{Letter From The Editor}
W
e’ve made it to our big summer issue, and it was great fun to put together.
Our features this month have reminded me of some of the scariest times
with my pets - (Harvey’s introduction to Angell’s poison control hotline) and
some of our more hilarious times…one of which prompted our most risque
article to date - “Honey is that you?…Oh no it’s the dog.” Having a pet
occasionally forces us to face certain things that we would rather keep quiet
about, but in the end, our pets certainly do offer some great dinner time storytelling and of course huge doses of pure love.
On another note, last week was the first of many amazing events I plan to
attend and sponsor this summer. ‘The Rescue’ was a beautifully organized
event for the Providence Animal Rescue League. This year the Animal Print
joined forces with photographer Traer Scott to donate a photo shoot with one
selected photo to appear on the cover of our next issue. I was thrilled to learn
this morning that our silent auction donation raised more money than any
other auction item. We raised $1,400. Hearing that made me feel honored to
help raise $$ for this great shelter and incredibly proud to publish a
magazine that is worthy of that kind of donation.
Going through old issues, it amazes me at how far we’ve come with writing,
design and with the additions of some great new columns, which include
Animal Law, Whole Pet Health and Behavior. Another element that has really
made a huge difference is the addition of our Senior Designer, Paul O’Hearn.
He has really begun to pull all the elements together in a whole new way. I feel
that we have finally arrived at a place I had only hoped for in the early days.

Lost Parrot Gives Vet
Name And Address
TOKYO, Japan - When Yosuke the parrot
flew out of his cage and got lost, he
did exactly what he had been taught
– recite his name and address to a
stranger willing to help.
Police rescued the African grey
parrot two weeks ago from a
neighbor’s roof in the city of Nagareyama,
near Tokyo. After spending a night at the
station, he was transferred to a nearby
veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local
policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.
He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days
with the vet.
Reality TV - Comes To

Last month, Park Ave Puppy’s of Cranston, R.I. was contacted by Stick
Figure Productions of NYC, they are the producers of such hit shows
as “Kimoria Lee Simmons Fabulous Life” and the “Real House Wives”
of NYC. The Producer has seen Park Ave Puppy’s on another reality
show TLC’s “While You Were Out” and loved the chemistry of the store
and their passion for pets. So on April 5, a film crew came to
Park Ave Puppy’s to follow a day in the life of the stores
employees’s and show how crazy a day in the life of a
busy barkery, grooming, and retail boutique can be.
The filming also showcased some of the PARL’s shelter
dogs being groomed and becoming ready for adoption. Stay tuned to see what happens next…

