The Gift of Unconditional Love Can the recipient afford it?
Gifting a pet to a senior seems like the perfect idea, especially after their spouse or partner passes away. However, this loving idea can go awry if the person cannot afford the pet resulting in neglect for the animal, as well as frustration for the owner.
tant to research the pet’s behavioral, care and health history. Keep in mind that average pet costs, not counting additional spending for toys, treats or nonroutine veterinary care, can be daunting. For example, the ASPCA currently estimates that a large dog may cost roughly $1,800 in his or her first year and $780 a year afterward. That doesn’t include potential bills for major illness or accident care that might run into the thousands. If that dog lives eight to 10 years, that means spending a minimum of between $7,260 and $8,820 over a lifetime.
Just as sad, there are documented cases where the tables are turned and the pet owner forgoes food in order to feed their new companion, simply because they can’t afford both. The Coachella Valley is teeming with organizations that will help you adopt a cute and cuddly companion that has been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped. This perfect furry friend you’re sure will please the recipient, but can they afford it? Or do you plan on supporting the pet?
and advanced medical options for American pets have pushed U.S. pet industry expenditures to almost $60 billion in 2014, nearly double the amount in 2004.
Many homeowners and renters should also check with their insurers for potential pet restrictions that may raise their premiums or risk voiding their coverage. Certain types of breeds may be considered higher-risk among some insurers, so before a pet purchase or adoption, prospective pet owners should check their home or rental policies to see how the animal will affect the pricing or availability of coverage.

Notes from the Editor
Dear Françoise,
Sometimes I’ll be reading news items on the web or browsing the
I thought you did a great job with the cover story Coffee with a Cop. Being married to a police officer for over 30 years, the stories I heard about how people treat police officers was alarming. It takes a certain type of individual to be a policeman, and I’ll admit there are some bad officers out there, but overall the majorities are hardworking individuals who put their lives on the line daily (especially in this day and age).
numerous press releases I receive when a sentence or two will strike
I appreciate everything our police officers do, and hope readers will take advantage of the meet and greet.
For those of you rocking out to Coachella Fest;-) I hope you’re hav-
me funny. I started thinking about the people I know that recently adopted pets, and it made me wonder…….did they do the math to see if they can afford the pet? Poof!! That is how the cover story was born. I hope it sheds some light on the expenses of unconditional love……that truly is priceless!
ing a great time. This year I won’t be attending, so no flowered headband for me. I do enjoy looking at the Coachella Fest fashions
Annick Milligan, Palm Desert
and I know how exciting this is for festival goers. We only live once.
Dear Annick, I totally agree with you and thank you for the compliment. I’m sure life was very interesting being married to a police officer, as I remember it was being the daughter of one. Regards, Françoise
The weather is gorgeous, enjoy yourselves and please spread the word that the paper is now online at www.desertmobilehomenews.com Peace & Love……..

Suggestions Wanted For Public Safety “Hot Spots” The Measure J Commission, in collaboration with the city’s neighborhood organization One-PS, formerly (PSNIC), and the Palm Springs business and hospitality communities, are seeking suggestions to improve pedestrian, bicycle and traffic safety “hot spots” throughout the city. Commissioners are specifically seeking suggestions from residents and business owners about “hot spot” locations where they have concerns or have seen or experienced an accident or a near miss involving bicyclists, pedestrians and/ or vehicles.
April 16, 2015
Submitted suggestions will be analyzed by a review committee comprised of representatives from the Measure J Commission, One-PS neighborhood organizations and local business and hospitality partners. To submit a suggestion, visit www.PSSafetyForm.com or go to www.psmeasurej.com. The deadline to submit a suggestion is May 4, 2015.

Prepare a 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar in the container of choice. •Be sure to use regular white vinegar. Apple cider vinegar and other types of vinegar won’t do the trick.

HOROSCOPE April 16 - April 22
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your motivation is high. Your enthusiastic desire to really go for it will produce fans. The positive feedback you receive will make you feel eager to do even more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your mood will be better when you make clean delineations between the different parts of your life. At work, work. When not at work, shake off the seriousness and have fun with your “at home” persona. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be happy now. It may be as simple as commanding yourself to do it. Some days you are more amenable to your own suggestions than other days, and this is one of them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In order to succeed at an aim, you have to be in love with not only the aim, but also the process required to get to it. Today’s information will get you closer to understanding the processes that you truly enjoy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve made some of your dreams happen, and others didn’t work out — but that’s not the point. Some dreams are only good for getting you up, out and into the flow of life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are great with details, keeping people on track and understanding what needs to be done and the order in which it would be best accomplished. You’ll be paid well for applying these skills.
16
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People who say that anything can happen for those who are unrelentingly positive have as unrealistic a view of life as the nihilists who think life is essentially meaningless. Avoid both groups as you embrace the day’s range of emotions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Profound statements will be made in silence. It’s your timing that will make the communication understandable to another person. You are especially adept at connecting with Cancer and Pisces people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you are moved by an event or touched by beauty, that’s your soul speaking up. But it’s not the only way your soul communicates. Today it speaks through your curiosity about a subject. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s an overall sense that someone has to do something about the situation. The difference between you and the others involved is that you pretty much assume that “someone” is you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your posture, body language and clothing will send the message that you command respect even before you open your mouth to talk. If you needed a legitimate reason to go shoe shopping, let this be it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The faster you go the more mistakes you are likely to make. But going slow has costs, too. Your success will depend on a team of people whose strengths and weaknesses balance out.
