For those of us who have Tknown him for a long while and have seen a loving, loyal, playful side, we are baffled by his fearful reactiveness to strangers who try to touch or even get too close to him. It is only clear that Theo has had some past scars from abuse which he has yet to fully overcome. Once Theo has decided to trust someone, he is completely open to all the affection and touching he can get, belly rubs, butt scratches and all. He will generously slather kisses upon those he trusts, and his tail wags are full-rear-end-so-happy-to-see-you-out-and-out-ecstatic waggles. Theo has great potential for loving anyone who can devote the time and trust and commitment to him At this time, Theo is working with Lorraine May and that he so desperately needs. But getting Theo beyond Karen White who are not giving up on him.

PAW PRINTS | November 2014 1 TOP TEN TIPS FOR FEEDING PETS THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS http://www.petmd.com Be Prepared When Your Pet Comes Begging With the holidays approaching, your dog or cat will inevitably be begging to partake in the big turkey dinner.

PAW PRINTS | November 2014 2 A CAT’S UNIVERSE by Snoopy & Gizmo CAT TV Mom saw Gizmo studying something very intently in the window well and went over to see what was so interesting. Well guess what! There sat a small mouse looking back at Gizmo. Boy did Gizmo really want out there. Of course Mom would not let him out. She said the mouse was so cute and had such beautiful, soft brown almost velvet looking fur. All Gizmo saw was a “great toy.” He has given Mom mouse gifts before but she said it did not appear that he had done anything to them so maybe he just played with them and they died of fright. The next issue was how to get the mouse out of the window well and set it free. First they tried putting a box on its side and put some bacon grease in there to see if he would go inside. I thought everyone and everything liked bacon but evidently mice do not because he only ran in very fast and then ran out and never went back. That night they took the box out and tried to come up with a different strategy for the next day. Meanwhile Gizmo spent a lot of time watching the mouse and begging to get out there. Day two of CAT TV began with Mom putting some critter food out for the mouse and a small dish with water. She said it was not going to starve on her watch. I am not sure what that means but the mouse sure liked the food and water. Dad came up with the idea to put a long piece of wood into the window well and the mouse could walk up and free himself. Well, the mouse sniffed the wood and then went back to his hiding place behind a piece of slate leaning against the window well wall. In the afternoon Mom check on him but he had not gone up the wood so she got some cheese and put in on the wood spaced apart so he would, hopefully, follow the cheese to freedom. Day three of CAT TV began with despair as the mouse was still there and had not eaten any of the cheese. Mom was really sad so she put out some more critter food and water so he would not starve. Well he stayed the rest of the day. Day four of CAT TV and the mouse is GONE along with all the cheese pieces! Mom is happy but Gizmo is not.

  • Winkie Dm 1 Pdsa Dickin Medal Winkie Dm 1
    WINKIE DM 1 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL WINKIE DM 1 “For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February, 1942.” Date of Award: 2 December 1943 WINKIE’S STORY Carrier pigeon, Winkie, received the first PDSA Dickin Medal from Maria Dickin on 2 December 1943 for the heroic role she played in saving the lives of a downed air crew. The four-man crew’s Beaufort Bomber ditched in the sea more than 100 miles from base after coming under enemy fire during a mission over Norway. Unable to radio the plane’s position, they released Winkie and despite horrendous weather and being covered in oil, she made it home to raise the alarm. Home for Winkie was more than 120 miles from the downed aircraft. Her owner, George Ross, discovered her and contacted RAF Leuchars in Fife to raise the alarm. “DESPITE HORRENDOUS WEATHER AND BEING COVERED IN OIL SHE MADE IT HOME ...” Although it had no accurate position for the downed crew, the RAF managed to calculate its position, using the time between the plane crashing and Winkie’s return, the wind direction and likely effect of the oil on her flight speed. They launched a rescue operation within 15 minutes of her return home. Following the successful rescue, the crew held a celebration dinner in honour of Winkie’s achievement and she reportedly ‘basked in her cage’ as she was toasted by the officers. Winkie received her PDSA Dickin Medal a year later.

This was the first burn of its kind in modern Marin County, being held on private land and led by a non-government entity. The burn was a resounding success. Our 99-years- young founder, Dr. Martin Griffin, even did us the great honor of igniting the start of our test burn; it was a reverent scene to say the least. We had representation and support from so many great partners, including: •Marin County Fire, Golden Gate National Recreation Area Fire (GGNRA), Founder Dr. Marty Griffin lighting off the unit with Bolinas Fire District, Central Marin Fire and Stinson Beach Volunteer Fire Fire Forward Director Sasha Berleman and Burn Department; •Crew of highly-trained wildland fire-qualified volunteers coming from a range of backgrounds including State Parks, Resource Conservation District, UC Berkeley’s Wildland Fire Science Lab and Forestry Department, San Jose State Meteorology Lab, Wildlands Conservancy, Pepperwood Preserve, private ranchers and landowners/managers; •An impressive team of ACR staff to support with logistics (including feeding of fifty people, parking, check-in, parking management, etc.) and assist on the fire line (running the pump and operating our water- pumping capable side-by-side). — continues on pages 7, 8 A Look at What’s Inside Reflections on the A Wild Ride to the A Closer Look at Bourne Ridge Need A Good Winter A Winter Dinner Fall Season Farallon Islands Fall Hiking Controlled Burn Read?
