Oh, the places you’ll go!

’m borrowing that line from a favorite children’s book ideal for grownups (can’t count the number of beloved friends I’ve made sit and let me read it to them). Thank you, Dr. Seuss, for your simple yet profound thoughts on the highs and lows of life, and especially on the waiting times — which seem so very important to recognize as the purposefilled times they are. The title also speaks very much to life with animals — the places they have the power to take us, the magic moments they provide if we’re halfway tuned in. Currently I’m having an issue. As you might know, the pet population in our home consists of an elkhound, a cat and two (sometimes three) mini doxies (add the man and that’s a lot of wei. . . oh, never mind). Anyway, the little dogs must sleep in the bed. Of course it was my own doing; these guys start out barely over a pound, and it’s really difficult to have them sleep anywhere but nestled against you. But with time comes change, and at our house the changes have

taken us from one 2-lb — well, not ball, exactly, kind of a kaiser roll — of fur, who grew to an 8-pounder, who was joined by another little one who became a 13-pounder, and finally the third tiny thing, who initially topped out at 12 lbs, but in recent weeks has ballooned to a plump 15 — (!) . . . but that’s another story. Oh, and of course there’s 12-lb Wolf the cat, who sometimes sleeps in the bed and sometimes is indisposed elsewhere, hanging out in what certainly must be much more “swah-vay” locales. You get the picture. There’s a ton of fur in this bed, and you know, as much as I love them, I find myself waking up going, “ewwwww.” But the “ewww” moment is fleeting. Generally when I’m focused on my animals the feelings range from tickled to outraged to grateful to captivated . . . and always, always love-filled. As this issue came together I was keenly aware of the ways animals take us to extraordinary places in such unexpected ways in the course of otherwise ordinary days. More of us are considering getting our animals certified to be in service. Those who do experience first-hand the great truth that it is better to give than to receive. (Truth be told, most of us humans are wired to love — and prefer! — both, but the fact is, typically, being in service pays off big — the giver really does receive huge, unimagined gifts. Take note of the new blood bank opening in Clackamas. And consider making a dent in the need. As the canine popula-
tion grows, so does the need for blood. Imagine if your baby were in need: what a simple yet critical thing to have provision at that moment. Our animals spur us to action, be it going for a run, out for an exhilarating frolic at the park (physically and socially), to learn more so we can provide the greatest care. They take us to new heights in discipline and restraint as they test our very last nerve by chewing the drapes in the family room, enjoying a manicure courtesy of the new furniture (I once woke up to find the most adorable brand new love seat I’d installed the night before completely defaced by Wolf — what a moment. And you just can’t discipline, reprimand, or hope to get any satisfaction from being mad at the cat. Trust me: their response will just humiliate you further.) They bring us incredible moments of appreciation and awareness. The lessons they offer are legion. Thank you, Peach, for teaching me that it’s not only okay to seek or be demonstrative with affection, it’s disarming, endearing, even admirable. They remind me personally that it really is easy to be kind — whatever the circumstance — if only we pause and think. And that’s definitely a lesson I take into my relationships with people. Creatures, be they human or animal, do best on a steady diet of generous love. And so do I! So come bedtime will I kick these guys to the curb? Tuck them into their own beds (oh, yeah, they have plenty of ‘em) that in reality are more snuggly, comfy and warm than those many human bodies will enjoy tonight? Probably not. But one of these days, Alice. . . Yours in everything pet,

Saving wildlife for over 30 years and dreaming for more Alexa Meisler • Spot Magazine
A
bear in the backyard and birds of prey in the laundry room? Not what you’d find in an average home. For wildlife filmmaker, writer, photographer and rehabber J. David Siddon Sr., it was not only normal, but the beginnings of what would become Oregon’s largest animal rehabilitation facility, Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education Center, located in Grants Pass, Oregon. The center unofficially began in 1973 in Siddon’s backyard. Rather quickly, the animals overflowed the yard and began to fill the house. Later, Siddon purchased an adjoining property to accommodate the ever-expanding population, and the doors were opened as an official center for wildlife treatment. Today the center is run by David Siddon, Jr., who continues to keep his father’s vision alive. He says, “Our biggest single struggle is funding the place. We don’t charge for anything we do. Animal rehab is free, tours are free, and we provide education for free.” The Southern Oregon facility cares for and treats sick, injured and orphaned wildlife indigenous to the Pacific Northwest. Its permanent residents — those with lasting injuries or who for whatever
reason could not survive in the wild — are the stars of the center’s guided public tours. Fondly referred to by staff as the “Wildlife Images educational ambassadors,” bears, mountain lions, wolves, bobcats, fox, badgers, eagles, hawks, owls, and vultures all call the center home. “Unfortunately, I will use the term imprinting a lot on our tour,” says guide Rebecca Stoltz while introducing the first animal on the tour, a hawk in the Eagle Flight Facility. Imprinting occurs when an animal becomes so accustomed to being around people that if it were to be released it would seek out humans rather than its own species. In so doing they are often seen as a threat by the very humans they’re drawn to, placing them at high risk for injury. Working closely with Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW), Wildlife Images took in more than 1,500 animals last year, from hummingbirds to bears. Eighty percent of the animals that survived their initial injuries were released back into the wild. The animals that cannot be released — whether because their injuries are too severe or because they have been domesticated or imprinted — do their part by enhancing the center’s tours.

