Pet of The Week
HSBfiiflP hmk 1
By Jerry McLaurin
Fritz, a seven-year-old
dachshund, was born in
Doraville. At the same time
Homer Moelchert, son of
Miller and Lou Moelchert,
was involved in search for a
pet that took him through
many Georgia towns. Finally
Homer wound up in Doraville
where he found Fritz, the last
remaining of a litter of eight
and a male to boot!
It was instant puppy love
and Homer, then a high
school student, returned with
Fritz to his Jackson home on
East College Street. There
things went well until Homer

MRS. INDIA BAILEY AND FRITZ
left for college at the
University of Georgia. Fritz,
it seems was unconditionally
opposed to riding in a car to
the corner grocery store let
alone to the far away center
of learning.
Asa result Fritz was
adopted by Mrs. India
Bailey, Homer’s grand
mother, who shared the
Moelchert home. The adop
tion is a proposition entirely
to the liking of both parties.
The two of them are constant
companions.
In general, Fritz is a good
natured canine and craves
constant attention but there
are things that he simply
THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON. GEORGIA
will not stand for. As
mentioned above he believes
that cars were meant
exclusively for human and
not canine transportation.
Once inside, he becomes a
nervous wreck. Another pet
peeve, besides refusing to
ride, Fritz will not be picked
up. Not long ago Miller and
Mrs. Bailey decided that
Fritz needed a bath. In the
scuffle to get him into the tub
Mrs. Bailey was surprised
with two nips on the hand.
Since then at bath time Fritz
is carted off to the vets for a
bath.
Fritz makes an excellent
watchdog for the family;
admittedly his technique is
more vocal than physical but
if barking is an indication of
the quality of a watchdog
then Fritz might be consider
ed among the very best. The
paper boy and the garbage
man get the worst of his
attentions.
At lunch time Fritz is easy
to please; anything edible
disappears with precision.
Among his favorites are
turnip greens, collards, corn
bread and lately anew
favorite has been added
tossed salad with mayon
naise dressing.
While Mrs. Bailey is his
official mistress there is one
in the house that exercises
complete and unquestioned
authority over him. A while
back Fritz came hobbling
into the house; after a visit to
the vet he returned with a
cast on his hind leg. The cast
seemed to present a great
problem to Fritz especially
when trying to get around the
house and when climbing the
stairs except when Lou was
around; all it took was a
sharp and unsympathetic,
“Get in here Fritz,” and
miraculously Fritz would
hurdle the stairs or any
other obstacle without the
slightest evidence of a
broken leg.
Many of us human types
have strange nervous habits;
some of us tap our feet,
others scratch their heads
and many bite nails but Fritz
clings to and gnaws on a
security cloth. Lou has
sacrificed many an old shirt
in order to provide Fritz with
a security cloth. Linus and
his blanket pale by compari
son.
Fritz is a little unusual in a
few ways, i.e. security cloth
and etc. but when it comes to
the companionship that he
and Mrs. Bailey share he is
pure 100 percent All-Ameri
can dog. The two of them
illustrate the beauty of the
dog-master relationship.
