It’s an event with doggie style!
The second annual Welsh Terrier
Stink Eye Convention wags on November
1-4, 2018 in Southern Pines.
About 80 canines and their owners
from across the United States and
foreign counties including Australia,
Canada, England, Mexico and Wales
will be united to raise money for WT-
CARES, a non-profit Welsh Terrier rescue
organization.
The goal of the weekend is to raise
money for Welsh Terrier Cares as the
funds are used to rehome dogs and
take care of any health needs that
they have prior to placing them into
loving homes.”
The weekend begins with a visit to
Pooch Park in the Pines on Friday,
Nov. 2, followed by lunch at Ironwood
Café. Events on Saturday, Nov. 3 include
a terrier-ific Welsh Terrier Walk
through downtown Southern Pines
from 10:30am until noon.
The highlight of the weekend is a special
fundraising gala will be held on
Saturday evening at Hampton Inn &
Suites by Hilton where owners dress
up their four-legged friends for a festive
costume contest.
The town of Aberdeen is also supporting
the event as WTCARES has been
presented with a proclamation from
mayor Robert Ferrell that Saturday,
November 3rd will be officially known
as “Welsh Terrier Day”.
WTCARES was formed as a committee
of the Welsh Terrier Club of America
in the early 1980’s.
With a mission to rescue Welsh terriers
in need and to rehome them.
WTCARES became a charitable trust
established by the WTCA in 2007
with its own trustees and treasury.
Welshes come to WTCARES for many
reasons.
Perhaps an owner has moved and
cannot take their dog with them or
the owner has become ill and is unable
to look after their Welsh any longer.
We also rescue Welshes from shelters,
wondering lost in the streets,
and those turned over from commercial
breeders.
WTCARES is also an organization
that Welsh Terrier owners can turn
to for educational purposes; helping
welshie families understand the
breed and the dogs feisty, independent
personality.
Rescues are fostered by volunteers
and evaluated to determine their
temperament, training, and suitability
for placement.
Our application process, interviewing
of prospective matches, and home
visits help us match the right dog to
family.
We continue to have contact with and
support of family and dog through the
years.
All rescues are up to date on shots,
have been spayed or neutered, and
any health issues, testing, and treatment
done before placement.
For more information about WT-
CARES, or about this event, please

Here’s a look at the 2018 adoption numbers
from over 1,200 shelters across the country.
TOTAL PETS ADOPTED
As Of August 24th, 2018
Grand total since 2015: 248,175
94,524
NBC and Telemundo owned stations are teaming up with hundreds
of shelters across the country to host Clear the Shelters,
a nationwide pet adoption drive beginning Saturday, August 18
to help find loving homes for animals in need.
Heading off to college for the first
time and leaving the comforts of
home can be a difficult transition.
And for students leaving an animal
companion behind, the move can feel
even more difficult.
While most schools have a strict no
pet policy for campus housing, some
offer special accommodations for
students to help ease the process.
From lizards to horses, each school
has a different pet policy, including
restrictions on age, weight, cage, and
sometimes, whether or not the animal
was a family pet before entering
college.
While service animals on campus
were once used only exclusively as
guide dogs for students with visual
impairments, today schools are grappling
with a rise of “emotional support
animals.”
As diagnoses of anxiety, depression
and other mental health problems
among college students reaches
record highs, according the Center
of Collegiate Mental Health, so has
the prescription of these pets, also
known as comfort animals, for their
soothing abilities.
Whether or not a school agrees that
these animals are therapeutic is besides
the point; imposing an outright
animal ban for all students could vi
olate federal law prohibiting discrimination
in housing. So which college
is most pet-friendly? According to Animal
Planet, Eckerd college.
Residents may choose from 14 residence
halls that permit dogs, cats,
rabbits, ducks, chinchillas and ferrets.
In addition, small pets in cages
are permitted in all residence halls.
Students also have access to a local
veterinarian who does pet health
checks twice a year.
Outgoing pets at Eckerd are honored
at a separate graduation ceremony.

