are a small 501c3 NFP consisting of volunteers who are passionate about dog parks and responsible dog ownership. HDPA has been incorporated for over 10 years and was the main catalyst that got dog parks started in Houston, beginning with Millie Bush Park in 2002. We have been inactive the last few years and are currently reviving the organization to advocate for dog parks more actively. We each spend a few hours a week wokring to educate about dog parks, responsible dog ownership, advocating for dog parks that need improvement, and promoting the need for more dog parks.

We have a book keeper volunteer that is a CPA. The ideal candidate would be able to attend one monthly meeting of the Board at 7 pm on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. You will also attend the quarterly Membership meetings held at 3 pm on the third Sunday of the month that begins each quarter. The next one is in January. We also hold about one event per month on average to raise funds and awareness and we ask our Board to try to attend these events as their time permits. Please submit your resume and experience for consideration. Please include a paragraph telling us why you would be a good candidate.

We are seeking an experienced NFP Treasurer to plan and manage the small yearly budget for HDPA and oversee the book keeper as well as mantaining and adivising on HDPA's tax and non profit status

and filings. Someone with training or knowledge of NFP budget and issues or direct NFP experience is preferred.

Woof! Woof!Rescuing Dogs - I am with Pup Squad Rescue and we are in

immediate need for fostering or permanent adoption for many types of dogs. We get full blooded dogs, mixed breed, puppies, large and small, you name it and we rescue. If you foster Pup Squad picks up the bill for any medical needs and their vaccinations. We hold adoptions all over Houston and you are welcome to take them to help them find a good home. They are also listed on pet finder. You will be the one that picks their forever homes and if you don't feel comfortable with one of the applications you do not have to adopt them out. It will be your decision.

We have many dedicated people helping get them off the street but we still need help. If you can share some love and attention and a place for them to lay their weary heads please feel free to contact Pup Squad directly from the website. www.pupsquad.org Thank you! EV Resident – Cathy Genser Thanks Cathy for the wonderful job you do for all our furry friends! We definitely need more people in this world like you – Also kudos to Janet Walden who does the same rescue job with cats!!!

HEAltH BRIEFSBaylor College of Medicine

DON’T LOSE SLEEP OVER NIGHTTIME BED WETTINGGiving children control over bed wetting helps them overcome not

only the nighttime nuisance but also the stigma of it, say doctors at Baylor College of Medicine.

“Because studies have yet to identify the cause of nighttime bed wetting, no one treatment is guaranteed to work for everyone. Nevertheless, the course of action with which the child is most comfortable tends to produce the best outcome,” said Dr. Edmond T. Gonzales, Jr., professor of urology at BCM. “With parents’ support, giving children an active role in treatment builds confidence.”

Some of the treatment options include prescription medications. One commonly used medicine makes the body react as if dehydrated so the kidneys retain liquids overnight. Another treatment involves an alarm system worn in pajamas that sounds when it becomes wet.

More commonly, doctors suggest parents limit the amount of liquids children drink in the evening and schedule a bathroom break before bed. Gonzales said family doctors can help rule out any major health problems that could be contributing to bed wetting before discussing the many options.

CELL PHONE USAGE MAY SEND WRONG MESSAGEIf you roll your eyes when people are chatting away on their cell

phones in a public place, you’re not alone. According to an expert at Baylor College of Medicine, public cell phone use may show disrespect and impede social interaction.

“Depending on the situation, cell phone use can be problematic,” said Dr. Catherine Barber, assistant professor in the Menninger department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at BCM. Talking on your cell phone at social events conveys that other people’s time is not as important as yours. Loud cell phone talk can intrude on others’ privacy and need for quiet, and it can even make people feel uncomfortable.

Romero suggests talking quitely if you must use the phone, or excusing yourself to take a call and making it brief. She suggests not accepting non-urgent calls. It’s important to be mindful and respectful of others around you, said Romero.If someone around you is disturbing you with their cell phone conversation, Romero suggests gently approaching them and asking them to reduce their volume. It’s important to convey that you are not angry. If they refuse, remove yourself from the situation.