“The last thing we want to do is make pets out of wildlife,” says ODFW Southwest Regional Manager, Steve Denney. “It is illegal, and even if well-meaning, it can condemn an animal to be unrehabable. Wild animals are meant to be wild.” Denney says, “It is not uncommon for wild young animals to be left alone. Someone might find a fawn alone and think it has been orphaned, but its mother is probably out gathering food.” Denney says one of the biggest problems they face is when well-meaning individuals take home an animal they think is orphaned. They try to feed it themselves — sometimes wrong foods — and the animal can get sick or die.

Her name is Lola... She is a puppy; an 11-month-old golden retriever belonging to local jazz musician, Tom Grant. Lola is full of mischief and currently ingesting many things that are not good for her, says Tom. Some not so harmful, others have required surgery to remove, like a recent snack of rock that was too tempting for her to pass up. Occasional nibbles and gnawing on cords and cables in Tom’s music studio has temporarily banned her from jam sessions. While Lola is in full-blown puppyhood, she has many very endearing and sweet qualities. Every time Tom fills her bowl with food, for example, she runs directly to him as if in gratitude before she runs to her bowl to chow down. Now that’s a dog that can melt its owner’s heart. Tom has had dogs all his life, including a Beagle mix, sheep dog, cocker spaniel, and Lola, his third golden. He says his favorite part of owning a dog is having them jump up on his bed, curl up and snooze the night away with him.

y first contact with the Critical Care Blood Bank at Northwest Veterinary Specialists was with Dr. Heidi Houchen, a perpetually-cheerful veterinarian heading up the clinic’s fledgling program. While arranging an interview, she asked if I would be interested in attending a donation. How could I say no to a first-hand, behind-the-scenes opportunity? Days later found me seated in an exam room at NWVS in Clackamas, watching vet tech Ginny White-Martin prepare Ruger, a four-year-old black lab, for a blood donation. Ruger lay on his side atop a fleece-covered exam table, totally at ease. But that’s not because of sedatives, says Houchen. I was surprised to learn that anesthetics aren’t required for canine donations. All that’s usually needed is the owner to sooth the dog. Ruger is the exception to the rule, Houchen says, because while characteristically very laid-back, he gets pretty excited around his owner, NWVS vet tech Michelle Forespring.

hopes the program becomes another resource for vets across the city. If you think your dog might want to join Ruger as a donor, Houchen is seeking four-legged lifesavers. To be eligible, dogs must be ages one to eight years, weigh 55 pounds or more, be vaccinated, parasite-free, and never pregnant or the recipient of a blood transfusion. Especially desired is blood contributed by Greyhounds, Pit Bulls and German Shepards. According to Houchen, these breeds are most likely to have the elusive “universal” blood type (only about 7% of other breeds are likely to possess universal blood). Houchen is quick to point out that the benefits of the program don’t stop with the warm-fuzzy feeling of saving lives. Participating animals receive yearly physicals with full blood screening, a checkup at every donation (most contribute about four times a year), plus free Sentinel to ensure these everyday heroes stay parasite-free.

e all know we can be replaced. But have you ever once thought your replacement might be an animal? Increasingly in businesses, pets not only show up for work with their owners, some actually have job descriptions, and others have in fact been hired into a real “position.” Take the Hotel Monaco in Portland, for instance. In 2002, the hotel held a pageant. The contestants were residents of the Oregon Humane Society, six dogs all vying for the coveted career opportunity of becoming the hotel’s Director of PR. The event was called an RFP (Request for Pooch), with auditions held in an effort to hire a Director of PR: that would be Director of Pet Relations. Art, one lucky dog, won out, due in part to his strength in the talent competition. He had some pretty fine tricks up his paws, and his domination of the contest only increased as he clinched the bark-off and fashion segments.

