Any Day Can Be Memorial Day
- by Nancy Piper
Most of us were brought up with rituals
which follow the death of a human – visitations, funeral services or memorial services,
perhaps burial in a cemetery. When our
beloved pets die, we do not have rituals to
fall back on. So often we do nothing. However, rituals help us heal, by helping us accept the reality of death, but acknowledging
the loved one’s existence and meaning in
our lives.
You do not have to wait until Memorial Day or a special day to memorialize
your pet. It doesn’t matter when you have a
ceremony, a celebration, an event to honor
your loved one who has passed. It can be
months or even years later. The significant
part is to do something to recognize the
importance of your pet in your life, to help
you in your journey through grief.
The ceremony could be something
formal in a chapel; it could be in your living
room, on your patio, around a fire pit, or
anywhere that is meaningful to you. Gather
friends who knew your beloved companion.

Homeless People’s Pet Food Project
Can You Help? Donations are lowest in the summer
In September 2001, Rolling Acres Memorial
Gardens for Pets started soliciting contributions
for homeless people’s pets, either pet food or
money for pet food. This was after it came to
Nancy Piper’s attention that many homeless
people also have pets. Some of their concerns
are food for their pets, veterinary care, and the
after life care of their pets – the same as ours!
We have been able to provide pet food to Uplift
Organization, among others, since September
2001. We will also take blankets, towels, or
clothing to them along with the pet food. If you
have anything to donate, just bring it to us, and
we’ll deliver it for you.
In 2014, with the generous and overwhelming
assistance of the community, Rolling Acres
Memorial Gardens for Pets provided 2,224
pounds of dry pet food, 576 cans of canned pet
food, 242 bags of cat and dog treats, as well as
pet beds, pet carriers, toys, collars, leashes, pet
brushes, and combs to Homeless Peoples’ Pets.
The need for this support has been increasing in
recent months. Rolling Acres thanks the public
for their help in this year-round project. We
need more food and more funds for our yearround project. A basket for food donations and
a money donation jar will be set up at our Pet
Memorial Day Open House. Rolling Acres
thanks everyone for their help in this year-round
project. You are just awesome!
At pet-happy Stephens College, some dogs and
cats come with a scholarship
By Mará Rose Williams, The Kansas City Star, 03/31/2015
COLUMBIA , MO
Molly Wallace darted across the campus
green at Stephens College one day recently
last week 3/18 to fetch one of her roommates.
Minutes later, she returned, a little out of
breath, wearing a smile and trotting behind
an 8-month-old, tail-wagging beagle mix.
“Daisy is the best roommate ever,” Wallace
said — doesn’t snore, play
loud music or hog the bathroom.
A group of potential students
touring campus bent down to
pet Daisy, who couldn’t resist
getting in a few face licks. “It
blows my mind how well mannered she is,” said Wallace,
21, a Jefferson City sophomore majoring in marketing
and communications.
Stephens, a private school for
women, has opened its dorms
to pets — dogs, cats, birds,
lizards, potbelly pigs, even
hedgehogs — since 2004.
(Sorry, no snakes or spiders.) The pets-indorms program started as a way to help students ease into college life by letting them
bring a bit of home to campus.
But in just the past two years, some students
have started receiving scholarships from
Stephens for fostering a homeless dog or
cat. About 30 of the 500 students living in
the school’s residence halls are in the pro-
gram.
Basically, students get $3,000 a year to feed,
care for and help their four-legged roomies
find a permanent home, said Wallace, who
in two years has fostered seven or eight
dogs.
“I went through five dogs the first semester,” she said. She’d had each about a week
before they were adopted or returned to the
shelter during the winter or summer break.
About half of Stephens students living in
dorms have pets, either their own or foster
animals, said Alissa Pei, student life director.
“Our pet policy has earned Stephens the
reputation as the most pet-friendly campus
in the country,” she said.
A 2011 Kaplan survey of 359 college admis-
sion officers found about 38 percent of
schools permit some pets in dorms. A quarter of them allow reptiles. Only 10 percent
allow dogs, and 8 percent cats.
All the foster animals at Stephens come
from Columbia Second Chance, a no-kill
shelter that pays for all the animals’ food,
toys, leashes and litter.
The students scoop poop, get their animals
to a veterinarian if they’re sick
and take them to Second Chance
pet adoption events. Some students even create Facebook pages
for their pets to help them get
adopted.
Jennifer Niewald, a junior, is fostering cats for the first time this
year. Her charge right now is a 9month-old calico named Nutmeg.
A few days ago, Nutmeg found a
spool of burlap yarn Niewald had
been using for a craft project.
“When I came home the yarn was
all over the place,” said Niewald,
a fashion marketing and management major. “Oh, well, she’s a
cat. That’s to be expected.”
Niewald has fostered two other cats, Firecracker and 911. “We called her Nine,”
Niewald said.
Nine got her name when she sneaked into
someone’s house, hid in a closet and had a
litter of kittens. When the homeowners
found her, they called 911 and police took