Every year, hundreds of homeless
animals pass through the doors of
the Moore Humane Society’s “no-kill”
shelter. Virtually all of these homeless,
abandoned or abused animals require
some degree of medical care ranging
from minor to extensive.
SAVE AN ANIMAL · SAVE A LIFE
While our willingness to help is
unlimited, our financial resources are
not. In 2017 we spent $45,000. to
cover veterinary costs for life-saving
operations and to cover spay-neuter
procedures. This year due to extensive
injuries our costs will easily exceed
$50,000. Please help us raise the
money we need to continue providing
our furry friends with the best medical
care they so much deserve.
All donations are tax-deductible as we
are a registered 510(c)(3) nonprofit
charitable organization.

winning in 72’ , but all of the food
and drinks being so cheap.
This is the first time I had the “privilege”
of having a pimento cheese
sandwich. It is as special as Rae’s
Creek, the Green Jacket or Amen
Corner at the Masters.
What you can devour is a sandwich
of two names and five ingredients,
a quick item to grab at the Masters
concession stands.
Some call it the “Caviar of the South”.
It comes sealed in green plastic, a
color that blends in with the Augusta
National in case the wrapper goes
fl ying around.
They drink mint juleps at the Kentucky
Derby, and eat Big Dodger
Dogs in L. A. No one is sure how the
Pimento Cheese Sandwich became
the signature taste of the Masters,
beginning with its debut in 1934.
While scrummaging around my
Mom’s old cookbook at Seven Lakes
I came upon an old yellowed faded
recipe for the “Southern Caviar...”
RECIPE
2 cups shredded extra-sharp
Cheddar cheese--8 ounces cream
cheese-- softened--1/2 cup mayonnaise--1/4
teaspoon garlic powder--1/4
teaspoon ground cayenne
pepper--1/4 teaspoon onion powder--1
jalapeno pepper, seeded and
minced--1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento,
drained--salt and black pepper to
taste.
Place the Cheddar cheese, cream
cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder,
cayenne pepper, onion powder,
minced jalapeno, and pimento into
the large bowl of a mixer. Beat at
medium speed, with paddle if possible,
until thoroughly combined.

W.R Purche
Here are just a few of the amazing and adorable
reasons why dogs are the best pets in the world:
They’ll greet you like you’ve been gone a century
when you only went out for a five-minute trip to the store.
They keep your bed warm for you when it gets cold at night.
Dogs will watch TV with you without hogging the remote.
Dogs find the greatest joy in even the simplest of things,
like a ride in the car.
Dogs are the best because, unlike people (and most cats),
they love you unconditionally.
They know how to take awesome selfies.
Dogs will inspire you to stop and sniff the flowers.
And, according to the American Heart Association,
owning a dog may even protect you from heart disease.

Christmas 4 Moore in Need of
Sponsors to Serve an
Additional 100 Families
Christmas for Moore, a local nonprofit,
served more than 300 families in
2016 with basic needs and gifts for
area children with a goal of not leaving
any empty stockings for those
who registered last year. Everyone
was served who applied.
Four events held last month throughout
the county have demonstrated an
even greater need for 2017, with an
additional 100 families, or 350 individuals,
including children and adults
are still in need of adoption.
Working with these local families
and recognizing the needs exceed
available sponsorships, Christmas
for Moore’s dedicated volunteers are
seeking local businesses, churches
and individuals to help ensure these
families too, find joy in the upcoming
season of giving.
Christmas for Moore has had very
generous sponsors in the past, and
we need their continued support,
said Eleanora Voelkel, one of the
group’s volunteers and steering committee
members.
However, this year, “we need new
sponsors to come forward and offer a
helping hand, she added. Each family
who registered was told that we will
do our best to sponsor them, and,
in the past, we have always found
a sponsor for each family. We pray
this year will be the same and that no
family will need to be turned away.”
Sponsors are matched with an individual
or family and choose how to
support the needs. A Food Lion Gift
card based on the size of the family
is given to provide a Christmas meal.
Those interested in sponsoring a
family or making a donation to the
group may contact
Voice mail: 910-947-4438, email
Christmas4Moore@gmail.com or
mail donations directly to Christmas
for Moore, PO Box 938, Carthage,
NC. 28327
“Everyone involved in the program
has been so blessed in the process
of providing gifts and food for these,
our local neighbors in time of need.
Every family truly appreciates and
needs the support of their community,
Voelkel said.”

