nnie adopted us around 1997 — she had been our neighbor’s cat for a period of years. Her previ-

ous owner was an actress named Ne-dra Volz who played the housekeeper on the show Different Strokes. When Nedra moved to Arizona, Annie was left to fend for herself. She decided that we were the ideal family with two cats already, Bud and Eight-Ball. She imme-diately ruled the roost being the only female, and Bud and Eight-Ball decided it was easier to accept her than to get smacked everyday so they allowed her to be spoiled.

Well, Miss Annie survived them both and has always been the princess of the 11th Green. Each year we think that it may be Annie’s last, but she is one amaz-ing feline. Her internal clock keeps us on our toes, as it appears to be her job in life to wake us up at 4 a.m. and then again at 5:30 a.m. Once her job is com-plete, she trots off to her bed and goes back to sleep.

I attribute her longevity to Dr. Julie

McClaine as she has determined that Annie is now 27 years old and in good health. She is the sweetest and coolest cat that I have ever had — and I have always had a cat in my life.

Thank you, Annie, for finding us.— Joe and Deborah Brady

e all want our dogs to pay attention to us. It starts with the way we train. First, we need to pay attention to our dogs. Casually ask-

ing a dog to perform an action doesn’t work well in training.

If we want our dogs to focus on us, we need to focus on them. When training, we need to watch our dogs and reward and correct as needed. Timing is impor-tant so that dogs can relate the reward or correction to the behavior they are learning. Too much time be-tween a behavior and its consequence make it difficult for a dog to make the correction. The window of time is very small if we want to maximize our dogs under-standing and minimize training times.

Voice is important in training. Asking or pleading with a dog is not very effective. Threatening and yell-ing is also not very effective. Fear leads to a dog want-ing to escape the situation. A command should be given in a normal firm confident tone. This allows the dog to feel confident in the trainer. Likewise, a weak command does not convey confidence.

Commands should be given before the action. This allows the dog to think about what is expected. The order used should command, action, and consequence (praise or correction). If heeling a dog; we say “heel”, then step forward, then praise or correct. Sequence is important to canine comprehension.

Once the dog understands the command, the dog should be trained around distractions. The dog should learn to pay attention even when a ball rolls by, a loud noise occurs, or a cat meows. Training in these situa-tions requires the dog to be confident in its trainer. If the trainer is calm and consistent the dog will learn to be calm and consistent.

Fear is not an effective technique to use in training. A dog that is afraid to make a mistake will eventually perform the proper behaviors. However, training will begin with the dog trying to escape the consequences, be it yelling or physically punishing the dog. Training progress will be slowed by the need to escape, a lack of confidence, a poor working attitude, and an unhap-py dog. The trainer’s joy of accomplishment will lack the interactive playfulness of dog and trainer.

Consistency is always important. Commands should be consistent, using the same word and tone of voice. Mistakes on the part of the dog should not be met with laughter or yelling. These actions lead to confusion. Interrupting training focus with outside conversations and actions is also confusing to dogs. A command, action, and consequence should continue in sequence.

Training requires a particular mindset by trainer and dog. Training can be firm but it is work time. When training a behavior is over, a command to re-lease the dog from the training mindset is important. It allows the dog to relax.

Training should always begin and end on a positive note. Always end training with the dog doing some-

thing successfully and being properly and happily rewarded.

All of the above may seem like common sense and so it is. The human-canine relationship is important in training. We should assume that dogs want to re-

t’s pronounced “Me-Ola,” the Hawaiian word for “Survivor.” It is the name of a rescued black and white mare that epitomizes the plight of unwant-

ed or neglected horses.Each rescue horse comes with a story that would

break your heart except for the intervention of dedi-cated people like Lalainia “Ann” Kline and friends.

Ann rescued Mea Ola and several others; eventu-ally she founded Mea Ola’s Place where she rescues, rehabilitates, and adopts out horses that come to her when there is nowhere else for them to go. She also trains horses and gives lessons to riders or po-tential adopters to gain confidence with their new horses.

The story started in January 2012 when Kern County Animal Control found itself holding more than 20 horses scheduled for auction. Most horses slated for auction actually end up at the slaughterhouse, so “Operation Horse Rescue” was born, the name given to the project that Ann and other volunteers and fos-ters carried out, working through a 501(c)(3) dog res-cue to move these horses out of harm’s way.

Ann fostered seven of the original group. Her skills as a veterinary technician — she has worked with both large and small animals — served her well.

