Letter from Coastal Canine
“Saving one dog will not change the world,
but surely for that one dog, the world will
change forever”.
~Karen Davison
T
his summer we flew down to Los Angeles to
meet with animal lover, Carrie Ann Inaba. She
welcomed us into her home with her generous
aloha spirit and, surrounded by her rescued pets,
talked with us about the important work of the
Carrie Ann Inaba Animal Project.
Los Angeles is also home of Norman, the scooter dog, and his
guardian, Karen Cobb. Norman delights in wowing audiences
with his amazing skill. But Norman isn’t just a scooter dog
anymore. He skateboards, surfs, and can even ride a bike!
Just south of Los Angeles, a group of dogs share Norman’s
enthusiasm for sports. The “Surfurs” of the Southern California
Surf Dog Club are hanging ten with their two-legged pals. They
invite all levels to join in the fun.
Across the pond in the chilly waters of the Bristol Channel,
you’ll find Whizz, the 180-pound Newfoundland water rescue
dog and his young partner, Ellie, an accomplished seventeenyear-old lifeguard. This wonder team patrols the waters of the
channel, saving lives whenever the need arises.
Right back in our own backyard, take a stroll on the vast
property at Chaminade Resort in Santa Cruz, then enjoy lunch
on the patio at Linwood’s. Take some time out to read about
the adventures of Cejas in Carmel, the whimsical art of Nancy
Schutt, and the life-saving work of the BirchBark Foundation.

Happy Tails Web Designs
Cindy Bell
Six years ago Cindy Bell decided
to combine her love of animals with
her web design skills to help promote
other animal-related businesses.
Cindy started by providing pro bono
and discounted services to local
shelters and rescues. Soon she
had calls coming in from all over
the country to create websites for
humane societies, rescue groups,
groomers, trainers, and other animalrelated businesses.
She just completed a website
for the Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn
Carriages in New York City. Her
client list also includes the El Dorado
Humane Society, creativePAW Rescue,
Holbrook Haven Hospice, and For
Heaven’s Sake.
Cindy shares her life with an
abundance of strays who have
crossed her path and become part of
her family, including cats, chickens,
and a horse. But her inspiration
comes from her two dogs, Linda
and Astro. Linda is a three-year-old
Beagle mix she adopted from the El
Dorado County Animal Shelter, and
Astro is an eight-year-old Cattle Dog
mix who was found abandoned in
a barn. Her connection to her dogs
is strong, and ever since childhood
she has had the uncanny ability to
know what they are thinking and
how they are feeling.
Cindy loves taking the time to
get to know her clients personally,
as well as learning all about their
businesses. She is then able to
create websites that will help their
customer bases find them and
easily interact with them.
P.S. Cindy also accepts non
animal-related clients!

Dashing, masculine, athletic, edgy—
Cantona, the Shepherd/Hound mix
shares all these characteristics with
the man he is named after—Eric “The
King” Cantona, touted to be one of the
greatest ever football (soccer) players
in the United Kingdom.
By Carie Broecker
Cantona the dog, has an eternal puppy look, with his
one ear up and one ear down. It endears people to
him and softens his otherwise intimidating image. He
was on a long and winding road to his current home
and barely escaped with his life. His story starts
when he was found as a stray in Salinas in April 2010
and taken to Salinas Animal Services. He was a big,
bouncy, under-socialized, reactive young dog. His
chances of adoption were slim.
His future started to look brighter when a sneaky
but well-meaning Animal Friends Rescue Project
volunteer slipped him onto a van headed to the
San Francisco SPCA, an organization known as the
birthplace of the no-kill movement. The van had a
number of dogs on board, who had been approved
by the SF SPCA to come into their program. Cantona,
however, was not one of the approved dogs.
As soon as he arrived, he won the hearts of the
shelter staff and volunteers, and they took a
chance on training and socializing him to make him
adoptable. The dog runs at the SF SPCA adoption
center are glass condos, and Cantona would stalk up
to the front of his condo like a wildcat and bark like
crazy at anyone who stopped by to view him. Not a
great first impression!
Beccy Breeze was volunteering at the SF SPCA at the
time. She had worked in the wine/hospitality industry
for years, often putting in close to 80 hours a week.
Her time with the dogs was a rewarding departure
from her work life.
Beccy had no background in dog training when she
started with the SF SPCA, but she was drawn to
working with the big, leash-reactive, unruly, mouthy,
jumpy, shy dogs. Cantona was the exact type of dog
she loved to work with. At 90 pounds, with lots of
puppy energy, Cantona would run full speed into
other dogs as a way of playing. That didn’t go over
well with most of them.
Beccy worked under the tutelage of world-renowned
trainer, Kim Moeller; and Cantona graduated from
Moeller’s “Reactive Rover” class and finally made a
doggie friend. He learned to play nicely with a little

vacations too.
Pit Bull mix, which helped him gain his confidence in social interaction with
other dogs.
Over the several weeks that Beccy volunteered to train Cantona, she fell in
love with him. She was planning a move to Monterey and decided to make
Cantona a part of the family and bring him along. Beccy was so inspired by
her work with Cantona that she made a career change. Once in Monterey,
she started volunteering with the “Take the Lead” program at the SPCA for
Monterey County. She was soon hired as a part-time employee and is now a
full-time assistant pet trainer.
Cantona got a job at the SPCA for Monterey County as well! He works to
socialize dogs who have a rough and tumble play style. He has played with
hundreds of dogs and gently but effectively corrects them when they
get too rough. Teaching a juvenile dog proper manners goes a long way in
creating a stable, adoptable family member.
Cantona is also the SPCA’s demo dog for their “Take The Lead” program
that matches at-risk youth with shelter dogs in need of training. On the first
day of class, Cantona demonstrates all the commands the dogs and their
young trainers will be striving to perfect.

