Lifetime cost of a dog

What has your dog cost you through it's lifetime?
I was talking with my mum earlier and she was trying to dissuade me from planning another dog when my old girl dies, as they are just getting so expensive to keep. We are both dog lovers and I have never imagined not having a dog. But the conversation has gotten me thinking, as it is definitely true that we have spent a fortune on this dog in recent years.
I estimate the following costs:
Purebred puppy (from a wonderful breeder): $850 (14 years ago, would be more now)
Setup equipment: $400 (I was a student, would be more now)
Dog school for about 6 months: $300. (Don't remover the cost, guessing here)
Desexing: 300
Food: prob an average of $10/week over 14 years. More in recent years as her needs got more complicated due to poor health.
Vet: $200/year for vaccinations and checkup
$600 in accident/illness care for first few years (minor stuff
$1500/ year for last several years. I'm guessing this, as it has been lots of smaller things due to an ongoing health problem, common in the breed, that has all sorts of knock on effects. I do know its been thousands and thousands, including major surgery and heaps of blood tests.
Transport overseas and back, quarantine. Prob a total cost of $4000. I lived overseas for 3 years, had to take her.
So, assuming I haven't forgotten anything major (I do all grooming, she has never been in a kennel except for quarantine), that comes to:
First year: $2550
Ages 1 to 5: $900/ year approx, 3600 for the 4 years
Ages 6 to 14: $2700/year approx, 17600 for 8 years
Total of around $27750 for her life so far (14 years).
This is for a small dog (mini schnauzer) with a common health problem (canine hyperlipidemia).
What do you think your dog costs you?
Posted 04 February 2013 - 09:52 PM
My answer is who cares. It's more what NOT having her would cost me. It would cost me my best friend and lots of happiness.
Not trying to disrespect your question - the honest truth is I am scared to think about what it has cost in financial terms!
Food = $15 per week for 150 weeks = $2250
Treats = $10 per week for 150 weeks = $1500
Drugs = $120 months for 20 months = $2400
Adoption fees = $350
Obedience = $320
Training programs = 680
Behaviourist = $1200
Toys inc. expensive food dispensing ones = $300
Kennel = $180
Mats, Beds = $400
Leads, harnesses = $200
Collars = $120
Council tags = $120
Insurance = $59 x 150 weeks = $2006
New back doors x 4 = $2500
New interior doors x 2 = $800
Eaten weatherboards = $1200
New side gate = $680
Walker = 60 pw x 52 weeks = $3120
minding $80 pw x 2 weeks = $160
Misc eaten shoes, sunnies etc = $500 approx
Out of pocket vet = $800
Daycare = $1200
Boarding = $600
Damage to new property = $1000
$23,506 .... I've had her just over 3 years .....
Nah, still worth it
Must be a huge figure for those involved in breeding or training!
Posted 04 February 2013 - 10:11 PM
$190 for the dog
$100 for things to try and contain him in the yard
$500 for a containment fence after others failed
$70 x 3 for new wire each time we have had to move
$150 for a replacement collar for the fence
$350/yr for pet insurance
$800 for when he had a tick prior to insurance
$300 for when he has been sick and kept in the vet overnight
$10 every 6 weeks for a tick collar
$160/yr for wormers
$30ish a month for food
$10 a year for a replacement name tag - they keep falling off
$400 for desexing & microchipping
$45 a year for rego
$20/night for someone to look after him if we go away
$300 for when he jumped onto a chair and it fell back in and smashed a window
$200 for random things he chewed
$200 for toys I have bought him that he has then chewed through & the one that he couldn't he didn't use
$200 for a kennel
$40 for a dog bed
$10 a year on new mats/blankets etc as needed
& then there is the burden of very limited housing options. I bought him when I owned a house. Ex & I split & now I am renting. Very hard to find a house that allows pets...if you add the extra $50 a week for the only house that would take us with a dog...that adds up too
My parents have just spent $1200 on their dogs teeth. Also $300 on injections for arthritis
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:34 AM
Jellyblush I'm not at all suggesting that it might not be worth it. Or that having a dog in the family is about the money at all. But I do think it's worth us considering what the lifetime cost of having a pet might be, as far as it can be predicted.
When it comes down to it, if having another dog in our family would cost us a year's worth of my income, we might, for example, decide that it would be better for the family, especially the kids, if I spent another year at home with them instead of having that dog. I think decisions like these are important.
The thing is that 15 years ago, when I decided to get a dog, there was no way of predicting the massive increase in the cost of vet bills that we have seen today. The vets can do a lot more things now, but it all comes at a price. There was also no way of predicting that I would return from overseas with a dog who had been insured when overseas but was now uninsurable in Australia, meaning that we have had to pay for 100% of vet costs since then, and they have been substantial.