POISON
Angell Animal Medical Center’s
by Mia Carter
Control Hotline:
helping pet owners in need
Chocolate. Antifreeze. Onions. Chewing Gum. Azalea.
Cigarettes. They can all be poisonous to pets and even
the most careful, cautious pet owner may find him or
herself in a situation where their pet has ingested a
potentially toxic substance.
Boston area native Virginia Hadley had one such
experience several months ago, and it was the Angell
Poison Control Hotline that came to the rescue. The
hotline, which can be contacted at 1-877-2ANGELL,
is available to area residents thanks to a partnership
between the MSPCA/ Angell Animal Medical Centers and
the ASPCA’s board-certified veterinary toxicologists at the
Animal Poison Control Center who are available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week, to offer advice and provide
information to pet owners and veterinarians alike.
The outcome could have easily been a bad one – it was a
snowy weekend night, and the nearest 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic was more than thirty minutes
away. Fortunately for Hadley, she had the number for the
poison control hotline posted on her refrigerator, as she
had learned of the service when she adopted Daisey from
the MSPCA several months earlier.
“I called and they instructed me on how to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide and we were able to get her
to an emergency clinic shortly thereafter. It’s a good thing
that we called because she was in pretty bad shape for a
while there and the vets said that the outcome may have
been different if her body had had a chance to absorb
more of the toxins.”
Virginia Hadley’s miniature pinscher Daisey is alive and
well today thanks to the experts at the Poison Control
Center, who came to the rescue in January 2008.
Hadley’s case is just one of hundreds that the poison control center handles each day, as nearly 400 pet owners
and veterinarians call the hotline daily, from the Boston
area and beyond.
“My daughter was staying at my home for a belated holiday visit,” Hadley explained. “We went into Boston for the
day, did some shopping, and we returned home to find
that Daisey had raided my daughter’s luggage. This is a
dog who chews or tries to eat just about anything – goats
don’t have anything on her – and she ate chocolate, she
ripped apart a pack of cigarettes and she was just
starting on a tube of lotion when we came home and
found her.”
When calling, pet owners are first asked to provide basic
information such as the pet’s species, breed, age, sex,
and weight. Callers are then asked to provide information
on the actual exposure incident, including what toxins or
products were involved and method of exposure. The experts will also discuss the pet’s symptoms and how much
time has elapsed since the exposure to the toxin, and
based on this information, an action plan is developed.
Recommendations can range from closely monitoring the
13
pet at home, to inducing vomiting, to rushing the pet
to an emergency clinic for more comprehensive care. In
many cases, a pet owner receives some welcome news:
The substance their pet came in contact with is not toxic.
Pet owners are also urged call back with follow-up questions on a case – it’s all included in the $60 consulting
fee, which helps defray the costs of running the hotline
and other services offered by the humane organization,
which receives no state funding.
It’s not just pet owners who benefit from the comprehensive hotline; veterinarians can also receive information
and advice from the toxicologists and other poison control
professionals.
The hotline’s professionals have access to a massive
database comprised of toxin and product information, and
case studies. Notably, none of the information utilized by
the hotline is the result of animal testing.
Whether a pet owner realizes it or not, each and every
home contains dozens of potentially deadly toxins. In the
kitchen, there’s chocolate, grapes and raisins, onions,
garlic, avacados, potatoes, macadamia nuts, mushrooms,
alcohol and caffeine. In the bathroom and laundry room,
there are household cleaners, vitamins and supplements,
dryer sheets, and medications like acetaminophen and
ibuprofen. In the garage and shed, there are matches, antifreeze, mothballs, batteries, glue, rat and mouse poisons
and solvents. In the yard and garden, you’ll find snail and
slug baits, pesticides and herbicides. And there are literally hundreds of plants that can seriously sicken or kill a
pet, including azalea, rhododendron, ivy, lilies, chrysanthemum, pothos, tulips, cyclamen and oleander.
It was a drug called Deramaxx that was involved in a
poisoning scare with Stephanie Georgia’s dog Harvey, a
then-four-year-old lab/shepherd/rottweiler cross in 2006,
and again the poison control hotline came to the rescue.
Georgia and Harvey were visiting the home of a friend
when they left him and the resident dog home alone for a
period of time while they went out to get dinner.
“Harvey is a very food-oriented dog, so before we left, we
did take the time to move any and all food-related items
out of his reach,” Georgia explained, adding, “But when
we returned home, my heart just dropped into my stomach when I realized what Harvey had done. Something
about the resident dog’s bottle of medication must have
had an interesting scent, because he pulled it down off
the counter, chewed the cap off the bottle and munched
away.”
To make the situation even more uncertain, it was initially
unclear how many pills were remaining in the bottle, and

for a period of time, Georgia was unable to contact the individual who was in charge of the other dog’s medication.
“I quickly called Angell to find out if I needed to rush him
in. They told me it was best to bring him in, but they also
suggested I call the hotline,” Georgia said. And it’s a good
thing that she did contact the hotline, as in many cases,
if vomiting is not induced quickly, the animal’s body will
absorb a deadly dose of the toxin by the time they reach
the veterinary clinic. In other cases, particularly when
chemicals or sharp objects have been ingested, vomiting
can do more harm than good, so it’s vital to act quickly
and in the most appropriate manner to ensure the best
possible outcome.
Fortunately for Georgia and Harvey, the mischievous mix
didn’t ingest a toxic dose – it turns out there were only
three pills remaining, which for a dog of Harvey’s size,
posed little danger aside from an upset stomach. “The
hotline was a great help. They had me induce vomiting
with hydrogen peroxide, which worked wonderfully. And
in the end, I was relieved to find that we didn’t have to
head into the emergency vet after all – the hotline ultimately saved us time, money and lots of worry.
“What was really wonderful about the hotline was the
fact that they didn’t just give us information on whether
the drug was toxic and end the call. They had me call
back to ensure that Harvey had vomited, they discussed
his symptoms and all of the possible
side effects. They were just incredibly
helpful and kind,” Georgia added. Notably, in this case, the manufacturer
of the drug, Novartis Animal Health,
fully covered the fee associated with
the hotline, as they routinely cover
the cost of poison control center calls
involving their medications.