Culling Cats May Do More Harm Than Good
by Anna Salleh, ABC Science Online
Shooting or trapping feral cats may increase their numbers, a new study has
found.
The accidental finding, made during research into the ecological impact of feral
cats, emphasizes the need to monitor the
effects of culling programs, say wildlife
biologist Billie Lazenby of the Tasmanian
department of primary industries.
"You may be inadvertently doing more
damage than good," she says.
Feral cats are often culled because they
threaten biodiversity. But, says Lazenby,
the effectiveness of culling has only really
been studied on islands rather than in
mainland areas, where new cats can come
in and replace those that have been removed
Lazenby and colleagues were carrying out
research in the tall forests of southern Tasmania.
Their study was designed to compare small
mammal numbers in sites where feral cats
were allowed to roam free with those
where the cats were reduced through culling.
The results are still being analyzed, but in
the meantime, the researchers discovered
something surprising.
As part of their study, they used remotelycontrolled baited infrared cameras to verify
a fall in cat numbers with culling.
Although the number of cats being cagetrapped and euthanized fell -- implying the
culling was successful -- the camera monitoring suggested cat numbers were rising.
"In the areas that I had tried to reduce cat
numbers I recorded an increase in cat numbers," says Lazenby. "I actually had more
cats running around on those sites than
beforehand."
"We recorded a 75 to 211 per cent increase
in the minimum number of feral cats
known to be alive in the culled areas."
The results are published in a recent issue
of the journal Wildlife Research.
Lazenby thinks the
unexpected observation may be explained by the fact
that dominant cats
are often bolder and
more confident and
so more likely to
explore traps than
subordinate cats.
"If you remove a
dominant individual
from an open population you're likely to get a few subordinates coming in to check out the territory
that's been freed up," she says.
So once the "trappable" dominant cats had
been removed, this allowed an influx of
many more subordinate animals, she says.
"That's why we observe this spike in cat
numbers following our culling operation,"
says Lazenby.
She says within a year the cat numbers in
the culled areas stabilized to the original
numbers.
While culling is only ever a short term
solution unless it is ongoing, this is the
first time it has been shown to cause an
increase in cat numbers.
"What we really should be focusing on
when we talk about managing introduced
species like feral cats is reducing their impact," says Lazenby.
"But it's really important that we keep in
mind that you
don't always reduce impact by
reducing numbers, as one individual might
cause 90 per cent
of the damage."
Lazenby says
that using fences
to exclude cats,
or increasing the
number of hiding
places (such as
log piles) for small prey may be more effective strategies to protect biodiversity in
some cases.
She says the study highlights the importance of monitoring to check the outcomes of management strategies.
"It's not unusual to have these unexpected
outcomes," she says.
"This soldier, I realized, must have
had friends at home and in his regiment, yet he lay there deserted by all
except his dog. I looked on, unmoved,
at battles which decided the future of
nations. Tearless, I had given orders
which brought death to thousands. Yet
here I was stirred, profoundly stirred,
stirred to tears. And by what? By the
grief of one dog." - (Napoleon Bona-
parte, on finding a dog beside the body
of his dead master, licking his face and
howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.)

REMINDER: Please limit the number of flowers you place on your graves, as our grounds crew does move the flowers and other
grave decorations every week, when they mow. Also, please do not place breakable items on the graves, especially during mowing season, since it creates a hazard for our grounds people. Do not use wires or rebar or nails to fasten down your arrangements. These items
create a hazard for our mowing equipment as well as our personnel. The mowers or weed eaters can pick up the wire and throw it right
into a person’s leg. Thank you for your consideration.

Outbreak of Dog Flu Spreading Across Midwest
Written By Chris Proffitt, Sarah Swiss, theindychannel.com
INDIANAPOLIS -- A strain of canine influenza has hit the Midwest, infecting more than
1,000 dogs so far and resulting in five fatalities.
The virus is spreading throughout Chicago
and into Wisconsin. While there are no confirmed cases in Indiana, the Indiana State
Board of Animal Health said Tuesday that
northwest Indiana veterinarians have treated
infected dogs from Chicago.
za, it's very contagious," said Dr. Sandy Norman with the Indiana State Board of Animal
Health. "If your dog isn't sick but you're
planning on boarding your dog or using doggy day care, it would be a good idea to get
the canine influenza vaccine. So you should
call your vet to see if that's available to
them."
Three Chicago-area PetSmart stores have
temporarily closed their pet hotels to stop the
spread of the virus, which is often transmitted through contact at dog parks, day cares
and kennels.
Chicago ABC affiliate WLS said although
humans cannot spread the flu to dogs or vice
versa, it is still possible for people to spread
the germs -- so it is a good idea to wash your
hands and keep areas clean.
The dog flu cannot be spread to humans, but
among dogs, it is highly contagious and local
vets are concerned.
While vets say that most infected dogs show
mild symptoms, those that become seriously
ill often get pneumonia.
"It's transmitted just like we'd transmit influenza from dog to dog by secretions, by
sneezing and coughing. And like our influen-

