COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL February 3, 2016 7A Co ng r atu latio ns On Your Retirement ROGER BRASWELL ...and to your 50+ years of Service to Safeway and the Community The Japanese DASH- hound! M iku, 14-years-old, and her dog, Saku, were both born in Arizona, seven years apart, to different parents. Mi- ku’s parents are Japanese, and Saku’s are Dachshunds. Imagine Miku’s surprise when she re- ceived the two-month-old puppy as her Christmas present! For the special occa- sion, Saku was dressed in a bright red bow as she was ‘gifted’ to Miku. “I named her Sakura,” explains Miku, “because it is a pretty name and in Japanese it means ‘cherry blossom’. We nicknamed her Saku.” Saku is not a fragile fl ower! She is a wild and crazy athlete! When she is overcome with uncontrollable joy, she runs as fast as she can in huge circles around her family for long periods of time without displaying fatigue. “She reminds me of a horse racing at full speed,” laughs Miku. It sounds like Saku’s breed should be spelled DASH-hound! Usually, the Dachs- hund is a tenacious hunter known for chasing small animals, birds and balls with a stub- born and unyielding focus, which explains why off-leash in a park, Saku’s passionate about chasing any brave squirrel that dares make themselves visible. She relentlessly chases squirrel after squirrel. Luckily, she never catches the tail-twitching tree rodents, which is a relief to her family. . . and the squirrels! And when she races through tall grass, her family laughs as she leaps and jumps up and down, in the vegetation, for a better view, like a prancing deer or rabbit. Saku truly dislikes running water (streams, rivers and the ocean) or going near it. This makes living in the Pacifi c Northwest dif- fi cult with water, water everywhere! “Arizona is not this wet,” Saku would tell us! When Saku’s family walks over bridges, she digs her claws into the earth, putting all her doggy weight into her back-leg brakes. She refuses to move so they have to carry the reluctant “princess” over the moats. But, like any deep brown-eyed romantic lady, Saku, is always up for long walks on the beach — just not near the water. Dachsunds are known as clever dogs and Your employees wish you the best as you Drive off into the sunset! Clea n Bu Woo rn d Pelle ts Palletized Dry Peeler Core Firewood in Stock! When my mother cooks meat,” said Miku, “Saku sits under the table and licks my legs asking for a meat-treat, so I always sneak her some. I hope, one day, to have children and give them their favorite pet for Christmas. Saku is the best friend and memory I have!” WE DELIVER !

This explains Saku’s penchant for sleep- ing (burrowing) under her family’s beds, es- pecially when it is “rainy outside”. (“Yuck! Rain!” says Saku.) Her breed is so well known for burrowing that cozy ‘burrow beds’ are now available for them online. Being from Arizona, one of Saku’s favor- ite pastimes is “soaking up the sun until she starts panting,” said Miku. “My family and I walk more now than we did B.D. (Before Dog). Having parks nearby benefi t our dog’s health and ours. Walking Saku helps us exercise and she also creates more opportunities for making new friends. People easily spark up conversa- tions with us. Another benefi t is that my dog provides companionship and makes me laugh. Hav- ing Saku has given me a greater respect for living things. When I was small, I was afraid of dogs, but by caring for one, my fear disappeared. Saku has taught me to see through her eyes and how to care for oth- ers. Pet Cremation At Smith Lund Mills we believe that pets are an important member of any family. When a pet dies it can be very dii cult time for everybody involved. We understand the feelings of losing a pet and our professional, caring staf will be ready to assist you during this time of loss. “A big dog needs lots of room and be- cause our family lives in an apartment,” said Miku, “Saku is perfect for us. Our apart- ment’s fl oor is sleek, so to prevent Saku’s from slipping and hurting her long back, we covered the fl oor with a rug for her safety. It is an easy solution to purr-tect her from injury.” submitted by Steve and Karen Wong 2 cups whole wheat fl our 1 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth) 1 1/4 cups hot water - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. - Mix dry ingredients together. - Mix in the peanut butter and hot water - add more fl our if the dough is sticky. - Knead the dough well. - Roll out into 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes with dog cookie cutter.
