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

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. 


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. 


I will refrain from improving anybody 

but myself. 


I will accept what is. I will face reality. I 

will correct those things that I can correct 

and accept those I cannot. 


I will improve my mind. I will read something 

that requires effort, thought and concentration. 

I will not be a mental loafer. 


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. 


I will gather the courage to do what is right and 

take responsibility for my own actions. 


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