Take ‘em aboard, but suit them up Life jackets are just as important for pets as their people, says Nancy Perry-Dale, owner of Four Paws Only, a specialty pet apparel and accessory company in Portland. A longtime boater herself, Perry-Dale launched her latest endeavor, Operation Safe Dog, after learning of the many dogs that have drowned or been lost while their families recreated on the waters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Operation Safe Dog is a Lifejacket loaner program for dogs, created to encourage safety in and on the waters around Oregon. A boat owner can obtain a lifejacket on loan for 24-48 hours at any of the major gas docks along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Boat owners must return the same loaner lifejacket to the dock at which it was obtained within 48 hours or pay the purchase price of the lifejacket. Funds collected from lifejackets not returned will be used by Operation Safe Dog to purchase replacement lifejackets.
The lifejackets used in the program are Paws Aboard Lifejackets. They are neon yellow with reflective stripes, velcro/mesh underbelly with a fastening system, have a handle for easy rescue, are durable, lightweight and buoyant. The program is sponsored by Four Paws Only and Paws Aboard, encouraged by The Oregon State Marine Board and The Multnomah County Sheriff River Patrol. Four primary reasons over 200 dogs become lost or drown each boating season are: 1) dog jumps/falls from the boat and owner is unaware; 2) dog jumps/falls off the dock 3) dog plays in the water too long and becomes tired 4) dog jumps or falls in the water while retrieving a toy and never resurfaces or becomes caught in the current.

Circle the date Rockin’ Roxy’s Dog Stop dog daycare & boarding facility will open for business at SE 17th & Milwaukie in Sellwood June 4. Owners Tricia Thomas & Jeka Trees, both experienced “dog people,” wanted to work for themselves where their dogs could accompany them. What better than a doggy daycare! They also wanted the endeavor to reflect their style & sensibilities. So, they offer twice-daily walks, daily training & small group spaces for dogs to learn & grow, romp & play. “We will use games, teach tricks, and do some basic obedience training to ensure the dogs don’t get bored and that they know how to act in social situations,” says Jeka. The day care features ½ rubber flooring and all-around windows in the main play area with a separate space for mellower dogs. Each space has its own outside area. The kennels include single- and doubleoccupant spaces. Rockin’ Roxy’s opened June 4; the grand opening celebration is June 16. Details rockinroxys.com or 503.232.7699.

regular updates into the Pets 911 database. These updates allow the site to include current listings of pets available for adoption, contact information for veterinarians, and lost and found pet information. Pets 911 is easily accessible through both a toll-free phone number (888.PETS.911) and on the Web (pets911.com). “There are so many needy pets out there,” says Tracyann Mains, program director for Pets 911. “We are excited to be taking advantage of this new model for communicating with the public about pets who are lost or looking for a home.” Shelters and rescues hoping to find homes for their animals can build a pet profile on the Pets 911 Web site that includes the option for video upload free of charge. The profile can be easily found by potential adopters or pet owners searching for their lost animal according to US zip code. YouTube allows people to easily — and without cost — upload and share video clips across the Internet. There is no formal agreement between YouTube and Pets 911.
Yep, Youtube’s jumped on the pet-friendly bandwagon as well. Which for those seeking resources is good news — the more the merrier! National Web site Pets 911 is Harnessing YouTube craze to find homes for lost and abandoned pets. Local shelters across the country are invited to take advantage of the latest Internet trend by posting video of pets available for adoption on Pets911.com. Pets911 has updated its site to allow any shelter or rescue that has a pet available for adoption to include video of that pet using YouTube technology. “This new option of advertising available pets will be an indispensable resource for animal shelters and for individuals in search of a pet to adopt,” says Dr. Rodrigo Silva, executive director Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, in Phoenix, AZ. “If a picture is worth a thousand words, video is worth a million when it comes to showing the true character of a dog or cat up for adoption.” Pets 911 is a national organization designed to provide local pet-related resources and info to its users. Individuals and animal rescues, shelters, and agencies around the country feed

