Just one look at Bud Nelson is enough to tell you that he was the greatest dog who ever lived. He’s an old-timey dog wearing goggles in a scratchy black-and-

white photo—if he hadn’t existed, he would have been dreamed up for a steampunk novel or Bioshock game. The human in the photo is Bud Nelson’s owner, a doc-tor called Horatio Nelson. Horatio was the first man to cross America by car in the year 1903, with his hilariously named co-driver Sewall K. Crocker and, of course, Bud. That made Bud the first dog to cross the United States by car. At the time, the automobile was still in its infancy, mean-ing that driving was neither safe nor fun. The car was a roofless monstrosity with little to no suspension to protect them from the mostly unpaved roads, and it would have made a lot of noise while belching out noxious smoke. But Bud Nelson was braver around the thing than some peo-ple would have been back then. He was given the goggles to protect his eyes and sat there looking just as happy as he does in the photo, all the way across the continent of North America. - Aaron Short

IS THIS PETPALOOZA’S...FINAL ISSUE?The headline is not a joke, and

it’s not a cheap gimmick just to get you to read my column.

No, it’s the daunting question I’m facing after a business partnership entered into last summer disinte-grated without warning.

Petpalooza formed Smart Dog Media Group aiming to create a pet com-munity where everyone would work together making positive difference in the lives of pets and count-less animals in need. The premise, though admirable, never gelled.

Why? It’s simple.

How could we expect our entire local pet community to work to-gether when our alliance consisting of only three individuals couldn’t agree on how matters should be handled? It was simply a matter of too many cooks in the kitchen, or more appropriately—too many Alpha dogs in the house.

Anyone who really knows me, knows that I fully em-brace wearing my heart on my sleeve. I am not afraid to tell the truth as I see it, even if that truth is unpleasant.

I can’t stand this age of “P.C.” Being politically correct has nothing to do with actually being ‘correct.’ Simply saying what others think you ought to say, as not to offend anyone isn’t correct; it’s pathetic.

I don’t want you to say, what you think you should say—I want you to say what you mean... what you believe... what you stand for.

That is how I will know you.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons we love our pets so passionately.

Our pets aren’t worried about being P.C. If a dog doesn’t like you, he’ll let you know; a little growl, a loud bark, maybe even a little snip.

Same thing with cats, maybe even more so. If your cat doesn’t agree with you changing his dinner time; he’ll remind you... over and over again. Cats P.C.?—Forget about it.

Even more evident, pets aren’t P.C. when it comes to love and affec-tion either. Whether it’s a slobbery kiss planted on our child’s cheek or an over zealous, albeit neutered, dry humping of Aunt Margaret’s varicose veined leg—our four legged friends let it all hang out.

So how will this all play out?

I honestly don’t know. But one thing is certain. There will be a pet mag-azine in Rochester and

“Max” Petpalooza’s Chief Executive Dog will be a part of it.

Editor’s Note: Email us at: [email protected] to find when and where the next issue of Petpalooza will be available. Thank you so much for your continued support. — Clyde LeFevre

Spring is in the air!


Each year millions of pets are surrendered to animal shelters across the country. The harsh reality is there are not enough homes fora all of them. However, the issue of too many pets and not enough homes can be addressed by spaying and neutering our pets.

Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, has been helping with this problem for over a decade by spaying and neutering all adoptable dogs, cats, rabbits, and potbellied pigs. They’ve also been helping to make spay and neuter costs more affordable for low-income pet owners for many years through a partnership with local veterinar-ians. With the 2013 opening of the new Klingenstein Veteri-nary Clinic on the Lollypop Farm campus, they’re now able to do even more for pets in the community.

Increasing Access to Spay and Neuter ServicesIn 2013, the organization received two grants totaling $151,116 from the New York State Animal PopulationControl Program via the ASPCA®. These funds enabled Lol-lypop Farm to provide affordable spay and neuter surger-ies for income-qualified dog and cat owners through SNIP (Spay/ Neuter Incentive Program.)

“For the first time, Lollypop Farm will be spaying and neutering owned dogs and cats at our shelter,” says Dr. Andrew Newmark, chief veterinarian at Lollypop Farm. They provide spay or neuter surgeries and basic vaccina-tions in the Veterinary Clinic . Applicants must be on pub-lic assistance or enrolled as a college student to qualify. Surgery costs range from $40 to $90 depending on spe-cies and sex of the animal. The greatly reduced fees are made possible by the grant funding.

“Our goal is to make spay/neuter services more acces-sible to those who might not otherwise be able or in-clined to sterilize their pets,” says Dr. Newmark. “Too many dogs and cats are being euthanized in our com-munity, and these services are essential to reducing the numbers of unwanted pets in the shelter.”

