s I sit here writing, I
finally feel like summer
is arriving. With the past
few weeks of rain, I think we
were all starting to feel the
effects. But, (fingers crossed)
today is a beautiful and
balmy 80 degrees and has
me thinking about all
the possibilities!
I’m hopeful that the rest of the summer will be like today because you may not
have noticed but there are oodles of great events going on in the area. These
events are not just about fun in the sun with your pups, but many are fundraisers to help support our areas homeless animal shelters and rescues. Given the
state of the economy, these shelters can really use your support, and if there is
one thing I’ve learned over the years it’s that giving of yourself by volunteering
or donating gives back tenfold. I know many of you are strapped for cash or
looking for jobs, but sometimes the best thing to do is to extend a hand and
then enjoy the pleasure you feel when you’ve helped someone else in need.
Now if there is another thing I’ve been reminded of lately, it’s that after you have
given of your time, you should also make time for yourself. If you’re reading this,
chances are you are lucky enough to share your life with a pet, which means you
already know how great it is to take a relaxing adventure with them. In honor
of pampering yourself and your pets, we have featured a great article on visiting
Block Island with your dogs. So, if you’re short on funds but want to feel like
a million bucks, think about a day trip to Block Island where for the cost of a
ferry ride, you’ll feel like you’ve arrived in paradise.
Whatever you do this summer, we hope you relax, de-stress, and remember the
important things in life.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Georgia

Dog Snatcher
Dogs are often used to fight crime, but one opportunistic canine
decided to turn the tables on that arrangement. The perfect place for a
heist? A grocery store. Forget banks! Cash doesn’t taste good. After
staking out the front to make sure he had a getaway route, the dog
sauntered in through the main door like he owned the place. He even
gave one cashier a friendly sniff, as caught on security cameras.
Waltzing straight over to the pet food aisle, the dog snatched a
rawhide bone. But then, just as he was making his way out the door
and planning his life in crime, the store manager blocked the exit.
“Drop it!” he commanded. At this point, the shrewd thief did a quick
assessment. Hmmm … the manager wasn’t holding a rolled-up
newspaper, and he only had two legs – no contest in a chase. The dog
couldn’tsee how the manager could reclaim the loot, so he bolted and
hasn’t been seen since.

Go ahead and cross off your furry
friends from your flu fear list.
According to a recent statement from
the ASPCA, the H1N1 virus,
unfortunately known as “Swine
Flu”—is not likely to jump the species
barrier again, and start infecting cats
and dogs.
“At this time there is no data
demonstrating any risk of dogs and
cats contracting this strain of the
virus,” says Dr. Louise Murray, the
Director of Medicine at the ASPCA’s

Brooke
Mayo
Continued from page 11.
B
rooke Mayo will tell you that her
career as a photographer started with
dogs. She actually had an interest in dogs
longer than photography, but a series of dog
portraits from her uncle really piqued her interest
in capturing dog’s moments with a camera.
“Combining the best of both worlds; photography
and dogs, has allowed me to grow as an artist.”
After studying photography at Appalachian State
University and The University of Western Sydney
in Australia, Mayo worked with Joyce Tenneson
and Lois Greenfield in New York City. Traveling to
some of the most fascinating places on earth
allowed her to gain experience and solidify a love
of photography. During this time, Mayo also
realized that her childhood home was a place she
wanted to call “home” again, and moved to
North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 2003.
Brooke Mayo has been photographing weddings,
portraits and dogs for more than six years and
is recognized as one of the Outer Banks’ leading photojournalists. She is currently producing
an underwater art book called, Diving Doggies:
A Celebration of Dogs at Play, which documents
“diving dogs” at play. Brooke is also offering
destination doggie shoots, traveling around
the country photographing dogs on land
and underwater.
While a major part of Mayo’s photography
business is weddings, it’s the “Underwater Dogs”
project that truly captures her heart.
“I thrive on the unseen moments underwater,
those few precious seconds that are missed
observing playtime above water. Taking my
camera below the surface of the water allowed me
to explore another world that creates so much joy
for dogs.”
Mayo lives in North Carolina’s Outer Banks with
her husband John Wright, a winemaker and her
dogs Weebler and Biskers.