In fact, Georgia’s experience with
the hotline was so positive that she
decided to utilize them for a second
time this past holiday season when
a now-six-year-old Harvey decided
to make a meal of her homemade
ornaments, which were covered with
a lacquer that his owner feared could
be toxic. Harvey also managed to get
his paws on some chocolate truffles
that were contained inside a gift.
“There was chocolate right under his
nose and we didn’t even realize it!”
Georgia explained, proving that even
the most cautious, conscientious pet
owners are not invulnerable to these
sorts of situations.
So for a second time, the experts at
15
the Animal Poison Control Center provided Georgia with
information on how to induce vomiting and up came
wrappers, chocolate
truffles that Harvey had swallowed whole, and an ornament pieces. A bit of investigation revealed that the
lacquer used on the ornaments was not toxic once dried,
and since Harvey was able to bring up the chocolate before it was absorbed by his system, the effects from this
second incident were minimal.
Today, both Harvey and Daisey are happy, healthy and as
mischievous as ever, thanks to the Animal Poison Control
Center, which helps over 130,000 pet owners every year.
With so many poisons out there, it’s very possible that
every pet owner will at some point wonder whether their
pet is in danger. And if a call to the poison control center
leaves a pet owner wondering where they can turn for
medical care, they won’t have to look too far.
Angell Animal Medical Center offers ‘round the clock care
at its state-of-the art facility in Boston, and for those island
dwellers, there’s a second branch located on Nantucket.
In addition to providing emergency and critical care,
Angell Animal Medical Center has an array of veterinary
specialists on staff. Pet parents can make appointments
to meet with specialists in a wide array of areas, including anatomic and clinical pathology, avian and exotic pet
medicine, behavior, cardiology and cardiac surgery, dentistry, dermatology, diagnostic imaging, general medicine,
internal medicine, neurology and neurosurgery, nutrition,
oncology, ophthalmology, pain medicine and surgery. Angell is also a leader when it comes to veterinary studies.
Some current ongoing studies include a weight loss study
and a renal study, designed to determine the impact of
diet when it comes to treating dogs with kidney disease.

Why is this important?
If you own an animal, work with animals or advocate
on behalf of animals, then you should learn the laws in
your state. The type of animal involved will dictate the
laws that apply.
There are laws that protect your animals, laws that
regulate your animals and laws that determine what
you must do if you own, work with or advocate on
behalf of animals.
For example, Rhode Island has seven different species
of native non-marine turtles. Some might think of these
turtles as cute, little animals to bring home to a put in
a box as a pet. But the state has several of its turtles on
a list of “endangered, protected and species of concern
wildlife.” Therefore, possession of a protected turtle
could be a violation of law.
Massachusetts just became the first state in the nation
to create a management plan for its offshore resources.
This law will help protect ocean wildlife. If you work as
a commercial fisherman, then this new law, which has
a special provision relative to codfish, could affect you.
Conclusion
Defining what is in fact an animal under the law is not
necessarily a straightforward determination. The Legislature may define a word differently than it is generally
used or understood. Take an inventory of your animals
and find out how your animals legally defined your
state. You may be surprised at what you find.

What is Animal Law?
As part of the MSPCA-Angell partnership, Angell Animal
Medical Center works hand-in-hand with the MSPCA (Massachusetts Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals).
Founded in 1868, MSPCA-Angell is the second oldest
humane society in the nation. The non-profit organization
receives no state funding, and therefore relies on private
donations and fundraising events to continue its mission.
The staff at the two Angell Animal Medical Center
branches and the seven MSPCA animal care and adoption
centers work with more than 250,000 every year. Adoption centers are located in Boston, Methuen, Centerville,
Nantucket, Edgartown, Brockton and Springfield.

