aring Month
“She’s pretty true to herself!” Madison states. “She’s very relaxed. Accept when we have company over. Then she’s all over our guests. She’s very much a people dog. She gets along with other dogs, but she’d much rather be on the couch with the humans.” Dottie remains a good girl. However, she does have a slight criminal record. “We took her to the Market Pet Shop for puppy training,” Madison recalls. “And after the session, for the last fifteen minutes, they let the dogs go rogue and play with each other. But Dottie, because she’s not interested in other dogs, would run to all the other owners for pets. And then while everyone was distracted, she stole a pig’s ear.” Despite this initial brush with the law, Madison reports that Dottie is afraid of absolutely everything. “She’s scared of her own shadow!” Madison laughs. “She does not bark. If she sees an empty box laying on the floor, she’ll cower behind us. Whereas our cat will just jump into the depths and claim it.” So, if you happen to see the Lealesses out and about with this good girl in tow, make sure to stop and give her some pats on the head! (Dottie herself declined to comment.) Those interested in having their pets featured in future issues are welcome to send their images and descriptions to michael@villagerpublications.com.

Pet of the Month: Dottie Pets are our friends. Often our best friends. Which is why here at the Komoka/Kilworth/Delaware Villager , we’ve decided to add a new monthly feature to our magazine: Pets of the Month! In this, we’ll be sharing stories about our favourite furry friends and all the fun ways in which they enrich our lives. Beginning our maiden voyage is Dottie Lealess, a five-year-old golden retriever. Protect your hearing with these three pillars: • Manage Noise: Follow the 60/60 rule (no more than 60% volume for a maximum of 60 minutes at a time) and wear earplugs in loud settings. • Ear Care: Avoid use cotton swabs, keep ears dry to avoid infection. • Ototoxicity: Consult your doctor about medications that might damage your hearing. The best way to ensure a lifetime of clear sound is through early detection. By prioritizing your hearing today, you are protecting your brain, your safety, and your connection to the world. 10 % Limited Time offer off Her parents, Madison and Josh, first moved to Komoka in 2021. And they decided to commemorate this occasion by adding another furry companion to their new home. “What drew us to her at first was her coat color and her temperament,” Madison explains. “There were all these little balls of fluff! Some of them were very active. Others were just sleeping on the floor. She seemed to be the perfect combination of craziness and calmness. And we specifically wanted a female!” Since then, little Dottie has proven to be a valued addition to their home. Taking the First Step The theme of Speech and Hearing Month is awareness and action. Hearing loss often creeps up gradually, making it hard to notice the change yourself. If you find yourself asking others to repeat themselves, turning the TV up louder than others prefer, or struggling in noisy restaurants, it’s time for a check-up. This May, I encourage you to prioritize your hearing. It isn’t just about your ears, it’s about your heart, your mind, and your happiness. IS YOUR ROOF 7+ YEARS OLD?