Cantona has come a long way, and he and Beccy have both been diligent
about his training to get him to this point. Beccy likes to remind people that
no dog is perfect. They are perfect in their imperfection. What you are
willing to put into your dog in the way of time, training, and love will result in a
cherished and lifelong family member.

The most common cause of skin
problems in dogs is allergy. There are
several different kinds of allergies, and
these include environmental, food,
contact, and flea or insect. The most
common allergy in dogs, by far, is
environmental, also known as seasonal
or pollen allergy. However, some poor
dogs suffer from multiple allergies,
with environmental and flea allergies
being the most common combination.
paws and bellies, and scratch under
their shoulders or front limbs.
They often have watery, runny eyes
and nose. Sometimes you will see
a bumpy red rash and hair loss—
these can be signs of a bacterial or
yeast infection, which may develop
from the combination of selftrauma and changes in the inherent
structure and function of the skin
that is seen in allergic pets.
What causes allergies in pets?
Allergy season has arrived and
many people and pets are suffering.
Although there are many things in the
environment that can trigger allergies
in pets, pollen is a very common
culprit. The pollens from grasses and
trees float through the air, land on the
skin and in the airways of allergic pets,
and trigger signs such as scratching,
licking, chewing, and rubbing.
Some pets will develop ear
infections as well because the skin
inside the ear canal also becomes
inflamed when the skin is exposed
to environmental allergens. Ear
infections typically cause a pet to
shake its head or scratch at its ears.
Sometimes you have to look inside
the ear to know if your pet has an
ear infection; you may smell a foul
odor or see a lot of brown, waxy
material or even yellow-gray soupy
material inside the ear. It is never
normal to see this kind of material
inside the ears of your pet!
Many pets with pollen allergies will
also have allergies to other things in
their environment, such as house dust
mites, wool, dander, mold, and insects.
These poor guys usually show signs of
itching and/or recurring infections all
year round, and it may get worse in the
spring and fall. The treatment options
and prognosis are the same for pets
with seasonal allergies.
What signs do pets show when
they have allergies?
Pets with environmental allergies most
commonly rub their faces, lick their
Skin and ear infections do require
specific treatment to alleviate
signs and prevent progression to
more serious disease. In addition,
the underlying allergies should be
treated to prevent the infections
from returning.
What can I do to help my pet?
The good news is that there are
many treatment options available

to alleviate your pet’s symptoms.
The most appropriate treatment
is usually determined by the
severity of your pet’s symptoms
and the specific details of your
lifestyle. A dermatologic exam
and open conversation with your
veterinary dermatologist will help
find the right solution for you and
your pet. Most pets do very well
once the right treatment plan
has been determined. Although
some type of lifelong therapy
is usually needed, the intensity
of treatment is almost always
reduced over time. Allergy shots,
also known as “immunotherapy,”
have been shown in some cases
to cure allergies after one to two
years of treatment. Although
uncommon, immunotherapy is
the only treatment option that has
the potential to cure allergic signs
without lifelong therapy.
There is no need for your pet to
suffer. Speak with your family
veterinarian about referral to a
dermatologist. Your pet can be
comfortable during allergy season!

All Photos Courtesy of Newfound Friends
Our dog of the day
is a really big deal
(both figuratively and
literally)! He is a worldrecord holder, a member of the Royal
Navy Reservists’ Swansea rescue team,
and is considered to be the world’s
number one life-dog. In addition, as
a Newfound Friends dog, he helps
promote water safety through the
Royal Life Saving Society. And at a
very lavish ceremony at Guildhall in
London, he was awarded the very first
Dogs Trust Honour, the top canine
award in the UK.
He is also REALLY big. An eight-year-old male
Newfoundland, weighing 180 pounds, ”Whizz” stands six
feet tall when on his hind legs and can drag 12 people
from the water at a time.
By Pam Bonsper
David Pugh, Whizz’s guardian, who has kept “Newfies”
or “Newfs” (as they are affectionately called) for more
than 25 years, says, “When you tell people a dog can
rescue a dozen people they don’t believe you—that’s
why they come and see it.”
The Bristol Harbourside Festival takes place every
summer in England’s Bristol Channel, where Whizz
trains and rescues people. Because of his history of
hundreds of rescues at the yearly festival, Whizz is
a crowd favorite. Accompanied by Ellie Bedford, a
17-year-old who has been working with Whizz since
she was 11 years old, Whizz leaps from boats, flies
through the air, plunges into the water, identifies
struggling swimmers, and pulls them to safety—all
with a smile on his impressively huge face.
But perhaps for Whizz, he is the dog of the day when
he is actually rescuing someone....human or dog!
One of Whizz’s most famous rescues was in 2007.
Topper, an Irish Setter, had run off and fallen into a
Summer 2013 | coastalcaninemag.com | 13
large water-storage tank in the dead of winter. Whizz sensed
the danger and found Topper half dead in the middle of the
tank. He jumped in, pulled Topper to the side, and David
helped both dogs get out. Whizz’s status as a hero was wellestablished not only because of the rescue, but because he did
it without being told. Whizz has been credited with nine reallife rescues, mostly children who ended up in water too deep or
were pulled offshore by a strong current.
How and why are Newfoundland dogs so courageous? It’s in
the genes, but also in the training.
Their homeland is Newfoundland, Canada, where they were
bred to withstand freezing water temperatures and to rescue
swimmers off the Atlantic coast. Flaps of skin between their
toes turn their feet into webbed paws, enabling them to swim
more efficiently. Thick layers of soft oily fur make them not
only irresistible to pet, but provide vital insulation and the
ability to stay afloat. Their size and astonishing strength are
the qualities that round out the recipe for an incredible canine.
But perhaps most of all, an endearing personality that wants
more than anything to save someone, is the final ingredient
that drives a Newfoundland to perform such amazing feats and
gives Newfies the nickname, “the Saint Bernards of the sea.”
Training has a lot to do with Whizz’s success. Since he was a
pup, rigorous training exercises have been part of his routine.
And training with a human partner has been essential. David
says that Whizz and Ellie are an amazing team. “In my 25
years in rescue work, I have never come across anything
like them,” he remarks. “When Ellie first started working
with Whizz, she was not that confident in the water, but my
instinct told me that Whizz could inspire her and give her the
confidence she badly needed.”