whatever that is right for you to express
your grief. It doesn’t matter how long your
pet has been gone from you, this is something that will help you with your grief.
Other ideas for memorializing
your pet:
♥Plant a tree, bush or flower in one of your
pet’s favorite places or where you can see it
from a window in your house. Invite friends
to attend the planting event. This can be a
time to share stories.
♥Have a candle-lighting ceremony. Place a
lit candle in the middle of a table. Each person attending would take turns, lighting his/
her candle from the center candle and sharing a memory of the departed pet. End with
a song, a prayer or a poem.
♥Set up a memorial area in your home, with
pictures, the pet’s urn (if applicable), hair
clippings, paw prints, toys, collar and leash,
awards won, favorite treats, anything meaningful to you to memorialize your pet.
♥Create a memory book, shadow box, or
wall hanging from special mementos of
your pet.
♥Make a photo album, scrapbook, or a collage of your pet’s pictures.
♥Write a story, poem or song about your
pet.
♥Write your pet’s name and an endearment
or remembrance on a balloon, then release
the balloon, perhaps with a favorite song
playing.
♥Use your artistic abilities to create something in memory of your pet; a sculpture, a
painting or drawing; a piece of handwork
like needlepoint or embroidery.
♥If you kept your pet’s tags, use them on
your key ring, hang them from your car’s
review mirror or your bathroom mirror so
your memory of your loved one will be
near.
♥Place a bench in your yard, patio, or special place with an inscription dedicated to
your pet.
♥Create an announcement of your pet’s
death to hand to people who inquire about
your pet. You can let them read the announcement if you are not up to actually
telling them.
♥Donate a book to the local library in honor
of your pet. Write your pet’s name on the
bookplate inside the front cover of the
book.
♥Have a professional artist create a painting
of your pet from a favorite photo.
♥If you have a fur clipping or a whisker,
place them in a locket to wear.
♥Buy a memorial stone to put in your yard
or flower bed or under a tree close to where
he played. You can personalize it as you
wish, with name and dates of birth and
death and/or an endearment as well as perhaps an emblem such as a paw print or doggie bone.
♥Have items imprinted with your pet’s photo: a t-shirt, sweatshirt, mug, note cards,
pillowcase, or sweater to mention a few.
♥Use your imagination to come up with
other special ways to memorialize your
special pet.
Any number of these suggestions can be
done as you travel through your grief. The
memories of your beloved pet and the love
you shared will always be a part of you.
Your pet will always be memorialized in
your heart.
Pet-happy Stephens College- continued
the animals to the Second Chance shelter.
That’s where Niewald came in. “I love taking care of animals,” she said. And cats usually stay in the dorm room and are “pretty
low maintenance.”
Dogs are out and about more, and are conversation starters, Niewald said. “If you
don’t know someone and you stop to pet
their dog, you might start talking to them,
too.”
The shelter’s staff screens students and animals for placement and figures out pretty
quickly whether a student is more a cat lover
than a dog lover.
“But we don’t know these kids all that well,”
said Valerie Chaffin, the shelter’s executive
director. “We place dogs and cats with students based on the animals’ personality. We
know if a dog is a barker, a leaper or a couch
potato, and whether a cat is a whiner or
shy.”
Sometimes “we make a mistake,” Chaffin
said. If a student isn’t taking care of a pet,
“we will take the animal back and they lose
that scholarship.”
Fostering an animal “is not for everyone,”
Pei said. A few times, students have fallen in
love with their foster pet and ended up
adopting them while still in school. More
often, it’s students who are graduating who
adopt their foster pet.
Wallace said she’s gotten pretty tight with
Daisy. But it was a little, partially blind pug
named Boss that nearly tripped her up.
“That was my first almost foster fail. That’s
what you call it when you adopt your foster.”
She has managed to maintain a perfect foster
parent rep mainly because she loves taking
care of the animals.
“It’s not about the scholarship. I would do it
regardless,” she said. “It just makes you feel
so good when you see them adopted, knowing you helped them find their forever
home.”
