6A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL September 16, 2015 Turning 65 and confused about Medicare choices? Russian dog thinks fl ying “is for the birds!” “Our fi rst child, our Dachs- hund, Yosya, was born eight years ago in Russia, and then immigrated here with us,” said Olga. “As the crow fl ies it is a 4,602 mile journey, but by air- plane it includes a four hour fl ight to South Korea, a seven hour layover, and then an 11- hour fl ight across the Atlantic — an emotionally and physi- cally exhausting trip! Our dog’s name, Yosya, is one that my husband, Alex, and I as- sociate with highly intelligent people, and it positively fi ts her personality. She understands Russian but is now learning some English words. Yosya was four years old when our fi rst human child, Po- lina, was born. Little Polina’s birth was ‘a bit of a shock’ to Yosya, as she realized she’d just lost her fi rst place standing in our family. But she quickly got over it because she loves Po- lina. Polina is absolutely in love with her older four-legged sister, Yosya. They spend hours play- ing together, talking and cud- dling. Polina is learning English and the words she learns she teaches to her eager pupil. Polina has only known life with her favorite dog by her side. She lives for her dog and doesn’t go anywhere without her. I can relate because as a child I had a dog that I deeply loved. Just like I was to my childhood dog, Polina is to Yosya. She is so devoted that even when Polina goes to the community swim- ming pool, she assumes that her dog should come too. Our family invented a pre- tend game of ‘Dog Family’. We laugh while playing it and Yo- sya loves it too! She barks and jumps around us as we all bark and move like dogs. It is one of her favorite games! Her other favorite game is ten- nis. Well, not exactly, but still, she responds like a champion tennis player that never misses a ball tossed her way. And here is the endearing part. When we toss a ball, Polina competes with Yosya to see who gets it fi rst - and our sweet dog lets our daughter claim the prized ball. Yosya has the most curious habit for a long dog with short legs! She can sit up and rest on Call Paul to help simplify the complicated. Keeping cats off of FUR- niture is easy! Put aluminum foil on the fur-niture because cats don’t like the crinkly noise when they walk on it. Cats purr-fur being up high. Build or buy a scratching tree for them to stretch their spines and climb to build their mus- cles...and perch up high. Given a choice, cats would rather be observing you from their tower than the back of your chair. Install wall shelves at various heights for cats to climb and rest on. This way they are not under- foot, not on your fur-niture, and up high, which is natural to their nature. A cat’s heart beats 110-140 beats per minute — twice as fast as yours! Photo by Mary Ellen “Angel Scribe” Olga and her ‘daughters’ vie for room on her lap! Her little girl, four-year old, Polina, was fi rst on her lap, then her dog, Yosya, nosed her way in between them right where she thinks she belongs! Yosya loves car rides, but she’s not a fan of the marathon trip from Russia! her two hind legs. She looks like a meercat or a prairie dog as she quietly poses in that po- sition. The only thing missing is the prairie or African desert scenery. It is amazing how she can balance, with her odd body structure, and sit like that for any length of time. Being our fi rst child, Yosya has always slept in our bed. Now that Polina is here, we often can’t come to agreement whose turn it is to sleep with the dog - everyone loves and wants her. The dog eventually decides, by starting in one bed and end- ing in the other bed, sharing her sweet spirit with each of us. My hope, in including our daughter on our daily walks with her dog, is that it teaches her about the responsibilities of having a dog companion, and the invaluable lessons of kind- ness and compassion for all liv- ing beings. So far it seems to be working! Polina thinks that Yosya is just like her not more or less than a human — and doesn’t see much of a difference between us and our dog.” TIPS Pet dishes slip-sliding across the fl oor?