Ellie and Whizz in action
David’s instinct was correct. Ellie is now one of the top lifeguards in the UK.
It’s Whizz’s job to provide the strength and ability to help people in trouble,
but as this big “bear” bears down on frantic swimmers, Ellie provides the
human touch and is the one who calms them and tells them what to do.
“A drowning person has the strength of 10 people, and in a panic would
most certainly pull the dog under. The role of the lifeguard is to make sure
the drowning person is well and to convey that the dog is there to help.
Thereafter, the dog performs the rescue,” David explains.
Whizz is not the first dog to save lives in the Bristol Channel. We must give
a paw salute to Swansea Jack, a Labrador who rescued no fewer than 27
people in the 1930s. The yearly festival in Bristol is named after him, as is a
Swansea pub.
I have a feeling Whizz will be equally acclaimed, and that we will see his
name in many prominent places in the future. For now, Whizz, the giant
Newfoundland, the “gentle giant,” is the Whiz K-9 of the sea and Coastal
Canine’s big Dog of the Day!

Norman:
Upright Rider
By Whitney Wilde
Is Norman really a dog—or a kid in a dog suit?
Norman the Scooter Dog has outgrown his
moniker. He doesn’t just scooter anymore—he
skateboards, surfs, rides a bicycle, and pretty much
anything else you ask him to do. There are at least
100 behaviors Norman can do on cue: open cabinets
to get a treat, dry off his face on a towel, and wipe his
feet before coming in the house, to name a few . . .
better than most kids.
Norman just does not look like a real dog; he
looks more like the offspring of Chewbacca and Fozzie
Bear. Norman is a Briard, an ancient French herding
breed, and he was born on July 14, 2009. Professional
dog trainer Karen Cobb got Norman as a pup from
a reputable breeder, and he was welcomed into the
family by Karen’s husband, Chris, and their kids
Kaylee and Bryson.
In 20 years of training dogs, Karen has never had
a dog yearn to learn as much as naturally curious
Norman. Starting around 12 weeks old, he learned
obedience, agility, and herding. Karen uses positive
reinforcement methods that reward a dog for what he
does correctly and, and she ignores his mistakes.
“We do a lot of free-shaping.” Karen explains that
she rewards Norman for demonstrating interesting
behaviors without being asked to or cued, then
shapes those behaviors into tricks. When Norman saw
his family riding scooters, he tried riding a Disney
Princess Scooter and the rest is history. “The scooter
thing just happened,” Karen laughs. “It wasn’t in the
original plan.”
“The key is to make it fun for the dog. If they are
having fun, they will want to learn and will try their
16 | coastalcaninemag.com | Summer 2013
very best. Failure is not fun for your dog.” Karen
continues, “It was easier to teach Norman to ride a
bicycle than it was to teach my daughter.”
Before Norman joined their family, the Cobbs
had started planning a yearlong exploration of
the U.S. and Canada, to begin in April, 2011. In
February of that year, Norman appeared on David
Letterman’s “Stupid Pet Tricks” riding his scooter,
and it started a storm of public appearances: The
Ellen DeGeneres Show, Rachel Ray, Good Morning
America, Inside Edition, TMZ, Dogs 101, Wheel
of Fortune, and over forty different local news
programs throughout the country. Norman even
became a cartoon, Super Scooter Dog, on the
Cartoon Network.
The Cobb family and Norman left on their trip
as planned, but after seven months the trip was
cut short when Natural Balance Pet Foods asked
Norman to co-star in the TV show “Who Let the
Dogs Out” with Tillman, the skateboarding Bulldog.
The two canines tour the country searching for
other inspirational or uniquely talented dogs.
Norman’s fame has given the Cobb family some
incredible adventures. They have been backstage
at Universal Studios, taken a behind-the-scenes
Safari tour at the San Diego Zoo, and ridden in
the Rose Parade on the Natural Balance float that
was specially designed so that Norman and his pals
could surf real waves atop the float!
Norman knows not all dogs are as fortunate
as he is – they are sitting in local shelters or with
rescue groups, just waiting for a loving family to

Norman came from a reputable breeder—someone who
breeds to improve a breed and ensure that a pup’s health will
be as good as possible. Norman says if you must buy from
a breeder, only buy from a breeder listed on the National
Breed Club’s Breeder Referral list. Please do not buy from
backyard breeders, puppy mills, or pet stores! (Pet stores
that adopt out pets from local rescue groups are acceptable.)
Regardless of where you get your new furry family
member, Norman is living proof that they will forever
change your life!