Is your landscaping
going to the dogs?
DOG-SCAPING 101
written by Susan Parker
A
s a successful garden designer and gardener in the
late 1990’s, I designed many gardens for weddings
as well as worked as a garden designer for a golf
course. While I still putter in my own garden, my love of
dogs seems to have outweighed my love of plants. But with
plenty of trial and error, I have come up with some very
productive ways to enjoy both. Believe it or not, you can
have both dogs and attractive landscaping just by becoming
a bit creative, but dogscaping does come with a
few compromises.
Hardscape
Dogs and lawn grass don’t mix well, so for small areas,
consider switching from a grass to hardscape. Hardscape
consists of stone walls, brick patios, tile paths, and wooden
arbors. Anything used in landscaping that is not part of the
softscape can be considered a hardscape element, including
water fountains, statues, large rocks, bridges and yes, even
pink flamingo’s.
Dedicate a special place in your yard for pets that have
passed away by using statues, flowers, and stepping stones.
this is a nice way to memorialize pets that have crossed over
to the rainbow bridge. If you use lumber in any of your designs, make sure it does not contain preservatives and is not
treated with CCA, which has been linked to disease. Stone
and masonry are great for dog landscaping because they
minimize the mess dogs make through urination, digging
and wear & tear. Crushed stone mulch is is another good
hardscape. It maintenance-free, holds up to dog traffic, and
provides a sharp look.
Grass & Dog Spots
If you have to have a “green carpet” of grass, consider
switching to a different type of grass. Some grasses hold up
better to paw traffic than others. A cool-season grass you
may wish to try is Kentucky bluegrass. Using a tougher type
of grass will solve only one lawn-care problem encountered
in landscaping with dogs: wear and tear on grass. It will do
nothing to solve the problem of “dog spots.” Dog spots are
the yellow spots on grass caused by the nitrogen and salts in
dog urine. Urine is alkaline and contains salt that slightly
alters the soil pH. There is a type of “green carpet” that
solves the problem of dog spots: clover. Clover lawns have
advantages over grass lawns. Clover doesn’t stain the way
grass does after being subjected to dog urine.
I have also seen some useful peeing fire-hydrant for dogs
to pee on… plastic fire hydrants are approximately 18” X
8” and are also an excellent conversation piece. Affix the
hydrant to a spot on your lawn where you would like your
dog to pee regularly.
Do not let poop sit in your yard; try always to pick it up
soon after the dog eliminates. Having a doggie poop bag station in the back yard makes clean ups fast and easy.
Fertilizer & Mulch
During the spring and summer people fertilize their lawn to
keep it healthy and green. Fertilizer itself is not bad; but for
animals it is definitely bad. Be extremely careful using
fertilizers for lawns or plants when you have a dog yard.
When fertilizing your lawn, do the front and the back
sections at separate times, so your dog can have one yard.
Keep dogs and cats away from newly fertilized lawns and
gardens and away for pesticides, too. If possible, keep your
dog in a fenced backyard without chemicals. Too many pets
become sick and die after eating plant food or fertilizer.
Before adding ornamental plants to your yard, find out if
they’re toxic to animals. Your dog should wait at least 24
hours after you fertilize, to be able to use the lawn. NEVER use Coco mulch in
your yard as it is toxic to dogs and many dogs are are attracted to the scent and
will eat the mulch.
Fences and Borders for Dog-Friendly Yards
One way to keep dogs away from the plants in your yard is to build fences around
them. Plant some flowers behind a white picket fence, giving your yard an English
country garden look. Raised beds work well and are easy to fence around. Mulch
that’s uncomfortable or uneasy to walk on will discourage pet traffic where you
don’t want it. One idea is a thick carpet of pine cones in front of the raised beds.
How to create the path of Least Resistance
for Dog-Friendly Yards
If a fence surrounds you yard, don’t try to grow plants in the area next to the fence.
Dogs are territorial; their favorite path in a fenced-in yard will be right along the
edge. Unsightly “dog paths” are the result of this very predictable behavior. Rather
than fighting it, go with it and plan your yard around your dog’s predictability. An
easy way is to install stone walkways over already existing dog paths. Now everyone is happy. The dog still has its path, and you have a better looking yard. Lining
the pathways with soft materials pine needles, leaves, wood chips, bark chips etc. is
a good idea. Uncomfortable paving will send dogs on different paths.
Digging
Some dogs are just going to dig. One solution is to add a sandbox in another
section of your yard. When you see your dog starting to dig in an unapproved area
of the yard, clap your hands loudly to interrupt the dog in action. Then immediately take him to his approved digging area, and praise him for digging there.
What about container gardens?
Container gardens are a wonderful solution for pet people, and they are easy to
maintain. Vegetables can also be planted in containers. One of my favorite container’s to create is an herbal container that I keep on my steps near my kitchen
door. Be creative using hanging baskets & window boxes.
Growing plants in pots can also discourage the neighborhood cats from using
your garden as a kitty toilet. It also helps fend off slugs. If you’re growing berries in
containers, it’s easy to put netting over the plants (or move the pots) so the birds
don’t get all the berries before you have a chance to eat them.
Pine Tree, Maple Tree, Forsythia, Mimosa Tree, Aucuba, Birch Tree,
Butterfly Bush are some sustainable trees and plants that have made it through
years of dog trampling and peeing in my own yard.
Teaching good backyard behavior
Do not punish a dog for making a mess in the yard. Correct your dog only when
you catch him in the act. Teaching your dog good behaviors will help him focus
on learning what you want him to do, rather than what you don’t want him to do.
When your dog engages in an undesirable activity, redirect him to a permissible
activity. Dogs make messes because they have nothing else to do with their time.
• Play with your dog in the yard; give him long walks daily (off the property for
mental stimulation)
• Provide him with safe, outdoor as well as indoor toys. My dogs love to hang out
on an old wooden picnic table. It makes them feel like king of the mountain and

