“As mom began receiving hospice care, I quickly realized how much I didn’t know about meeting her needs. I had often felt alone on this journey, but now found immense relief to literally have partners in care. They taught me how to help her relax and find her peace.

Her last breath completely embodied her sweet spirit, and I felt deeply complete.”

Lifestyle Letter

For the Love of Animals

AUGUST 2017

I

love starting my day taking care of the animals in my life. As I walk out the back door each morning, our horse stands ready to greet me, with the sunrise as his background. I walk out to him, with our dog by my side. It’s a good way to start each day. These rare quiet moments allow me to reflect on how grateful I am for the animals in our family.

We’ve dedicated this issue to stories about pets. In one story, a particular dog—Doc, a labradoodle and a diabetic teen’s constant companion—stands out as being exceptional. Read this story to be inspired!

OSU-Cascades and Zagster—with help from local non-profit Commute Options—launched a bike-share program with 30 bikes at three stations on and near the OSU-Cascades campus in September 2016. The program provides students and university employees a convenient, affordable and healthy way to get around town.

“Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.”

—A. A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

Bend Lifestyle | August 2017

Bali, Leah and Luna Schock with Winnie and dogs Lizzie and Goose

B

ali Schock clearly listens to animals. A lover of four-legged friends her entire life, the incoming Summit High sophomore has always been around horses and dogs. Recently, she added a porcine friend to her circle. Perhaps not the pig you initially envision, Winnie the Pig is a

house pet enjoying the finer things in life.

With a blue bow clipped firmly to her forelock, Winnie prances across the living room floor,

headed snout-first for the comfort of her blanket bed. She rearranges the blankets ‘just so’ and lays down for a little nap.

“My parents said that as soon as we moved out of town, I could get a pet pig,” says Bali.

“She was my birthday present last year. I’ve always wanted one!”

Pigs are not allowed in homes within the Bend city limits, which means Bali endured a long wait. The Schocks moved to the country (Tumalo) just prior to Winnie’s arrival in July of 2016.

The family consists of Bali, mom Leah, a neuropsychologist, dad Todd, an oral surgeon, and sister Luna, an incoming 7th grader at Seven Peaks Middle School. “[Being on more land away from the city] is like a dream come true,” says Leah. “We’re outside so much more. The girls are outside all the time.”

Luna is an animal lover, too, yet her leaning is more toward the family dogs, Lizzie and Goose, and the new chickens. The aspiring gymnast loves spending time on the trampoline outside near Winnie’s outdoor quarters.

Winnie is most comfortable as the center of attention. Her coat, a bristly cinnamon brown and black with white markings, contrasts her one blue and one brown eye. The hooves seem more like dainty high-heeled slipper-shoes while her pink and black snout becomes flat like a platter when she raises her head for a treat. Her mostly straight tail—tipped in white—curls at its end.

WINNIE THE PIG (CON TI N U ED)

Not belonging to any specific breed, Winnie is a “mini pig” and can be expected to reach about 14” high and up to 40 pounds. She does require being in the care of a veterinarian trained to treat pigs.

Her hooves need to be filed every couple of months and she needs the same farm animal vaccines that horses and others receive. Her wide-ranging diet declares almost anything fair game.

“She is a great weed-eater,” Leah offers. “Yet we feed her mostly pellets and offer green space for grazing.”

In other ways, Winnie looks and acts a whole lot more like the family dogs than a pig. She comes when she’s called, she “barks,” and wags her tail. And she's not afraid to get dirty. After a recent rain, Winnie discovered her very own mud puddle in the yard near the trampoline and proceeded to apply a thick coating of the brown goo to every part of herself. This is a defense mechanism pigs have, as they are prone to sunburn and the mud acts as protection.

It’s charming to watch Bali and Winnie as they roam the property, clearly devoted to one another. Pigs are very discriminating when it comes to forming bonds with humans, as opposed to puppies. Winnie came from a breeder in California, arriving on a plane—landing at Robert’s Field in Redmond—to the delight of her new family. But, Winnie was not having any part of the warm greeting. She was quite reserved and only warmed up to Bali after the teen spent hours just being near her.

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”

—Winnie the Pooh “You need to spend a LOT of time with them at first,” Bali advises.

“They need a lot of attention. Give them a quiet, safe place. And, they need plenty of space both inside and outside to roam and play.”

Winnie used to sleep in Bali’s room, sometimes even on the bed, but her morning routine was a bit too early and loud for Bali. So now Winnie has that cozy pile of blankets downstairs in which to root around and burrow.

As they walk across the yard back toward the house, Bali and Winnie are in conversation. The girl offers soft, encouraging sounds and the pig eager to alternately squeal and snort in agreement.

DOC ON DUTY (CON TI N U ED)

A DOG AT SCHOOL At Skyview Middle School, the faculty did a great job of preparing students and families for Doc’s arrival. They recognized that not everyone is comfortable around dogs and wanted to ensure this would be a smooth transition.

“It’s been an awesome learning experience for the entire school, including the adults, on how to conduct yourself around a service animal,” says Jenny La Duca, a Social Studies and Language Arts teacher at Skyview.

Doc’s calm and steadfast support is there, no matter the surroundings. That middle school cafeteria? No problem. Horse shows? (Taylynn is an avid rider.) Sure! Band class? Yes! “This is typical of how Doc reacts in band,” instructor Keith Chaiet says, pointing to Doc curled up on the floor between Taylynn’s flute section and the timpani.

Soon, Doc won’t be the only on-duty diabetic alert dog on campus. His effectiveness and ability to blend in has prompted several other students who live with type 1 diabetes to consider the program.

Cheryl Chapman

Bend ceramics artist Annie Chrietzberg was accepted on her first try for the 2017 show. She is very aware of the strict adherence to the show criteria. The match is a good one for her, as she puts a lot of effort into keeping her art fresh. She makes functional pieces, coffee pots with pour-overs and pitchers and the like, and recently added trays that set groupings together.

“There’s nothing worse than doing a bad show,” says Chrietzberg.

“This was the one on the top of my list. I’m thrilled to have gotten into it the first time applying.”

The artists offer kudos to the jury for their ability to ensure that the final roster includes only art that displays: •

Excellence in craftsmanship.

HIGHWAY SHOE TREES BRING COLOR TO THE ROAD

HANGING HIGH D

riving along Highway 97 from Bend to Redmond, it’s almost impossible to

miss the colorful shoe tree on the east side of the road. The barely-alive juniper stands tall with dozens of shoes of all shapes, sizes and colors adorning the branches for onlookers admiring in wonderment.

In the United States alone, there are an estimated 76 shoe trees situated along major highways and thoroughfares. And, as with most shoe trees across the United States, there’s very little known about the origin of the Highway 97 shoe tree. There is, however, some symbolism in what’s known as ‘shoe tossing’ and why the shoes end high up on those branches. Some of these trees are dedicated for high school graduates, tossing up their old and worn footwear before heading off to college. Some trees are covered with hanging combat boots worn by soldiers who

have finished their call of duty.

The Highway 97 shoe tree holds a random mix of snow boots, kid and adult shoes, some with written messages on them. There are whispers that shoes from loved ones who have passed away also hang in memory. While some residents have said that the shoe tree is an eye sore, most people say that it’s become an accidental art installation for travelers.

Sadly, the original Highway 97 shoe tree, located about half way between Bend and Redmond, fell down in early 2016, seemingly because of weather and weight. A new shoe tree has emerged closer to Bend city limits and within a year and a half it has collected almost as many shoes as the original.

The fallen original shoe tree is still visible to drivers, however the new one has clearly made its debut as a part of our high desert landscape.