Norman’s Facebook page has updates, lots of

of the Day,” such as this one: Don’t wear sunglasses
when training. Your dog needs to see your eyes.

Surfurs
By Neil Pearlberg
n many of California’s surf breaks it is
no longer a passing fancy that you
may see man’s best friend surfing
tandem with his guardian.
If you think about it, our canine
compadres are likely blessed
with superior balance with their
lower center of gravity and four
legs that would make surfing less
challenging than for their two-legged
guardians.
Though man first took to surfing waves here on the U.S.
mainland in 1885, man has long been accompanied by
his dog on long ocean voyages, dating back to the days
of Christopher Columbus.
Fast forward to 2009. Meet Peter Noll, himself an
accomplished architect and surfer. He fell in love
with surfing in 1963 when his family relocated from
Massachusetts to San Diego. He then became even
more enamored when Nani, his Bernese Mountain
Dog, joined him in the ocean, sat on his surfboard, and
coasted all the way into shore on her first attempt. At
that point, Nani was also hooked.
Nani’s love of surfing in the warm turquoise waters of
San Diego inspired Noll to rally others with surf-loving
canines to create the Southern California Surf Dogs
(www.socalsurfdogs.com). The So Cal Surf Dogs Club
promotes safe dog surfing and fun for dog owners and
their surf dogs (or SurFURS), to support the mental
and physical health of both, It is mandatory for all furry
participants to don canine life jackets, so they will at no
time be placed in any danger
During weekends at dog beaches, Noll takes note of the
size of the swell and the ability of the water-loving dogs
who are giving canine surfing a try for the first time. He
must guide each dog safely in the surf and then time
the release of the board to catch the perfect wave so
that the dog can glide to shore. Once that tail starts
wagging when they hit the shore, he knows he has a
happy “SurFUR.”
The original canine members of the surf club,
answering to the names of Antonio, Dozer, Guido,
Kalani, King, and Kong, to name a few, have been posted
on billboards and calendars, and watched by millions all
over the world on videos and television newscasts. Many were part of the four-legged pack to set not one,

but three, Guinness World Records for most
dogs on a surfboard (17), most dogs with a
surfer (8), and most dogs with a two-person
tandem (8) at Imperial Beach in San Diego. Noll has enjoyed posting world records, but
the group’s role in helping to raise thousands
of dollars for various pet and people charities
is where he takes the most pride.
Each summer, many of the So Cal Surf Dogs
participate in the Loews Coronado Bay Resort
(San Diego) Surf Dog Competition. The
competition unleashes a host of friendly fun
and raises funds for animal charities. Whether
catching a wave with a furry friend or seeking
fun on the beach with friends and family, the
attendees can expect to see much skill, and
laughter as they take to the glorious Imperial
Beach.

Wherever the ocean touches the land
in the U.S., dogs of all breeds, shapes
and sizes can be seen “Hangin’ Ten”
on the front of their board, gliding
across the waves like a low-flying
pelican seeking its next meal.
There are few sports in which man
can include his canine friend. The
sport of surfing is blessed in that in
enables us to share the waves, the
fun, and all that the ocean has to
offer. It is just one more way our dogs
continue to give us telltale signs to
enjoy everything life has to offer.

The Curious
Adventures of
Cejas the
Dog
By Maggie Van Ostrand
ome may think it’s going too far to want to
marry a dog, but since humans have pawed
me often enough and marriages to them
haven’t worked out, I may as well go straight
to the source and get pawed by someone
who doesn’t expect anything more than good oldfashioned petting. That’d be my dog, Cejas. I love my dog
as much as Leon Panetta loves his mother’s gnocchi.
be right, since George Lucas created Chewbacca
after he saw his own dog sitting on the passenger
seat of the car: a “gentle, hairy, non-English-speaking
co-pilot.” And Cejas also loves to sit on the passenger
seat and is gentle, hairy, and a co-pilot; he does,
however, speak English, and frequently quotes
Groucho Marx, who said, “Outside of a dog, a book is
man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read.” Cejas is a fascinating little fellow, though somewhat
spoiled since Carmel Beach regulars often tell him he’s
the cutest dog they’ve seen all morning. When he was
first rescued from the mean streets, he walked; now he
struts. His favorite places are Carmel Beach, the dog
spa at The Crossroads, and Mission Trail, where he can
serenely commune with nature. Cejas has a great sense of humor, is well mannered
and, best of all, he is as great a communicator as
Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton, especially on long,
cross-country trips.
Cejas is of uncertain ancestry and people who meet him
love to guess what his lineage might be. Clint Black and
Lisa Hartman said he looks like Chewbacca. They might

