• Ventura resident, John Darling has kicked off his fund raising site, Tinker’s Treat(www.tinkerstreat.com).
Mr. Darling explains his effort and why he started Tinker’s Treat. “Tinker’s is a site dedicated to raising money to pay the adoption fees of Senior Animals. My little dog, Tinker, died on April 1, 2016 after having lived with my family for 2 ½ years. She was the quietest, most well behaved, and most loving little dog I have ever had but before I adopted her, she lived at Humane Society of Ventura County for a year. Despite being very cute and very sweet, no one wanted her due to her age. She was seven years old when I took her home. In an effort to encourage others to adopt older animals and take pleasure in the pure joy I had while Tinker was with me, I want to raise funds that will pay the adoption fees for Senior Dogs because old dogs need love too.” For more information, Mr. Darling can be contacted at 824-7901. Those who have older dogs should consider getting proper nutrition for your aging pup.
• Recently a 15-month-old yellow lab died in Salt Lake City after being left in a hot car for about four hours. Officers responded about 2 p.m. to a call about an unresponsive dog in a car in a parking lot.
The lab was removed from the car by an animal control officers. Officers took the dog to the Utah Veterinary Center, where a veterinarian pronounced the dog dead.
The dog’s human told police he’d checked on the dog at 10 a.m., but hadn’t been back outside until after the officers arrived. I’m sure that he is a loving dog person but there’s a chance he could face possible felony or misdemeanor charges.
This type of incident happens far too often, people just don’t realize that the inside of a car on a hot day can reach more than 120 degrees within minutes, and dogs who are left inside can’t sweat, so our organs overheat.
A good rule of thumb is that when the temperature is 70 degrees or higher, it’s too hot to leave an animal in the car. Or just never leave us alone in your car, we get lonesome.
If a dog shows signs of distress from heat — heavy panting, glazed eyes, a deep red or purple tongue, vomiting or staggering — people should help gradually lower their body temperature by using cool water and wet towels and by taking them to a veterinarian.
• I hate fleas they make me itch. It’s practically impossible to keep fleas and ticks completely at bay but there are some steps you can take to try and minimize the opportunities for contact with your pet.
Wildlife, including opossums, coyotes, raccoons, and skunks, and even untreated cats and dogs can deposit flea eggs into a yard. It may be possible to reduce flea infestations by limiting the access these animals have around your house and yard. Your local nursery or garden professional may have some advice on what to plant or other strategies to discourage animal trespassers.
It can be helpful to alter the landscape around your homes to make it unsuitable for ticks and their hosts. For example, keep the lawn mowed, remove leaf litter accumulations and prune shrubs and trees.
Contact a professional pest specialist if you have any questions regarding environmental treatments for ticks.
Despite your efforts to reduce the fleas and ticks in your yards, we may still be exposed to these parasites, so you should take measures to help protect us. Treat all dogs and cats in the household with a flea and tick control product. One untreated pet can lead to a flea infestation in the household. Topical products can help protect your dog from unexpected flea and tick sources by killing adult fleas, eggs and larvae, and all stages of ticks.
Consistency is key. Even one missed dose of your monthly flea and tick control can set the stage for a flea infestation that takes months to resolve, or put your pet at greater risk of exposure to a tick borne disease. So be sure you treat your pet now and continue monthly applications throughout the rest of the year. You know that you hate to see us scratching all of the time.

• Across China and in the city of Yulin, thousands of dogs are being rounded up. Pets have been stolen, and strays are being snatched off the streets. Trucks and motorcycles are roaring into town with cages full of animals captured, some from thousands of miles away, others from nearby provinces… all in preparation for the annual Dog Meat Festival, just weeks away.
The dogs’ journey to this dreaded place—crammed on top of each other and transported for days without food or water—is only the beginning of their suffering.
Once they arrive, they’ll be beaten to death in front of each other; each one waiting, terrified and helpless, until it’s his turn to be pulled out by the neck with iron tongs and hit repeatedly on the head with a metal pole to stop him from fighting. Finally, his throat will be cut open to let the blood run out.
Please urge China to stop this cruelty towards animals now. With support from international and local animal advocates, media, celebrities and—the outraged and appalled—members of the Chinese and global public, momentum is building to stop this barbarity, which brings shame to Yulin and the rest of China.

