she would not seek re-election. Mayor Suzette Cooke thanked Ranniger for her contribution to the city. “Your energy, your vision, your inclusiveness of making sure this city reaches out and recognizes the many people within our population from
diverse backgrounds,” Cooke said. “You have been a real leader and doer in those things.” Ranniger said she was grateful for the opportunity to serve the city for 12 years. [ more COUNCIL page 2 ]
State, city investigate oil spill in Kent BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com
Crews from the state Department of Ecology spent three-and-a-half days last week cleaning up waste oil spilled on a Kent Valley wetland. State and city officials are trying to figure out who dumped the oil. The spill contained an estimated 250 gallons of oil over a 1.5-acre site on a 24-acre private wetland off a cul-de-sac on South 216th Street, just west of 84th Avenue South. The dumped oil certainly shocked city officials. “We were surprised that someone would dump such a large quantity of hazardous material in a natural resource [ more SPILL page 4 ]

[2] January 8, 2016 [ COUNCIL from page 1 ] “I feel that I have made a good contributions and I feel very proud of that,” she said. Ranniger stressed to the current council the importance of fostering inclusion, one of the city’s strategic goals. “I truly hope in spite of the challenge you will face with the budget that you will make a place for ongoing funding to foster inclusion and have initiatives around diversity and social justice,” she said, “because if there was ever a time that was critically important, that time is now.” Ranniger said she plans to stay involved in the community, although she isn’t sure in what capacity. “I am guided by my passions and those are not going to change,” she said. “A lot of those passions were very much developed by the 12 years I spent here on the Kent City Council, so that remains inside of me forever, and for that, I am
www.kentreporter.com forever grateful.” Ranniger said she is excited about the development of a YMCA in Kent. The city and the YMCA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last year to build a $25 million recreational facility and pool on Southeast 248th Street, just east of 104th Avenue Southeast, in three to five years. Ranniger has been a proponent of bringing a recreational facility to the city and was also involved in keeping the Kent-Meridian pool open. “I am not quite sure what role I will play in helping that YMCA come to town, but I hope to stay involved in that because of the aquatic facility and what that will do,” she said. “That’s a missing piece. That is something our community really needs. Budell, who was active in the neighborhood councils before being elected, said she appreciated Ranniger’s support in keeping that program active.
“As a citizen coming to council meetings and talking to you after council meetings, it was one of the first interactions with an elected official were I felt like my voice was heard,” Budell said. “Thank you for all you have done for the
city. Thanks for listening to the average citizen and making us feel like we have a voice and we have an impact.” Prior to Tuesday’s council meeting, the city had a reception for Ranniger. It was originally planned for the

city councilmember. Brenda Fincher was sworn in Tuesday night for a two-year term. She was appointed last February to replace Ken Sharp, who resigned after just two weeks in office. Fincher ran to fill the remainder of the term. Councilmembers Bill Boyce and Dana Ralph were sworn in for their second terms and Les Thomas took the oath of office for his fourth term. The council elected Boyce as its new council president to replace Ralph, who served two years in the position. Boyce said he looks forward to serving the council in his new role. “There’s a lot of pressure on me,” he said. “I am a little nervous, but I do know we are one team and we work together as a team. … I look look forward to continue having us move as one and keep us focused on the big picture and what is best for Kent.”

Man faces trial date for death of his mother, theft from her bank accounts
KENT

POLICE BUST KENT MAN IN PROSTITUTION STING Federal Way police arrested eight men, including a Kent man, during a recent undercover sting targeting prostitution. Police created an advertisement on backpage.com and an undercover detective posing as a prostitute communicated with the men via text and cellphone, according to police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock. Once a man arrived at a vacant apartment in the 2200 block of South Star Lake Road, the detective met with him outside the location and obtained an in-person offer and agreement for a sexual act. Police arrested on Dec. 17 a Federal Way man, one from Kent, two men from Tacoma, three from Seattle and a man from Sacramento, Calif. Police interviewed the suspects at the SCORE jail in Des Moines and released them. They all face charges for investigation of soliciting prostitution.