Former agility champ appears at world show The Pedigree Dog Food Company sent agility champ, Baldwin the Rocket Dog, to Mexico City for the World Dog Show last month. The honor was made sweeter for Baldwin, as he had undergone knee surgery last winter. His turnaround could be called a miracle, thanks to post-surgery therapy he received from Dog Paddle Hydrotherapy & Wellness in Pasadena, Calif. As soon as his stitches were out, Baldwin began a regimen including underwater physical therapy, stretching, massage, acupuncture and Pulsed Signal Therapy (PST), a patented system used repair and replace damaged cells. Baldwin’s owner, Susan Hartzler, credits PST and the complete rehabilitation course with Baldwin’s speedy and full recovery. “I was worried because I had heard there was an 80% chance that the other knee will also tear within a year,” explains Hartzler. “Thanks to his physical therapy, Baldwin is back to the shape he was in when he was the number one Puli in Agility in the U.S.” Dog Paddle’s head rehab therapist, Margaret Rudoy, has seen some amazing results in her patients. “I have seen dogs and cats in terrible shape with severe back problems, joint issues, hip and knee surgery — all sorts of issues. But with the right program, we can get them back on their feet, feeling good again, which makes their owners happy and in turn, makes me happy,” she said. Today, Baldwin continues serving as a therapy dog to children at County USC Hospital, Children of the Night, and students in special ed. He and classmates from Contact Point Agility Center in Los Angeles performed at the World Dog Show before 100,000 spectators over four days.
Learning On The Spot Training
Jennifer DuMond Biglan, BA, CPDT • Spot Magazine
Teaching Fido To Come...Fast! Training Tools Your Dog Verbal marker (“good dog”) or a clicker A mixture of healthy, small (pea-sized) food rewards (cheese, chicken, steak, ziwi peak or real meat training rewards, etc.) A long leash or enclosed area
directly behind him/her (so you have a wonderful view of his back end), wait for your dog to finish the treats and look to find you. As soon as he turns his head around toward you, click or say “good dog,” then place 4-5 more food rewards on the floor in front of your feet. Repeat several times, then take a break.
Step 2: Adding Distance • As your dog gets better, start adding distance. Repeat Step 1, but instead of sneaking around and hiding right behind your dog, sneak around and hide 5-10 steps away so that your dog has to walk (or run) farther to reach you. Say your cue (“come”) as your dog is moving toward you.
Training tips
Step 3: Chase is Fun!
• It’s important to always reward your dog close to your body so he gets used to running right up to you. Think about where you would want him to be if you were trying to clip on his leash. • At this point don’t use your cue (“come, here, hit it, treats, cookies, etc.) unless you are 95% certain your dog is going to come to you.
• If you’re comfortable running, add this step to increase your dog’s motivation to get to you. Repeat Step 2, but when your dog turns to find you, click or say “good dog,” then run 2-10 steps away from your dog (encouraging him to follow), place the treats in front of your feet when he reaches you, then repeat again. Say your cue (“come”) just before the rewards are gone and he/she starts moving toward you.
How to Train Step 1: Find Your Person • Start with your dog on leash or in an enclosed area. Place a few food rewards on the ground right in front of your feet. While your dog is eating the treats, sneak around

Doggie Parenting 101:
Playing Tug o’ War with dogs and puppies
Victoria Rose • Spot Magazine
P
laying “Tug Of War” with most dogs is perfectly fine. Not a good idea, though, if your dog is having dominance issues, or is so excitable or uncontrollable that he — or you — might get hurt. (In that case, please get professional help; the problem is fixable.) The key is that you control the game. But of course, that’s the rule for everything with dogs. We’re the leaders. . . they take direction from us. . . right? So while you needn’t always win, you should be able to stop the game when desired, and get the dog to let go on command. The dog must follow rules. The handler, not the dog, initiates the game. No nicking skin with teeth, no “climbing” up the tug toy to gain more of it. Clothing, of course, is totally out of bounds, and will cause the game — and future games until the dog has had some training — to end, even if grabbed by accident. The game absolutely must be played in a controlled manner. Don’t play tug with dogs that have orthopedic problems. Because a dog puts his whole body into tugging, it’s stressful on and can actually damage joints and muscles. Tug o’ War can build confidence in an underconfident dog. Follow the rules, and allow him to win the tug item and run around with it a bit, then play again. Make it more challenging as his confidence grows.
Take special care with teething puppies (starting at about 4 months and lasting 2-3). Puppy’s gums and mouth hurt at that time (one reason they chew everything in sight), so be gentle. It’s best to wait until permanent teeth are set. Tug o’ War can also damage the bones of young, growing dogs because the bones’ growth plates are not yet set. Get specifics from your veterinarian, but generally, growth plates are set between 1½-2 years. Regardless of conflicting opinions you may have heard, Tug o’ War in and of itself does not cause or exacerbate behavior problems. Controlling the game is the key. Like I tell my students: “Your dog can rob a bank. . . if you tell him to.” ‘Til next time… Kiss Doggies!

If your dog eats kibble (aka dry food), you may want to try one of several kibble-dispensing toys. These are excellent for dogs who tend to eat too fast, which carries risks of bloat and choking. And they make eating way more fun!

One Jetta loves is called Tricky Treats. As the dog pushes the ball-like toy around, the kibble drops out, a few pieces at a time. Jetta also has a Leo, made by Canine Genius, which I like even better (much easier to clean and accommodates a greater variety of treats). Fun for dogs, they slow eating time and occupy them for awhile.

