    DEAR ABBY: I would like to respond to "Solitary Woman in Ottawa, Canada," the expectant mom who asked how she could raise her child to enjoy "periods of quiet, reflective fun by himself."

In the Morgan Hill Police Department’s ongoing undercover “shoulder tap” operation to crack down on adults who might purchase alcohol for those underage, officers arrested a suspect for doing just that last month. 

The Pet Friends 5th Annual WagnWalk fundraiser is coming up, on June 22nd, 2013. It will be held at the Granite Rock Southside Quarry, in conjunction with the Granite Rock Open House there. Chose either the 5K run for two-legged competitors, or the 5k walk with or without your four-legged friend. Sweetie-pie says he'll be there, probably with his buddy Sammy. Go to the Pet Friends website at http://www.petfriends.org/. for more information and to sign up for the WagnWalk. Or call 831-634-1191 for more information.

Powder is available for adoption at Pet Friends. He is an older Flame-point Siamese cat, but he's not the talker that many Siamese cats are. He's kind of shy at first, but does warm up to people he is familiar withand loves a neck rub. He's usually relaxing on a cat tree in the cat room at Pet Friends; but would love to have a sunny spot at a home of his own. He's not agressive with other cats, and would love to have a quiet home of his own. Come by Pet Friends at 2975 Buena Vista Road in Hollister to see him in the cat room. See his picture on http://www.petfriends.org/, or call Pet Friends at 831- 634-1191.

    DEAR ABBY: I took care of my grandmother until her death a few years ago, and now my mother is very sick. I feel angry because I'm only 23, and it seems all I have ever done is take care of sick people. I sit at the hospital sometimes just fuming.

    DEAR ABBY: We moved my elderly parents into an adult assisted-living center last year because they were no longer able to safely care for themselves or their home. They have now decided to put their house up for sale. Our problem is that sometimes when we have driven by the house to check that everything's OK, we have found some of the neighbors enjoying the afternoon sitting on my parents' front porch.

    DEAR ABBY: I'm a 16-year-old girl. I am home-schooled with one friend. I'm lonely, sad, mad and depressed. I have always wanted to go to a real school, but it's not an option for me. My parents are against it.

In yet another bizarre twist in the ongoing attempt to bring five suspects to trial following the 2011 drive-by shooting that killed 14-year-old Tara Romero, the attorney for one of the suspects had to recuse himself from the case Friday because his office is representing a victim of that shooting who is now a suspect in an unrelated violent crime spree that happened earlier this year in San Jose.