Suspicious substance found at Green River College not hazardous BY HEIDI SANDERS hsanders@kentreporter.com
Green River College’s administration building on its main campus in Auburn was under quarantine for several hours on Monday after an employee opened an envelope that contained white powder. Firefighters from the Valley Regional Fire Authority and a hazardous materials team from the Kent Fire Regional Fire Authority responded to the college at about 11:30 a.m. and determined the substance was talcum powder. No injuries or illnesses were reported.
Allison Friedly, the college’s director of college relations, said an employee in the business office opened the envelope, which had been mailed to the college. It contained a suspicious letter along with the white powder. Friedly said she didn’t know exactly what the letter said because she had not seen it and it had been turned over to a U.S. Postal Service inspector. After the employee discovered the powder, Green River campus security was notified and the college put its emergency procedures in place.
About 25 employees work in the administration building, where the business office is located, Friedly said. “We were using every precaution to make sure everyone was safe in the building,” Friedly said, adding that there was never an actual threat on campus. Monday was the first day of winter quarter at the college, but Friedly said classes and students were not affected by the incident. The Renton Fire Department and Auburn Police Department also responded to the incident.
Kent mother, daughter face insurance theft charges REPORTER STAFF
A Kent mother and daughter each were charged with one count of first-degree theft and one count of second-degree theft for reportedly keeping money meant to pay for medical bills after a vehicle collision. Vivian Reece, 50, and Jamilia Caston, 26, both of Kent, each were charged in King County Superior
Court, according to a Dec. 29 media release from the state Office of the Insurance Commissioner. According to the charging documents, Reece and her daughter Caston were involved in a July 2014 collision in a parking lot; the at-fault driver was insured by State Farm. State Farm paid Reece $6,200 and Caston $5,600 directly to pay their related medical bills and for pain
and suffering. Both women kept portions of the money that were meant to pay the medical bills; the women’s health insurance paid the medical bills. Later, in October 2014, Caston was involved in another collision and submitted medical bills from the July collision to the at-fault driver’s insurance, Nationwide, for payment.

A Kent man faces a scheduled Feb. 29 trial date in King County Superior Court for second-degree manslaughter and first-degree theft for allegedly letting his 86-yearold mother die in their Kent apartment in 2014 as well as stealing nearly $180,000 from her bank account. Joselito Dagamac Hondolero, who turns 50 on Jan. 8, pleaded not guilty to the charges in November 2014. He is out on $25,000 bail. His trial date is set for Feb. 29, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors allege Hondolero’s criminal negligence in taking care of his mother between Sept. 22, 2013 and Jan. 22, 2014, caused the death of Adriana D. Hondolero on Jan. 22, 2014, according to charging papers. He reportedly spent her money on casino gambling, a cruise, a vehicle and other items. The case began after Hondolero called 911 on Jan. 22, 2014 to report his mother’s death. Kent Police arrived and funeral home officials came later to recover the body at the family’s request, according to charging papers. But funeral home staff refused to take the body because of its bad condition and contacted the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. Adult Protective Services, a division of the state Department of Social and Health Services, initially investigated the case and reported the autopsy showed Adriana Hondolero was in an adult diaper completely soiled and filled with feces. The woman had significant bedsores and weighed just 63 pounds at the time of her death after she used to weigh as much as 130 pounds. Her cause of death was acute pneumonia and infected pressure ulcers (bedsores),
according to the medical examiner. Kent Police investigated the death and Hondolero told a detective that his mother had lived with him and his wife for about three years. He and his brother served as caretakers until his brother died in April 2013 and Hondolero became the sole caretaker. His mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2010. She was last seen by her physician in June 2011. The son told detectives his mother had been bed-bound for about the last four months of her life and had stopped taking medications about a year before her death. He said he didn’t take his mother to a doctor because she didn’t want to go. He added that in her final days she lost the ability to eat and speak. He said he didn’t think her bedsores were that bad. As far as the theft charge, according to charging documents, Joselito Hondolero between June 2012 and June 2013 made 33 cash withdrawals for a total of $16,106 at ATM machines at the Muckleshoot and Tulalip casinos and from a Norwegian Dawn cruise ship from a savings account he set up for himself with his mother’s money. He reportedly made 88 other cash withdrawals at the casinos between June 2010 and December 2013 from two of his mother’s accounts totaling $34,726. Besides the casino withdrawals, another 177 ATM withdrawals between June 2012 and January 2014 from his account and his mother’s two accounts totaled $114,570. “Adriana was not in any condition to leave her home, let along go shopping or gambling,” a Kent detective wrote in the charging papers about who spent the money. “She was diagnosed with dementia prior to her last doctor’s appointment on June 10, 2011.”