That's why I'm asking. Not to be horrified, or even surprised, at people's decisions. But trying to get an idea as to whether our costs are normal, high, or even lower than average for a dog who lives to a ripe old age but has some health problems along the way.
(off to give doggy girl the antibiotics we got at the yet-another-$200-vet-visit on Sunday, plus the $93-for-a-3.5g-tube insanely expensive but very effective eye ointment. <sigh>.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:59 AM
On top of the initial outlay for our dogs (one breeder rescue other we purchased)
$1500 for pup ++++ all puppy paraphernalia
I dont like to add up all costs but DH and I worked out it probably costs us around $200-$250 per month for 2 dogs (german shepherds so lots of food) and one cat.
This is averaging out any vet bills, food, new beds, toys, bones.
Our cat alone has cost us $1000 in vet bills in last 3 months (something different everytime)
Oh and did I add the selling house and moving to a property so they could run around and not bother neighbors with their barking ... probably at a cost $150K++ alone.
And yes they move was for us as well, but was brought forward by about 4 years to suit our dogs
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:03 AM
The life time cost of a pet is spread out, and does not come all at once. So as long as you can afford the cost at the time - who cares! You could apply the same calculations to the daily cup of coffee at the coffee shop on workdays ( a while ago someone figured that out for a 20 year period and it was huge!), or children or your regular hobby.
if you can afford it now the love and joy cannot be calculated!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:11 AM
$200 for vaccines! Ours charge $94.10
In the last two months:
$100 vet bill for consult and meds for rash
$94.10 vet bill for vacines
$175 - Kennel stay
$175 - kennel stay
$80 - Vet bill for kennel cough
$21.90 - for antibotics
$195 - for replacement barking collar
$30 - christmas present
$10 a week for treats ($80ish in 2 months)
$15 a week for food ($120ish in 2 months)
So around $1070 for the last 2 months, and he wonders why mum is the one giving him his hair cut and not the groomer.
However these are no where near what a lot of people pay so I am very happy. I do think people need to loook beyond it costing $7 a week in food, but I suppose it is like children there many people who don't think ahead to how expensive it will likely get.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:17 AM
A lot of the costs of a pet can be vastly reduced with a bit of creativity.
Upfront purchase cost......young adult pedigree dogs are often much, much cheaper than puppies and can often be purchased for the cost of desexing.
Dogzonline mature dog listings is a good source for these.
Bedding and toys.....op shops and garage sales. Kennels and fencing materials don't need to be new,garage sales and ads in local papers are good places to start.
Fresh meat can be bought in bulk and frozen, kibble is cheaper in larger sized bags. The better quality kibble is often more economical because you feed so little of it.
Flea and worming products can be bought cheaper online than at the vets or pet shop. Buy larger portions and split them up for smaller dogs.
Desexing costs vary greatly from vet to vet, shop around. I've recently been quoted up to $200 difference for desexing a 25 kg female dog.
Food bowls can be bought cheaply from discount stores, or ext to nothing from op shops.
Buy cheap collars and leads for puppies and a good leather set for an adult. It will last the life of the dog.
Access community obedience clubs, they are heaps cheaper than private trainers and lots of fun.

Can I ask what set-up equipment is?
My last dog:
Cost of dog: Free, already desexed and vaxed.
Cost of leash, collar: $20.00 USD.
Food: Less than 10.00 a week.
Porridge to bathe her in for her grotty skin: $10.00 a year?
Frontline: $40.00 quarterly.
Fishoil supplement: $10.00 quarterly? Just regular human-grade fishoil tablets from the drugstore.
No major vet expenses, she was adult when we got her and had cost her previous owners considerably in dental bills but was reasonably healthy and settled for us.
Let's say 25 bucks a year in assorted toys and treats? If that.
Didn't want anything except to be allowed to follow people from room to room and to sleep on squishy furniture. I think half the toys and things were hand-me-downs from the previous dog. Probably saved me at least 200 dollars in gym membership though because for the first couple years we had her she needed lots and lots of walking.
We didn't leave her in the yard so she had no containment costs, and we never kenneled her or anything. Emotional costs and not being able to leave her places (seperation anxiety) etc. were far more "feel the pinch" than financial costs. Despite hardly barking at all, she also can scream exactly like a panicky toddler.
We also missed the cute puppy year and the first 7 years after that.

I have no idea either, I think I spent $90 at Kmart grabbing some blankets, 2 beds, toys, food bowel, water bowel, new collar etc. I then a few weeks later got a kennel which the dog has used NEVER! so gave it to someone. Perhaps it is the above stuff?
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:28 AM
When we get a new dog, it gets a second hand blanket for a bed, a new collar and lead, a cheap bowl and it shares the toys, brushes, grooming equipment we already have.
