Don’t leave
pets behind
Residents facing foreclosure who are
unsure what to do with their family pets,
and realtors looking for information about
abandoned pets are invited to attend free
workshops on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Antioch Animal Shelter,
300 L St., and Sunday, Oct. 19 from 1
to 3 p.m. at the offi ce of Alain Pinel Realtors,
813 First St. in Brentwood.
Homeowners are required by state law
to notify Animal Control that there is a pet
in the house should they be unable to fi nd
a home for their pet or place it responsibly.
Abandoning pets is a misdemeanor and
carries a $1,000 penalty for each act. Just
a few minutes of your time can help save
thousands of our innocent friends.
A guide for people struggling to keep
their pets can be found by logging on
to www.eastbayspca.org/resources/fore
closureandpets.cfm or by calling 510-
569-0702.
OK from page 6A
real. They send the thing to 10 people they
know (who were once considered friends
before they received the cursed chain letter)
and then breathe a sigh of relief.
For the record, people (and Mom), if
you want me to keep forwarding those free
Jamba Juice coupons and World Market
Friends and Family discounts to you, you’d
better take me off the chain letter list, Oklahoma?!
So maybe I’m not very savvy in this
high tech age. I couldn’t care less. All I know
is I miss my kitchen wall phone with the
enormous cord. That phone never died on
me when I waited on hold for 20 minutes
for the Dell computer customer service guy
in India named Steve. (Yeah right, like your
name is really Steve.)
When I fi nally upgraded to our cordless
phone, I could never fi nd the thing! It
was missing for a couple of days. We fi nally
found it in a basket of dirty laundry (talk
about your dirty phone calls).
I just want to reassure my friends that
I’m not neglecting them all intentionally,
and I’m sorry that I missed the Pampered
Chef party. It’s just that I’m old fashioned
and respond better to tried-and-true methods
of communicating – like carrier pigeon.