oil cannot be removed if doing so would be more harmful to habitat. “You can’t remove all oil from a wetland because there’s a point where the cleanup is too aggressive and could harm the wetland,” Altose said. The property is well known to city officials. “The wetland is one of the larger undeveloped pieces of property left in the valley portion of Kent and provides habitat for typical Pacific Northwest birds, critters and amphibians,” Mactutis said. But since this is winter, crews have observed no birds in the area. State officials said that small life forms, such as insects, other invertebrates and amphibians would be affected by this oil. Crews on the third clean-up day captured three live oiled frogs, cleaned them and released them to a clean portion of the wetland. No other oiled wildlife has been observed. Officials estimated the cleanup cost could reach as high as $50,000. As of Dec. 31, the total cost so far was $20,800. State law allows penalties to be as-
sessed if the violator can be found. “If this was intentional, the penalty could be substantial,” Altose said. “Polluting state waters, failure to report an oil spill, spilling oil, are examples of at least three separate violations that could be found in a case like this.” Altose said it was too soon to guess any potential penalties. With no responsible party identified, Ecology tapped into a state oil spill contingency fund to hire National Response Corp., to conduct the cleanup work under the state’s direction. “It would be very disappointing if this came from an intentional dump,” Altose said. “If this was waste oil, our 1-800-RECYCLE team (on the phone or online) would have been able to help locate places that could take it.” Anyone who has seen activity near the South 216th Street cul-de-sac over the last several weeks is asked to call the state Department of Ecology at 360-407-6000 or the city of Kent Public Works Department at 253856-5500.-

and her father in the front passenger seat. The baby, who lived in Kent with her parents, died two days after the shooting. Kime also faces two charges of first-degree assault for allegedly firing shots at Grant’s parents, who were not injured. Kime targeted the vehicle because he believed the victim’s father to be associated with a rival street gang known as Deuce 8, charging papers said. Kime, also known as YM (Young Marty) or Marty, is a self-proclaimed member of the Low Profile gang. He blamed the Deuce 8 gang for the Seattle murder last March of John Williams, his friend and fellow gang member, according to charging papers. If convicted as charged for the baby’s murder, Kime could face a sentence range of 41-54 years in prison, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Jane Morrill Longino Jane Morrill Longino passed away peacefully Christmas evening at her residence at Farrington Court in Kent. Janie was born on May 24, 1921 and spent most of her 94 years on Scenic Hill. Janie Lou as most of her friends knew her was part of the Morrill family who were pioneers in this area. She was a lifelong member of Saint James Episcopal church in Kent where she served on the altar guild and volunteered at the Saint James Thrift Shop for many years. She was preceded in death by her husband Charles and her two brothers and sister. She is survived by four children, eight grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. There will be a memorial service at the Saint James Episcopal Church in Kent on January 14, 2016 at 11am. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
like this,” said Mike Mactutis, city environmental engineering manager, in an email. “At this point, there does not appear to be any way this would have been accidental. The public works department will coordinate with Ecology and the police department on an investigation into the source.” Ecology’s Manchester Environmental Laboratory identified a sample of the oil as lube oil with a trace of diesel. State officials said the spill was reported on Dec. 27 when a dog walker noticed it and called 911. The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority responded and reported the spill to the state. Responders found thick heavy oil in a marshy forest. The material appeared to be waste oil, and showed signs with a grayish color and low odor level that it had been there at least a week or possibly more. The oil was 2 inches deep in some spots. “It may have been dumped,” said Larry Altose,
state Ecology spokesman. “We’re still investigating how it got there.” The city of Kent owns a stormwater easement through the wetland. The oil loomed near the easement but wasn’t in it, Mactutis said. Crews tried to remove as much of the oil as possible. Workers have collected 500 gallons of oily water and 125 gallons of oil extracted by a skimmer. “We had crews working with small skimmers and vacuums,” Altose said. The skimmers and special pads placed on the water take up oil but not water. Crews remove all leaves, twigs and branches that have oil on them. Crews wrapped up their efforts on Dec. 31 and removed their equipment. The Department of Ecology will make periodic visits to monitor the recovery process, and the cleanup contractor will make regular checks of the cleanup materials and replacement them as needed. State officials said wetland spills can be very complex, and sometimes some

