Would you like to write an article for the Newsletter?
The BarkPark newsletter would like to add a guest column each month
written by one of our readers.
Everyone has at least one great story about their pet, experiences
working/volunteering with animals, your organization or anything
related to animals that you would like to share with the readers.
Funny, sad, informational, we want them all.
We also would like to hear from readers on what they would like to see
included in the newsletter. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Columbus Firefighter David Santuomo
We were all appalled at the violent act of fireman Santuomo shooting
his two dogs so he did not have to pay to board them while on vacation.
Then only receiving 90 days in jail that could be served in 10 day
stints so not to interrupt his life too much. And now he will keep his
job as a firefighter. Is this the man we want to be there for us when
our house is on fire?

Healthy Hounds
To your pets the 4th of July might seem like more of an alien invasion
than a celebration. Explosions and flashing lights that appear out of
nowhere can be a terrifying experience. Many animals try to escape
their home or yard trying to get away from the noise.
After firework displays shelters nationwide report an increase in lost
animals.
Please take the following precautions to ensure the comfort and safety
of your animal companion.
Do not take your pet to the fireworks display.
Keep your pet indoors in a quiet room with covered
windows.
Turn on the T.V. or music to muffle the sound. If possible
stay with them.
Never leave animals outside alone, fear can cause them to
jump or dig out of a fence. Tethered animals can hang themselves
trying to escape.
If your pet becomes anxious, try to distract them by
playing games or with a favorite toy. Don't reassure them by pampering,
this may reinforce the anxiety.
Pets that are afraid of storms or lighting will probably
be even more distressed with fireworks. Talk to your veterinarian
before the 4th about options for calming the pet.
Make sure they are wearing an appropriately fitting
collar. You should be able to slip no more than two fingers
beneath a dog collar and cats should wear a stretch or safety
collar. Always have current information on the identification
tags.
If your pet does escape make sure to check the shelters
every day. Immediately post LOST posters. Always keep an up to
date photograph of your pet in case you need to make lost posters
or identify the animal as yours.
Make independence Day a safe and happy holiday for everyone.
Special Needs
Rudy
18 month old red merle male Aussie. He is very friendly, loves people
(although can be reserved with men at first), good with other dogs and
is great with cats. Good on walks, loves to fetch his toys, knows sit,
down, stay, speak, is great in the car, housetrained and great loose in
the house Rudy is a very quick learner and right after he has
accomplished something new, he looks at you like "why didn't you
just say you wanted me to do that". If you are looking for a sweet
little guy, they just don't come any sweeter than Rudy, you just need
to give him a chance to show it.
Rudy has been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus. While not
curable, it is not fatal either. It is a condition he will have
to live with for the rest of his life. He gets two pills every
day. The fix is that simple. What is not simple is the fact
that this adorable, happy and joyous aussie boy has to take a medicine
called desmopressin. The best price we have so far is about $100
a month. Rudy, is, however, a very young, beautiful dog who
deserves a chance to be adopted and a chance to live a long life with
his very own forever home.

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer
is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters
why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is:
"Because the animals are not like us."
Animal experimentation rest on a logical contradiction. Charles R. Magel
Best Friend
Rocket is about 53#, athletic, lean build. He is a cuddler,
quietly shadowed his "mom" all the
time. Has been crated, but did fine loose in house for last 6
months. Not a chewer, not a barker, house-broken. Mellow
most of the time, but gets exuberant and is very strong. Great
with kids, but too strong for younger children. Good with other
dogs, but they seem to be jealous of him. Would love to be someone's
"one and only" spoiled dog! Ok with cats.

Columbus Area Public Dog
Parks
In the last few years Columbus and surrounding areas have provided us
with much needed fenced areas to exercise our dogs. Two new
parks,Wheeler Dog Park and Sycamore Fields opened last month. Below is
a listing of the wonderful fenced public dog parks in our area.
Alum Creek Dog Park
3992 Hollenback Road
Lewis Center, Ohio
A 4-acre free public dog park at the Alum Creek State Park. It includes
fully fenced areas for small & large dogs and a dog beach at the
lake. All areas have shade trees and benches. Drinking water is
provided seasonally.
Big Walnut Dog Park
5000 E Livingston Ave
Columbus, OH 43227
3 fenced acres in Big Walnut Park, 2 double-gated entrances, pond
access for the dogs to swim and lighting. There are separate small dog
and large dog areas. There is a porta-potty facility on site.
Nando's Dog Park
Darree Fields
Cosgray and Sheir Rings Rds.
Dublin Ohio
The dog park offers both a small and large dog area for dogs to run,
play and roam. The total space is two acres and the large breed area
has a walking area for owners. In addition, there are benches, a picnic
table and trash cans.
Pooch Playground
Pizzurro Park
Hamilton Road just south of 270
Gahanna Ohio
A 2 acre fenced area where dogs may run off-leash. It contains a
separate fenced area for small dogs 25 pounds or less and an agility
area for all dogs. The park also has an unfenced area for
off-leash play.
Three Creeks Dog Park
Bixby Road
Columbus, Ohio
4 fenced acres, separate small dog area, drinking water.
Westerville Brooksedge Bark Park
Schrock and Park Meadow Road

