Box 205 * Crystol Lakt, Illinois 60014 • (815) 459-2641 By Estoll* Atw.ll The way it was isn't the way it is now. People used to own a dog and devote time and money caring for him. It was a lifetime thing. Cats as pets were ac­ tually more secondary. But the tables have turned. Humane societies and other animal service agencies have noticed a new trend regarding pet ownership Instead of man's best friend holding down first place, there's ample indication that the cat has become Pet No. l choice There are reasons for it Changing times - a society no longer home-bound and very mobile. Prices and the economic situation have forced many women out of the home. Others like the idea of a career and no longer feel guilt at leaving the home arena for another But it was when someone was home during the day that a household could include and care for a dog. Then there's the relative simplicity of caring for a house­ trained cat The owner can be away from home without worrying about the cat being taken out or fed The litter box takes care of the waste problem. Food can be set out to last for a while because cats do not gulp it down all at once as does a uog. For best results someone should be home fulltime to train a dog But a cat is far easier to train The dog cannot and should not be left alone for long periods of time while the cat carries on under these circumstances Cats don't bark eliminating another problem -disturbing the neigh­ bors. Renters find landlords far more willing to accept a cat than a dog Travelling with a cat can be easier than with a dog Thus, the cat settles into first place but this is accompanied by some sad statistics con- Air condition your home with an ^lirtemp CENTRAL SYSTEM These units have excellent E E R ratings for economical operating cost Complete package to fit your furnace in eludes coil, condensor line set, relay and power wiring, com­ pletely installed TON B.T.U.

Although people still say they wish they could have a dog they refrain from the responsibility of ownership. Large dogs, dogs over two years of age (when a pet has to go it's usually the dog), and puppies that will grow to be large, are those who end up among the 25 million killed every year. The most vulnerable and numerous of the species destroyed is the Shepherd Lab. They account for almost one third of these statistics. Backyard breeders go right on allowing their animals to propagate when there are no homes for the offspring. They do everyone a disservice, particularly the unfortunate animals. They should either spay, neuter, or administer the mismatch shot to the female 24 hours after breeding to eliminate a litter destined to become a statistic. Of course, this new trend is lucky for the cats, but not all of them by any means. Statistics will always show too many being destroyed each year. They live to die prematurely. Fortunately the kittens we wrote about two weeks ago, will not add to the statistics we have just mentioned. All were bor n... pedigree Siamese, pedigree white Persian mixes, and placed into foster homes with nursing moms. We thank all of you who came to the rescue of these motherless newborns. Watch for the kittens in six weeks to be available for adoption Also watch for our booths at the Woodstock Tag day, bake sale coming up Aug. 12. We will be selling tasty and nutritious dog biscuits as well as people food. More bake sale goods needed.