City Council needs to adopt fireworks ban In November, 63 percent of the voters voted to ban fireworks in Kent. Many letters in the past Kent Reporter have indicated frustration as to why the City Council hasn’t already acted upon the vote of the people. My last letter to the editor, “It should be a done deal” (Dec. 11) expresses that very frustration. On Tuesday, Jan. 19, at City Hall in downtown Kent the council meets for a workshop at 5 p.m. to discuss this issue once again. At 7 p.m. the public can address the council concerning the ban. The safety committee led by Jim Berrios has already spent many hours over this issue. I encourage those of you who voted for the ban as well as those of you who wrote letters for the ban to be present

– Mary Personette
I was surprised to read in the Kent Reporter (Jan. 1) that our City Council is considering what appears to be crony capitalism by requiring businesses to use only one company to collect recyclables. This effectively closes the door to open market forces that keeps fees in check by encouraging competition and efficiency. With no competition it is just a matter of time before prices rise, service quality suffers and the list of acceptable items shrinks – all in an effort to push profits to the top. What is really surprising about this proposal is it suggests the inevitable closure of independent recyclers (small businesses) in the area that will be completely shut out. [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

“Are you optimistic about a brighter, better 2016?”
Dennis Box

Question of the week:
I was at the Journal of San Juan Island newspaper office last week and noticed one of the top 10 stories from 2015 was the discovery of a dinosaur bone on Sucia Island. The Burke Museum, where the bone is lounging, noted in a release that it is the left thigh bone of a Theropod, a two-legged, meat-eating ruffian like Tyrannosaurus rex. In other words, this was no vegan hoofer. The museum also pointed out that the bone was about 80 million years old. I was all zippy to read that. Finally, the science guys found something older than me. The story did fire a few synapses, which kind of hurt. I imagined that one day in a far-off galaxy, a scrubbed paleontologist with multiple ears will be examining a bag of twisted bones in his laboratory. The ears guy will likely have found the bones while visiting Earth and strolling on Loony Island. After a bunch of months looking through itty-bitty reading glasses, the many ear-lobes guy will come out and authoritatively tell a room of other guys with lots of ears, “These are the bones of a newspaper editor.” Beings with spiky-pink hair and horn-rims will look at each other and ask, “A what? Is it human?” “Probably not,” the scientist with excellent posture will tell them. “Although we are not sure what he really was. It appears from his thumb and forefinger he was an incessant whiner with no hair.” One of the spiky-pinks will ask, “What did he do for fun?” “As far as we can tell, nothing. He apparently drank large amounts of a buttermilk. No one is sure what the stuff is or why anyone would consume it. We theorize he used it to try to grow head hair.” These scientists will also have crazy theorems that can’t be right, like our
year,” said Yoram Bauman, cofounder of Carbon Washington, the group behind I-732. “We’re super excited about what comes next.” That’s going to be months of campaigning to educate voters on its measure to tax carbon emissions from gasoline, natural gas and fossil fuels. It also would lower the state’s retail sales tax, trim the business and
occupation tax and give low-income families a tax rebate. The claim is it will be “revenue neutral” for state coffers. There’s going to be opposition. But the loudest opponents may not be in the ranks of climate change deniers but among those in a coalition [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

KentHOPE receives gifts REPORTER STAFF
Leslie Perez was determined to make a boy’s wish come true. Perez, a humble and warmhearted 16-year-old sophomore at Auburn Mountainview High School, saved up enough money from babysitting to buy a bicycle for the boy, whose family has struggled with homelessness. The boy’s mother, who has been a guest at the KentHOPE Women and Children’s Day Center, requested the bike for her son. “When I saw the wish list at my church I wanted to help,” said Perez, whose family attends HighPoint Church of Kent. The congregation, which meets at Mill Creek Middle School, supports the day center, having donated meals to the home. The Perez family, who live in Pacific, delivered the $80 mountain bike to the boy and other gifts to the family in need during the holiday season. “Awesome,” Cindy Perez said of her daughter’s gesture. “She doesn’t always say it but she has the heart of giving.” “She even asked us for permission to do it,” said Leslie’s father, ’Dre Perez. Sam Pace, a family friend who attends the same church, said
Leslie is an amazing young lady who is willing to help and make a difference in the lives of others. “Leslie doesn’t have a lot of money, so what she did says a whole lot about the kind of person she is,” Pace said. “It also says something that she gave away a brand new bicycle rather than keeping the new one for herself and giving away her old bike. “Leslie has a heart for helping people. Her gift of a bicycle was not a surprise to folks who know her,” Pace added. “In fact, the week before she purchased the bicycle she showed up at an outdoor event to help homeless folks in downtown Kent. It was a really cold night. The weather was brutally nasty, with hard rain and sleet blowing sideways at times. But Leslie was there, helping to provide hot food, clothes and supplies – and her tremendous smile – to brighten the lives of folks on the street.” Other churches, individuals, groups and organizations recently donated gifts to the day center and its guests. Among the contributions: • Long Building Technologies awarded $4,000 to KentHOPE as a recipient of its Bless Fest. • Dr. Sue Hollinsworth’s dentistry office staff