My last dog cost me a lot to buy (she has a top notch pedigree and will be a breeding b**ch), but not much since and most of the higher costs have been associated with showing her, which most people don't do.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:36 AM
Oh, I don't want to think about the cost! Our dog brings us such joy and is an important member of our family. We found her at a shelter and fell in love right away, she has turned out to be so gentle and affectionate that we can't imagine life without her. Last year she had to have X-rays and tests that found out she has mild hip dysplasia and some arthritis, so we know that in future we may be up for some big vet bills, but there's no doubt that we will find a way to pay them.
I grew up with pets and I think it's great for kids to learn how to value and look after animals as they grow up as well; I know it helped me; I learned not to approach unfamiliar animals, and to respect their rights. I can't really put a $ value on what she brings to our lives - it's worth it.
I also like our cat... but you know, cats are different More independent and scratchy!!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:55 AM
meh. I am very much in the who-cares brigade.
I got a dog for free once. "free dog' he was awesome! we already had a dog so the set up was nothing (already had bedding old lead etc). But he ended up being the most expensive dog we ever had... he had chronic pancreatitis (needed lots of vet treatment and special food), epilipsy (vet bills and pills) and then diabetes (vet bills and insulin injections).
but who cares! he was the best dog I ever had and he had no idea that he was sick ever. so lovely.
always having dogs has taught me a lot about compassion to animals.
as a kid it taught me a lot about responsiblity, caring for another, self-less ness.
I also learnt those things because my grandma lived with us in her old age. Sure it might have cost us some money to have her in the house but you know - she needed us and we loved her. Caring for her was not always fun but it is nice to do things out of love.
I guess I am not really one to put a price on love.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:03 AM
I dont really see how a dog needs to cost so much if you really want it. But thats my mindset on alot of things. Honestly our dog barely costs us anything. We went to the council and got a discount certificate to get him microchipped/de sexed, i think it was $50 all up. I get the worming/fleaing treatment online and for our cats too and it very cheap. He also didnt cost us anything to buy him as he's a Cavoodle, and was a give away. He doesnt have fancy kennels, beds, leads. He is loved and isnt that all that really matters?
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:09 AM
One of my girls has cost over 10k in vet bills alone, just spent another 1k on the other girl this month so I am not adding it up!
They're worth it. Most days
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:09 AM
The important costs that are a must is good food and vet care.
All the rest you can be creative with.
Dogs don't need expensive toys, bed, grooming equipment and leads and collars.
Those things can be worked in to your budget.
Training and socialization can be done with a reputable book and a dog park.
A proffessional trainer comes in handy when you come across problems that you need one on one help with.
A dogs cost can be as cheap and expensive as you want it t be.
Adopting a rescue is pretty much free considering you get you get them desexed and vaccinated.
A breeder will sometimes also adopt out older dogs for the cost of desexing as well.
Things can get expensive when you buy pure bred registered puppies, especially rarer breeds.
Or if you are silly enough to buy from pets hops and designer breeds.
Another consideration is getting breeds with good heath reputation.
I have cairn terriers and they are aged 9 and 7.
My 7 year old girl has never been to the vet other than vaccinations and desexing. My 9 year old has been twice due to eating bones whole and getting tummy aches .
Self induced due to being a greedy pig meaning he needs to get on a drip and monitored with spain medication until they go through his system.
But other than that they are incredibly healthy.
And are known to be so as a breed.
However brachy breeds and large breeds will tend to have more on going problems that might dent the bank balance.
So to reduce vet bills get breeds with a good health record.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 12:28 PM
Hmm, PPs who are suggesting that people like me are going overboard with costs like food and setup and not seeing the whole picture. Some dogs, especially those with ongoing health problems, do cost more to feed.
My setup costs (the $300 or was it $400 I quoted were probably an underestimate, went like this):
- $200 on a decent set of clippers. For a breed that requires clipping every 6 weeks this has saved me thousands in getting it done professionally.
- $100 or so (guessing, might have been more than that) on a good solid crate that meets the airline requirements for travel crates.
- $10 or so on a collar, $20 or so on toys, $30, iirc, on a carry-basket that is still going strong after 14 years (one of those things with a shoulder strap - I used it to take a rather wobbly old girl to the vet in on Sunday). The rest I'm guessing on incidentals like a brush and comb and scissors. Anyway, I hope you take my point that I wasn't going overboard on this at all.
The current food costs are over $10 a week. Maybe closer to $15 or $20 (shudder). My dog has had to mostly eat skinless chicken breast (low in fat and very digestible), plus rice and veg, for the last 8 or so years. I vary it with other low fat meats, but it's supposed to be mostly chicken. This helps to manage her hyperlipidemia and the associated digestive and liver problems that has caused. But it's not cheap, the more so because I refuse to buy battery-farmed chicken. So that's about $9 a week on meat alone, let alone the other stuff, treats, etc, all of which have to be the expensive ones because the cheap ones are loaded with fat that could give her a pancreatic attack.