Wheeler Dog Park
Wheeler Memorial Park
725 Thurber Drive West
Columbus, Ohio
1.5 acres fenced, with a path, benches, and drinking water. The
terrain is hilly and open, allowing for a lot of good exercise for the
pooches. No separate small dog area.
Healthy Hounds
Vomiting
All of our dogs vomit from time to time. Eating too fast, eating grass,
yellow bile from a too empty stomach can all cause an otherwise healthy
animal to vomit, but sometimes vomiting can be the result of something
more serious. Here are some examples of when to call the vet.
If there are worms in the vomit
When non food objects such as cloth or
plastic are spotted
Vomit that is black or looks like coffee
grounds, this can be a sign of blood
if your pet is a puppy/kitten.
Dehydration and low blood sugar can happen rapidly in an infant.
When the pet has had pancreatitis in the
past or is on medications for an illness.
Heavy breathing and panting as if they
want to vomit: take the pet to a emergency vet hospital immediately,
this can be a sign of deadly bloat.
Call the
vet to see if they think the pet should be seen right away is always
safest for your pet when in doubt.
Escape Proofing Your Yard
Have an escape artist that will do anything to get out of your fence?
Here are a few suggestions to help you keep fido in the yard.
First and foremost spay/neuter your pet.
Unaltered dogs will do ANYTHING to get out of a yard.
Teach them sit/stay and use this command
every time you come in and out of a door or gate.
Make sure there is nothing in the yard or
around the outside of the fence that is stressing the dog.
Patrol your fence weekly for signs of
gaps, rotted boards or broken gate latches. Remove tables or trash
cans along the fenceline so they do not have an easy step to get
out.
Pour a concrete curb or bury concrete
block around the base of the fence.
Place two rows of one foot garden fence
one foot and two feet out from the fence line. This will keep them
from getting a good "take off" to jump the fence.
Add a piece of fence to the top of the
existing fence and angle it into the yard.
Make their yard a playground. Keep it
stocked with favorite toys, purchase an agility tunnel or
small plastic kiddie slide. Hide toys/treats for them to find.
Fill a plastic baby pool with water or with sand and bury treats
and toys in it.
And of course, exercise, exercise, exercise.
A tired dog is a good dog.
"My doctrine is this:
that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and we
do nothing , we make ourselves sharers in the guilt" Anne Sewell
Best Friend
Davidson
Davidson is a sweet 1-2 year old German Shepherd mix who loves to play.
He needs someone who can provide some basic training to help mold him
into a young gentleman. He is working on walking on a loose leash,
working on leave it and drop it too! Davidson loves toys and will keep
himself entertained forever. Davidson is a good friend of BarkPark Bert
and visit's weekly He is always a good boy when here.
Davidson is with: Franklin County Dog Shelter
Sassy
Sassy came to CAHS in December 2008 as a member of our Safe Haven
program (to help families having domestic issues). Her family was
unable to take her back and she is now looking for her new forever
home. Sassy is a bit shy. After being here for a couple of months, she
will come out for a pet from her cat friends and will sit next to them
for some love. We have no doubts that once she gets into a new home,
she will come completely out of her shell. Sassy just needs a new home
with lots of love. Even at 7 years old, she has lots of years and life
in her!! She would probably do best in a quieter home. Meet Sassy in
the Lobby. Sassy is with: Capital Area Humane Society
Bert's Buddy's
Cosmo
Cosmo is a very friendly, loving and intelligent 8 month old American
Foxhound. He is housebroken, crate training is going well and we have
graduated from the beginner obedience course at PetSmart. He plays very
well with other dogs, especially larger breeds. He loves the dog park
and he would be good with children.
Since Cosmo is a Foxhound, he needs a lot of exercise, which his
current home couldn't provide and is the reason why Cosmo is now in
rescue A fenced yard is needed and plenty of romps at the dog park.
You can read more about this great dog and see additional pictures on
his Dogster Page