decided to forego a gift exchange this year and instead purchased a vacuum cleaner, carpet shampooer and keyboard for the day center. • First African Episcopal Methodist (FAME) Church of Auburn, which has provided meals in the past, organized a shoe drive, donated more than 50 pairs of shoes to guests and treated them to a brunch. • Real Life Church donated 70 purses filled with toiletries, accessories and other useful items for the guests. • Kent United Methodist Church hosted a Christmas party for day center guests and Safe Parking families. The party included a festive lunch, cookie baking and decorating, karaoke and gifts for the children. • Faith Church invited guests to a Christmas event and provided transportation. • Kathy Sanchez painted designer nails for guests.

[ CORNFIELD from page 5 ] of environmental, labor and progressive groups. Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, with a 30-person steering committee and roughly 150 groups as members, had been trying for months to get I-732 supporters to stand down and join them with a different approach they thought would fare better with voters. That approach would involve capping emissions, collecting a fee from emitters and spreading that dough around to clean energy and communitybuilding projects. CarbonWA supporters decided not to join them partly because their offering had not been fully refined. “Our approach was to come with a great policy

and bring people together to support it,” he said. “Their approach has been to bring a bunch a people around the table and come up with a policy they can all agree upon. And they are finding that to be challenging.” The alliance brain trust is now debating – and polling – its options. Three stand out: Do nothing, craft a measure to complement I-732, or push ahead with a competing measure. Not going forward is an absolute possibility, if there is no clear and surmountable path to winning, alliance members said. When voters are faced with competing items on a ballot, they tend to turn both down. Alliance members are frustrated I-732 forces don’t see the potential damage to their cause in losing as much
scientists spinning stories about evolution or global warming … hmmfff. Mr. Ears continues, “Amazingly, this buttermilk stuff apparently preserved this near humanoid for some 80 million years. Maybe it was used to preserve him for the study of devolved goofballs. We suspect he squinted at something a lot, maybe one of those things known as computer screens. Computers were very common at that time. Humans actually believed they worked. We are not sure why. “We cannot really find much use for this editor other than aggravating real humans. He apparently spent time observing political races, which we think may have caused his extinction, or he was run over by an iceberg.” I think I will take a trip to Burke Museum and check out the dinosaur and spend some time wondering what the heck he was doing on Sucia Island. Probably looking for a snack, or a nice cool class of buttermilk. Reach Dennis Box, Covington Reporter regional editor, at dbox@maplevalleyreporter.com or 425-432-1209, ext. 5050.

as they do. If the alliance proceeds, its members would need to spend as much time talking up their proposition as they have been talking down I-732. That won’t be hard, as they’ve been lobbing verbal jabs for a while. And recently, they latched onto a state Department of Revenue analysis they claim shows the initiative won’t be “revenue neutral” but actually cause the state to lose money over time. Adam Glickman, secretary-treasurer of Service Employees International Union Local 775 and an alliance steering committee member, called it a “poorly written” and “deeply flawed” initiative that will drain valuable dollars from the state treasury without forcing major polluters to
reduce carbon emissions. “Big Oil is dancing in the streets over this,” he said. Bauman offered a robust rebuttal to the economic analysis, saying the model and assumptions used by legislative staff didn’t accurately reflect the measure. “We believe that further analysis by the state will show that the measure is revenue neutral, or very close to it,” he said. “We think I-732 is a terrific policy,” he said. “Fossil fuels will cost a little bit more and everything else will cost a little bit less and that’s how we’re going to save the world.” We’ll see what Washington voters think about that next fall.

