THEFT: Several
incidents have
occurred in area
Continued from page 1
Wilt Road near the intersec-
tion of Camp Polk Road.
Deputies responded to the
crash and found that the vehi-
cle involved was the one that
had been reported stolen. The
driver of the stolen vehicle
reportedly failed to negotiate
a curve in the road and struck
a tree. The driver fled on foot
before deputies arrived on
scene.
Deputies searched nearby
properties and located the
driver, and he was arrested
without incident. Miguel
Angel Molina Pacheco of
Prineville was treated by
Sisters fire medics for minor
injuries sustained in the
crash and then transported to
St. Charles Medical Center
in Bend for further treat-
ment. The driver was then
lodged at the Deschutes
County Adult Jail for
Unauthorized Use of a Motor
Vehicle, Reckless Driving
and DUII.
There has been a num-
ber of break-ins to vehicles
in the same neighborhood in
recent weeks — a reminder
that even in Sisters there are
opportunistic predators and it
is advisable to keep vehicles
and homes secured.

Spend this
Valentine’s Day
with your pooch
Love is in the air as
Valentine’s Day draws near.
Restaurants are gearing up
for a packed house, flower
companies are preparing for
the busiest day of the year,
and folks everywhere are
pulling out all the stops to
plan the perfect night for their
Valentine.
For some it’s a joyous day
to celebrate the love between
two people. But for others,
it is a sad or mournful day,
spent wishing for what they
once had or for what they
have not yet found. It can be
downright depressing.
With Valentine’s Day
around the corner, why not
spend the day with man’s
best friend? Sometimes a
special pooch is all you need!
So what if your Valentine
has four legs and a furry
coat? You won’t be the only
one who will be celebrating
Valentine’s Day with their pet.
For those of you with pets,
Valentine’s Day offers the
ideal opportunity to honor a
love unlike any other. Think
about the relationship you
have with your furry friend;
often it is one of the greatest
examples of unconditional
love.
Pets spend each and every
day loving us unconditionally
in a way that only they can do.
It seems showing them appre-
ciation in return is only fair.
Valentine’s Day with your
pooch means no pressure at
all. Your furry friend’s only
request might be that you
spend quality time with him.
Think of it this way: Dogs
don’t need flowers. They
won’t be waiting for you to
show up with a dozen roses
on February 14; they will be
wagging their tails and cover-
ing you in kisses, just because
you showed up!
Your dog’s expectations
on Valentine’s Day are the
same as any other day of the
year — he wants you to feed
him dinner, play with him,
walk him, and cuddle him.
Make it just a little bit
more special this Valentine’s
Day and bring Rover home a
healthy doggie treat. Bones
and balls are much more
ay

affordable than diamonds and
watches. Chocolate is poison-
ous to pets, so you don’t have
to be pressured about buying
an expensive heart-shaped
box of chocolates.
And choosing your pooch
for a date this Valentine’s
Day means you don’t have to
dress up. Forget the suit and
tie or fancy black dress —
your furry friend loves you
no matter what you wear.
Your furry friend is an easy
date to please in the kitchen.
Not everyone has the culinary
skills to wow a human date,
but it’s guaranteed your dog
will love you even if the can
opener is the only kitchen
tool you’ve mastered.
For many, the big question
on Valentine’s Day is: Will I
be spending the night alone?
Your furry friend is devoted
to you and would love to
spend the night with you!
Bottom line: Research has
shown that spending time
with your pet has benefits.
Quality time with your pooch
can relieve stress and anxiety
as well as lower blood pres-
sure, which are great reasons
to spend Valentine’s Day with
your furry friend!
