cooked and consumed a liberal supply of bacon. It had been the original inten- tion to walk only as far as the woods, but the effect of eating the bacon cooked over a camp fire was so intoxicating that they ex- tended their tramp nearly three miles further. When Antelope creek was reached it was nearly sun down and the pedes- trian party discovered they were tired. They sent an S. O. S. to Los Molinos and P. G. Simson went to their rescue in a Ford car. Just where he stowed all the girls away is something of a mystery, but at any rate he reached Los Molinos with all of them aboard, having plowed through muddy roads with his re- cord load. — Feb. 28, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

Police logs We talk about being a "responsible pet owner." Even though there is not a definitive ex- planation of what it means, we are certain of one thing. When we have a pet, we have as- sumed total responsibility for its care. Personally, I feel that caring for a pet is not un- like nurturing a small child. I am the guardian of its well-being, entrusted to care for all its needs whether physical or emo- tional. It is a responsibil- ity one should never under- take impulsively, and with- out due consideration of the many factors involved in having a pet. Not being prepared can, ultimately, be disastrous for the ani- mal. By answering a few questions before obtain- ing any pet, a great deal of angst and heartache can be avoided. Do I know what kind of pet is right for me? By be- ing honest with regard to the lifestyle both you and your family have, it will help determine the type, breed, size, etc. of an ani- mal that will fit perfectly in it. Review your current liv- ing conditions and deter- mine if the animal is ap- propriate in size and en- ergy. If you rent, many landlords will not allow pets. Be sure to check out any restrictions before adopting. If you have, or are expecting, a baby con- sider whether or not you will have enough time available to attend to all the pet's needs, too. If there is already a pet present, de- termine if it will share its home with another animal. Am I ready to make a long-term commitment? Depending on the animal desired, a 10 to 20 year commitment may not be an unusual length of time required to care for it. If circumstances change, such as moving, consider if you will still be able to care for your pet. Can I afford to care for my pet? Caring for a dog, depending on its size, is estimated to cost about $340 to $635 per year for food, toys, vaccinations, and an annual visit to the vet. Cats and small mam- mals are estimated to cost less. If the animal gets sick or injured, has special di- etary needs or takes med- ication those costs can in- crease drastically. In addi- tion, while pet insurance assists with unforeseen medical issues and emer- gencies, it adds to the yearly costs. Long-haired, difficult to groom animals may require frequent trips to a grooming facility. Will I be able to spend quality time with my pet? Dogs thrive on exercise and companionship. Cats are healthiest and happi- est when treated to play sessions with their human guardians. Both, when con- stantly unattended, can de- velop behavioral problems. If work demands frequent travel, or if on most days and evenings you are not home due to other commit- ments, consider a pet that requires little human inter- action. Am I willing to train my pet? One of the most common reasons that peo- ple return pets to shel- ters is that they are expe- riencing behavior diffi- culties. Training not only strengthens the bond be- tween pet and guardian, but also helps avoid many of those behavior problems. Learning basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come" can potentially save a dog's life. There is an abundance of materials available to read with regard to train- ing both cats and dogs. In addition, shelters, veteri- nary offices, and rescues usually have a list of train- ers who can assist in the process. Having a pet re- quires time and commit- ment to teach it to become an enjoyable member of the family and community. Am I willing to pro- vide for my pets safety? Whether it is keeping a pet away from toxic foods, plants and substances, or ensuring that outside spaces are secure, you need to be certain that the home environment is safe for the animal. It is also impera- tive for the pet's safety that they have some form of identification such as a col- lar and tags, tattoo or mi- crochip, to assist in iden- tifying them in case they become lost or stolen. In inclement weather, ade- quate protection from the elements guarantees no harm comes to the animal. Regular vet visits and vac- cinations safeguard a pet against disease and illness. Your pet is not a posses- sion, but a living, breath- ing entity. By obtaining a pet, you have tacitly agreed to provide adequate nutri- tion, mental and physical exercise, medical care, shel- ter, and companionship, to ensure its safety and well- being. If you are prepared to become a "Responsible Pet Owner," then the life shared with your pet will be a richly rewarding one for everyone.