Maybe $200 for a vaccination visit is high, but it doesn't seem that high to me if you include worm tablets, flea medication, all the sorts of things that you get on a "yearly checkup" visit. Not to mention blood tests to monitor her condition, etc. I rarely get away from the vet for less than $200, and we go several or more times a year these last few years.
Again, those of you who have a very healthy animal won't have those costs. But here's the thing: I bought a healthy animal, of a healthy breed, from a very reputable breeder who did all the right things. Her problem wasn't identified until middle age (she was 5 or 6, I think). The problem is common in that breed (and others), but was not recognised at the time I decided on the breed and, as far as I know, can't be tested for. So there is basically nothing I could have knowingly done to avoid incurring these costs. It could happen to any of you too, at any time.
Anyway, enough with the self-justification I know I have done right by my dog. But I would really like to keep hearing from people with cheap dogs and those with expensive dogs about how much they cost you over how many years, as I do think it's a good conversation to have when any of us are considering getting a new animal, with the associated lifelong commitment.

Posted 05 February 2013 - 12:54 PM
Hmm, Let's see..
Purchase price $10 (she came from Wagga Pound, the price was the microchip cost)
Desexing $140 (I think)
Vaccinations $80 a year.
Flea medications...stab in the dark...God. I bought the big packet from ebay and split it between both dogs and the cats. Big pack was $80 for three months supply...so...maybe $4 a month?
Worming...Ebay again...maybe $2 a month?
Food...negligable...$3 a week?
Raw food $3 a week (lamb flaps)
Toys/bedding/bowls $20 a year maybe?
Clippers/brushes etc $30. I got a pair of Wahl clippers on gumtree for $20. They're perfect and I taught myself.
Treats $10 month
Not telling her purchase price lol...it was large.
Desexing $250 - she was already chipped.
Vaccs $80 a year
Vet visit and cream $90. She got a hot spot last year.
Flea med $6 month (bigger dog, so bigger ratio of the split)
Worming $3 a month
Food...Maybe $6 a month. They both eat Bonnie, cause that's what she was eating at the breeders.
Raw $7 a week
Toys/bedding/bowls $30 a year. She DID cost me more, but has grown up and stopped detroying all the toys, so they're lasting now!
Brushes - $20 a year. She only really uses a rake comb.
Hydrobaths - $40 a year. Her hair really needs the high powered dryers, so I take her out to the hydro every few months. I brush her weekly, or more often in coat blow.
Treats $20 a month
Snik has cost me more in kids toys...she chewed everything at one stage! But she's grown up. I wouldn't be without either. The dogs give me more than I give them. I'll always have a dog in my house.

This is great if you have a healthy dog without issues. If your dog develops health issues of any kind, physical or mental, you then have an expensive dog - there is absolutely not a single thing you can do about it if you want to keep your dog, you have to pay.
I pay very little for food etc. The only reason I spend on toys is because environmental enrichment is a very important part of her treatment program.
I didn't factor in days like today that I had to take off work for her.... no work, no pay for me .... argh
Posted 05 February 2013 - 01:15 PM
Set up costs here included a crate, puppy pen, bedding, lead, collar, water dish and toys.
I don't want to think about what he has cost me. Well over $1000 in behavouralist and over $4500 in vet bills alone, (not counting routine stuff like desexing and vaccination). He's 3 years old. If I added in all the routine stuff and less serious vet visits it'd be looking pretty hefty.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 02:12 PM
My costs of owning dogs are very high, but that's my choice. Their grooming scissors are over $100 a pair, I have 3 pairs. Their shampoo and conditioner are $30-50 each per bottle, I have multiple bottles. I own my own hydro bath and two professional dryers, this is more cost effective for me than taking 5 dogs to a public hydro bath.
But that's all the costs of the hobby of showing dogs and most pet owners wouldn't have that. The non- show dogs get to benefit too ( although I doubt they'd see regular hydro baths and blasting with the dryer as a benefit).

We have a Labrador, and worry about future costs given their hip problems. So on top of normal feeding, bedding, worming costs, we have pet insurance, I think is about $50/month. Yes we have the most spoilt pooch around, but we think she's worth it!

This is great if you have a healthy dog without issues. If your dog develops health issues of any kind, physical or mental, you then have an expensive dog - there is absolutely not a single thing you can do about it if you want to keep your dog, you have to pay.
I pay very little for food etc. The only reason I spend on toys is because environmental enrichment is a very important part of her treatment program.
I didn't factor in days like today that I had to take off work for her.... no work, no pay for me .... argh
Yep my dog caught Kennel cough from the dogs next door - he was vaccinated but still caught it. I forgot about that in my above post. He also has had a UTI which I forgot too & once I took him thinking he might have had a tick (we came back from holidays and he was walking funny) so took him at 9pm...which cost me a lot of money when it was a once off "think he landed funny" injury.
