Good morning fellow feline fanatics. Everyone calls me Dove, and I couldn't have asked for a better name. Not only is my white fur feathery soft, but life on the streets hasn't tarnished my sweet soul either. I'm between 3-5 years old and they found me as a stray but you'd never know it. My three cottonball-cloud-kittens did a great job of keeping me grounded, but now it's my turn to shine! I might be a little shy when you first come to meet me, but I'll warm up to you once I know you're safe. Hint: it usually only takes a few seconds! Once you hear the soft, gentle rumbles in my throat, you're in. One of my goals in life is to become a carefree lap cat, which you may witness after a few minutes and I start to knead my bed like a love-thirsty kitten - oh, and I even have a few extra toes to do it with!

Webster Lake Association Receives 2018 Janet Malser Humanities Trust Grant
October 31 , 2018
ROY’S TO THE RESCUE!
WEBSTER, MA - The Webster Lake Association “WLA” was recently awarded a grant of $13,800.00 from the Janet Malser Humanities Trust for restoration work at Webster Lake, Webster, Massachusetts. The WLA would like to thank the Janet Malser Trust. The grant will be used to reconnect Pout Pond to the main lake. Pout Pond is a 4.23 Acre pond located within the western section of Webster Lake. Pout Pond has historically served as a direct inlet into Webster Lake, with a culvert connecting the pond to the watershed. Currently, the water connectivity between the two waterbodies has halted due to an accumulation of nuisance emergent vegetation and organic matter buildup along the Pout Pond side of the culvert. Due to a growing concern regarding water flow, dissolved oxygen levels, fish connectivity, and flood retention capabilities, this culvert has been labeled high priority and hydro-raking is proposed to restore this area. Along with the Janet Malser Humanities Trust Grant’s generous grant, WLA will be expensing $5,000.00 for a total project cost of $18,800.00. The expectation is to restore the historically balanced ecosystem that has prevailed in past years, such as restored water movement, creating healthy fauna and floura (aquatic animals and plants), which in turn will resume recreational activity such as boating, fishing and wildlife viewing. The support of local organizations, such as the Janet Malser Humanities Trust Grant, enables the WLA to continue its work towards preserving this regionally unique resource as a pristine legacy for future generations.

PET CARE SECTION
SECTION Being Proactive Can Help Your Pet Live Longer (BPT) - Your pets are an integral part of the family, so it's important to practice preventative care to support their well-being and help them live long, healthy lives. But just like people, pets can be affected by chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and allergies. That's why, as a pet parent, staying informed and being proactive can help to avoid or at least prolong the onset of chronic conditions. Pet health trends change over time. Cats and dogs are more prone to certain conditions now than they have been in the past. For example, over the past 10 years there's been a 30 percent increase in environmental allergy cases in
dogs and an 11 percent increase in cats, according to the Banfield 2018 State of Pet Health Report. Allergens can vary by region and climate, but many common triggers can be found in the home, notes the study.

Additionally, pets today are also more prone to being overweight, and obesity cases are rising. One in three pets are overweight, according to Banfield, and the numbers are growing. While you can be proactive in helping pets exercise and eat a nutritionally-balanced diet, there are many other health conditions you have no control over. Pets can suffer from chronic diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and thyroid disease. The first step to keep pets healthy is to invest in preventative care. One of the most important things you can do to ensure the ongoing health of any animal is to bring them in for annual checkups whether they are experiencing health issues or not. This allows veterinarians to screen for a variety of health issues and provide insight on any concerns. This is also an opportunity for you to ask important questions and get expert insight. If you discover that your pet has a chronic condition that needs to be treated, don't panic. Modern medicine and treatment plans help pets live a long, high-quality life even with conditions like allergies or diabetes. You may have to make lifestyle adjustments such as changing food or activity routines, but it's usually manageable and
you'll likely notice an improvement to your pet's health and demeanor quickly. As is the case with humans, chronic conditions are often treated with preventative medications. In fact, many of the same prescriptions that people use are also used on pets, just at a different dosage. That means you can buy your pet's medication at your local pharmacy instead of the vet's office. By doing this you can access deep discounts offered with the Inside Rx Pets card, in more than 40,000 participating pharmacies nationwide. The program offers savings on commonly prescribed medications such as insulin and antibiotics, as well as glaucoma and antiinflammatory drugs. A list of the medications with which you can use the Inside Rx Pets card, as well as information to compare the pricing in pharmacies in your area and other use terms, can be found at InsideRx.com/pets. Just like people, taking preventative measures for your pets' health will help save costs in the long run. What's more, it will help ensure that your favorite furry family members are by your side for many years to come.

prevalent belief was that deaf dogs needed to be destroyed. It is the tale of a legendary deaf canine champion who endured severe abuse and prevailed as he turned upside down the myths of deaf dogs being dumb, difficult to train, and harmful. Hogan learned over seventy words in American Sign Language, engaged in normal puppy activities, and provided the hope of life, not death for deaf dogs worldwide. Through perseverance and enduring hope, Hogan’s courage provided inspiration to anyone, human or pet, that success and genuine love are truly possible. This heroic deaf dog continues to reveal that by choosing hope, anyone’s dreams can come true, and the world can be filled with steadfast faith, pure joy, and unconditional love. It’s a story like no other.
