TEXAS PERIMETER HIKE

By SMATT
“We envision a world
where everyone can explore
and create meaningful con-
nections with the people
and places [they] encounter.”
– Couchsurfing.org Vision
Statement
When I reached the Tex-
arkana city limits, the first
thing I did was place a phone
call to a complete stranger.
His name was Michael, and
he had agreed, sight unseen,
to host me for the evening.
Only a few weeks prior, I
had heard a mountain lion
scream just a dozen yards
from where I was camping,
so an evening with a fellow
human sounded like an ab-
solute vacation.
Both Michael and the
mountain lion bring to mind
probably the second most
frequently asked question
I’ve received while hik-
ing the perimeter of Texas:
“Where do you sleep?” A
glance at my backpack with
its attached sleeping bag
is usually answer enough.
Along the way, however, I

jump the fence to get into our

have been described as “un-

plants that are so described
haven’t proven to be so. Only
salvias and rosemary seem
untouched. Comments?
Most roses have enough
thorns that deer aren’t real-

why the deer relished it.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE CLAYTON’S CORNER

By GARY CLAYTON
Wise Co. Extension Agent
Some decisions are easier than
others where your beef cattle op-
eration is concerned. The decision
to creep feed or not creep feed is
not an easy one for most produc-
ers. Like most aspects of the beef
business it’s a complex decision
that should be analyzed each year
since there are a lot of variables
involved. Each producer should
weigh their variables when making the de-
cision if creep feeding is financially feasible
for them.
Creep feeding simply put is a
way to supplement forage and milk
for unweaned calves with a feed
source not available to the mother.
Creeping is usually done in free
choice feeders with feeds in the
10-15 percent range. A 14 percent
protein pellet is the most popular.
Nutritionists say forage quality is
CLAYTON the dominant factor in selecting
the protein level needed for creep-
ing a set of calves. Therefore, if you

A tragic, yet not uncom-
mon occurrence among pet
owners is that of animal
abuse. It is hard for many of
us to believe how someone
could inflict harm on such
loving and devoted crea-
tures, but it happens. More
often than not, it is the stray
and wandering dogs that
have been abused. We must
be aware of how to take the
right precautions when wel-
coming a pet into the family,
who may have been abused.
You want to make sure the
animal knows it is now in a
safe and loving home where
it will be cared for properly.

While treatment of these underlying problems can bring relief from
uncomfortable and fatigue-inducing bleeding, heavy periods with

hormonal drugs, which preserve a woman’s childbearing ability, and

treatment option for women who no longer wish to bear children.

Continued from page 9
fractures, repetitive lesions
or injuries, internal injuries,
gunshot wounds, drugs, poi-
sons and drowning are also
evidence of abuse. Environ-
mental concerns such as the
large numbers of animals,
overcrowding with dead
animals present and human
welfare issues with the own-
er not able to afford to feed a
pet, fighting the animal, or a
ritualistic sacrifice are other
conditions that an animal
may be a victim of abuse.”
Oftentimes, if an animal
is shy, it is difficult to tell
whether or not they have
been abused in the past. Is
it shyness, or fear caused by
the abuse?
“Most of the times it is
fear triggered from the orig-
inal abuse” said Crist. “Cor-
recting this behavior is not
always easy but rehabilita-
tion can occur. Patience and
time with the pet will take
pressure off the pet and help
speed the healing process.
With a severe fear that was
caused by abuse and causes
the dog to become injurious
to themselves, a veterinary
behavior specialist is rec-
ommended. This specialist
can prescribe some behavior
modification medication to
deal with the fear if needed.
If this fear causes the dog to
react aggressively toward
people, then a behaviorist
will be able to address this
issue as well.”

PET TALK
If you have adopted a
stray who you believe might
have been a victim of abuse,
there are several things you
can do to ensure whether or
not abuse has occurred.
“Have your veterinarian
perform a thorough exami-
nation on the pet. Interest-
ingly enough not all pets
who behave as they have
been abused were abused”
said Crist. “Sometimes the
public tends to associate a
withdrawal behavior to sud-
den movement as an abused
animal and this may not be
the case. Veterinarians have
to be sensitive to the pos-
sibility that the abused pet
could be the victim of own-
er-induced abuse or neglect.
We have to regard these con-
cerns for the welfare of the
patient but as well as other
animals in the household.
Veterinarians also have to
be sensitive to the issue that
the client might be a victim
of an abusive relationship
and that providing veteri-
nary and foster care for the
pet may provide an escape
from the abusive relation-
ship.”
The veterinarian will doc-
ument all findings on the
thorough physical examina-
tion.
“The pet’s mental status
and initial behavior are
evaluated and monitored”
said Crist. “Most often ani-
mals that are depressed ini-
tially often exhibit behavior
changes as their physical

Worship and Prayer Service

The longest night of the year, the Winter Solstice,

falls on or about December 21st, and is also the
traditional feast day of St. Thomas, the Apostle. Just
as Thomas struggled with darkness and grief at the death of Jesus, and
had a hard time believing He had risen, so we struggle with grief and
mourn the loss of loved ones, we try to cope with disease, joblessness, and
uncertainties. The time around Christmas and the New Year can be espe-
cially painful. To help those struggling with these and other of life’s pains,
we will be having a special “Blue Christmas” or “Longest Night” service. If
