There IS an alternative...
SIERRA ANTIFREEZE-COOLANT (available at
Napa and Kincaids in Fairfield).
How hazardous is ordinary antifreeze? Two
ounces of ethylene glycol antifreeze can kill a dog, one teaspoon can be
lethal to a cat, and two tablespoons can be hazardous to children. Because of
its propylene glycol formulation, SIERRA Antifreeze is less toxic and safer
than ethylene glycol coolants to children, pets, and wildlife in case of
spills, leaks, boilovers, or careless disposal. To learn more visit

A dog is a true friend, and one you can be certain will never talk about
you, no matter what you do.

As Good as
Your Dog
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
|
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your
troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for
it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to
give you any time,
If you can overlook it
when those you love take it out on you when no fault
of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never
correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor
friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor, If you can sleep without
the aid of drugs,
It you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no
prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics,
Then, my friend you are almost as good as your dog.

washing them!
Mix wet ingredients, add to dry. Knead 2 minutes. Let rest 10
minutes. Roll out on cookie sheet and cut in small squares. Bake 45
minutes at 350 degrees; shut off oven and leave overnight

Tips:
- TRY A BABY WADING SWIMMING POOL to keep
your pet cool in the summer when it is outside for brief periods of time - it is
also FUN for the pet!
- TO KEEP SNOW from sticking to your pets
feet, try spraying a little cooking spray on your pets feet before they go
outside.
- NEVER KEEP YOUR DOG IN A VEHICLE WITH THE
WINDOWS ROLLED UP... your dog can die in minutes from heat! In fact, if it is
too hot outside, leave your pet at home in the air conditioning.
- NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET UNATTENDED...
terrible things can happen!

The Life and Death of an Untrained Dog
Courtesy of and Copyright © 1994, Robert J.
Hoffman
Humane Society of Ventura County, California
I woke up one
morning with my littermates. I saw Mom lying there so I went over to get some
breakfast. Mom was warm and she licked me all over. She loved us so much.
Things were good back then. Now I am bigger and live in a home with two kids
and their mom and dad. I used to be able to come in the house and play. They
even let me sleep in the house. The children would run and I would chase
them around. When I was little they would let me jump on them and even
playfully bite them. The family would laugh and encourage me to play like
this. They gave me lots of toys such as socks, shoes and stuffed animals. I
had so much fun. Those were the days. As I got bigger, I would accidentally
knock the children down. I would try to bite them on the cuff of their pants
as they ran. I found toys like the ones my master gave me when I was younger,
and I would chew them up.
They started getting
mad at me all the time. When I jumped up they would knee me down. One minute
they were laughing at me for play biting and chewing and the next minute they
would spank me for doing the very same thing. I am so confused!
Now I spend my
days, hour after hour, chained in the back yard. No one comes out to play with
me. I am so happy to see them when they come out that I jump and bark with
joy. I spend my days digging up the yard around me, which makes my masters mad
at me. The fleas crawl all over me, which drives me crazy. I get so mad that I
want to bite someone. The more I sit out here the madder I get. I cannot
understand why they brought me home just to chain me in the yard. If my
masters are unhappy with my behavior, why not train me? Why did they encourage
me to jump and bite?
Things have not
gotten any better for me. Now I sit in jail. People come by my cage looking at
me. I do not trust them so I bark and bare my teeth. No one wants me. Oh, no!
Here comes a lady with a leash. Where is she taking me? She walks me into a
room. Oh she likes me. It's so good to be hugged again. She puts a thing
around my mouth so I cannot bite. What's this? She is sticking me in
the leg. Oh, I am so sleepy. What has happened to me? I am asleep now.
NO ONE CAN
HURT ME ANYMORE.