Traveling east from California to everyplace else, we
drove through a hard-hitting hailstorm outside of
Nashville, with huge icy missiles crashing onto the
roof of the car with such force, they pocked the paint.
Cejas seemed amused when I suggested that either
Tiger Woods was teeing off, Serena Williams was
cc | feature
lobbing a few, or a heavenly Minnesota Fats was saying “Hail ball in the
side pocket!” Cejas never whined, “Are we there yet?” nor did he object when I screamed
obscenities at the GPS for directing us into a tunnel wall in Asheville, North
Carolina.
At heart, he’s an explorer, taking every opportunity for adventure that
presents itself. When we saw a sign in Kentucky saying it was only 20 miles to
Lincoln’s birthplace, I asked Cejas, “Do you want to go?” He propelled both
ears forward into drive, speed-wagged his tail in circles faster than the prop
on Eastwood’s helicopter, and shot his tongue out the side of his mouth. He
also passed along everything he knew about Lincoln’s dog. Cejas has been
full of such trivia ever since he gave up immature tail chasing and learned
how to read. (He prefers spending his allowance at River House Books to
using a Kindle.)
Lincoln, Cejas informed me, gave his dog the unimaginative name of “Fido”
and, like that wasn’t bad enough, he named his horse “Bob.” But I digress. Fido
was a floppy-eared, rough-coated, big tan dog who used to wait outside Billy
the Barber’s shop chasing his tail for amusement while Lincoln got a haircut.
Fascinating. Even the ranger guarding the log cabin, didn’t know that.
Like his idol, Groucho, Cejas has a dry sense of humor. In Memphis, parked
across from Graceland next to Presley’s jet, the “Lisa Marie,” he went into an
uncanny impersonation of the famous Elvis sneer. (It did not detract from the
effect when he finally admitted his lip had been caught on a tooth.)

Cejas is like the Coast Guard: always ready. We got into a “no pets” motel
in Albuquerque only because he agreed to walk on his hind legs and wear a
trench coat. In Amarillo, he passed as a seeing-eye dog when I donned a pair
of sunglasses, and fitted him with a fake harness made out of an umbrella rib.
In El Paso, we sashayed up to the front desk of a hotel and glommed on to a
prominently placed sign: “No dogs allowed.” Too tired to find another place, I
said to the clerk, “This is not just a “dog” dog. He is a retired movie dog.” A wiry
young manager appeared, wearing horn-rimmed glasses and a bow tie, which
he nervously snapped against his Adam’s apple. He sniffed, “I understand you
have a movie dog? What might I have seen him in?” I said he had been a stunt
dog in “Benji,” and an extra in “101 Dalmatians.” “Really?” said the manager,
“I think I remember seeing him!!” We ended up in a ground-floor suite
with a sliding-glass door leading directly onto a large grassy area. Superbly
mannered, Cejas left no reminders on the grass that he had ever been there
(in exchange for which we were charged only for a single).
Cejas tried to share driving duties with me but the DMV refused to issue
him a learner’s permit. Everybody knows how much red tape there is at any
bureaucracy, so you can imagine what it’s like for a dog. (The only good thing
about applying for a canine license in California is that there’s no line.)
A big benefit to having Cejas as a mate is that I can introduce him to my
girlfriends without fear they’ll seduce him, since most of them probably
wouldn’t want to date such a short and hairy guy whose favorite hobby is
rolling around on Carmel seaweed.

Love is the most beautiful thing
in this world. But the love of
an animal is the purest thing
in this world. Everyone should
experience this type of love. It is
very healing and our world could
use a little healing right now.
~Carrie Ann Inaba
C
Carrie Ann Inaba
graciously invited
Coastal Canine into
her Los Angeles home
to find out more
about her passion
for animals, to meet
and photograph her
furry family (which
includes two new
rescue puppies,
Lola and Buddy; her
little Chihuahua mix,
Peanut; and her four
kitties, Squeaker, Taz,
Mimi, and Blizzard),
and to learn about her
inspiration for starting
the Carrie Ann Inaba
Animal Foundation.
Carrie Ann is a successful singer,
choreographer, dancer, and
judge on the popular television
show, Dancing with the Stars,
but her heart belongs to the
animals. From the beginning of
her show business career, Carrie
Ann always knew a successful
career would be the means that
would enable her to help as
many animals as possible. She
still dreams of one day creating a
Summer 2013 | coastalcaninemag.com | 25
cc | feature
sanctuary where she can be surrounded by the
animals that she respects and loves so dearly.
Growing up in Hawaii next to a wildlife preserve,
Carrie Ann was instilled with the value of being
the “keeper of the wild.” Mentored by her father,
a devoted animal lover, she has always felt her
job was to watch over and protect the animals. In
Hawaii, she had not been exposed to the animal
overpopulation crisis. She hadn’t been to a
shelter or volunteered for a rescue group.
It wasn’t until decades later, while looking for a
place to volunteer her time with animals, that
Carrie Ann got a quick education in the daily crisis
faced by thousands of dogs and cats across the
country, living out their finals days in a shelter,
terrified and alone.
She signed up with iparticipate.org, which
connects people with the perfect volunteer
opportunity for them. Somehow she got on
several email lists identifying animals in need at
local shelters.
26 | coastalcaninemag.com | Summer 2013
Each day her inbox was filled with photos
and stories about dogs and cats in shelters
needing medical care, needing foster homes,
needing money for boarding, needing
transportation to safety, needing one more
day, needing someone to care. There seemed
to be endless photos of cats and dogs in need.
It was overwhelming, but Carrie Ann started
writing checks. She wrote as many as she
could from her personal account. She would
send $150 here, $100 there. She did whatever
she could do to help save a life.
Carrie Ann soon learned about the incredible
network of devoted rescuers who are saving
lives. She learned how many people it takes
to save one dog or one cat. From the animal
control officers, to the volunteer who sends
out the email looking for a commitment from
a rescue group, to the rescue group who puts
out the plea for sponsorship and foster care,
to the person who picks up the animal and
transports him to the vet clinic or foster home,
to the family who fosters, to the family who
adopts. It does take a village to rescue each and
every dog and cat.
One day Carrie Ann got an email from one of the
rescue groups with a photo of a 10-year-old Boxer.
She couldn’t even see the dog’s face, but her body
language broke Carrie Ann’s heart. She knew she
had to save her. The next day she adopted her and
named her Cookie. She had been neglected and
abused. She probably spent most of her life in a
crate. Her body was covered with cigarette burns.
She was a nervous dog. Carrie Ann fell in love with
her, and Cookie blossomed and learned to trust,
and in the last 18 months of her life, she learned
what love was. And it was good.
Before Cookie passed away, Carrie Ann adopted
a second dog, little Peanut. Carrie Ann was doing
a broadcast, Access Hollywood Live, and they
were interviewing someone from Best Friends
Animal Society. Throughout the broadcast,
Carrie Ann held Peanut, a black Chihuahua mix.
Peanut shivered with nervousness throughout the
broadcast. Three weeks later, Carrie Ann got
a call from Best Friends. Peanut still needed a
home. Could they put in another plug for her?
Carrie Ann said, “I’ll come adopt her!”
Cookie didn’t quite know what to make of
Peanut, but Peanut adored Cookie and
showered her with love. The highlight of her
morning was waking up to give Cookie a kiss on
the nose. It was a very sad day for both Carrie
Ann and Peanut when Cookie passed away
earlier this year.
Carrie Ann’s inspiration to start the Carrie Ann
Inaba Animal Project came after her soul mate
kitty, Shadow, passed away.

