Approximately 85 million homes in the United States have a pet, and about half of those have more than one.  With so many pet households, there was no question that there needed to be a “National Pet Month.” The first National Pet Month was organized by the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters -NAPPS (https://petsitters.org/) in 2006.   Most years have a theme, and this year it is “Companions for Life”, which aims to raise awareness of not only responsible pet ownership, but also to recognize the bond between humans and animals and the positive effects they have on our physical and mental health. Pets are excellent companions, no matter if we are grouchy, happy, or sad. Whether we are having a great day or struggling with the everyday nuances of life, they stand beside us. They do not care about our physical appearance, what job or amount of education we have, or if we live in a mansion or are destitute.  They love spending time with us, no matter what we are, or are not, doing.  Their constant companionship is treasured beyond measure, especially

While attending the 2024 American National CattleWomen Region VI meeting in Las Cruces, New Mexico, we heard a speaker talk about “The Value of a Volunteer.” New Mexico CowBelle President Michelle Greeman made many interesting points. The 103rd Red Bluff Round-Up was successful because of the many volunteers at all the events that preceded the three days of rodeo.  Imagine what would have happened if our community of volunteers hadn’t stepped up for the rodeo, parade, mixer, pancake breakfast, luncheon, etc. ANCW members are professional volunteers since we volunteer our time for beef promotion and outreach education in local communities and across our states. We join ANCW and our local units because we believe in promoting the beef industry, want to help, want to be involved in something bigger than ourselves, want camaraderie with like-minded women, and love tradition. The difference between volunteers and members is that volunteers give their time freely to better a cause, while members pay to be part of an organization and expect benefits as part of their membership. We want to feel and find value in being members, and this

OAKLAND — There were a trio of occasions on Friday night where the Marlins seemed poised to scratch across, at the minimum, a run or two against JP Sears. All three times, Sears, with a little help from his defense, slammed the door en route to turning in one of his finer starts of the year. On a relatively lively evening at the Oakland Coliseum, Sears tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings, Brent Rooker hit his sixth home run, Lucas Erceg recorded his second save and the Athletics (16-17) bested the Marlins, 3-1, to win their fifth straight game. “JP’s done a nice job of controlling the emotions,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “He’s done a nice job of recognizing when it gets to spiraling that he needs to focus on making and executing a pitch and getting an out.” The outing was a bounceback for Sears, who allowed seven earned runs, tied for the most he’s surrendered in a single start, to the Orioles across 6 1/3 innings in his last appearance. If there was a theme for Sears on Friday night, it was his
