From last week,
Honey was adopted!
Schatzi is still wait-
ing to find a new, lov-
ing home.
Asia is an
American Pit Bull
Terrier. She may look
comfy all curled up
in the corner, but she
would be much more
cozy in a nice, warm
lap. She is a, sweet-
heart with beautiful,
unique markings and
a wonderful disposi-
tion to match. Her
previous owners sur-
rendered her
because they thought
she was too much
responsibility for
their lifestyle, so she
has been waiting at
the SPCA of Texas in McKinney
to find a new, loving home since
Nov. 20. (No. 1665511)
Spook is a four-year-old male
American Short Hair who has the
most handsome glossy black
coat and the loveliest yellow
eyes. Call him spunky, energetic
and lots of fun, but just call him
yours. He is sweet, lovable and
will never resist a scratch on the
chin. Spook's previous owners
moved and didn't take him with
them, so he has been waiting at
the SPCA of Texas in McKinney
to find a new, loving home since
Nov. 19. (No. 1736238)
Asia and Spook are waiting have been waiting for a home for
for you at the SPCA in McKinney, more than 30 days.

Few shoes for New Shoes program
BY KEVIN BOWEN
STAFF WRITER
An annual charity that col-
lects shoes for the needy as
Christmas presents is falling
short of its goals this year.

New Shoes for Little Feet pro-

gram, had hoped to collect 700
pairs of shoes to distribute to
local children who need them.
As of the middle last week,
he had collected only 11 pairs of
shoes to be handed out.
The program will hold its
annual party Saturday at the
police station, where they dis-
tribute the donated shoes.
Douglas hopes for an influx of
spare sneakers for the children
that he serves.
"Dec. 3 is in a few days and
there will be no shoes to give to
the kids," Douglas said.
With all the hurricane relief
efforts that have taken place in
the past year, Douglas said, he
believes much of the shortage is
due to the outpouring of dona-
tions for hurricane relief.
"I think it’s because of
Hurricane Katrina, but people
need to be reminded that [the
shoe program] is in their back-
yard and in their neighborhood."
The Colony Police Chief Joe
Clark said he has heard that and
he has heard that some charities
nationally are struggling due to
donor fatigue from hurricane
relief.
"It doesn’t surprise me with
all the hurricane relief and the
things that are being done," he
said, when told of the situation.
Douglas, a resident of The
Colony, has collected the shoes
as part of the program for near-
ly a decade and donated them to
poor children in the area.
The collection locations
include The Colony Police
Station, The Colony High
School, the city’s two fire sta-
tions Krogers, Payless Shoes
and the Golden Corral restau-
rant.
Douglas said the efforts are
important because for some of
the children it’s the only
Christmas present they will
receive.
"These are our kids that
we’re talking about here," he
said.

Diuretics or “water pills”
are common medicines
used in the treatment of a
variety of disorders. The
term diuretic is derived
from the Greek word
diourein meaning to uri-
nate. The purpose of a
diuretic medication is quite
simply to increase the
amount of water loss by
increasing the amount of
urine flow. Not surprisingly,
the diseases treated with
diuretic medicines are
those associated with fluid
retention and swelling, a
process called edema. The
most common diseases
associated with fluid reten-
tion are those of the heart,
such as congestive heart
failure, and the kidneys.
When the heart muscle is
weakened by heart attack,
long-standing high blood
pressure, or some other
heart muscle sickness, the
heart begins to enlarge
and water is retained to
help keep the blood flow to
the vital organs at an ade-
Diuretics
quate level. In kidney dis-
ease, damage to the deli-
cate structures necessary
to regulate the production
of urine results in fluid
build-up. In both types of
disorders, the fluid reten-
tion is apparent by short-
ness of breath, particularly
when walking or lying
down (due to fluid retention
in the lungs) and by
swelling of the feet and
lower legs due to fluid
retention in the tissues of
the body. It is in these
instances that the use of a
diuretic medicine to
increase the amount of
fluid loss through the urine
is necessary. Diuretic med-
ications come in a variety
of types. The particular
drug chosen in any given
patient is based upon a
variety of factors including
the disease itself and the
amount of fluid loss neces-
sary. Additional considera-
tion is given to other med-
ications taken by the
patient and any other med-
ical problems that may be
present.
A rrests
Travis Cody Smith, 21, of Plano,
was charged with burglary of a
building, theft of services and theft.
Bail was set at $5,000.
James Arthur Poulos, 35, of
Willis Point, was charged with
assault family violence. No bail was
reported set.
Patients
receiving
diuretic treatment are mon-
itored closely by the physi-
cian. The problems associ-
ated with the use of these
medicines include the loss
of potassium, an essential
chemical in the blood. In
many instances additional
potassium must be taken
by patients receiving
diuretic medications. Other
problems with diuretic use
include too much fluid loss,
resulting in low blood pres-
sure and dizziness, allergic
reactions to the medicines
and an occasional worsen-
ing of other problems such
as gout or high fat content
in the blood.
If you have questions
about the use of these
medications or others, see
your family doctor for
advice and counsel.