Carrie Ann wants to
learn every aspect of
rescue work so she can
be confident that the
money the CAI Animal
Project contributes is
doing the most good
that it can.
Carrie Ann shared, “When my cat of 19 years
passed away, I was devastated. And I wanted
to do something in his honor. He had saved
me on so many occasions. He was like an
angel to me and he inspired me to do more
for animals in hopes that these animals could
then be found homes and given the same kind
of incredible love that I had experienced with
him.” That was her inspiration for starting the Carrie
Ann Inaba Animal Project. In Shadow’s honor,
Carrie Ann’s own nonprofit raises funds
to support rescue groups that are doing
outstanding work for homeless cats and dogs.
In less than a year, her foundation has given
out over $42,000 in emergency medical
grants and rescue funds. 28 | coastalcaninemag.com | Summer 2013
Her foundation also sponsors free spay and
neuter events in Los Angeles to help reduce the
number of unwanted puppies and kittens who
often end up dumped at city shelters that have to
euthanize them when there is no more space.
There are also plans to start a program in the
schools to teach children about the humananimal bond and our lifetime responsibility to our
pets.
Carrie Ann wants to learn every aspect of rescue
work so she can be confident that the money
the CAI Animal Project contributes is doing the
most good that it can. To that end, she recently
decided to foster two puppies from Mary’s Little
Lambs Rescue so she could have the experience
of fostering.
cc | feature
She saw a photo of Buddy and Lola in an
email post asking for help. They were leaning
against each other. They had been found on
the streets as strays, and she knew that all
they had was each other. There were people
offering to foster one or the other of the pups,
but Carrie Ann couldn’t bear the thought of
them being separated. She offered to foster
them both. At the time of our interview, she
was very close to making them permanent
members of the family. There was a little
hurdle to get over with teaching them to
respect the kitties, but with the help of a
trainer and self-appointed referee, Peanut,
they’re beginning to abide by the rules of the
household.
Carrie Ann is that much closer to living on the
sanctuary she’s been dreaming of!
The CAI Animal Project is dedicated
to supporting the rescue, welfare and
wellbeing of animals. The CAI Animal Project
collaborates with other rescue and animal
organizations by funding and creating unique

Chaminade a Santa Cruz
Shangri-la
By Whitney Wilde & GiGi, the Belgian Malanois
W
ant to take a quick trip to paradise? A quiet
place away from the insanity of summer
vacationers? A canopy of trees as your
umbrella on a rainy day?
Chaminade is a private, upscale resort and spa
sitting atop 300 forested acres, with lush green hiking
trails many locals know nothing about.
Hiking in Chaminade is a treat for you and
your pooch’s senses. With almost every step, the
environment changes: the air temp, the scents, the
sounds, and the sights.
GiGi and I are hiking the Red Trail today—the
shorter (1.25 miles) and slightly easier of Chaminade’s
30 | coastalcaninemag.com | Summer 2013
two trails. We begin on a wide oaky brown dirt trail
edged with beautiful scarlet poison oak. We hear birds
chirping and the faint sounds of city life. The start
of the Red Trail is NOT well marked, so we have to
lookout for a smaller trail that cuts off to the left (see
downloadable map on their website).
The trail narrows quickly and the cool covers us
as we descend into moss-covered redwoods, winding
downward on switchbacks. The trail sometimes drops
two feet at a time. Redwoods here are tall, but not oldgrowth. In late autumn there are mushrooms, rich in
color: browns, yellows, and bright reds. Careful where
you step; the “leaves” on the ground might be the
golden mascots of UCSC—banana slugs. There is a
cc | dog walks
perfume of bay and redwood, but the pooches are sniffing the tales
and tails of deer and woodland critters. The sounds of civilization are
falling away.
The lower we go, the greener it gets, until we reach the forest
floor. We are then submerged in a viridian sea of lacy ferns, along
with feathery horsetails, giant three-leaf clovers called redwood
sorrels, and miner’s lettuce that’s right along the creek.
We see little spots of color in purple periwinkles, red
thimbleberries, and white star flowers. And some flowers hint at love
and magic: blue forget-me-nots, bleeding hearts, and delicate fairy
lanterns.