Honey, is that you?
Oh No, it’s the DOG!
by Katenna Jones
Photo by Traer Scott
I
t was a wonderful evening, maybe with a romantic dinner, possibly even an unexpected bouquet
of flowers. Or maybe it’s just a lazy Sunday
afternoon hanging around the house. You look
into each other’s eyes, perhaps caress one another
gently, or just wink and nod - but before you know
it one thing leads to another. It’s the perfect
moment, filled with passion and anticipation. Then it
happens…a cold, wet nose where it shouldn’t be. Talk
about a mood killer!
they freak out if they’re locked out of the room – but the
main problem is that they seem confused and kind of
disconcerted. Sometimes, one in particular just sits at
the end of the bed and whimpers while other times, I
think the commotion is too much, she sneaks under the
covers and then the nose takes over, which is just really
disturbing and kind of a mood breaker.”
“One dog could care less. The other just hangs out on
the bed and sometimes sticks her nose in places where
it doesn’t belong. But I don’t think either of them have
the slightest interest or concern.”
It’s something not everyone talks about. Some people
don’t even experience it. But many pet owners know
exactly what I’m talking
“Actually I think it’s me
about. Is your pet watching?
In a culture where we don’t all

it’s high time we discuss this issue. My intention is not

a kiss about to happen.”
Here is what a few people had to say about their
voyeurs; I mean dogs:
“I don’t really mind my dogs being around during intimate times, and they give me little choice because
The first time it happened to me, we had recently
adopted our dog who thankfully leapt out of bed at
the perfect moment. Fast forward to us discovering

behavior, then there is usually no reason to ban
17them
from furniture.
But this is a topic for a future article…
In a culture where we don’t all openly discuss sex, it is
natural to feel mixed emotions after being “caught” or
“watched.” Let me assure you – your pets do not know
what is happening and there is no reason for you to be
embarrassed. If your pet sees your naughty bits, it’s
not a big deal.
Then there are pets who display moderate or serious
anxiety during intimate times. I have no idea why
my dog shook during intimate times, but I can only
assume she didn’t understand what was happening.
She tends to be a bit on the fearful side anyway, but
that doesn’t mean we should ignore her fear. Fearful
or anxious behavior requires attention, and the assistance of a behaviorist may be needed. In our case, we
found that the best solution was to just stop letting
her sleep with us when we are both in bed. She sleeps
quite comfortably on the couch or in one of her beds,
never shakes and is quite happy with the arrangement. And frankly, so are we!
Pets are simple. They do not understand things like
being naked, sex or kissing. What they do respond
to is shouting or odd body movements because these
things are out of the norm for a pet – what the heck
is my person doing!? And how do pets investigate
unusual things? They sniff or, God forbid, lick the
things they are curious about. It may be really creepy,
but it’s just innocent curiosity and investigation.
So what can you do? In a case where your pet is
displaying aggressive behavior, call a qualified
behaviorist as you could have a potentially very
dangerous situation that needs to be addressed right
away. There are some who believe dogs do not belong
in the bed at all, however, I do not agree it’s always
that black and white. Certainly, there are homes
where pets just do not belong on furniture but if your
pet is not displaying aggressive or overly assertive
And what about the average person who is just not
comfortable with being “watched?” Try escorting your
pet off the bed, crating them, shutting the bedroom
door, or simply ignoring them. One thing that may
help is to have a “game plan” for pets during intimate
times. Make sure both partners know the plan and
practice it ahead of time just like you would when
teaching any new skill to your pet. If your pet is not
used to being crated in the middle of the day, they
may become uncomfortable and end up ruining the

While researching photographers for our
summer feature, we were thrilled to come
across a studio with such a playful and
diverse portfolio. dane + dane studio is a
pet photography and design studio based
in Seattle and Portland but serving clients
around the globe. It would seem that we
not only found a wonderful photographer,
J.Nichole Smith, but also an entire studio
dedicated to pets and people too!
dane + dane studios is no longer just a
girl her dog and her camera. Founder J.
Nichole Smith’s studio now consists of a
number of people who specialize in areas
such as photography, branding, design,
artful corporate pet photography and
even more.
One interesting niche that dane + dane
has ventured into is dog wedding photography. Amilia Soper, who is the other
photographer at dane + dane, specializes
in cats and weddings and is considered
the ‘resident expert’ with both. Founder,
Nichole explains, “dog wedding photography is a novel concept and a tight niche in
the wedding photography world.”

According to wedaholic.com, “Dogs in
particular are becoming the new untraditional participants in wedding ceremonies. They are either being entrusted with
roles such as ring bearers, bridesmaids,
and groomsmen or are simply present
during the ceremony to bear witness to
their owner’s nuptials.”

