A dog loves you 1.1 ore
Sooner or later, I had to get around to the
topic of dog ownership.
I am a dog owner, a title of responsibility
that is approached in various degrees by
different individuals. My problem is that 1
tend to treat animals as human entities,
and try to raise them accordingly. But this
problem is not one that I'd willingly solve,
if it meant giving up the loving response
tharslines-froirriny-terriees-eyes:-Tru y,
dog is the only thing on earth that loves you
more than it loves itself.
Eavesdrop with me on a rerun of a recent
telephone conversation.
"We won't see you today. We're off to
get a new dog."
"Oh (pause), what happened to your old
one?"
"Nothing. He's still here, but we've
advertised him in a couple of places. You
wouldn't know of anyone who'd like a nice
pet, would you?"
"But what's the matter with him? You
just got him a few months ago."
"Oh, I know - but he won't stay at home
nights. He's always off running with other
dogs. Why, last week, he was clear down to
the end of the next concession with a whole
group of them. I had an awfulaime tracking
him down. He just won't stay at home."
"Well, why don't you tie him up?"
"You can't really mean that. He's a farm
dog, and he should know enough to stay
around. Besides it's cruel to have a dog
tied up, and when we try, he just sits there
and cries to get into the house."
"Well, why don't you let him in?"
Potpourri
by Jeanne Kirkby
we can't that. He isn't house-
broken. C be trusted, you know."
I'M ON THE DOG'S SIDE
Call me a bleeding heart if you will, but I
--tond-teeeme-out-on-the-does-side. 1 mean -;----
from the animal's point of a view if you
can't be allowed into a warm house once in
a while, .why not take off? And if no one
cares enough about your safety, or the
consequences of your behaviour, to know
where you are, (by rope or chain if
necessary) p what? Just like a bad kid,
you'll go out and raise hell when nature
beckons, and your friends are calling.
If people are going to have pets,
especially dogs, a,definite commi tment is
necessary to ensure that the animal has a
halfway decent life, and doesn't become a
public nuisance.
A dog is like a child, in that it responds
to the owner's moods and tone. Love and
attention, seasoned with discipline, are
essential for responsive and confident
growth. Cats are different - you can't hurt a
cat's feelings. or count on them to come
when called. But a dog needs time, talking
to, and training and if your lifestyle can't
be expanded to include this, you'd be wise
to consider a cat, or even goldfish instead.

the pet Columns of the larger e ape
Straggling strays wander into own, or are
furtively dumped beside frien ly looking
houses, to follow you home d camp on
your back doorstep, c g from cold,
hunger, and general tsery. No future for
them - once so cute as puppies - they have
committed the unpardonable sin of
growing up, and eating too _mush to be
sheltered for the winter.
FICKLE OWNERS
Is it any wonderthat our area is such a
fertile place for the spread of deadly
rabies? What protection does any animal
have against fickle owners, and discarded
• pets? Our county Health Unit does its part
by sponsoring and advertising free
anti -rabies clinics in the community. We
must do our part too, by making sure that
every pet is responsibly • cared for, by
controlling their behaviour in consideration
of others, and by making sure that they do
not produce unwanted offspring.
Second telephone conversation, some
time later:
"1 just thought that. you'd like to know;
we have the new pup home, and he's
settling in nicely. We have him wrapped in
a blanket by the stove, poor thing. The car
ride upset his stomach, but he's feeling
better now. He's a really cute little
fellow."
"Are you going to try to train him so that
he can sleep in the house? I've a whole
tack of newspaper here that you could
have."
A NICE DOG?
"Oh, we'll think about it, but he seems
awfully wann in the house. Almost as soon
as we brought him in, he started to pant.
He can stay in the kitchen tonight, but by
--tomorrow --1re'll—probably want -to be out
with the other one. By the way, you haven't
thought of anyone who'd like a nice dog,
have you?"
.'Why don't you use that old animal
crate, the one that you have in the shed?
You know, if you used it as a bed, you could
train him quite quickly, A pup won't soil
his sleeping quarters, and you could take
him out frequently." '
"Oh, we'll think about it. Right now,
we're getting ready to go out for the
evening."
"Well, you could take him out now, and
then let him nap in the crate until you come
back. That would be a good start."
"Maybe we'll try tomorrow. He'll be
okay here by the stove for tonight.
Porbably won't even wake up. Anyway, we
have to hurry!
I s there a pattern here? Why d.. I feel
like rushing out .and dognapping the little
animal to begin a regular training
program? But you can't do things like that;
feelings have to- be considered and all. I
guess 1 just keep thinking of animals as
human, and seeing their side of it.