It is so quiet here, and we take a moment to catch our breath,
inhale the rich loamy aroma, and let our minds come to rest . . .
hitting the mental “reset” button.
Following the trail, we come to where it intersects with the Blue
Trail at the Villa. Now coming down the Blue Trail, we meet Foxy
the Fox Terrier and her two dads from San Francisco. “Is that place
haunted?” they ask as they point at the Villa. Built in 1914 by thenowner Judge Curtis Lindley, the Villa has fallen in disrepair the last
couple of years.
Keep to the trail on the left and it will slowly climb, passing the
ropes course designed for team building, and then emerge at the
tennis courts. Go left to return to where you parked.
“My Secret Hike” is a third trail adjacent to Chaminade, and it
is mostly gentle slopes and oaks. Enter the Chaminade property
through a gateway at Santa Cruz Gardens Park. Keep right and it
will go through another gateway. This trail goes up a hill to where
there are houses and a view of Monterey Bay. On the left (past
the A-frame) is a trail that quickly becomes a winding single-file
meander among the oaks. I’ve never hiked to the end, so you’ll have
to let me know where it goes!
Be sure to download a trail map from the Chaminade website (see
below). It is best to start on the upper trail and return via the lower
trail. On the map, you would start off heading toward the “gates,”
then go down the “Steep Hill,” and then loop around to the tennis
courts and back to where you parked.

It started with doodles. Big dogs,
little dogs, furry dogs; the little
girl known as Nancy Schutt would
draw them endlessly. But like so
many talented people, Schutt had
to grow up and work through a few
other careers before she returned
to her true passion. Now the
award-winning artist paints dog
portraits of subjects from around
the country.
“When I started 20 years ago, no one specialized
in dog portraits,” Schutt said from her Seattle home.
The field has since expanded enough to earn its own
online magazine, Dog Art Today (dreamdogsart.
typepad.com). Schutt’s work often has a whimsical
touch and uses the guardian’s story about his or
her story to create the right setting for it. Many
portraits feature the subject’s favorite ball. Sadly,
34 | coastalcaninemag.com | Summer 2013
many guardians don’t consider having a portrait of
their best friend painted until he is dying or already
dead.
Schutt grew up outside of Chicago, where dogs
were always a part of her life. She fondly recalled
Mitzi, a doxie-mix, and “a little mutt” named Scamp.
Those two may have been her first muses. A little
Chihuahua-mix named Pablo that Schutt found as a
stray almost 10 years ago fills that role today.
Schutt attended Colorado State University, then
earned an M.F.A. from the University of Oregon. She
used her talent as a courtroom artist for about four
or five years until the horrors that were revealed
finally got to her. “There were a couple of trials that
broke my heart,” she recalled.
Deciding to switch gears, Schutt got her
contractor’s license and started a women’s
construction company. When that fell apart as a
result of the economy, she moved to Seattle and
worked as both a consultant and a worker in the
construction field. That city has been her home for
the last 25 years.

Although there were the day jobs, Schutt never
put down her paintbrush for any length of time.
When her mother saw a portrait she had painted of
her sister’s dogs, she urged her daughter to pursue
dog portraiture as a full-tine job. Schutt did a show
of the portraits she painted of her friends’ dogs, and
the commissions began to trickle in.
the secret to good art is working fast so you don’t
have time to think about it.”
“I did a lot of paintings,” said Schutt, referring
to her earlier work. “But it got a lot easier with
dogs.” Asked why, she said she did not have to
conceptualize first; the subject was already there.
Whether she uses a paintbrush or stylus, Schutt
lays her groundwork the same. She takes photos,
makes sketches, and interviews the guardian
extensively about their dog. When Schutt began,
she was able to meet her subject since most of the
business was local. As her reputation spread, she
began to get more work nationwide. She estimates
that half her work is commissioned through phone
interviews and photos sent by the client.
Lately, Schutt has found an exciting new
medium with which to create dog portraits: the iPad.
It is much less time consuming since she can draw
a portrait in a couple of days, when it used to take
weeks to finish a painting. “As an artist, you get
caught up in doing it just right,” said Schutt. “But
Not surprisingly, Schutt gets a lot of repeat
business. “Some of my clients are on their second
or third animal,” she said. Since that usually means
the previous dog she painted is no longer alive, it is a
bittersweet commission. “When a client calls to tell
me their dog died, I weep every time.”

