'Retired' Couple Keep Dog Kennel By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Most women would be discouraged by the prospect of spending their golden age years as foster mother to 25 dogs, but Mrs. Della Barnett wouldn’t have it any other way. She and her husband. Dr. Robert Barnett, “retired” about 12 years ago to a farm near Franklin after he had practiced for more than 40 years as h veterinarian at Martinsville and Franklin. “We decided we would open a home kennel and we usually have about 25 dogs,” she explained. Barnett also continues with his veterinary practice but does not go out on calls any more. The Barnetts will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this year. Sees Vet, Marries Him “My father had a farm between Edinburg and Franklin.” Mrs. Barnett explained. “One day this new veterinarian was doing work on my father’s farm and I went down to the barn to watch. We were married Oct. 3. 1913, and I’ve been part of the business ever since.” Barnett, the son of a Franklin attorney, was graduated from a I veterinarian college in 1907 He and his wife have no children. “But dogs are- much like children,” Mrs. Barnett explained. “They need love, exercise and good food,” She and her husband personally t prepare and serve the food for the dogs iii’the kennel, and each day turn them out into a large fenced yard for exercise. “Dogs are more sensitive than most people realize,” Mrs. Barnett said. "Sometimes a pet will be brought to us because there is some trouble in the family, like sickness. You can tell the dog is upset.” The Barnetts have kept some pets for as long as two years, and frequently care for dogs whose owners are away on long trips. ——“We have one little ‘girl’ now we’ve had for six months while her owner is in South America,” Mrs. Barnett explained. Never Been Bitten During their 12 years of kennel operation, the elderly couple has had no injury. “I think we have been very fortunate. We’ve never even been bitten,” Mrs. Barnett explained. “Dogs respond to love. They know if you like them or don’t like them. Once we had a big bulldog which was supposed to be very vicious but we became friends.” Dogs also have “horse sense,” _l Mrs. Barnett believes- . “A dog has a wonderful sense of direction and sometimes one will run away and make his way back to his home. But if he tries and can’t find his family, he will turn around and come back to * us,” she said. 0 Q Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee o Sour-Milk Cleanser Don’t throw away sour milk after it is too old for other uses.
