Show Control of pets beneficial to owners and community If you've had the experience of having your pet picked up by the military police, you've also had the experience of paying the pick-u- p and impoundment fee. It isn't an attempt at harrassment of animal lovers; it's merely the price we all must pay to safeguard both our pets and our neighbors. SP4 GENE DAVIS of the Post Veterinary Office explained the situation. "We have a large number of animals such as rabbits, coyotes and skunks that carry communicable diseases. If a wandering pet should come in contact with one, lie could easily pick up a disease that could be transferred with no trouble to other animals and even people." Loose pets can also be a nuisance to the neighborhood. Rambunctious children and excited animals can often lead to a nasty bite. HUNGRY, inquisite animals and open trash cans often result in garbage over most of an entire block. And a loose puppy can combine with a full moon to result in a lost night's sleep for quite a few people. "There is about one pet for every human, maybe a little less," Sp4 Davis said. "The MP pick-up-s run in a cyclical, or rather seasonal manner." "One week you waon't have any, but then die next i you might have five or six." WHEN THE ANIMAL is picked hp, it's an automatic no excuses. If the animal isn't registered on post $10 fee with the veterinary office, that fee is $12. For each day that the pet remains in the veterinary kennels, an additional $1.75 for dogs and $150 for cats is charged. These fees defray the cost of the service. "If for some reason the pet isn't picked up in two weeks," Sp4 Davis added, "then we advertise the animal as a give-away- ." BECAUSE OF the large distance to community with veterinary services, the section at Dugw.'y provides services for people in the surrounding area. Tht section's area of responsibility also includes activities as far away as the Tooele Army Depot and the Defense Depot at Ogden. "We had a case of distemper in Tooele last month," Davis said, "and only one suspected case here in the Sp4 last year. And that was only suspected." "But that doesn't mean it couldn't happen here," he added. THE SUCCESS of the animal program at Dugway can be traced to an effective animal health care program under the direction of Post Veterinarian Dr. (Capt.) Wil' liam S. Miner. Sp4 Davis outlined it. "At seven to nine weeks of age, puppies should be vaccination. brought in for their first distemper- Two weeks later, they should return for another distemper-hepatitu- s and a leprospirosis vaccination." "At three months, the dog should return for his rabies and another DHL." "AFTER THAT, the rabies should be redone evt-rtwo years and the DHL annually." The cost of the vaccinations is $3 for the first DH, $350 for the next DHL, and $2.o0 for the rabies. For cats, the feline distemper shot should x at seven to nine weeks. At three months, the cat should have his rabies and another feline distemper shot. THE COST for each is $2.50. Sp4 Davis stressed the importance of having the vaccinations done regularly. "It's the same as the first series of innoculations given to human babies," he said. Sp4 Davis also noted that many of the problems experienced by Dugway residents with their animals could be avoided if people would obey the regulations (DTC Reg ing sm,,,,, una 0.0- "IF YOU KEEP your pet under control, he's not goto get into trouble, and he won't wind up in our ken- nels." A third citation of an owner for the same animal within two years is grounds for removal of the pet from the installation. The veterinary clinic is open Mondays and Thursdays in Building 5714 from 8:30 until 11 a.m.' In order to eliminate needless waiting and to give each pet the maximum attention, appointments are required. They can lie obtained by calling the clinic at 2316 or the veterinary office at 5 i r 2317. BOARDING SERVICE for pets is available on a first serve basis. Pets are accepted and released between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Pick-upets (those picked up by MP's) are available first-com- e, -- he-atit- p at this time as well. There's an old saving that goes: "Love me, love my dog." BY SAYING IT, you imply that if someone is to accept you. they must also accept that which you love. And if you expect someone else to love your - dog, then it's fairly well understood that you love him too. And as every rational person knows, a vital part of love is protection. But when you allow your pet to run loose on post, you're denying him the protection he needs. You not only lose money by paying expenses involved in boarding the animal, you run the risk of losing your pet permanently. DON'T TAKE the chance. If you've ever shared any affection with a pet, you know this already. But if you haven't stop and think about it. Isn't the small effort of keeping your pet inside, chained or fenced worth it? f 1 U'. l f' - a 40-3- ). - National League wins in All Star iW&r..'St f f f i s intramural Softball HI The 1973 Intramural All Star Softball game was played June 28 with the National League All Stars coming out 2 on top by an score over the American League.
