STOP THAT BARKING
Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many
find relief in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity.
But, nothing is as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog
lovers. If your dog is a yapper or a yowler, please consider some of
these bark-abatement ideas to keep the noise down in your area.
Your neighbors will thank you!
• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral
problem! Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only
helps your dog, you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too.
You may get some insight into why your dog barks so much or
what it is trying to communicate.
• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock,
anti-barking collar and costs about the same. Available on the
web and in pet stores.
• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog
indoors or confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance
to neighbors.
• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle
street noise or leave a radio on to mask it.
• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need
companionship - a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day
visit from a pet-sitting service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s
place or a day-care facility once or twice a week.
Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom, may not
do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors may be getting
serenaded while you are away.

Glazed Apple
Cream Pie
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (15 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter, softened
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream and 1/4 cup butter. Heat until butter is
melted, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla; stir into saucepan. Cook
until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour and cinnamon. Mix well. Line a 9
inch pie pan with pie dough. Pour thickened filling mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Arrange apple mixture evenly over filling.
Top with second crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and
apples are tender. Cool for at least 30 minutes.
In small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Blend until
smooth; pour evenly over warm pie. Refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours before serving (longer is better). Source: allrecipes.com

JUST FOR TODAY By Dear Abby
This is one of the more popular requested columns from the famous advice columnist Dear Abby. Read
on: “Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones
and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which
were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon:
Just for today
I will live through this day only. I will
not brood about yesterday or obsess
about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching
goals or try to overcome all of my
problems at once. I know that I can
do something for 24 hours that would
overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for
a lifetime.
Just for today
I will be happy. I will not dwell on
thoughts that depress me. If my mind
fills with clouds, I will chase them away
and fill it with sunshine.
Just for today
I will refrain from improving anybody
but myself.
Just for today
I will accept what is. I will face reality. I
will correct those things that I can correct
and accept those I cannot.
Just for today
I will improve my mind. I will read something
that requires effort, thought and concentration.
I will not be a mental loafer.
Just for today
I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I
will be kind and courteous to those who cross
my path and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will
improve my appearance, speak softly and not
interrupt when someone else is talking.
Just for today
I will gather the courage to do what is right and
take responsibility for my own actions.
Just for today
I will do something positive to improve my
health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight,
I will eat healthfully - if only just for today.
And not only that, I will get off the couch
and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around
the block.

LIGHT JARS
Do you get that let down feeling in January once all
the decorations come down? My favorite part of the
holiday season is the lights and my husband teases
that YEAR ROUND I would have the inside of our
house looking like the Griswald’s outdoors if he let
me. (He is probably right, lol.)
So my compromise is that I get Mason jars, mayo or
pickle jars or even some vases and I use the battery
operated string lights to make “normal” decorations.
In one, along with the lights, I have the glass beads
you can get at the dollar store in many colors; in
another I have seashells we got in Galveston. I am
sure you can find something that would match your
own home and style to place in these.
So if you are like me and just need that pick-me-up
of some bright twinkling lights once the decorations
are all down, make one or more of these and have
them year round! - By Michelle Gray, KPC Editor