to understand the meaning of the
winter holiday season, there will
often be guests visiting, and in the
subsequent bustle, it will be easier
for your dog to bring harm upon
himself. Keeping in mind that the
holidays can present dangers to
dogs, and understanding what those
dangers might be can help guarantee
that your best friend will be in
good shape to greet the New Year.
Thanksgiving, Christmas and the
holiday season in general will see
a great deal of candy in evidence,
including chocolates. Chocolate is
poisonous to dogs - the problem
element is theobromine, and it will
not take much to make a dog sick,
or even cause the dog’s death. The
darker the chocolate, the more danger
for your dog.
Skip giving your best friend your fruit
cake this year, too. Grapes and raisins
are both poisonous to dogs. Any
other cookie or cake that contains
raisins, almonds, or currents should
be on the forbidden list. Dieters who
are substituting xylitol for sugar to
save on calories should keep any
treats prepared with this sweetener
away from their dog. Xylitol will
cause a rapid and potentially fatal
drop in blood sugar in dogs.
The holidays mean that a great deal
of fatty food will be in evidence, and
fat trimmed from ham, roasts, or
the roast bird can pose problems for
your dog. Too much fat can bring on
an episode of pancreatitis, which is
painful at best, and life-threatening
at the event.
Tinsel is sometimes looked upon as
a delicacy by dogs. Eating tinsel can
result in intestinal blockage, which
will necessitate a trip to the vet’s to
handle. Glass ornaments that fall
off the tree and shatter can also
be eaten by dogs, especially puppies.
The Christmas tree can cause
problems for your dog in several
ways: dogs can knock over the tree
either accidentally or deliberately, or
the dog might eat some of the pine
needles. Once inside your dog, pine
needles will act in much the same
way as bones; puncturing the tissues
of the intestines and stomach. They
Those lovely snow globes often have
an antifreeze-based fluid inside
them. If these break, a dog could lap
up poison that could cause kidney
failure. It’s no secret that people
tend to consume a greater than
normal amount of alcoholic beverages
during the holidays, and some of
these can be attractive to your dog,
especially a drink like eggnog. Holiday
punch may also smell good to a
dog, so keep any drinks that contain
alcohol well out of the dog’s reach.
Puppies, and some older dogs, too,
will often chew on electrical cords.
While you may have taken care to
keep your usual cords safe from
canine teeth, lights on the tree and
other decorations can present additional
hazards, so take care to keep
all pets away from electric cords.
Don’t let your dog get lost outside
during the holidays. With the arrival
of company, the door will be open for
much longer than it is usually, and a
dog that has become nervous with
all the new people and happenings
may bolt out.
Making sure that your dog is wearing
his or her tags or has been
micro-chipped are ways of assuring
that you will get your lost pooch back
as quickly as possible. Keeping your
dog safe and healthy over the holiday
season isn’t difficult; it just takes
a bit of forethought and planning.
The water in the reservoir is also a
danger for cats. Sap from the tree
that settles in the reservoir is toxic,
as are any tree preservatives used to
extend the life of the cut tree. Once
believed to be deadly for cats, it’s
now known that the poinsettia is
mildly toxic. Ingestion can cause irritation
to the mouth, esophagus and
stomach. Spray the plant with a bitter
anti-chew spray if your cat shows
an interest in your holiday poinsettia
plants. Holly and Mistletoe can
cause extreme intestinal problems
and can even cause a severe drop
in blood pressure. Both plants can
cause breathing problems and intense
abdominal pain.
