Show 10 SPRINGVILLE 'HERALD Thursday, August 16, 2007 The Pet Dish: The truth about cats and dogs r i J 1 1 - '"' 4 A mock earthquake disaster drill was held last week by the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Springville Jr. High School. The exercise gave CERT members an opportunity to practice working with people who come to disaster sites and want to help. Hands-on experience teaches in a way that no other type of training can. Another session of the CERT training classes will begin September 1 1 and 1 3 for anyone interested in taking the course and becoming certified in emergency training.

How much do pet owners own-ers spend on their furry friends every year? For answers to these questions and more, read this list of fun facts. Sixty-three percent of U.S. households have at least one pet, and they spent $38.5 billion for pet products and services in 2006. That is more then Americans spent on hardware, hard-ware, jewelry or candy in 2004. Of that amount, $15.4 billion was spent on food, $9.2 billion was spent on veteririkry care, and $9.3 billion was spent on sup plies and over-the-counter medicine! , Ever wondered why cats seem to hold grudges, while canines forgive so quickly? It probably has a lot to do with forgetting. According to a University of Michigan study, dog's memories last no longer than five minutes, while cat's last up to 16 hours, explain the protest poop kitty left in parlor after you scolded her for jumping jump-ing on the kitchen cabinet. Ninety-four percent of pet owners say pets have human hu-man personality traits. Of those who report, 30 say their pet is emotional or sensitive; sen-sitive; 28 describe their pet as outgoing; 26 say their pet is inquisitive; and 20 own a stubborn pet. Forty-five percent of pet owners say that their pets are better listeners than spouses, friends and family fam-ily members. Maybe that is because they don't read the paper while you talk. Forty-seven percent of pet owners say their furry friends most often snooze on their beds, while another anoth-er 26 say their pets catch a nap on a pet bed. Only 14 sleep on the floor. The world's smallest cat is a three-pound Illinois resident named Mr. Peebles. Pee-bles. But Mingo, a Maine coon from Turku, Finland, wins the longest whisker category at 6.8 inches. t i t t i t 1 1 1 i i titititiiiitititititititiiti I WW ! l .v.W 4 .7 Three elementary, junior high and high schools were used for students who were found by recruiters for the program.
