Hi Neighbors,
Welcome to Tucson's cooler weather. With the change in climate, you will be noticing that our
landscape company will be over seeding with winter rye to provide for beautiful winter lawns.
All cameras have now been installed at both Gate houses, The Fitness Center, and The Rec.

New exercise equipment has been installed at The Fitness Center providing a more comprehensive work out for our residents. Free weights have also been added to the facility.
Please make sure that you complete the questionnaire regarding your personal information regarding the gate

issued at a later date. You will be notified by either snail mail or email.
Finally, If you have been contemplating re-painting your home, now is a good time to spruce up your home.....
and protect it from the elements.
Enjoy the cooler weather!

Kathy’s Pet Corner
Is your dog or cat microchipped? Have you checked to
see whether or not the animal you may have found is
microchipped?
n’t have a collar. He didn’t get along with her dog at
home, so she wanted me to find him a new home.
Upon picking up the dog I scanned him and sure
enough, his rightful owner had been searching for him!
She could not stop sobbing when we met and she got
her dog back! He did have a collar when he was taken
from her yard, so whoever had him took it off and he
was without his ID.
EVERY Veterinarian, the Humane Society, PACC, and
vaccine clinics will microchip your animal. The cost is
minimal but the benefits are huge. Not only will it help
return a live animal to you, but it can help identify your
dog/cat if it has been hit by a car and either needs
emergency veterinary help or has been killed.
This is a common question when dealing with lost/
found/stolen animals. I was reading a Facebook post
where several years ago a woman kept a dog that she
picked up ‘wandering on the road’. I asked if she ever
had the dog scanned for a chip and she answered,
“No, I’m sure no one wanted it as it didn’t have a collar”.
Truth be told, that dog may indeed have had a worried
owner who by some misfortune was separated from.
It may have gotten lost on a vacation, may have gotten
out of its enclosure during a storm, or may have been
stolen! Collars and animals often get separated. My
own cat HATES wearing a collar, so if he were to get
out and lost I do hope that someone would have him
checked for a chip. (Yes, all three of my animals are
chipped!) When I scan a purebred dog, if there is no
chip I will often look for a lip tattoo. Many hunting dog
breeders will tattoo for ID.
We had a lovely neighbor report she found a cat that
had made his way inside her house through her doggy
door. I took my scanner over to her residence and
yes, the cat was microchipped! Calling the chip company led me to PACC, which in turn led me to WSKR, a
local cat rescue organization. Messages were left and
hopefully he is now reunited with his new owner.
A few years ago an acquaintance contacted me and
asked me to take in a male Chihuahua that she had
found several weeks earlier near her work. Instead of
taking him to a Vet right away to have him scanned,
she kept him, assuming no one wanted him as he did-
Microchipping is fairly painless, one shot under the
skin at the shoulder. The chip is a specially coded ID
the size of a grain of rice. They are alpha-numeric
coded by each chip company. Veterinarian clinics,
Shelters, Vaccine Clinics, Rescues and other organizations are sold the chips by controlled lots. A scanner
is usually the size of a large remote control and will
work with all chips. My scanner has all the numbers of
the chip companies for ease of contact. The only way
a chip can be successfully used is by REGISTERING
the chip to YOU the animal’s owner. ( No, the chip
cannot ‘track’ where your animal is like a GPS, and is
NOT followed by ‘big brother’.) When your animal is
chipped, you get the paperwork with the identifying
number and are urged to register it if the organization
does not do it for you. (many will to ensure it does get
done). If you move it is as easy as going on line and
updating your information.
For the quick return of your animal, and for your peace
of mind, please get them microchipped. And, if you have found an
animal, give me a call and I’ll come
over and scan it.

posted at each gate. If you are having guests over for parties and TorT outings, please contact Daniel Castillo in advance with your guest list so the guards will allow them into the Lakes. Those visitors not on the
list will have to be cleared at the gate by calling the homeowner... and that will take time and be inconvenient. Daniel is at [email protected] or 520 297-0797. Thank you for your cooperation.