Not too long ago a commercial fisherman from San Diego lost his wonderful dog Luna after she fell overboard into the Pacific Ocean. Only a month after the incident the one-and-a-half-year-old German shepherd was found on San Clemente Island, around a Navy-owned training base. Luna’s owner, Nick Haworth along with the Navy personnel he had notified searched the waters for about two days searching for Luna at the time of the incident, but found no sign of her. She was presumed to have drowned until staffers arrived for work on this specific morning and found Luna sitting by the side of the road. A biologist examined Luna and found her a little thin but otherwise completely healthy. Luna’s dog tag was lost so the Navy decided to give her a new one. Her new one now says her name but also has a special message on it, a reminder to everyone: “Keep the Faith.”
• The National Dog Bite Prevention Week® takes place during the third full week of May each year, and focuses on educating people about preventing dog bites. I forgot to remind you of this. I keep sooo busy.
With an estimated population of 70 million dogs living in U.S. households, millions of people – most of them children – are bitten by dogs every year. The majority of these bites, if not all, are preventable. If you own a dog then you should know local bite laws; these are good to know if you are the victim of dog bites too.
According to the Center for Disease Control, dog bites were the 11th leading cause of nonfatal injury to children ages 1-4, 9th for ages 5-9 and 10th for ages 10-14 from 2003-2012.
The Insurance Information Institute estimates that in 2013, insurers across the country paid over $483 million in dog bite claims thanks to firms like www.nehoralaw.com.
The U.S. Postal Service reports that 5,581 postal employees were attacked by dogs in 2013.
Children are, by far, the most common victims of dog bites and are far more likely to be severely injured.
Most dog bites affecting young children occur during everyday activities and while interacting with familiar dogs. Senior citizens are the second most common dog bite victims. If you find yourself the victim of a dog bite, you might want to check out someone similar to this Dog Bite Lawyer who might be able to help you with your case.
So if your dog is overly aggressive and might be a biter talk to your vet about prevention and there are lots of good doggie classes taught by local trainers (some are given by the City of Ventura).
• Should you let your pet share your blankets and your bed? A recent Mayo clinic study is challenging the conventional wisdom that animals in the bedroom can mess with your sleep. Whoever came up with such a stupid idea that we can mess with sleep? Maybe your snoring messes with our sleep.
Patricia Sullivan had canine company in bed as soon as she brought home her first puppy.
“He started to cry, and whimper and I felt sorry for him and I put him on my bed and he curled up in a ball and he was asleep and he’s been there ever since,” she said.
Sleep experts have long thought that pets in the bedroom are disruptive to a person’s sleep but a recent Mayo Clinic survey found 41 % of sleep patients who share their beds with their animals find it beneficial.
“If having a pet nearby helps them feel relaxed and gives them a sense of security, which permits them to fall asleep with less difficulty, then I think that is something that does deserve attention,” said Dr. Lois Krahn, a sleep specialist at the Mayo Clinic.
Twenty percent of respondents however, admitted their pets interrupted their sleep.
“They need to know how well they sleep as a person and how well the pet sleeps, they need to take into account the size of the pet,” Krahn said.
Other considerations include the size of the bed and the number of pets you have (It’s just me and Savana, unless Sheldon is considered a pet). Your pets also must be clean and free of fleas.
Even though their barking sometimes wakes her up, she said she wouldn’t have it any other way.
The study did not look at whether different types of pets or different species were more disruptive than others. The study authors say they hope to focus future studies in those areas.
• In celebration if its 84th anniversary, the Humane Society of Ventura County is holding an open house at its Ojai kennel on June 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Paw Works opens storefront in the Pacific View Mall
by my good friend Barbara Hinton
Did you know that there is now a “store” in the Pacific View Mall where you can adopt animals who need homes, purchase pet supplies and shop for gently used clothing? Paw Works, a nonprofit animal rescue organization, opened a pet adoption center in the mall in November of 2015. The center is located on the second level of the mall next to JC Penney.
Paw Works has a second adoption center in Thousand Oaks at the Oaks Mall. The adoption centers allow the organization to introduce rescued cats and dogs to potential adoptive families in a calm and comfortable setting. The Ventura center includes an upscale resale boutique that sells donated clothing and household items, with proceeds benefitting the nonprofit rescue. They accept donations of gently used clothing or other items, and if you call them they will even come and pick up your donations.
Launched in January 2014, Paw Works is dedicated to partnering with county and city shelters to give abandoned animals a second chance at life. The group has saved more than 1,900 pets to date and placed them in caring homes. They have also spayed or neutered close to 250 rescued animals.
Animal rescue work requires the assistance of dedicated volunteers. Paw Works is looking for individuals who are willing to help at the adoption centers or at local adoption events. If you are willing to provide a temporary home for a rescued pet, they also need caring individuals or families that are willing to foster rescued dogs or cats.
Paw Works has accomplished much, but still has more to do. Goals include the acquisition of a mobile spay and neuter van and creating a training facility and sanctuary. For more information on how you can assist Paw Works, please go to their website: www.pawworks.org or email them [email protected].