THE GARDENER
Winter is when every landscape and garden holds the promise of a perfect growing season. This January resolve to add these monthly reminders to your calendar. You’ll enjoy less work and more beauty if your resolutions for 2016 are to do at least one nice thing for your garden each month. January – Save these tips. Order seeds, especially heirloom seed if you want to grow varieties that you won’t find at a local nurseries. Tip: Even if you don’t end up planting all the seeds you buy you’ll still be helping out a small business that is trying to save our supply of heirloom seeds. February – Cut back the brown tops of ornamental grasses this month. Prune roses. Attend the Northwest Flower and Garden Show that runs Feb. 17-21 at the Washington State Convention Center. Order tickets online at www.gardenshow. com. My talk this year at the show will be on “Weed Wars – how to win the battle without harming Mother Nature” (Saturday, Feb. 20 at 5:30 p.m.) March – Invest some time in weed control now for big dividends later. Divide daylilies, feed the lawn, sharpen the blades and tune up your mower. April – Plant cool season crops like peas, lettuce, kale
nials and annuals with better behaved versions on sale at nurseries this month. Fertilize Western Washington lawns in late September. Reseed new lawns in early September. October – Move tender potted plants close to the house, bring tender succulents like Echiverias indoors. Cut back frost damaged plants and collect fallen leaves. Make this the month you start a compost pile by piling leaves and debris in a corner of the garden. November – Plant spring blooming bulbs such as tulips and daffodils. Dig or cover tender bulbs of dahlias, cannas and tuberous begonias. Use up the gas and drain the oil from your mower before winter storage. Give thanks that you live in such a beautiful, green place. December – Harvest your evergreens and berried branches to decorate from nature this month. Fill planters, window boxes and hanging baskets with the pruning crumbs from your evergreens and make jolly with holly.

Include your pet (BPT) - Tis’ the season for new beginnings. As holiday gifts give way to New Year’s resolutions, general health and wellness is top-of-mind, consistently ranking as a top goal for both men and women this time of year. This resolution season, try incorporating viÃÌÞ i V > }iÃ Ì >Ì Li iw Ì L Ì Þ Õ and your pet. PetSmart veterinarian and pet care expert Dr. Kemba Marshall provides some helpful tips for achieving a healthier lifestyle for you and your animal companions. 1. Exercise is key. Pets, like humans, need physical activity in order to be healthy. The good news is giving your pet adequate daily exercise is easy! For some dog breeds, 30-minute walks are enough. For others, a game of fetch does the trick. Interested in trying something new? Mix up the activity. Try sprinting alongside your pet in quick intervals. Balls are great for fetch, but have you ever tried a Frisbee? Even a quick trip to the mailbox each day is a great option. No matter what, both you and your pet will have fun spending time together and getting a workout. 2. Stimulate the brain. Maintaining a healthy pet lifestyle goes beyond physical exercise. Activities to stimulate a pet’s mental skills are fun and important too.
Try a treat-dispensing or puzzle toy with your dog or cat to keep their mind active. Introduce the new toy before a meal, this way your pet will be hungry to learn. 3. Optimize the diet. Have you been feeding your pet the same food for years? It may be time for you and your veterinarian to assess his food and make sure you’re providing one that is healthy and satisfying. Only Natural Pet was recently launched at PetSmart as a brand dedicated to the paleo-inspired diet for pets. It blends proteins with all-natural ingredients with a minimal processing, resulting in dehydrated, freeze-dried and air-dried raw products that deliver the paleo diet for pets. This natural brand i >Ìià > >ÀÌ w V > }Ài` i Ìà ÃÕV >à y >Û À }à À «ÀiÃiÀÛ>Ì Ûið / i LiÃÌ Ü>Þ to switch your pet’s food is by providing a gradual transition, mixing the old food with the new for up to 10 days. 4. Monitor your pet’s activity and behavior. This may come as a surprise to many, but discovering an unhealthy habit in your pet’s day-to-day life is as simple as paying closer attention to his or her behavior. While many humans monitor their daily behavior with technical gadgets and apps, monitoring a pet’s daily activity may also lead to a healthier lifestyle. Is your pup demonstrating
5. Stick with your resolutions. Change can be tough on pets, especially when it disrupts diet or day-to-day routines. The important thing to remember is that positive results rarely come without work. As cliché as it may sound, both you and your pet will be thankful for the change in the long run.
These tips are a wonderful way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle for both you and your pet in the new year. Increasing your physical activity and «À Û } Þ ÕÀ ` iÌ >Ài ÕÃÌ Ì i w ÀÃÌ ÌÜ steps. By monitoring yourself and your pet, increasing mental stimulation and sticking with your resolutions, a newer, healthier life for both you and your furry friend is well within reach.

Roadie is a friendly guy who would love a new home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots.
