Park regular offers walking services
I’m also a dog walker that is free. You don’t have to pay me. I am an expert at dog walking. I am the biggest dog lover you’ll meet. I’m fourteen years old. I have my own dog Riley, but I also have most of the dogs at the dog park. I feel like that the dogs at the park are also mine in a way. My bond with dogs goes up all the time. I have a very special bond with most dogs. You won’t believe my skills as a dog walker or a dog sitter. I dog sat a dog named cali at the dog park just me and her 1 week ago. I dog sit dogs down my street with sophie and chauncey. My cell number is 548-0563. I can only dog sit dogs that I know though because my parents are protective of me. I’m as good as the dog whisper guy Cessar Millian. My being honest here! I dog walk dogs all the time at the park too! The other day I walked 2 great danes that I was told that they never go with anyone and they went with me.

PET TRUSTS
You may not have given much thought about the options to care for your dog after your passing.  Many of you are familiar with various trusts used to transfer or dispose of your estate, but you may not know that, since 2008, Pet Trusts are legal in California.

In 2008, California passed a law ensuring that pet owners' wishes are carried out rather than leaving them to the good faith of an honorary trustee. In effect, the law allows a bequest to pets to be formal and enforceable rather than merely an informal moral obligation.

Only, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia do not have laws authorizing pet trusts at this time

Here are sites that will introduce you to the subject.  Your attorney can create the documents for you and answer further questions you may have.

Hi Marcelo,
I saw Dad today. He is very tired (sleeps most of the day), has lost weight, is very weak,  but he is not worse. Actually he seems to be somewhat stable. If his kidneys recover enough in the next 3 weeks, I think he has a chance.
He is too sick to talk with people but I read to him all the emails that people send and he really enjoys that. He still laughs - his spirit is indomitable. I am proud to be his daughter. D

10 tips for protection from coyotes

Recently, you may have seen an article in Marin IJ about a coyote in Marin City.   

Coyotes are potentially very dangerous to both you and your DOG.  Do not be lulled into thinking they are safe.  They are not!  Please read the following two articles which contain very valuable advice.

This one is very precise.  Be sure to note the 10 Tips which also are posted at the bottom of this.
 


The Marin Humane Society takes more of a "live and let live" approach, we need to be extremely careful.  Hopefully there will be no tragedies.

10 tips for protection
To guard against coyote attacks on your pets:

1. Never leave pets outside without supervision, even - or especially - in your own back yard. To be completely safe, cats should always be kept indoors.

2. If you install a fence for protection, be sure it's at least six feet high and one foot deep.

3. When walking a dog, use a short leash so that the dog remains close to your side. At night, carry a flashlight, walking stick or loud whistle to scare off a coyote.

4. If you encounter a coyote, make a lot of noise and wave your arms to look as menacing as possible. Don't run or turn your back on the animal. Face the coyote and back slowly away.

5. Keep pet food and water dishes indoors.

6. Keep bird feeder areas clean.

7. Cover and secure outdoor trash cans.

8. Remove brush and dense areas near your house where rodents or other wildlife can make their homes and attract larger predators.

9. If you have fruit trees or berry shrubs on your property, pick up the dropped fruit.

10. Don't ever feed, approach or otherwise interact with a coyote. They are naturally fearful of humans - keep it that way.