Meet Lexie Just found your magazine yesterday and LOVED it. Especially the photo of Scooter. THAT is priceless. Scooter’s mom must just crack up when she sees him sitting like that. This is Lexie, who likes to dress up. Sometimes.
The experts Stitch and Kyla share their home in Eugene, Oregon with 3 cats and 2 humans, and the occasional Greenhill foster dog. Stitch is a neutered 3-year-old mix rescue. He is a heavy chewer, loves to play with other dogs, to steal toys from his sister, Kyla, and to snuggle (no one told him 80lb dogs don’t make good lap dogs). Kyla is a spayed 4-year-old Siberian Husky Mix rescue. She is a gentle chewer, a Canine Good Citizen, and helps her human rehabilitate dog-aggressive dogs and puppies with play skill deficits. She LOVES to run!
Erin Cecil-Levine via email editor’s note: Scooter is a very large, laid-back feline who lives with pet-mom Patti McKinney of Portland. He appeared in a recent issue of Spot.

Annie, a calico, “works” in Springfield, handily controlling the mice population in the barn and out back. South of the border, Gracie rules her domain in Eugene. Both cats are sought out by visiting customers. Gray’s is so pet friendly, one customer brings in a big bag of doggie bones that are stashed at the store so his dogs can stop in for a tasty treat as they take their daily stroll past the store. Usually the only dogs to be seen in a shopping mall are the service variety, or those behind glass, priced to sell. That’s why the sight of two pugs bopping around outside the Shoe Stop shoe repair at Lloyd Center in Portland is so surprising. The pup’s owner, store employee Mark Ivens, was unavailable at this writing to provide details. But the two pugs can often be sighted — either lounging in full stretch across the front counter, or quietly doing their thing near the shop’s entrance — and if they’re on the clock, surely so is Mark. Now. You’re running errands. Your dog jumps into the backseat and assumes his position as MVP (most valuable pet). You’re in and out of the car a hundred times. Eventually you’re tired and ready for a caffeinated pick-me-up. The question is: do I leave the “baby” in the car, or is he welcome inside the coffee shop? The latter, if your destination is Iron Mutt Coffee Company in Beaverton. Not only dog friendly, the question here is what came first, the dog or the cart? Owner Sean Daughtery and his wife Rachelle had the epiphany at a dog park one cold, rainy day. Wouldn’t it be nice, they mused, to have a place to sit down and have a latte while their dogs frolicked in the wind and rain. Thus, Iron Mutt was born. The Daughtery’s dogs, purebred boxer Nate and “purebred mutt” Bailey, are permanent residents at the shop. Iron Mutt was named after Bailey, who

at 10 months had a titanium h replacement. Iron Mutt boasts a gated out door seating area with bark-chip floor so customers can sip their drinks with their pooches off the leash. While all business owners have their challenges From McK enzie Fee and revelations, Sean says d he got a new outlook on life. “I used to think success was how money I had. We are so much mo than two years ago because we are making a positive impact in our community and creating a business from an idea Today success is not about the money.” To date the shop has raised and donated funds and food to 11 local and national nonprofit animal organizations. Got printing on the to-do list? Customers of Negative Perfection, a print shop in Portland, have enjoyed the friendly folks and unforgettable sweetness of Abigail (Abby for short), a bloodhound who’s held the prestigious post as the company’s security consultant for eight years. Abby has her own business card complete with a very flattering mug shot She lives at the print shop full-time, and replaced Watson, another bloodhound who passed away eight years ago. If you’re into show dogs, or showing your dog, BIS (Best in Show) in Eugene is the place to go for grooming. Owners Debbie Peterson and Eric Johnson have eight purebred Afghans between them. On any given day, two of the dogs can be found gracing the premises (and we do mean grace — it’s an elegant sight to behold). Since they are professional show dogs Peach & Scout themselves, it’s not uncommon for cusFrom Spot Magaz ine tomers to be treated with a pose or two.

Permanent residents, the beautiful animals greet customers with meticulously-groomed tails wagging. “We bring the dogs to work to promote better health, good grooming, and to teach socialization and help others learn how to care for their own pets,” says Debbie.

Customers who take their own pet to the store are encouraged to stop by the checkout counter for a free treat. So, whether you’re going for your morning half-caf, nonfat latte, looking to do a little printing, hopping down to the garden center, getting your shoes repaired, or just want a pet-friendly getaway, there are countless places where not only your pooch is welcome, but where you’ll have a chance to become fast friends with the pets who are part of a huge trend in changing the face of businesses in the Northwest.
