Description

Her generous gift was ignored. Her son might find the offer of using the lake house denied the next time he asks. Getty Images.

Dear Eric: Perhaps my problem stems from the fact that I am a mid-80s mom? A couple of years ago, our very responsible son asked if he could invite about 10 friends to our large lakeside cabin during our absence. There is plenty of room for all to sleep, a big kitchen and boats and a nice lake for all to enjoy. We said fine.

Last week we had a special guest at the Lane County Sheriff’s Office with a special gift: a $500 donation to the K9 program! For the 4th year in a row, Bailey Lane organized a community yard sale to raise money for the program, which is entirely funded by donations. Bailey and her sister Blair presented the check to the K9s Hektor and Ripp (and their handlers Sgt. May and Deputy Warner). And of course they also got some pets and K9 swag! Thank you so much! All donations go directly to the K9 program to supply food, veterinary care, and equipment.