And I forgot his crate which was $150.
I wish I didn't have to pay so much for containment costs but he can scale 2.5m! Either pay up or have him running the streets
He can destroy most toys, so it is only the Kongs or a Staffy ball (which he didn't even use) that he has not ripped to shreds overnight.

Aug. 13, 1929. F. scHAUM THERIOSTAT Filed July 2. 192'7'l Patented Aug. 13, 1929.
STATE FLETCHER SCEAUM, OF PEILEEiaEA,
respond more quickly to the changes in emperature than will the ordinary forms of thermostat now in use.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a thermostat that is so arranged that lo it will overcome the usual lag that takes place between the action of the thermostat and the source of heat that affects the thermostat.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a thermostat wherein the contact posts opposite the bi-metal arm may-oscillate through a small amplitude in its movement so that the lai-metal in retracting will not have to return through its full former 2G amplitude to make contact with its opposing contact post.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a thermostat that may be easily ad- )usted to operate at diiierent temperatures and at the same time provide an oscilliating yoke to quicken the action of the thermostat.
lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain new .and novel arrangements and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims.
Referring now to the drawings showing a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Fig. l is a plan view oi my improved thermostat, and
Fig. 2 is a similar detail view of the oscillating yoke and controlling arm, the oscillating yoke being shown at its limit of movement.
Referring now more particularly to the several views, there is shown a base l, which may be of any common form of dielectric or this may be'of wood if so desired, but if the latter, the binding posts 2, 3 and 4 must be properly insulated therefrom.
l have not shown any input connections to these binding posts 2, 3 and 4, but it will be understood that any wire leading to the post 3, will be a common pole to the other two posts.
Properly mounted on the base l, is a small retaining post 5, in which will be mounted a coil of bi-metal 6 that will expand under the induences of heat, the heat of course causing `he coil to uncoil and thus swing the arm or end of the coil to the right. On the other aand, a cooling temperature will cause the coil to contract and swing the arm towards the left, as is common in all forms of thermostats.
At the end of this arm 7, may be the small platinum points 8 as is also common to thermostats. Located beneath the coil 6 is a small plate 9, which is provided with four slots l0- at its oplposite corners, through which pass the screws ll which screws are firmly secured in the base l. .At one side of the plate 9, is a small retaining member l2, in which is fastened the bolt 13, which in turn is threaded within the post le, the knurled knob l5 on the bolt may thus be used to laterally adjust this plate 9, so that the thermostat will respond desired temperaturea Along the bottom edge of the plate and centrally thereoi` may be formed the arrow or pointer l@ beneath which, and secured to the base is the plate 17 on which will appear the different graduations in degrees or temperature.
One of the important features ot the invention is the small yoke 18 that is pivoted as at 19, so that ig may pivot or oscillate through small amplitude et movement.
This yoke 18, however, will only pivot or oscillate when actuated by a movement of the arm 7 and will remain in its moved position until again actuated by a movement in the opposite direction of the arm. ln other words, although it is pivotally mounted at 19, it will retain its position until moved in either direction by movement of the arm 7.
This yoke 18 may be ot metal and is provided with two small pieces of dielectric 20 on its opposite arms, so as to properly insulate the yoke arms 2l and 22 from the body. Fitted within the arm 2l is the small threaded post 23, while a similar post 24 is threaded within the arm 22. Binding nuts 25 are provided for each post, so that connecting wires 26 and 27 may lead to the binding posts 4.- and 2 respectively.
Referring again to the yoke 18, a small projection 28 is seen at the bottom thereof which in turn normally extends between the two limiting screws 29, which in turn are threaded within the respective posts 30. These posts 29 may be regulated so that the yoke 18 is limited in its oscillation in both directions.
It will be remembered that the plate 9 as a whole is laterally movable and it will be also seen that contacting posts 23 and 24 are adjustable as well as the limiting screws 29, so that a fine degree of adjustment may be made with the plate and its yoke with relation to the coil 6 and its arm 7. The operation of the device is as follows:
Supposing that to the binding posts 3 and 4 lead wires (not shown) extend to a solenoid or other actuating means, which in turn will be connected to a heat supply or whatever is desired to be controlled by the thermostat. Also lead wires will extend from 3 and 2 to this or other regulating means. Now supposing that the temperature rises, the coil 6 will expand and swing its arm 7 to the position shown in Fig. 2. This will complete the circuit from the post 3 through the arm 23 and from the binding post 4 to the instrument to operate the desired mechanism for cutting off the heat.
