Pohe, well dressed men of the laboring class, and ap- parently acquaintances, met Saturday morning on Walnut street near the Southern Pacific depot. Pohe asked Leng for the "makin's," the former be- ing temporarily out of to- bacco. Leng refused, an alter- cation ensued and a fight resulted, in which Leng drew a knife, inflicted an ugly gash over Pohe's right eye and cut various holes in his coat in vari- ous places. Both men claimed the other started the fight. Leng said Pohe hit him and he drew the knife in self defense. Pohe says Leng drew the knife and hit him; that if he had hit first Leng would never have had time to draw a knife. Both men are of for- eign extraction and speak English with a decided ac- cent. They were jailed on a charge of fighting and disturbing the peace and will be held while an in- vestigation is made of the case, with a view to deter- mining whether of nor a more serious charge shall be placed against them. —March12,1916 100 YEARS AGO...

In it, the au- thor dis- cusses what it is like to live with an adopted shel- ter dog, who is and has been a chal- lenge since he became a part of her family. On a per- sonal level, my husband and I also adopted a dog who has challenged us on many occasions and, as she gets older, caring for her has taxed our patience levels at times. However, like the au- thor, I love her "to the moon and back". A common mantra among those of us who strive to improve the lives of homeless animals is "saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one an- imal". What we fail to add is that it also changes our world. In more ways than we could express, it is for the better. However, as with many of life's occurrences, there are times we wish things were different. Are all shelter dogs dif- ficult? The short answer is a resounding, "No!" Adopt- ing an animal from a shel- ter is no different than be- ginning any new relation- ship. There is always risk involved and you never truly know how everything will eventually turn out. Unfortunately, for the an- imals that end up at the shelter, it is often because their guardians' expec- tations and the reality of the situation do not agree. The reasons they become wards of the county are as innumerable as the types, sizes, and colors of the ani- mals, themselves. The shel- ter is filled with dogs that have relatively minor be- havioral issues, most of which could have been pre- vented through a bit of forethought, some training and patience. Other expla- nations often given for sur- rendering to a shelter are, "We do not have enough time", " It's too expensive", "We are moving, having a baby, changing jobs, etc.", all of which are human foi- bles and not the animals'. Regardless of the rea- son, understand, when you adopt, that many of these animals have been through hell. In addition, they have had their previ- ous world, whether good or bad, turned upside down. They are scared, confused, and stressed. They will not immediately comprehend that the new home you are bringing them into is their salvation. For some, a few days or weeks may be all the adjustment time they need. For others you may, throughout the rest of their lives, deal with a result from earlier history. Our past plays a significant role in the way we think and feel. Why, then, would we even consider that an ani- mal's past has no bearing on the way it responds to various current situations. For example, one of the most common complaints of guardians is that their dog becomes unruly or de- structive when separated from them. A behavioral condition called "separation anxiety" is one where the animal is so distressed by being left alone that he will destroy the house, barks in- cessantly, or urinates or def- ecates inappropriately. Both my husband and I know this behavior well. Even af- ter being in a safe, loving home for almost five years, with a regular schedule, plenty of training, coun- ter-conditioning and every other suggestion offered, as soon as we begin to think about leaving, Noel, goes ballistic (for lack of a better word). Apparently, some- thing in her past trauma- tized her to the point that she may never get over the fear of us being gone. At times, her conduct is mildly frustrating, at other times it takes every bit of self-con- trol not to get angry at her behaviors. Would I ever give her up because of the bag- gage she brought with her? It isn't even a consideration for she is, as I call her, "my princess". Every animal I have ad- opted, or have come in con- tact with at the shelter, has been extraordinary in its own unique way. They give unconditional love when there is no reason for them to do so. They show us how to live with gentleness and joy in the midst of adver- sity. They teach us about how precious all life is. So, do not be put off about adopting a shelter pet. Any relationship takes work and, just like any other re- lationship, adopting a shel- ter dog requires caring and commitment. If you are pa- tient, the rewards of shar- ing your life with one of these wonderful compan- ions far outweighs, in my opinion, any initial chal- lenges faced. Next week, for future adopters, some tips to help in transitioning your ad- opted dog to its new loving forever home. Ronnie Casey is vice president of PETS — Providing Essentials for Tehama Shelter.