The healthiest and youngest half dozen or so of the original herd were adopted immediately. The remain-ing horses presented a series of challenges ranging from advanced age to injury to overall condition.

Every horse was evaluated and received neces-sary vaccines and worming, dental work, pregnancy checks, x-rays and a Body Condition Score. Two hors-es received a score of 1 (Poor); three horses rated 2 (Very Thin). Of the horses rescued, only two of the original group rated a 5 (Moderate). A “Moderate” body score indicates a horse to be in good flesh.

Eventually OHR was dissolved because rescue and rehabilitation is time-consuming and expensive and many original volunteers dropped out. Ann was de-termined to keep her commitment to find or provide homes for the remaining horses. The number was 22 horses — the rescues plus her own.

One rescue was a pregnant mare already lame in both front feet and almost impossible to work with. Ann’s teenage daughters named her Mea Ola.

As you can imagine, trust must be established be-fore there can be any rehabilitation or retraining.

Ann had Mea Ola’s front feet x-rayed. The cause of her lameness was laminitis, inflammation of sensitive tissue or laminae inside the hoof wall. The mare got frequent farrier care, special shoes, a change of diet

— her meals were divided into six feedings every four hours.

Mea Ola received anti-inflammatories and even received acupuncture. Ann said. “I did not sleep a full night for eight weeks.”

Mea Ola required round-the-clock care for a sec-ond reason. No one knew her foaling date, and the veterinarian was not keen on palpating her so close

to the end of the pregnancy. Ann put Mea Ola on camera, live-streaming on the Internet via Marestare so she could share the unfolding story with viewers from 34 states and 13 coun-tries. They were also happy to be part of the team to alert one another to the pending birth.

On May 14 last year, Mea Ola de-livered a beautiful, healthy black filly now named Sassy. The good news kept coming when Mea Ola’s laminitis disap-peared. She still has a condition called low ringbone, a form of equine osteoar-thritis that creates moderate lameness, but that doesn’t stop her from kicking up her heels now and then.

Winters in Tehachapi began to take their toll on Ann and her family. After dealing with more than a dozen hors-es in three feet of snow, Ann spoke to her friend Brenda Hetzel of Oak Hills who knew of a vacant ranch available in Baldy Mesa. That’s where Mea Ola’s

Place is located today.Ann credits Drs. Dennis Love-

less and Megan Dispenza of Desert Mountain Veterinary for getting all the horses back to health and keeping them comfortable. She also praises the talents of shoer Rick Schultz, whose skill and patience have come in very handy.

Ann still keeps in touch with her worldwide circle of friends via Mare-stare, which now focuses on Sassy. The local fanbase is growing.

Ann is also looking to the future for Mea Ola’s Place because she has many plans.

“I acquired a DBA in June and final-ly, in November, became a non-profit corporation,” Ann said. She is com-pleting paperwork to submit to the IRS for tax-exempt status.

“My plan is to be able to use the ones waiting for forever homes and some that may need to be permanent residents to work as therapy horses for those with emotional disorders,” she said. She hopes to save more equine

lives and help heal the pain of children and adults in the community.

When Ann lived in Tehachapi, the group of volunteers came up with an “All Breeds, All Creeds” cookbook fundraiser filled with contributors’ recipes and photos and stories about each of the horses in Ann’s care. (See the side bar about upcoming activities at Mea Ola’s place as well as volunteer opportunities, sponsorships, the wish list and ongoing online auction infor-mation).

Of the original herd of 20-plus horses, only one, Ryder, went over the Rainbow Bridge. Ten have found for-ever homes and others are pending adoption.

Ann invites everyone to visit and “Like” Mea Ola’s Place on Facebook and to contact her for the chance to meet and spend some quality “horse time” at the Rescue.

She would especially like to intro-duce the community to Mea Ola, the rescue mare that helped form Ann’s vision and dream for Mea Ola’s Place.

Billy and TheresaBilly, his dam, and Theresa were

abandoned in a yard with two large dogs. Billy was three months old. When Ani-mal Control was called, they found that Billy’s mother had died, the dogs had at-tacked Billy and nearly destroyed his tail, and Theresa, who had developed milk to feed Billy, was also very thin and had a mangled rear leg that was infected.

Both spent six weeks at a veterinary hospital before being rescued by Opera-tion Horse Rescue.

Both have been adopted. Theresa is now a companion to her new family’s riding horse, and Billy is in Tehachapi and can already carry a saddle. His tail hair grew back and though it is short, he looks amazing.

throughout the relationship of owner and pet.