gives them an elevated platform to check out their scene
from a higher view. Engage your dog’s mind by teaching him
commands in daily sessions of 10 to 15 minutes each.
Another great idea is a portable agility training for back
yards which is great fun for owner and dog alike.
Summer time idea is to install an in-ground fish pond to use
for your dog’s swimming pool. They are cheap, easy to install
and it also looks much better than the blue plastic kiddie
pools most people use.
Saftey
Do not banish your dog outside. The safest place for dogs
to stay is indoors. Dogs can easily overheat and go into
heat-stroke very quickly. Pay close attention to what your
dog is getting into in your yard; many dogs eat rocks which
can be dangerous. Chewing on garden hoses can do more
than damage your hose, it can lead to internal obstructions
requiring immediate medical help from your vet.
If the plants in your yard have any diversity, then you probably have poisonous plants in your yard. Many if not most
of the common landscape plants contain parts (leaves,
berries, etc.) that are toxic.

Sail away to
Block Island
Photo’s by Fetching Photography www.fetchingphoto.com
I should first start by telling you that Block Island
is one of my favorite places on earth! From the
beautiful beaches and breathtaking vistas to the
wonderful restaurants and bars, this island is a
vacationers dream. But in my opinion, taking your
best friend is what truly makes it a vacation. With
a population of just 1000 residents and untold
numbers of dogs, this 7 mile long, 3 mile wide
island is a true paradise offering you and your
pup the time of your life!
Where To Stay With Your Dog
While I think Block Island is an uber dog vacation
spot, there are only a handful of places that you can
bring your dog overnight. But, I found a few notable
inns which are steps from the ocean and welcome
dogs of any size. The first on our list is
The Gothic Inn, which is situated by the sea in the
heart of the historic district, combines the convenience of location with the warm hospitality of a
family run country inn. Innkeepers Toube, Ken,
and Bennet Wohl are not only incredibly welcoming, but they are also avid dog lovers. Guests with
dogs are welcome to stay in the inn’s annex building that has 4 apartments. Apt. 11, where I stayed,
has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a fully functioning kitchen
and cozy sitting area. What I love about this place
is not just the proximity to the beach and town, but
the beautiful back yard complete with grill, outdoor
shower and sitting areas. After a day of running
around the beaches and bars with the pups, I truly
looked forward to the ease of rinsing “everyone”
off in the outdoor shower and just relaxing in the
grass. And if that were not enough, no need to
worry about breakfast because each morning guests

This is Plaid: “One of the
responsibilities of having a dog is
picking up it’s poop and one of the secret
pleasures of being a dog is watching you
do it! Stripe and I think it’s pretty darn
funny!”
“Speak for yourself Plaid”, Stripe here:

are welcome on the porch or in the sunny sitting
rooms for a wonderful continental breakfast. The
Gothic Inn recommends booking early or during
late season, as the dog friendly rooms do go quickly.
To make a reservations contact the Gothic Inn at
(401) 466-2918 or visit www.thegothicinn.com
Another best bet for dog friendly accommodations
is The Blue Dory Inn. This unique inn offers luxury
suites, charming cottages and quaint houses with the
beach at your doorstep. All the rooms have private
baths, carpeting and are filled with antique décor.
What I was surprised to find out is that not only is
there no size limit on dogs, but there is no limited
to the number of dogs you are allowed to bring! For