Esca Encina, community programs manager at Lollypop Farm, describes the popularity of the SNIP program. “We’re seeing clients every weekday, spaying and neuter-ing about 20 animals weekly now and hoping to see that number increase,” Encina says. “It’s clear from the large number of requests there is a huge need.”

One of those satisfied applicants was Rochester resident Melissa Morgan who applied for her two dogs, Snickers and Rufus, to be neutered. “I’m so thankful to have found this program and was able to bring my dogs in. I don’t think I could have afforded it otherwise,” says Morgan.

To learn more about this and other spay and neuter programs at Lollypop Farm and other area resources visit www.lollypop.org/spayneuter.

Rochester’s Premier Fitness & Training Facility for Dogs

Roc City K9, LLC

10 PETPALOOZA • Mar/Apr ‘14

Close to 10 dogs have come to call me their owner over the years and hundreds have called me their teacher for more than a decade. I

have worked all over Rochester teaching group classes and conducting private lessons for owners who want their furry companions to be well behaved, socialized and friendly with out behavior problems. Currently a clumsy, shy Great Dane puppy and a sassy, bossy Mini Dachshund call me “mom”. Harper and Josie regularly remind me how challenging but rewarding dog owner-ship can be. Whether I am teaching my own dogs or my clients I know in my heart I have found my passion. I’m

blessed to be able to say I love going to work every day.

I most definitely have the best career ever! I get to work with people and their dogs. Helping owners train their canine companions is truly rewarding. The ultimate favorite moment happens regularly when the owner and dog have a “light bulb moment,” when they are astonished that they could learn or teach their dog something new and when a tough task was finally ac-complished. Throughout the years a steady and strong teaching of Guidance, Consistency and Exercise have been the forefront of my training philosophies. The

Petpalooza would like to congratulate Michele Lennon, owner of Roc City K9. Her business, touted as Rochester’s Premier Fitness & Training Facility for Dogs is newly renovated and located at 1255 University Ave, Suite 152.

We reached out to Michele and asked her to tell us a little about herself and what benefits local pet owners, and of course, their dogs could expect from joining Roc City K9.

toughest part of my mantra seems to be the exercise. Owners don’t realize just how much exercise their dog re-ally needs. Repeated pleas for help from owners who have high energy dogs and those with severe behavior problems led me to the creation of Roc City K9. Roc City K9, LLC is Rochester’s first gym for dogs.

Many behavior problems stem from lack of exercise. Without a way to get rid of pent up energy, dogs will excessively bark, chew, dig, jump and more. Over half of all dogs are over weight. Here at Roc City K9 we offer an outlet for high energy dogs, overweight dogs and dogs with behavior problems. Even if your dog doesn’t have a weight issue or behavior problem they still want to get out and have some fun, Roc City K9 can help with that too.

In addition to group training classes Roc City K9 offers a full fitness gym for dogs complete with doggy tread-mills, tread wheels and a full circuit of agility equip-ment as well as fitness classes you can bring your dog to. Whether your dog has an abundance of energy, needs to lose a few extra pounds or could use obedience training,

Roc City K9 has what your furry friend needs to be happy and healthy.

A German breed descending from mastiffs, the Boxer was originally bred for the purpose of

hunting. The first Boxers were bred to be fierce but these traits are not seen today. Boxers today tend to be gentle, loving and energetic dogs.

Boxers are stocky dogs of a medium size. Male Boxers will grow to an average height of 22 to 25 inches and weight of 60 to 70 pounds. Females Boxers will reach an average height of 21 to 24 inches and weight of 53 to 65 pounds. Boxers have an average life span of 11 to 14 years. Their coats are smooth and shorthaired, making Boxers easy to groom. In fact, Boxers tend to be ‘clean freaks’ and will clean themselves regularly. Generally, Boxer coats come in only two colors: brindle and fawn.

Some Boxers have white markings on them, known as flash, which can extend all over making them appear white. Boxers have short muzzles and their lower jaws extend past their upper ones. This gives them a very secure bite, something useful when they were hunting.

Boxers are considered highly intel-ligent and easy to train. However, they can be independent thinkers and this can make them stubborn and sneaky. Though energetic they are gentle with children and other animals (if properly

socialized) and make an excellent family pet.

They enjoy playing with children and will protect its family when a stranger approaches. Once introduced to the stranger, though, he will become a friend and the Boxer will greet him with enthusiasm in the future. Boxers are energetic dogs that love to run, jump, fetch and play so once daily exercise at a minimum is required. Boxers tend to be fairly active indoors and may become destructive if not given time to ‘burn off some steam.’ A well fenced in yard (if off leash) is also a must.