J.Nichole had no idea four years ago, when
she was a dogless student, that her photographic career would eventually bring her
back to combine her lifelong love of animals
with her “gift for seeing” into one job so perfect. “I can’t help but feel like it was created
just for me. I constantly find myself pulling
from the wisdom that my many years as a
Vet Tech/Assistant afforded me and I learn
something new about animals and photography every day. I am absolutely blessed to
have the best job on earth.”

Party Cookies
1 large apple
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup oatmeal
1 1/2 cups whole wheat
flour plus 1/8 cup whole
wheat flour. Preheat oven to
350 degrees. Core, slice and
mince the apple (use a food processor if you have one). In
a large bowl, combine the minced apple bits, honey, water,
cinnamon, and oatmeal. Gradually blend in the wheat
flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.
In a small bowl, add 1/8 cup wheat flour. Spoon the
dough by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets,
spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie using
the bottom of a glass dipped in the wheat flour (to prevent
sticking). Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and flip each cookie to brown evenly
on both sides. Reduce oven temperature to 325° F (180°
C). Return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Let cool overnight. Makes about 3 dozen crunchy cookies,
depending on how big you make them.

Peanut Chicken
Chunk Treats
1 cup whole wheat
flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup chicken broth
(low sodium, 0 fat)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup chopped chicken jerky
(less than a 1/2" size)
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, until a stiff dough forms.
Knead dough for 1-2 minutes, then roll 1/4" thick. The
chicken chunks may make this a little difficult if you’ve
made them too big. I didn't have a small cookie cutter so I
used a shot glass to make 1 1/4" circles in the dough then
transferred to a cookie sheet. I placed a small piece of jerky
on top of each treat. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour, then
turn off oven and let set for another 30-60 minutes until
completely dry.
moment anyway. Instead, practice a few “dry runs”
to work out the details, get your pet comfortable
with the plan, so you and your partner are on the
same page. You may even want to come up with a
word or phrase to signal to each other “Honey, it’s
time to put the dog in the crate, if you know what
I mean…” Have fun with it!
You don’t need to spend too much of your intimate
time worrying about it, if you have a plan. We all
have busy lives and don’t spend nearly enough
time enjoying our loved ones or simply having sex.
Whether your pet is in the bed or out, watching
or not, is up to you. Having a system in place to
get the room ready for romance can help you both
enjoy uninterrupted intimacy – and can help keep
any cold, wet noses where they should be: out of
your business. Good luck, and remember to have
fun and enjoy each other!

Local RI dog trainer Jeff Gellman is working to help save the lives of hard to adopt
dogs in partnership with The Providence
Animal Rescue League. Jeff is taking in
one dog at a time into his private training
kennel and conducting a two week training boot camp with each dog. He acts
as a foster home while incorporating his
“boot camp” for these homeless dogs from
PARL. At the conclusion of the training
period, Jeff works to find a new
Max - currently available for adoption
owner for the dog and following up with
a minimum of three hours of training for the family. Jeff Gellman does this
at no charge to shelter or prospective new parents. All costs associated with
feeding/housing and training each individual dog are incurred by him.
Jeff is well known in the Northeast as a rehabilitator of hard to train dogs and
is hugely successful with dogs that no one else seems to be able to train. He
finds that his unorthodox but humane training methods are well received by
both dog and human.
Jeff currently has 3 dogs ready for adoption, including Max who came from
PARL. Jeff tells us, “Max has learned sit/stay, down/stay, heel, place and
wait. He is a high energy dog and would do well with a family that has a
fenced in yard and another dog for him to play with. Young kids are not
advised since I feel that a lot of dogs get surrendered by families who do not
understand dog/puppy behavior and that is why dogs end up in shelters.”
You can find more info about Max, the other dogs that Jeff has for adoption
or more info about his training methods by visiting his website at www.
SolidK9Training.com or call him at 401.527.6354. You may also call PARL
at 401.421.1399 for an adoption application to adopt Max.
A New Leash On Life
Salem, MA
The compassion that started at Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem M.A., 31 years
ago has now blossomed into a state of the
art facility that will set the standard for all
shelters across America.
The new building on Highland Avenue in
Salem, M.A. will allow Northeast Animal
Shelter to continue its mission, rescuing
homeless dogs across America and local
homeless cats for many years to come.
In addition to placing many more cats and
dogs with loving families, the shelter is now
able to expand it’s outreach into the
community with multiple outreach programs
that include an expansive humane education
initiative. This will help stop homelessness
before it starts by teaching the next
generations the importance of kindness
towards animals.