What To Do With Your Dog
You will find plenty to do with your pooch while
visiting the island, however I highly recommend
you do not bring animal aggressive dogs. While
there is a leash law in town, it’s not unusual
for a local dog to come walking up to say hello
at anytime.
Beaches
One of the biggest reasons I love taking my dogs
to Block Island are the beaches. They are clean,
clear and beautiful, and yes, dog friendly!
Block Island’s dog ordinance allows leashed dogs
on any beach any time. And guess what, they also
allow unleashed dogs on all beaches with only one
exception, Crescent Beach. This is the area on
the eastern side of Block Island from the breakwater at the Surf Hotel to the northern boundary of Mansion Beach . The city ordinance states
that unleashed dogs are not allowed on Crescent
Beach in the summer season (June 1 to
October 1) after 9:00 a.m. and before 6:00 p.m.
But, are allowed off leash in the off season
(Oct. 1 to May 31) anytime. Also, when the
endangered “Piping Plover” birds are nesting in
the sand dunes (Spring & Summer), you will be
reminded to stay out of the dunes.
Kelly Walsh, creator of the website “Block Island
Family Vacation,” has a specific page dedicated to
visitors bringing dogs (www.block-island-familyvacation.com/dog-friendly.html). She tells us
The Southeast Lighthouse.
Simon naps as the sun
sets on Crecent Beach.
that while Block Island beaches are open for dogs,
it’s not recommended to go where there are lots
of people.” “I do run into problems here, even
though the ordinance allows dogs to be off leash
on most beaches, you still get some flack from
people on the beaches.” What I try to do as a year
round resident and dog owner is be responsible
for my dog and respectful of others who are trying
to preserve the island. Some dogs need to be on
a leash for their own safety as well as others, while
other dogs clearly listen to commands and can be
off leash and close to their owners.”
Hiking
There are miles of great trails to take your dog
hiking on Block Island. The dog friendly Greenway Trails is great exercise for both of you. Caution: You may not want to hike the trails in the off
season especially if your dog likes to chase deer.
Bow Hunting begins in October and hunting season lasts all winter. Check the newspaper for dates.
Afternoon Cocktails
If you’re more of a people watcher, there are some
great locations to just plant yourself with your dog
and people watch all day. One of my new favorites
is Paynes Dock in New Harbor. There is a great bar
with outdoor seating located directly on the dock.
It’s a great little nook surrounded by amazing
sailboats, yachts and seaman galore.
There are a few other bars in town that will let
you lounge with your pup while sipping a cool
summer cocktail; The Albion Pub, Captain Nick’s
(daytime only), and Aldo’s, just to name a few.
Farmers Market
If you happen to be on Block Island on a Saturday
or Wedenesday, you may want to stop by the dog

Manisses Corner. It’s a great place to see, smell,
and buy some local food and art.
Shopping
There are lots of great little shops in town next
to Old Harbor; unfortunately your dog is not
normally allowed inside, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
Sometimes the shop keepers will watch your dog
just outside for you while you peruse their store.
Don’t forget to stop by Block Island’s only pet
boutique - Island Dog, to pick up an Island Dog
T-shirt or gift.
Kayak The Bay
If you are lucky enough to have a dog who is
comfortable on a kayak, I encourage you to take
a sunset tour around the bay and throughout the
network of waterways. This is such a nice way to
see boats, wildlife and even some backyards. But
do not take a dog that is not a seasoned kayaker, as
there is a great deal of wildlife that would be quite
enticing to a dog who is not used to staying in the
boat on command. There are a number of kayak
rental locations that are easily found on the island,
or do what I do and bring your car full of kayaks
and dogs onto the ferry! It does make things a
bit easier and cheaper, but you have to book way
in advance and have parking lined up with your
hotel.