• Pet cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore if you follow Cesar Millan’s quick and easy tips. You and your pup will both be happier and healthier if you do!
Your dog’s bedding tends to attract a buildup of dirt and grime. Follow these four steps to ensure a clean, comfortable sleep for Fido.
Vacuum the bed regularly to remove hair, dirt, and other debris. Follow up with a lint roller to pull away any hair the vacuum may have left behind.
Wash the cover and the bed base (if it’s machine washable) in cold water. Use a mild laundry detergent—no dyes or fragrance. Add a cup of baking soda to help neutralize odor. Dry for about 20 minutes.
A stinky collar can ruin the pleasures of a freshly groomed dog. But how do you clean a dog collar without damaging the webbing material or hardware? Put a couple of squirts of dog shampoo (which will help prevent skin irritation) in a bowl and fill the bowl with hot water. Let your dog’s collar soak for about 15 minutes. Rub the collar against itself to extract any ground-in dirt. If necessary, apply extra shampoo directly to the collar. Avoid using a brush, which could damage the material. Rinse the collar under running water and hang to dry.
To remove pet hair from furniture, drapes, or other fabric-covered items, use rubber gloves. Slightly dampen a glove on your hand and sweep the fabric with it. Hair will ball up and be easy to pick up. Wash and dry gloves between uses.
The rain (what is that?) means muddy paws, but a little prevention can keep your dog from tracking dirt inside the house. First, trim the hair around your pup’s paws regularly — mud won’t clump to his feet when the hair is kept short. On days that you can’t avoid a little mud, keep a bucket of warm water and a towel near the door.
Over-bathing your dog can cause dry skin, which results in itching and flaking. Avoid these issues—but keep your pup smelling fresh—by giving him a quick dry bath. Brush out his coat first to loosen dead hair, dirt, and debris. Wipe him down with a towel spritzed with a solution of half apple cider vinegar and half water. Follow up by sprinkling baking soda on him and rubbing it in, which will neutralize the smell of the vinegar. Let it sit for a minute or two, then brush it off.
Wash dog toys to keep them germ-free and in good shape for years of enjoyment. For soft toys, pop them in the washing machine, ideally in a garment bag. (Be sure to use dog-safe detergent.) Line dry or put them in the dryer inside a pillowcase. Hard toys can be cleaned in the sink with a solution of 50% water and 50% vinegar and a brush or sponge. An easy alternative: Put your pal’s toys in the dishwasher with her bowls.
Bailey was a C.A.R.L. adoption dog who passed away in April from cancer, she was 14 years old and will be greatly missed by her family.