attendance were Sophia’s older brothers Mason (4yr old Chocolate
Lab) and Snoopy (14yr old Dalmatian), her younger sister Ava (7
month old Chocolate Lab) and over 20 of Sophia’s closest friends
from Daycare with their Mothers and Fathers. In liue of gifts Sophia
and her mom asked that donations be made to the “Pet Refuge” (a
no kill animal shelter) located on Stoney Lane in North Kingstown,
RI. Lots of donations were made and everyone had a wonderful
time. Kristina was very grateful for all of the love and support.
the letter
My Name is Jack Sprengel and I would like to nominate my wife Kristina Sprengel for “Dog” Mother of the
year. Kristina Sprengel has volunteered and worked
in the Animal-Care field since the age of 13. She would
tell you that she is married with eight adopted “children.” These consist of Dogs, Cats and other animals
she found needing a home. The more needy the animal
the more passion she has for them. Kristina’s dogs are
arguably, her reason for living. Her oldest, Snoopy, a
14 year old Dalmatian was given up by his owners at
the age of eight. Fearing that he would be put to sleep,
she made arrangements and adopted him. Six years
later she still waits on him, often literally on hand and
knee.
When Kristina adopted Snoopy she was already the
mother of a Liver Spot Dalmatian named Tosha. She

Treating
Canine
Arthritis
Naturally
by Jeanie Marie Kraft
J
ust like humans, many dogs suffer from arthritis pain and
inflammation as they age, as joints and bones naturally
degenerate over time. Fortunately, arthritis can often be
managed with the help of acupuncture,Traditional Chinese
Medicine, supplements and nutrition. Natural and alternative
therapies are generally safe, effective and can be used in conjunction with western medicine.
If your dog suffers from arthritis, these are a few natural
remedies that are helpful: Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate
with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) will help protect and
lubricate joints. Research has shown that MSM has an strong
anti-inflammatory effect. Glucosamine has been studied for over
20 years in humans, and has been proven effective to relieve
arthritic joint pain. Please note that it may take four to six weeks
before your dog feels the results from these supplements.
An Omega 3 essential fatty acid supplement from fish oil or
flaxseed oil also works as an anti-inflammatory.These help to
lubricate the joints and help with inflammation. Omega 3 oils
will also improve the health and appearance of your dog’s coat.
Omega 3 oils have been proven to help reduce excess weight in
people and dogs. Nutritional supplements containing enzymes
and antioxidants have been shown to reduce inflammation,
promote healthy joints, increase circulation and support
immune function. One product of this type in Wobenzym(r), a
nutritional product for humans. I’ve received good reports from
people using this supplement with arthritic dogs.
Diet plays an essential role in decreasing the symptoms of
arthritis. Studies have indicated that wheat can exacerbate pain
and cause inflammation in both humans and animals. Cooking
for your dog is the best option. However if you cannot make the
time to cook, then make sure you are feeding your dog the best
food you can find. Choose a safe brand that is organic, and
contains free-range meat. Unfortunately most grocery stores do
not carry the best pet food brands. It is the smaller independently owned pet supply shops and on-line shops that carry the
better quality brands.
Your dog’s food should also be wheat, corn and soy free.These
filler ingredients may exacerbate arthritis and often are involved
in weight gain.Wheat, soy and corn products have also been
linked to allergies and skin problems in animals. Make sure the
treats you feed your dog are also free of wheat, corn and soy,
especially if your dog is overweight, as this puts more pressure
on already weakened joints. One of my favorite dog treats is
Cinna-bones made by Solid Gold. These cookies are not only
free of wheat, soy or corn but they also contain cinnamon which
is very effective in relieving pain in arthritis made worse with
cold damp weather.