It will also be noticed that when the coil 6 extends and contacts with the post 23, it will also oscillate the pivotal yoke slight to the right as shown in Fig. 2 and will in this manner move the post 24 over to the point where the arm 7 will contact with the same when the arm 7 has returned to its position shown in Fig. 1. The arm 7 therefore does not have to travel the distance between the platinum point 8 and the arm 24, (Fig. l), which it ordinarily would have to travel if the yoke 18 were not pivoted and had not swung to the right.
As soon, therefore, as the arm 7 reaches its normal position, (vertical) it 4will then form the electrical contact through the arm 24 and complete the circuit through the instrument connected through the binding posts 2 and 3.
lf the temperature continues to drop, the arm 7 will of course continue to move to `thc left and oscillate the yoke in the opposite direction shown in Fig. 2 and cause the yoke to assume a position 'ust opposite to that shown in Fig. 2, so t at when the arm 7 again returns to the normal position, the yoke being swung to the left would contact again with the arm 23 to thus operate the instruments connected to the leads 3 and 4.
From this it will be seen that the thermostat is one of delicate operation and quick action, and as it will operate more quickly than the ordinary thermostat, it will overcome the lag that is generally incident to other forms of thermostat controls.
It will also be seen that whether the bimetal arm swin s to the right or left, it will oscillate the yo e with it, so that when the arm again returns to its vertical position, it
will contact with the opposing post more quickly than if the yoke and the posts 23 and 24 were stationary.
Furthermore, it will be seen that the thermostat is one of simple construction, there being but one moving part beside the coil, and only parts that need to be insulated are the arms 21 and 22, as otherwise, of course, the circuits would be complete through the yoke 18.
I have found that the thermostat is one that may be easily adjusted and after one advjustment, needs no further attention. It will also `operate under very slight changes in temperature due to the pivotal arrangement of the yoke.
This is important, 'as the slight variations in temperature will cause first one circuit and then the other to operate, so that there will be no lag between operations and w1ll not let, say the fire in the heater or under the boilers, get too low or too high between operations of the thermostat.
Many slight changes might be made without in any way departing from the sp1r1t and scope of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim vas new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A thermostat comprising a base, a bimetal coil mounted on said base, a pivotalv yokeI straddling the end of said coil, the opposite arms of said yoke being lnsulated from the yoke, the two arms and the said coil adapted to be placed in an electric circuit whereby the coil will form a common pole for either circuit, and a swinging of the end of the coil in either direction will close one of said circuits and slightly oscillate said yoke to bring. the non-contacting arm closer to the end of the coil.
2. A thermostat comprising a base, a heat actuated metal coil mounted on said base, a pivotal yoke straddling the end of said coil, the opposite arms of said yoke being insulated from the body of said yoke and from each other', posts in each of said arms, the `said posts and the arm of said coil adapted ato be connected to electric circuits so that the coil will be a common pole with either post and a movement of said arm in either direction completing an el'ectric circuit to oscillate said yoke to bring the non-contacting post closer to said swinging arm than if the yoke remained stationary.
3. A thermostat comprising a base, a thermo-controlled coil having a vertically extending arm, a pivotal member having two opposite posts straddling said arm, said posts insulated from each other, the thermo arm and the said posts adapted to be electrically connected so that the thermo arm is a common pole for either post, the pivotal member adapted to oscillate by an expansion or contraction of said coil so that a return arm on expanding contacting with one of said posts to close an electric circuit, and also oscillating said pivotal member to cause the other ot said posts to follow the arm in its swing, so that said thermo arm will more quickly contact with the latter of said posts on a returning movement than would be the case if the pivotal member had not oscillated.
5. A thermostat comprising a base, a thermo-controlled coil having a vertically oppositely disposed adjust' common pole with both of said posts, the
operation of said arm in one direction contacting with one of said posts to close an electric circuit and also causing the opposite post to follow it in its swing, so that a swinging ot the arm in the other direction will close the electric circuit with the other of said posts more quickly than had the last mentioned post not followed the coil arm in Iits first movement.
6. A thermostat comprising a base, a thermo-arm mounted on said base, two movable electric posts straddling said arm, the thermo arm being wired so that it will form la common pole with both of said posts, the said thermo arm when expanding swinging to the right to close one circuit and move bot-h of said posts so that on a cooling of the arm and a swinging of the same in the 'opposite direction, it will contact with the other of said posts to close the circuit when the said arm reaches ,substantially a vertical position.
7. A thermostat comprising a base, a
thermo arm mounted on said base, movable electric contact posts straddling said arm and wired so that the thermo arm is a common pole to either post, said thermo arm when swinging in one direction contacting with one of said posts to close the circuit, and causing the other post to follow said thermo arm in its movement so that an opposite swinging of said arm will cause the thermo arm to quickly contact with the following post to close said posts in either direction.