Boxers are prone to many medical problems. Due to their short snouts, they tend to snore and drool, and have difficulty regulating their body temperature, making it difficult for them to live in locations where temperature extremes are common.

Boxers are also more likely to develop cardiomyopathy, sub-aortic stenosis, and hip dysplasia. Some Boxers are prone to epilepsy, and from age eight on they are more likely to get tumors than other breeds. They tend to have allergies and some Boxers may have excessive flatulence. Some white Boxers are prone to deafness. Boxers

may also develop corneal dystrophy or Demodectic mange and some are prone to bloat. torsion (bloat) and if they do not get enough exercise will quickly become obese, leading to other health problems.

Dog And Cat Facts is a website that has great information on Boxers and most other breeds of dogs. It has details that pertain to a dog breeds health, groom-ing, living conditions, best food choices and more. www.dogandcatfacts.com

tween 600 and 800 lbs of food a week here, so I’m also going to say that it’s fresher as well. Every week we hear that peoples birds will only eat our millet, or seed blends. We don’t do anything special to the food other than to keep it fresh, clean and get the best quality we can. We also offer more variety than just about anywhere else you’ll go.

Q. What should I put on the bottom of my birds cage?

A. Regular old newspaper is the best. If the bird can get down to it and chew it don’t use the colored newsprint,

stick with the black and white. Many of the “bird cage litters” tend to grow a mold quite rapidly in the hot humid summers we have. Most people don’t change the litters frequently enough as well. You can also tell a bit about a birds health by the appearance, condi-tion, and taste (just kidding again, don’t eat the poop) of the birds droppings. If you cut a weeks worth or more of paper and place it in the cage tray, simply pull off the top piece daily and make it easy to keep the cage clean.

Perhaps you’ve just adopted your first rabbit, or maybe you already have a rabbit and would like more information to help you under-stand her better. The House Rab-bit Society, a national nonprofit organization, recommends that you keep your rabbit in the house rather than outdoors. Rabbits are intelligent, social animals who need affection, and they can become wonderful companion animals if given a chance to interact with their human families.

The benefits of spay and neuterAlthough most rabbits will use a litter-box, hormones may cause unneutered males and unspayed females to “mark territory.” Spaying or neutering your rabbit improves litterbox habits, less-ens chewing behavior, decreases terri-torial aggression, and gives your rabbit a happier, longer life. Have your rab-bit neutered between ages 3 1/2 to 6 months, depending on sexual maturity, by an experienced rabbit veterinarian. For rabbits more than 2 years old, get a veterinary checkup first.

HousetrainingRabbits may have free run of the home. However, it’s best for most--and neces-sary for some--to start with a cage. To make cage time learning time, fasten a litterbox in the corner of the cage that your rabbit chooses for a “bathroom.” As soon as he uses the box consistently, you can give him some freedom. Place one or more large litterboxes in cor-ners of the running area outside the cage. Use only positive reinforcement (treats and praise)--never punishment.

Neutering a cat extends its life span by two or three years.

BUNNY TALK

.. continued on pg. 22


Neutering a cat extends its life span by two or three years.

54% of dogs are overweight and many suffer from behavior problems such as excessive barking, jumping, chewing and digging.

Many owners aren’t aware that their dog needs daily physical and mental exercise.

There are a few misconcep-tions about exercising a dog. It takes more than a long walk, fenced in back yard and a multi dog household to get your dog the right kind and amount of exercise.

When your canine companion receives the right amount of exercise behavior problems diminish and healthy weights are achieved.

Stay tuned in our the next issue to see what kind of activities can help you and your dog stay fit both mentally and physically.

Always do your research and patronize only reputable pet businesses.

Bunny-proofingBunny-proofing your home is part of living with a house rabbit. It is natural for rabbits to chew on furniture, rugs, drapes, and, most deadly of all, electri-cal cords. Cords must be concealed so that the rabbit cannot reach them. Exposed cords can be encased in vinyl tubing (found at hardware stores). By splitting the tubing lengthwise with a utility knife the cord can be pushed inside it.Give your rabbit enough attention, safe chewables, and toys, so that she is distracted from chewing furniture and

rugs. A cardboard box stuffed with hay makes an inexpensive playbox. Young rabbits (under a year) are more inclined to mischief and require more confine-ment and/or bunny-proofing than ma-ture rabbits.

House rabbits and other animalsHouse rabbits and indoor cats can get along fine, as do rabbits and well-man-nered dogs. Dogs should be trained to respond to commands before being trusted with a free-running rabbit, and supervision is needed to control a dog’s playful impulses (this is especially true for puppies). Adding a second rabbit is easiest if the rabbits are neutered adults

of opposite sexes, and they are intro-duced for short periods in an area unfamiliar to both rabbits.