Linwood’s Bar & Grill and
the Sunset Restaurant at
Chaminade Resort
It’s not often a mutt like me gets an to go on
an upscale outing with an awesome view, tasty
nuggets that “accidentally” fall on the floor, and
this thing called “valet parking.”
I love Chaminade’s patio and the sights and
scents there. It has the best view in Santa Cruz
and is usually sunny and not affected by fog.
Looking out over the treetops at Monterey Bay,
it is not unusual to see a wedding under the
bougainvillea archway. We watched nuptials that
included a pooch as the ring dog!
The patio is served by two restaurants:
Linwood’s Bar & Grill and the Sunset Restaurant.
Both restaurants offer dishes that are fresh, local,
seasonally-inspired, and organic (when possible).
They have dishes for carnivores, fishetarians, and
vegetarians.
Linwood’s Bar & Grill
Linwood’s knows just how to spoil a pup with
their Pooch Patio Menu featuring yappetizers,
entrees, and doggie deserts! Just a small taste of
the menu: Canine Hamburger Sliders, Muttballs,
Coho Salmon, and for desert… Peanut Butter
Bacon Pupcakes and Honey Banana Pupcicles!
For your two-legged friends, Linwood’s offers
an eclectic menu of munchies for lunch or dinner:
pizzettas, creative salads, Vietnamese spring
rolls, fire roasted artichokes, butternut squash
ravioli, scrumptious sandwiches, and more. My
mom loves the fish tacos filled with Mahi Mahi,
mango relish, fresh salsa, black beans and
cabbage salad.
Sunset Restaurant
Let me just say this: my humans do not seem
to fully grasp the concept of an all-you-can-eat
buffet, and I wish they would let me show them a
thing or two. At the Sunset Restaurant, breakfast,
lunch, and dinner are served buffet style with
extra stations where chefs prepare your fare any
way you want. My people say the salad bar is
the best around, though I have yet to even get
a bone from it. I have taste tested a few small
bites of the most tender and juicy prime rib, and
honestly, I just can’t get enough.
It is the Sunday Champagne Brunch that gets
my two-legged friends drooling like St. Bernards
and makes any Sunday feel like a special
celebration. They start with fresh-squeezed
orange juice (maybe with champagne in it). There
is an omelet station where you choose from
an assortment of ingredients, and the chef will
cook it just the way you want it. The buffet offers
scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, sausage, bacon,
and a variety of potatoes. There is a fruit and
salad bar; a waffles, breads, and pastries table;
a carving station that includes prime rib; and a
table of delectable desserts.
The restaurants at Chaminade have it all—
and it makes me feel pawsitively pedigreed!

Dr. Merrianne Burtch and
Bunny Tavares
www.birchbarkfoundation.org
Dr. Merrianne Burtch can’t
remember a time when she did not
have a dog or a cat. When she was in
kindergarten she wrote in her school
notebook, “When I grow up, I want
to be a veterinarian.”
When Merrianne was 14 years
old, her mother encouraged her to
volunteer at the local veterinary
clinic to test the waters and see if
being a vet was really her calling.
And it was. She stuck with the
vet clinic, working weekends and
summers all through high school
and college, and eventually achieved
diplomate status in the American
College of Veterinary Internal
Medicine.
Over the years, Dr. Burtch has
seen too many people who have had
to euthanize their pets. They dearly
loved their furry family members
with a curable condition, but could
not afford treatment because of
financial difficulties.
The idea for a solution to this
problem had been percolating in
her mind for years. Inspired by
the success of local rescue groups,
Dr. Burtch felt the community
would rally around and support an
organization whose purpose was to
provide medical care for dogs and
cats whose guardians who could not
afford major medical intervention
for their pets. In 2012 she decided
the time was right to start such an
organization, and the BirchBark
Foundation founded.
The BirchBark Foundation helped Sarah and Michael Hoppe pay for
a much needed surgery for their dog Chloe, who injured both legs
after she fell off a cliff.
Dr. Burtch asked longtime
client and friend, Bunny Tavares,
who had a background in nonprofits,
fundraising, and public relations,
to head the organization as its
executive director. Bunny was an
animal lover who knew firsthand
the difficulties of providing medical
care for a pet when finances are
stretched. Bunny volunteered her
time to take Dr. Burtch’s dream and
apply her own nonprofit knowledge
and expertise. Together they have
created a much-needed organization
that now serves Monterey and Santa
Cruz counties.
The BirchBark Foundation
has already helped their first five
clients and have more applications
for help coming in daily. Chloe, an
exuberant, lively, healthy four-yearold Golden Retriever-Lab mix fell
off a cliff while hiking and severely
injured her front legs and required
a surgery her guardians could not
afford. Lacie, an adorable two-anda-half-year old Shih Tzu, ran into
the street to greet a family member
and was struck by a fast-moving
truck. Lacie sustained several pelvic
fractures and needed extensive
surgery that her guardians could
not afford. Gus, an eight-year-old
Pit Bull Katrina survivor, is in
training to be a service dog. Gus
developed a heart condition and
needed expensive diagnostics and
heart medication that his guardian
could not afford. The BirchBark
38 | coastalcaninemag.com | Summer 2013
Foundation was able to arrange for
medical care all of these needy cases.
The BirchBark Foundation’s
goal is to take the financial equation
out of life-and-death decisions and
provide educational tools so pet
guardians can make well-informed
decisions about the health and wellbeing of their pets—from the heart,
not the pocketbook.
Rules and fees are subject to change; please check ahead
before visiting.
General rules include: Dogs must be kept on leash, picked up
after, and never left unattended. Some camping areas may
require a current rabies certificate and charge a minimal daily
fee for dogs. As always, be aware of strong tides, currents, cliffs
and steep drop offs beyond the tide line.