8. A thermostat comprising a thermo coil arm, two oppositely disposed contact posts straddling the coil arm, said posts being eapable of being set in a horizontal predetermined position and the said posts being insulated from each other, the coil arm and the said posts being so electrically connected that the said coil arnris a common pole with either of said posts, and a swinging movement of the said arm in either direction contacting with one post and causing the other post to follow it, whereby, on a retracting movement of said arm, it will more quickly overtake the other post than had the two posts not moved with the initial swinging or said arm.
9. A thermostat comprising a base, a thermo coil on said base, a yoke pivotally mounted beneath the end of said coil, said yoke also movable horizontally, said yoke having two adjustable posts insulated from each other, the two posts and thermo coil being so electrically connected that the thermo coil is a common pole for either of said posts, said thermo arm adapted to contact with either one of said posts to thereby close a respective circuit, said arm also causing said yoke to oscillate whereby a retracting movement of the said coil arm will more quickly contact with one of said post arms than had said yoke remained stationary.
l0. A thermostat comprising a base, a
thermo coil mounted on said base, said coil having a vertical arm extending therefrom, a plate mounted beneath the coil, capable of horizontal adjustment, a pivotal yoke on said plate, means for limiting the oscillations of said yoke, the upper ends of said yoke being insulated from the rbody of the yoke, the thermo arm and said ends being so electrically connected that the thermo arm is a common pole for each of said ends of the yoke, and a swinging of said arm in either direction closing the circuit through one o the ends of said yoke and causing the yoke to oscillate whereby the other end of said yoke will more quickly contact with said arm on a retracting movement of said arm than would be the case it the yoke had remained stationary.
l1. A thermostat comprising a thermo controlled arm, a plate horizontally movable beneath the said arm, a pivotal member secured to said plate and having oppositely disposed insulated posts straddling said arm, means for regulating the distance between the posts and said arm, means :tor limiting the pivotal movement of said member, means for determining the horizontal position of said plate and said pivotal1 member, said thermo arm and said posts being so wired as to make the thermo arm a common pole for either post of the pivotal member, and a movement of said arm causing the pivotal member to swing in the direction of the movement of said arm whereby a return movement of the arm will quickly'overtake the arm that lies in the path of the retracting thermo arm.
12. A thermostat comprising a base, a
thermo arm, a horizontally adjustable movable plate beneath the arm, a pivotal yoke on said plate and straddling said arm, binding contact posts Von. said yoke insulated from each other, the thermo arm adapted to close an electric circuit with either of said posts, the said thermo arm also causing a small oscillation of the arm in either direction so that a return movement of said arm will quickly contact with the arm that has followed the arm in its swinging position to thereby close the other of said circuits.
13. A thermostat comprising a thermo arm and a pivotal yoke straddling said arm, two electric contacts on said yoke and insulated from each other, the thermo arm arranged in a circuit that is common to either electric contact, and a swinging of the arm pushing one electric Contact in one direction and causing the other electric contact to follow the arm whereby a return movement of the thermo arm will quickly contact with the electric contact that followed the arm in its movement, and a continued movement of the arm causingthe yoke to oscillate in a direction reverse to the first oscillating movement of the yoke.
14. A thermostat comprising a base, a thermo arm, a yoke beneath the arm capable of an oscillatory movement, said yoke and thermo arm arranged in an electric circuit whereb the thermo arm is common to both ends o the yoke, and a movement of the thermo arm in one direction completing one f

Former Mob 'Insider' Jon D'Amore to Present His Novel "The Boss Always Sits in the Back" at the Five Corners Branch on Monday, May 21st
JERSEY CITY, NJ April 25, 2012 – In the realm of 'you can't make this up', Union City-native Jon D'Amore has written a novel depicting the true story of mob influence in Las Vegas, "funneling millions of dollars out of Las Vegas and saving the New Jersey Don from 40 years in prison. "The Boss Always Sits in the Back" is a humorous, suspenseful retelling of actual events that led to the demise of the mob in New Jersey."
A natural storyteller, Jon D'Amore started writing when he was 10 years old, and began the guitar lessons that launched his musical career. Both writing and music were his main career focuses, except for that youthful dalliance, at the encouragement of his Godfather, Jerry D'Amore. "Jon's life took a turn after Jerry invited Jon to Las Vegas for his 22nd birthday, where he unsuspectingly, then willingly, became part of a scam that has never been revealed before, yet changed the laws of casino gambling forever…but not before it funneled millions into the New Jersey underworld. / As an insider with no mob ambitions, Jon became a trusted ear and learned of the life and death manipulations that made friends and relatives from his world disappear. When the smoke cleared, Jon was one of the few left standing. The others were either dead or in prison."
In respect to this fellow, very engaging writer, all quoted passages are from Jon D'Amore, himself.
