McCullom Lake Mildred Watson 385-3585 You And Your Pet Harriet McNamara Enjoys Weekend With Family A great holiday weekend was what Mrs. Harriet McNamara told me she had. The first part of the holiday was spent in Des Plaines with her son, Tom, and family. Mt. Prospect was the next stop for a visit with son, Richard, and family. Sunday was the very best though, that was the day Harriet's great- grandson was baptized. The little one's name is John David McNamara, and is "Mac" ever proud. On Thursday she received pictures of her daughter in California. So as I've said it was indeed a wonderful holiday for her. May she have n\any, many more.

Buying a pet is something you should not do impulsively. A few minutes of careful thought before buying will save you many hours, even days, of trouble later on. A good place to start is your local public library. It's free and will have countless books to help you select the 'right pet' for your needs. Most of the books are written by authorities on pet care, in­ cluding leading veterinarians. These books will tell you most of the things you will need to Jtnow when you are choosing a family pet, They describe the different V kinds of pets and^\ breeds,, explain how they act as pets and Cne kind of care each one needs. Other books are available at your bookstore. In addition, there are several magazines which can be helpful and in­ teresting. Some magazines are devoted to one type of animal only, dogs or cats. Now, let's assume you've made up your mind. You want a pup. Wait ...don't rush down to the nearest pet shop or kennel and just buy the first dog that meets your fancy. This is the time to sit down, ask yourself some questions and think about the problem before making the final decision. My experience has been that the people who gave some thought to the selection of a pet before buying usually made the right choice. Since you have decided upon a dog, remember the animal will be around for a long time. The average life span of a dog is 12 years. During this time the dog becomes a member of the household, if not a part of the family. Here are a few other questions you might consider. Who will be the dog's owner -- yourself, a child or an older person? Will he be a com­ panion, a playmate for the youngsters, a hunting dog or a show dog? Does the prospective owner have thp time to dpyntp to the care and attention of the animal? Where will the dog live -- in an apartment, a city or suburban house or on a farm? Are there any other pets he will have to get along with? Here are a few more questions about the animal itself. What shall it be a small or large animal? A purebred or mixed breed9 Male or female? Long haired or short haired"? I am sure you will have other questions. After making the final decision go down to the kennel and look around. You don't have to buy the first time. I have known many breeders and kennel people who prefer the prospective owner not to buy, but to browse on the first visit. Ask questions, if you still have any unanswered. Reputable breeders are proud of their dogs and want no dissatisfied customers. \ Be sure the puppy you are choosing is in good physical condition. Reject an underfed pup or one whose eyes or nose are running. His teeth should be clean and white, his gums pink. Check his body - it should be solid and firm. Beware of the shy pup, regardless of how cute he may seem He could have per­ sonality problems. Most nor­ mal, o healthy pups are aggressive, bright-eyed, alert; full of bounce and vigor Always select a reputable breeder or kennel operator. v There are no discount dog dealers. Your veterinarian is often the best source of in­ formation about this Dr. Minor regrets that he is SECTION 1-PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-WEDNf SDAY, JAN. 5, 1972 Wind makes the different#. ^ ** Winter Winds Can Blow Holes A mere 20 miles per hour-- hardly uncommon in the winX ter months--hits us with the bone-chilling equivalent of 25 below zero, even though the mercury reads a modest ten. That's two and a half times as cold. ™ Should-the wind reach 40 mph, as it easily does during a January blizzard, the chill factor delivers an effective temperature of minus 37 de­ grees! Wind-driven chill places a heavy burden on home heat­ ing systems, greatly accelerat­ ing heat loss through the walls and roof of the house. Fuel consumption soars accord­ ingly as we jack up the ther­ mostat to maintain a sem­ blance of comfort.