Some advice from my friends (well, kind of friends)
• Dear Paw’s Corner: We have two dogs that we adopted from shelters: “Kylie,” a beautiful greyhound who is missing one front leg, and “Zu-zu,” a toy poodle, who is about age 16 and is almost completely blind. I’m writing to let readers know that caring for pets with physical challenges can be expensive and challenging. They need to know what they’re in for before adopting a challenged dog. We wouldn’t trade our two “kids” for the world. Kylie is quiet and very determined even though walking can be tough for her. Zu-zu is yappy and can get anxious when she’s home alone, but is loyal and loving. Both have additional physical issues that require more trips to the vet, extra medicines, even special equipment. Please let your readers know to be aware of the challenge they take on when they adopt dogs with illnesses or handicaps. — Karen H., Conway, New Hampshire
Dear Karen: Caring for challenged dogs can be incredibly rewarding, but also difficult. They can have both physical and emotional issues, particularly if they’ve experienced past trauma, neglect or abuse. Before adopting a pet, ask plenty of questions of both shelter supervisors about a pet’s known past, its behaviors and what
• Cesar Millan thinks that humans should be the pack leaders and not us dogs. Maybe he is right, you decide. Here is his advice to humans. I know Savana acts as if she was the pack leader.
Having a dog is a wonderful experience, but in order to have the best possible relationship with your dog, you need to establish yourself as the Pack Leader.
From the moment they’re born, puppies look to their mothers for guidance and training. But once that puppy or adult dog joins your family, the Pack Leader torch gets passed on to you. You need to set rules and boundaries with your dog to ensure both of you lead happy, balanced lives.
If you’re new to this and you’re not quite there yet, don’t worry! You can learn the skills necessary to establish yourself as the Pack Leader. You just need to first identify the areas you need to work on and then put Cesar’s techniques and principals into practice.
If your dog wakes you up, it means he doesn’t respect you. In order to correct this behavior, you will need to change your dog’s habits to let him know that you are the one who will wake him up. So if your pup tries to wake you up, simply ignore him.
Don’t pet your dog when she does something wrong. This affectionate act — or reward — nurtures the very behavior that you don’t want and will only convey that it’s okay for your dog to act that way. Instead, learn how to master affection.
A dog mom makes her babies wait to eat. So it should be no different with you as a Pack Leader. Instinctively, dogs know that the Pack Leaders eat first. So feed yourself before you feed your pup to show that you’re the leader.
Just like with food, dogs instinctively know that the Pack Leader is in control and should be the one to lead. Dogs don’t walk ahead of their Pack Leader, so you will need to change your role if you’re the one following your dog around the house.
Jumping is a dominance behavior. Enough said. So when your dog jumps on you, he’s asserting his dominance over you. But you can’t just jump on your dog, so you need to let your dog know that his jumping isn’t okay and learn how to manage jumping issues.
Without rules, boundaries, and limitations, you make yourself out to be a playmate instead of a leader. Remember, your dog needs to follow a Pack Leader to feel secure and to be balanced. Strive to be your dog’s source of calmness and direction by creating your dog’s calm, submissive state.
She is on your bed, on the sofa, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and going berserk at the front door if anyone dares to ring the bell. You need to set boundaries for your pack, so she knows what is and isn’t allowed. Follow these tips for building boundaries with your dog.
If you haven’t trained your dog in basic obedience, you are losing pack leadership points. Work on teaching your dog these five essential commands to establish yourself as Pack Leader and curb behavior issues.
Yelling is actually the best way of making sure your dog 1) never listens to you, and 2) develops fear and anxiety because of your unbalanced energy. So instead of yelling at your dog — which gets you nowhere, fast — try being calm and assertive.
Remember, when it comes to pack leadership, you are the one in charge. By setting boundaries now, you and your dog will be in great shape towards building your relationship and strengthening your bond for years to come.

• Founded in 2009, The Forgotten Dog Foundation is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization comprised largely of dedicated volunteers who rescue dogs simply for the love of animals, especially those who are forgotten. Combined, the group have rescued well over two thousand dogs. Once saved, each dog gets the medical care they need, are groomed and then cared for in foster homes, and are never housed in caged facilities. An application, home check and one week trial is required before any foundation dog is adopted into a forever home.
As a 501(c)3 foundation, TFD is dedicated to rescuing, re-homing, and rehabilitating dogs in need from the streets and shelters, and from owners who can no longer care for their dogs.

A police dog recently helped catch two suspects in the San Diego area known as Oceanside. The pursuit all began when the police attempted to pull the suspects over for a traffic violation, but then the driver decided to leave the passenger in the car and start running. He ran to a portable outhouse in a strawberry field and then he hid in there. A San Diego County sheriff’s deputy and his dog responded to the call when this all first began. The dog was able to find where the suspect was hiding after he refused to leave the outhouse, the dog forced him out. The police say that both of the men in the car have been arrested and that two semi-automatic pistols and a shotgun were seized. I think it’s fair to say that the police dog definitely saved the day!

• As part of the Ventura Botanical Garden master plan, a new entrance is being built at the Garden trailhead. Bryce Kulzer is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award by working on putting in a drinking fountain for dogs on the trails.
Bryce stated “I have two dogs, Baxter and Clare, that I love taking for walks up the trail. I think having a fountain for dogs would be very beneficial and a meaningful way to help dogs, dog owners and my community. I have found an ideal portable drinking fountain for dogs. It will be located near the greeter table at the entrance.”
“The long term plan is for a permanent fountain, but that will need to wait until there is a water irrigation supply. I would like to ask for donations that will help contribute toward buying the new dog fountain.”
“Any help is appreciated! Additional funds received will help support dog signage at the Gardens, which is also part of the master plan. If you could make a small donation towards this, it would be great for my project and the Gardens. Thanks for your support!”