Author Jon D'Amore will present his book, "The Boss Always Sits in the Back," at the Five Corners Branch Library, 678 Newark Avenue in Jersey City, on Monday evening, May 21st at 6 p.m. It's free!

Paul Walker to Star in Fred Durst's 'Pawn Shop Chronicles' (Berlin)
BERLIN -- Paul Walker is starring in Pawn Shop Chronicles, a thriller that Fred Durst will direct.
Jordan Schur and David Mimran of Mimran Schur Pictures are producing with Steven Schneider, who produces via his Room 101 shingle. Durst, lead singer of Limp Bizkit, is also producing.
Lionsgate is handling international sales and will also distribute domestically.
"This is a hillbilly Pulp Fiction," said Schur, calling the script "fast-moving and action-packed. It's also very funny. It's got all these elements to really pack a punch."
The interconnected stories center on a missing wedding ring which leads to a wild-goose chase involving meth addicts, skinheads and an Elvis impersonator.
Actor-turned-scribe Adam Minarovich, who at one point worked in a pawn shop in North Carolina, wrote the script.
The producers hope to shoot this spring in Michigan.
Walker next stars in Fast Five, the latest installment of Universal's The Fast and the Furious franchise. He is repped by Luber Roklin Entertainment.

SMU Linebacker Learns the Hard Way: Always Pay Your Hooker
What happens when you don't pay a prostitute for services rendered, then leave her alone in your house? Probably something like this, as reported last night by CBS 11:
Three Mustang players attended the dinner and returned to their off-campus home, on Anita Street, to find that someone had stolen more than $3,000 worth of laptops, televisions and video games.
One of the players, identified as Uchenna Nwabuike, told police he believed the person responsible for the thefts was an escort. The linebacker from Missouri City went on to tell authorities that he had, "made a deal with the suspect to have sex with her for $50."
In the police report, Nwabuike admitted that, "he did not pay the suspect for the acts that she performed" and left the woman in the home alone while the players attended the banquet.
According to the report filed with Dallas police, the woman made off two 42-inch flat screen TVs, two X-Box 360s, three laptops, and a Playstation 3 from the Anita Street home.
That stuff is gone. The better question here is, what happens when a linebacker from a major college football program tells police he was with a hooker?

David Horowitz says it was his publisher's idea to call professors "dangerous"Breaking News
In an interview posted on his own website David Horowitz, author of The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America, says his publisher dreamed up the title after the text was written.
The dangerous idea is a marketing strategy which my publisher attached to the book after it was written. The only appearance of the word"dangerous" in the text is in the coupling of the words"dangerous sophistry" to describe some writing by Professor Juan Cole. Nonetheless, I think"dangerous" can fairly be applied to the collectivity, not least in terms of what they have done to the academic enterprise. Readers of the book will see that the profiles are both accurate and fair. There are several professors — Michael Berube, Todd Gitlin, and Victor Navasky to name four — who are there because they have been collusive in the efforts of political activists to purge the university of conservatives and subvert its academic mission in the service of radical agendas. I point out that Berube and Gitlin supported the war against the Taliban; and that they have been critical of the pro-Saddam left in the anti-Iraq war movement. But if they have been critical of the terrorists, Communists, and leftwing racists on university faculties, I missed it.

An easy and convenient procedure is described for monitoring chemical reactions and characterization of compounds dissolved in ionic liquids using the well-known tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) technique. Generation of wastes was avoided by utilizing an easy procedure for analysis of ionic liquid systems without preliminary isolation and purification. The described procedure also decreased the risk of plausible contamination and damage of the ESI-MS hardware and increased sensitivity and accuracy of the measurements. ESI-MS detection in MS/MS mode was shown to be efficient in ionic liquids systems for structural and mechanistic studies, which are rather difficult otherwise. The developed ESI-MS/MS approach was applied to study samples corresponding to peptide systems in ionic liquids and to platform chemical directed biomass conversion in ionic liquids.

Family friend Richard Gale said Parker died Monday morning due to complications from pneumonia. "She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children at a medical facility near her home in Palm Springs," Gale added.
Parker was nominated for Oscars in 1950, 1951 and 1955, but then saw her career begin to wane in the early 1960s. Her last memorable role came in 1965's The Sound of Music, in which her character loses Christopher Plummer to Julie Andrews.
"Eleanor Parker was and is one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever known," said Plummer in a statement. "Both as a person and as a beauty. I hardly believe the sad news for I was sure she was enchanted and would live forever."
Parker worked only infrequently after that musical blockbuster, appearing in films and on such TV shows as Fantasy Island, Murder, She Wrote and The Love Boat. She also starred in the short-lived 1960s TV series Bracken's World.
"I'm primarily a character actress," she said in a 1988 interview, explaining why she never achieved the stardom of so many of her co-stars. "I've portrayed so many diverse individuals on the screen that my own personality never emerged."
