Red Phone: Grass needed at dog park

“Will there be any improvements regarding the doggie park in Gilroy? The last time I was there with my little dog, it was just me the dog and three men sitting on the grass near the entrance to the doggie area, each had their own brown bag they were drinking from. I decided to go the doggie park in Morgan Hill. The people that I did talk to at the Morgan Hill park lived in Gilroy. What does that say for our little town? I can't walk my dog in my neighborhood, because I live in a mobile home park, that does not allow dogs to be walked, even with a leash in one hand and a pick up poop bag in the other. It sure would be nice to see some grass, trees and water for the little dogs. Benches would be nice so people could sit and just watch the little dogs playing. Thanks for listening.”

Life of veterinarian is about the little things

She was larger than life to my brothers and sister and me. Smarter than any other feline, she could open doors and find her way inside the walls of our very old house. But more than anything, she changed our father into a devoted cat person. I first wrote about Murphy 17 years ago, when I talked with a 6th grade student about euthanasia. Here, once again, is that story...
