A-4 Local Wednesday, Januar y 17, 2018 The Press-Dispatch JANUARY 22, 1973 - JANUARY 22, 2018 45 Years of Abortion In memory of the babies who have been killed by abortion since the 1973 Supreme Court Decision Legalizing Abortion "Abortion may be legal, but it is still morally wrong!" Ad paid for by Daviess & Pike County Right To Life: P.O. Box 41, Washington, IN. 47501 Email: dcrtl76@gmail.com | Website: www.daviesscountyrtl.com We join our nation in mourning the deaths of millions of innocent lives lost to abortion. We acknowledge the pain and anguish suffered by the many mothers and fathers who now regret that fateful decision. We pray for their healing. We only wish that mothers coming into the abortion chambers could see the "window into the womb" so they could see and understand what they are carrying. If allowed this vision, we believe they would choose life not abortion. How can you help in this battle against abortion? Educate yourself on the abortion issue and what it is doing to our society. Talk to your family members and friends and encourage them to support life and not abortion. Support the Right to Life Movement financially and also with your time and talent. Also, always vote pro-life, find out how the candidates stand on abortion before you vote. If not you may be supporting abortion by your vote. And finally, pray to end abortion.

SNOW DAY Don't forget about your pets during cold weather It's easy to let your dog outside in the backyard for a few minutes to get some exercise or use the bath- room. But, during the winter months, cold spells or deep freezes could be hazardous. "As temperatures drop below freezing, it is impor- tant to be aware of wheth- er a dog has been spend- ing lots of time outside in the fall, which would make it more acclimated to the cold weather, or whether it is primarily indoors," says Dr. Steve Thompson, clin- ical associate professor of small animal community practice at the Purdue Uni- versity College of Veterinary Medicine. As the temperature drops below 20 degrees, the amount of time a dog spends outside should be limited. He says that dogs should be out no more than a half hour and progressive- ly less time as the tempera- ture drops. Thompson also says that any clothing, even the cute sweaters from the pet store, can help in the cold weather. However, owners must make sure they stay dry or they lose their insulating abili- ty. There is no harm in leav- ing the sweaters on inside either, as long there are no strings or attachments the dogs could get a hold of and eat or get tangled up in their feet or jaws. Actual cold weather gear, like neoprene vests, is avail- able for dogs that are work- ing in the cold weather. He also says to make sure that there is a dry area near the door so that the dogs last step is not in melted snow from shoes. "If their pads get wet just prior to heading outside, this can be much more pain- ful when stepping on ice or walking through snow," Thomspon says. Snow salt should be removed when the dog returns inside to lim- it skin irritation and to pre- vent them from ingesting it.
