Schneider. By Estelle Atwell 658-5906 Not long after a pair of Weimaraners joined the household, i the owners found there were certain traits in the two that were not going to change with time, even with the best of care and lots of love. The animals were nervous and terrified of storms. Long before the skies darkened and the winds rose, and the heavens unleashed pfeals of thunder and flashes of lightning, they showed their apprehension of the coming storm. They watned to go to the basement or some other secluded hideaway in the home and alerted their owner. But storms occurred too when neither owner was home. Once the male chewed away part of the wood louvered door to a closet. And another time when he took refuge in a closet he chewed off all the straps from a pifcce of luggage. After discussing the problem with the vet who advised administering tranquillizers to keep them calm, they used this method when weather forecasts were ominous. But the best remedy was the presence of the owners, and with a loving hand stroking them, their tensions lessened. Fortunately for these pets, their owners were com passionate and understanding people. They recognized the fear and foreboding the animals felt and tried t alleviate it as much as possible. A call to the carpenter could remedy the physical damage done but their solicitude was for their dogs, and they bore the expense and inconvenience as part of their responsibility as pet owners. The yearning to be un derstood is part of an animal's nature. Harsh words ac complish nothing. But the desire to understand and help is solace to a frightened animal. That's what Helping Paws is about. They try to place the animals in their care in a good home. The Helping Paws office, phone 459-2641, is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 10 to noon, and from 1 to 3.
