with the loss of a pet
Learning how to cope
Share your feelings with close
friends and family so they can
support and encourage you.”
Griffin reminds pet owners
who are suffering from a loss to
remember their pet in a positive
light. Keeping pictures on the
shelves and other memorabilia
of the pet can also help owners
manage their emotions.
Dr. Stacy Eckman, a clinical
professor at Texas A&M, reveals
other ways that people cope with
the loss of a pet.
“Many people will rush to fill
the void with another pet, while
some people need more time to
open their heart to another pet,”
she said.
“Volunteering at shelters or
animal organizations can help
people cope as well.”
Children can be especially af-
fected by the loss of a pet. Some-
times parents struggle with giv-
ing their children an explana-
tion of why Fido is no longer
around to play. After recently ex-
periencing the loss of Scooter,
the family dachshund, Griffin
recommends being patient with
young children and encouraging
them to express their feelings.
“We had a memorial service,
shared memories about Scooter,
and placed flowers over his
grave,” she said. ‘We bought a
book called I’ll Always Lave You
by Hans Wilhelm to help our
daughter cope with the loss of
Scooter.”
Eckman adds that commu-
nication is very important in
helping children understand the
loss of a pet.
“Be honest with your chil-
with their pet’s death may be
guilt and loneliness. An owner
may have made the mistake of
letting their pet outdoors to play
with other animals, resulting in
a fight or attack. Getting hit by a
car is another danger pets can
face when their owners let them
play outside. Some owners may
even feel guilt for their pet’s
death because they did not take
them to the veterinarian after
discovering symptoms of a po-
tential disease or sickness.
Whatever the case maybe, many
owners also suffer from loneli-
ness after the loss of their pet.
“Pets are a part of our fami-
lies. Recognizing the way you
handle grief is important,” Grif-
fin explained. “The first step in
working through a pet’s death is
acknowledging the way you feel.
dren — they may understand
more than you think,” she said.
“Explain in very broad terms:
‘Fido was very sick and could not
do the things he really loved
with you any longer.’ Give them
space to grieve and an ear or
shoulder to grieve on.”
Companion animals have a
special talent for capturing our
hearts and allowing us to experi-
ence a truly unique and uncon-
ditional love. No matter the cir-
cumstances, losing a pet is never
easy. As an owner it is important
to keep the health and well-be-
ing of your pet in mind when
making decisions for the future.

For many of us, the con-
nection we share with
companion animals extends be-
yond just friendly company; our
pets are considered a part of the
family.
The truly unique love be-
tween an owner and their pet is
something one has to experience
to understand.
Although a pet may be a very
loved and important family
member, it is important to be
sensitive and aware of your pet’s
needs as they age.
Sometimes owners are faced
with difficult decisions when
their pet reaches an age or
health condition that no longer
allows them to enjoy daily activ-
ities. Dr. Sarah Griffin, lecturer
at the Texas A&M College ofVet-
C
GUEST COLUMN
erinary Medicine & Biomedical
Sciences, explains that euthani-
zation is never an easy choice,
but in some cases, it may be the
best option for your pet.
“One of my professors in vet-
erinary school told us that she
tells clients to pick the pet’s three
favorite things,” Griffin said.
“When two out of three of those
things are gone, it’s time to let
them go. Many pets will contin-
ue to eat and drink even when
they are in pain. Keeping a daily
record of good versus bad days
sometimes helps you see the
quality of life they are living.”

gles owners face when dealing

White Deer
Four hurt in fiery
gas line rupture
A natural gas pipeline explo-
sion and fire in a Texas Panhan-
dle town has left four workers
hurt, including two in critical
condition.
The Carson County Sheriff’s
Office says the accident hap-
pened Thursday night in White
Deer, about 35 miles northeast
of Amarillo.
Two men remained in critical
condition Saturday at University
Medical Center in Lubbock. A
hospital spokesman says two
other men were satisfactory.
The White Deer Volunteer
Fire Department says the explo-
sion occurred at a gas booster
station as crews worked on a 4-
inch gas line.
State and federal regulators
are investigating. Messages left
with the utility, West Texas Gas,
and the sheriff’s department
were not immediately returned
Saturday.
restaurateur whose chain re-
quires waitresses to wear bikinis.
Doug Guller bought the
ghost town in 2012 and re-
named it after his Bikinis Sports
Bar and Grill chain. The town,
about 75 miles northwest of San
Antonio, was intended to be-
come a tourist attraction tied to
the chain.
Since acquiring the 1.6-acre
property, Guller has built a hall
with a bar and sound and light
system for weddings and corpo-
rate events.
The Austin American-
Statesman reports the name
change is meant to appease
neighbors, who have complained
about rowdiness at events.

HOUSTON (AP) - As space-
age icons grow older, a foundation
to support would-be astronauts
looks beyond their fame for finan-
cial support
In 1984, six surviving Mercury
7 astronauts — Scott Carpenter,
Gordon Cooper, John Glenn,
Walter Schirra, Alan Shepard and
Deke Slayton — each pitched in
$1,000 to start a scholarship
foundation, the Houston Chron-
icle reported.
That project has grown from
seven to 36 scholarships a year,
valued at $10,000 each. Money
from book sales and speaking en-
gagements has kept the founda-
tion alive, even as some of the
founders have passed away.
‘As we look to the future, as we
are losing our legends, we’re not
able to keep moving in that same
direction,” said Tammy Knowles,
the Florida-based foundation’s
executive director.
The foundation is pivoting to-
ward corporations that want to
invest in science and mathemat-
ics education, Knowles said, add-
ing that she wants to expand the
number of scholarships to 60 by
2017. While astronauts will re-
main critical, financial support
will more likely come from board-
room appearances than proceeds
from their fame.
An astronaut scholarship in
2000 and 2001 allowed Christina
Hammock to focus on her studies
in science without having to wor-
ry about how to pay for it. In June
2013, Hammock was selected as
one of eight members of NASAs
21st astronaut class, marking the
first time a scholarship recipient
became an astronaut.
Hammock’s success was a vali-
dation for the foundation, said
Walt Cunningham, the lunar mo-
dule pilot in the Apollo 7 mission.