Block Island
Continued from page 21
while you can’t bring your dog inside, there are a
number of casual restaurants and sandwich shops
that welcome your well behaved pooch at the table.
Some of my favorites are: Juice ‘n Java, Aldo’s, The
Ice Cream Place, The Albion Pub, The Post Office
Bagel Shop, Harry’s, Rebecca’s Take Out, or Old
Harbor Take Out. I also recommend that you plan
at least one night out sans doggie and try my very
favorite island restaurant - Eli’s. Don’t worry, even
though you’ll miss your dog, you will still be greeted
by a large black lab statue and lots of cool dog
art inside :-)
Getting There
There are basically 2 ways to get to the island and
that’s by boat or plane...and they all welcome dogs.
The Block Island High Speed Ferry and Traditional
Ferry (401) 783.7996 (cars allowed with reservations) which runs from Pt. Judith all year long and
from Newport RI in the summer . You may bring
your leashed dog on the ferry, free of charge. Note:

only allows dogs on their outdoor decks. If the
weather is bad you may opt for the “slow boat” so
you can be inside.
New England Airlines offers daily flights to and
from Block Island (year round) from Westerly,
RI. A limit of 2 dogs per flight is free of charge
for dogs that fit on your lap. Otherwise you would
pay a child fair of $38 for your large dog (unless
the flight is not fully booked). For more info call:
1-800-243-2460.
When I go for longer than a day trip with the
dogs, I find it much easier to bring all the dogs
and gear in the car. It’s not recommended to
bring cars to the island, but if you’re staying at
the Gothic Inn they have a parking lot that you
may use.
What if your pet gets sick?
A very important element to think about when
traveling anywhere is to be prepared for an
emergency. In researching this story, I found that
getting your dog off-island after the ferry’s and
flights have closed for the evening is no easy task,
if not impossible. The island does have mediContinued on page 27

nothing official for dogs. There are part-time vets
on the island, but most only see resident dogs by
appointment, and are not equipped to handle a
serious emergency. Dr. Maryann Simonelli (401)
466-8500 is sometimes available on weekends for
house calls and if the timing were right could help
in an emergency. Again there are no full time vets
on the island, so if your pet gets sick, DO NOT
WAIT! Make arrangements ASAP, to get your pet
on a flight or ferry and head to your vet or a vet off
island, such as Seaside Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Judy
Glowitz of Seaside, can pick your pet up at the ferry
during normal business hours. However, if this is a
serious emergency, I suggest getting to the nearest
24 emergency hospital.

displayed remarkable obedience skills and walked
away with their diplomas!
Susan Parker, owner of Dynamic Dog Training
Services LLC began “Out of the Pits and into
the Ritz” Pit Bull Training Academy because she
recognized a huge need and big demand for
education and training to properly handling pit
bulls within the community. Out of the Pits and
Into the Ritz is a nationally recognized award
winning program and is currently implemented
in various shelters in RI and Massachusetts. The

shelter dogs along with their volunteer handlers have
achieved their goals. Although many of the dogs are still
homeless; this graduation gives them the grand
opportunity to showcase their intelligence, genuine love
& loyalty! Out of the Pits and Into the Ritz, shines a
spotlight on the plight of homeless pit bull dogs. “It is
with a sense of accomplishment that we celebrate this
grand honor. We treasure the privilege of being able to
share our joy of achievement with you on.”

Congratulations
to the SKDPA!
The South Kingston Dog Park Association’s
(SKDPA) dinner and silent auction fundraiser
on June 18, 2009 was a huge success! Between
143 ticket sales plus funds raised through Silent
Auction they raised an astonishing $11,317, with
a net figure of $8,303 after expenses, which will
go directly to the Dog Park. Combined with other
activities, including their presence at Belmont
Market, T-shirt sales and brick sales, the SKDPA
has raised $13,247 since May 20, 2009.
Susan Sancomb, Chair of the fundraising event,
would like to thank everyone who participated
in the planning and execution of this successful
fundraiser.
While these funds have brought the SKDP association much closer to their goal they are not
finished yet and still need your help. If you would
like to help get the South Kingston Dog Park off
the ground please visit them only at www.skdpa.

shelters and work with bully breeds available for adoption by doing some basic

needed - foster homes for the urgent dogs. Not interested in working with the dogs
directly? Maybe you would like to help with our fundraising and education efforts?

{In Memory} saying goodbye to some old friends.

Dear Friends,
It is with a stunned and heavy heart that I write to tell
you that Akeba, my almost 14-year-old Keeshond, died
suddenly in her sleep last night. Having gotten a clean
bill of health from the vet a month ago, and showing no
signs of her age except for her deafness, it has come as a
huge shock to all of us.
In my heart, she is now running in a field somewhere,
with her sister Sky, brother Morgan, mother Aria, her
pups Diva and Baci, and all her other friends and family
members who went before her. Magee, the Kees-Shepherd mix who has been her life’s companion and best
“Akeba”
friend, is sadly lost without her, and glued to my side,
which is a comfort to us both.
Your loving friend,
Alexi
