COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL November 18, 2015 7A “Jitters” ‘Jitters’ was a Tri-color female Border Collie rescued in Northern Arizona when she was six months old. Over the following 17 years she has been a wonderful companion for Steve and a great playmate for her adopted sister ‘Pepper’. Because Jitters was such a gentle dog, Steve, her guardian, did everything medically possible to assure her a long and happy life. She loved many people and was especially funny when she would bark at guests using the bathroom. She could not understand why they did not go outside like other dogs do. Jitters enjoyed camping and regarded squirrels, a cursed doggie irritant, with merely a curious stare and a wagging tail. As she aged it was apparent that she had a few mice in the attic but she never experienced any dementia. On Sunday afternoon, November 8th, 2015 Jitters passed away peacefully at home with her family. Steve would like to encourage people to make a little space in their hearts for a rescue animal. They will bring an embarrassment of riches through their love and devotion. November is “Adopt an older dog” month. MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT Ends December 7th Do you need to Review next years choice?

Similar to the paparazzi, I travel with a cam- era in search of a good pet article. Everyone has a story, but we often do not realize that others are living through the pain of grief. Following is a touching example of what a chance meeting exposed about Myrna and her Maltese Princesses lives. “My husband was hired to set up a com- puter system 700 miles north of our home,” said Myrna, “for a large llama ranch. When we walked into the llama barn, I stopped dead in my tracks by the sight of a hairless, one-year-old, one-pound Maltese puppy. I asked about the skinny pup and ‘they’ said ‘...it was not trainable, so she ended up in the barn.’ Were they crazy? It was 30 degrees be- low zero outside! And here she was hairless and malnourished existing on llama’s after- births! She smelled as if she was sleeping curled up to the llamas for warmth. “I paid $1200 for that dog!” said the rancher. “Do you want to buy her?” I was appalled! He treated her like gar- bage, and then wanted money for her! I said, “No” while tucking the shivering- thin creature into my jacket for the rest of that day. I fi gured one day of warmth and love was better than none. The next day, I drove home — alone. We had two Persian cats, bigger than the petite pup, and we did not think that they would get along with a canine. But’ the frigid weather and the sweet dog haunted my spirit. So, the next morning, I retraced the 700 miles back, paid the extortion fee and returned home with the shivering-weak dog on my lap. Our vet took one look at her and said, “I can’t promise she’ll last a week. Don’t let her walk because she is too weak.” So I fashioned a t-shirt around my waist and ‘wore’ that dog for 1-½ months. We bonded like glue and the only name that suited her was our little “Princess”. Princess apparently trained through te- lepathy. She just instinctively always knew what to do! When I fl ew to Europe, she went with me, and was the perfect pet. For 16 years, Princess was more angel than dog. Stay warm and comfortable all winter! SAGINAW VINEYARD LIVE MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY When she passed, I cannot begin to describe how deep the pain was. My girlfriend understood my grief, so one day she phoned and said, ‘This is an emer- gency! Call this number! They have Maltese puppies!’ My husband and I went to ‘just look’. He said, ‘You don’t have to take the fi rst dog you see.’ But when this nine-ounce puppy wiggled over to me, I knew that if I had to rob a bank to pay for her I would! Once I saw her, that was it; I would have sold my soul for that little doll-baby! The pup was so lively. She immediately began running our lives! She can’t speak, but she knows exactly what and when she wants something. Yes, this one too, is a Princess! Our fi rst one was graceful, grateful and ap- preciative. This one? She is demanding like a real princess and we would not have it any other way. She gives us joy during diffi cult times. My husband has dialysis, three days a week, and when he arrives home he is tired. Prin- cess always sleeps on his lap after his return. She literally went from abject poverty