  • You are your dog's only hope

    Ann Carroll, contributing writer|Jun 24, 2023

    Many shelters are full clear across our great country. There is no more space, and pets, especially dogs, are being euthanized daily. People are giving up their dogs due to housing problems, lack of funds, lack of time for pets and to family growth. Sometimes a new child means the pet has to go. There are no adopters, rescues are feeling hopeless and shelters must put the dogs to sleep. You are the only hope your dog has. On a typical day, an organization like Have A Heart Humane Society receives a minimum of seven phone calls asking if we can...

  • Four legged surprises

    Diana Frieling, contributing writer|Apr 29, 2023

    Mornings at the ranch are really busy and filled with surprises. Some of them have four legs. This year we have been blessed with a beautiful, chocolate baby camel born under a rainbow! We named him Finnian. Apparently we love him more than his momma, because she rejected him and we are raising him on a bottle. He loves people and would love to see you any Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., now through the end of October. We were stunned to have a really special baby reindeer born on Easter...

  • Let's make a beautiful noise

    Diana Frieling, contributing writer|Sep 3, 2022

    I know I have talked about the sounds at the ranch before. I love them all. A personal favorite is the drumming of the emu. Right now I hear the donkeys braying, impatient for their dinner. Every sound is distinct. I liken it to music. There are happy sounds and sad sounds, and then there is just plain noise, like the call of 13 fallow deer annoyed that their dinner has not yet been served. This got me to thinking. What do these critters think of the sounds we make? It really is kind of a mixed...

  • Meet the Tehachapi Dog Fanciers

    Linda Coverdale, contributing writer|Sep 3, 2022

    Way back in 1995, Barbara Allen and others decided that Tehachapi needed its own kennel club, and thus, Tehachapi Dog Fanciers was born. It was never meant for fancy breeds only, but intended to encompass all dogs – anything from Labradoodles to mutts. Revenue was hard to come by, so Barbara Allen started obedience classes for a small sum. Many dogs need to learn socialization and limits. Teri Kahn and her husband had a Dalmatian who was a holy terror, so she decided that the dog needed some con...

  • A fresh look at Have A Heart

    Ann Carroll, contributing writer|Sep 3, 2022

    For those of you who are new residents of Tehachapi or aren’t familiar with our articles, our little store, our volunteers and our adoptable critters, this may help you get to know us in a slightly different light. We are a nonprofit volunteer organization that we call a humane society, because we are not a shelter, we are not connected to the city or the county and we have to rely on the generosity of donors, patrons and our own hard work to carry out the main four visions that comprise our mis...

  • Summer cruisin

    Steve White, contributing writer|Aug 6, 2022

    Many of our readers know that Pepe and I have spent most of the 2021-22 winter months on Cruise Ship cruises along the Mexican Riviera. Sailing out of either Long Beach or San Pedro. Originally I had planned cruising would be a good way to spend some time during the winter months. I had great plans for spending the 2022 summer months doing something other than cruising. However, with the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, our cruising activity has continued. Royal Caribbean MS Navigator of...

  • More adventures with Pepe

    Steve White, contributing writer|Jul 23, 2022

    Pepe and I have spent most of the 2021-22 winter months with Cruise Ship cruises along the Mexican Riviera. Our ships sailed out of either Long Beach or San Pedro ... a short 3-hour drive from my home. Depending, of course, on traffic. Driving through the heart of Los Angeles during rush hour traffic can be challenging. The last 4-months have been aboard the Royal Caribbean MS Navigator of the Seas which sails weekly around Baja, California for 3-, 4- and 7-night cruises. Sometimes the ship stop...