into the lap of luxury. When we go to bed, I lift up our covers and she crawls in. When she gets hot, she crawls out and sleeps on our pillows. But we confess, we are the spoiled ones!” Apparently, the dog door swings both ways! During this interview, Princess barked from their bedroom and Myrna had to leave to hand Princess her pink-squeaky- piggy toy. TIPS NO COVER CHARGE 6-9pm Fri, November 20....................Huckleberrys - country & bluegrass Fri, November 27......Perfect Flavor - 60s-90s covers and originals I believe in cooking for pets. They need real food, not something from a bag that is covered in colorful advertising that you would not put in your own mouth or that would make you hiss-terical if your child ate it. Princess loves her ABC veggies: aspara- gus, broccoli, carrots, caulifl ower, celery and apples. If I am hungry, and there is nothing to eat in the house, I know I can eat her food (I don’t) and nothing bad will hap- pen to me...or her. Ask your vet, a pet nutritionalist, or check the Internet for nutritional pet food informa- tion. No dog should be left home alone all day. Ask a neighbor to walk them or take them to a doggy ‘Bark Park’. Hopefully you can get home at lunch to take them outside for a walk.” “To clean stained fur around a pet’s eyes,” suggests Myrna, “use a drop of contact lens solution on a Q-tip. We only use harnesses on our dogs, never a collar! Our vet said that collars hurt a pet’s esophagus and they get “throat cancer” from pulling on a leash. Since every dog pulls on their leash, both large and small dogs should have harnesses, which are now made in all sizes. An added benefi t for small dogs wearing a harness is that you can quickly lift them up if a dangerous situation presents itself.

There are a lot of things that need to be addressed, and there’s so much time spent bickering in Washington — we need to work together.” Stewart, a Republican, said he’s proven in his time on the Lane County Board that, re- gardless of party affi liation, he can work to get things done. “All I can do is try,” he said. There will be a lot of ‘try- ing’ in Stewart’s future if he’s to rise to the top of what could be a crowded fi eld of Republican candidates in this spring’s pri- mary, a fi eld that reportedly al- ready includes Portland’s Mark Callahan and Dan Laschober of Wilsonville. And he acknowl- edged that Wyden, a 35-year veteran in Washington with a considerable campaign “war chest,” will be “very, very diffi - cult” for someone without a lot of statewide name recognition to best in the general election. “But as it stands now, I’m the only candidate who has de- clared that has served in elected offi ce,” he said. “I’ve done so many things for the state and federal government, working hand-in-hand, and I’m hoping people can trust that, that they can understand that Faye knows the issues — the water issues in Klamath Falls, issues with the sage grouse in Eastern Oregon. Portland is paying the most taxes in the state, taxes that are going to support people in ru- ral areas. But for Oregon to be its best, there can’t be winners and losers. Everybody needs to prosper, and right now a lot of people are struggling. There’s a real disconnect between politi- cians in Washington and what’s going on in the states they repre- sent, and I’m hoping I can show that I’m connected.” W orship D irectory 6th & Gibbs Church of Christ 195 N. 6th St. • 541-942-3822 Pastor: Aaron Earlywine Youth & Families Pastor: Seth Bailey Services: 9am and 10:30am Christian Education Nursery for pre-k - 3rd Grade www.6thandgibbs.com Calvary Baptist Church 77873 S 6th St • 541-942-4290 Pastor: Riley Hendricks Sunday School: 9:45am Worship: 11:00am The Journey: Sunday 5:00pm Praying Thru Life: Wednesday 6:00pm Cottage Grove Bible Church 1200 East Quincy Avenue 541-942-4771 Pastor:Bob Singer Worship 11am Sunday School:9:45am AWANA age 3-8th Grade, Wednesdays Sept-May, 6:30pm www.cgbible.org Cottage Grove Faith Center 33761 Row River Rd. • 541-942-4851 Lead Pastor: Isaac Hovet www.cg4.tv 2 Sunday Services: 9am & 11am Full Childrenʼs Ministry available Calvary Chapel Cottage Grove 1447 Hwy 99 (Village Plaza) 541-942-6842 Pastor: Jeff Smith Two Services on Sun: 9am & 10:45am Wednesday Service 6:45 pm Child Care 10:45am Service Only Youth Group Bible Study: Wed. 6:45 pm & Sat. 6 pm www.cgcalvary.org Covered Bridge Nazarene Church 152 S.