Acupuncture & Arthritis
Study after study have shown that acupuncture and Chinese
herbs are effective to relieve the pain and inflammation of
arthritis in both humans and dogs. Canine acupuncture is also
an effective treatment for hip and elbow dysplasia, ligament and
tendon injuries, and many other ailments. Acupuncture helps to
increase circulation to the muscles and joint capsules, providing
more oxygen and slowing cell degeneration. It also relieves
painful muscle spasms and releases endorphins to make your
dog feel better. Most humans and dogs feel relaxed and
experience pain relief after an acupuncture session. Don’t expect
an instant one-treatment miracle, though. Acupuncture has a
cumulative effect. Over time, the treatments build on one
another, giving better results with each successive treatment.
These natural approaches to treating canine arthritis are
generally safe and effective, but you should check with your
pet healthcare provider before using a new supplement.
Jeanie Marie Kraft is an acupuncturist, herbalist, nutritionist and
author living in Salem, Massachusetts, with a private practice
treating dogs with Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has special
interest in pain and dysfunction syndromes including hip dysplasia.
She is a former faculty member of the Canadian College of Oriental
Medicine (Toronto, Canada) and has published two books on
traditional Chinese herbal medicine and theory, as well as authoritative articles on Oriental Medicine. She has been treating dogs
(and humans) with acupuncture for more than 10 years.
In addition to her interest in treating pain and movement disorders,
Jeanie Marie is also interested in canine athletes, and hopes one day
to work with the incredible dogs of Alaska’s Iditarod race.

reta my IG (Italian greyhound) is the perfect pooch for
paintings and good as gold as a greyhound for the galleries. I copied the columns that Animal Print has published and featured, and entered a collage of the cutout pages,
framed in cherrywood, for a show this spring at the R.I.S.D.
museum. They put my piece in a special glass case (that’s
how valuable it was?) and a former museum director, Franklin
Robinson, managed to auction it off successfully. As of this
writing, I don’t know who welcomes Greta and her ghostly
images into his or her parlor, but I am, or we are, proud of this
contribution to the realms of art.
Actually, Greta’s breed was designed for beauty, to pose
prettily for portraits, and this has not been Greta’s debut or
coming out. She sat for an illustration done by Mike Bryce for
a book of poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay, and somebody in
Jamestown purchased the original water color. I never found
out who it was or where it has found its home by the bay.
The French artist, Rosa Bonheur, once famously painted an
Italian greyhound, but Greta has mostly been translated into
words, my hymns and odes to her glory, or into candids and
snapshots…with one other recent and remarkable exception. We visit the underground art world of Gerry Puleo,
who gathers local professionals and amateurs
with brush, pen, and charcoal at easels set up
around a raised stage. Greta and I were asked
to sit for a three-hour session and we accepted
graciously, nay, enthusiastically. These days, our
theme is aging gracefully. Greta at 15 is white
in the snout…just like me. People still stop us
to admire her charm, and children mistake her
for a puppy, but on closer inspection you can

see that she has the dignity and detachment of
canine wisdom. I mean, we both show our age
a bit, but we look great as a team. Greta was

Greta will survive as a symbol and an icon. I

We know something ancient about the phantom
world, the storybook world, where the spirit
comes through and goes forth. Greta was born

was Kristina’s Best-friend since childhood. They welcomed Snoopy into their lives and spent a wonderful five
years together until late spring of 2007. Tragically, Tosha
developed a violent seizure disorder that despite extensive
attempts at treatment, ultimately took her life. Losing
her best friend, Kristina became a different person. It was
as if part of her died with “Tosh”. After several months of
melancholy existence, I knew that only one thing could ever
fill the void left in her heart.
An extensive search, revealed a young female Dal in
Oklahoma in need of a home. Kristina saved up money in
order to have her flown in to New England. I can remember
watching the cart pull up with little Sophia in her cage. An
immediate twinkle could be seen in Kristina’s eyes as they
carried the fragile pup over to her. She was beautiful. After
only a few months of adjusting to her new surroundings,
Sophia developed a dangerous case of pneumonia. Kristina
stayed up day and night tending to her needs until she
was able to recover. Only a few weeks later, Sophia began
to exhibit unusual neurological behaviors. These consisted
of head-bobbing, unsteady gait and ultimately becoming
frozen stiff with intense pain. Kristina rushed Sophie from
one emergency clinic to the next, each one running different tests, each test raising more questions. After watching
Kristina suffer with the loss of her first Dal, this became all
too unbearable to witness. She spent ever free moment of
her time at Sophie’s side, trying to make her comfortable.
She only seemed to sleep by passing out from all of the
exhaustion and crying.
Eventually, Sophia was diagnosed with Steroid Responsive
Meningitis. This like the pneumonia was likely the result
of a hereditary auto-immune disorder. Despite the ever
increasing mountain of veterinary bills and extreme emotional strain, Kristina spared no expense of time or finance
whether she had it or not, to save her little girl. To date,
Sophia has pulled though by staying on a strict plan involving both medicine and diet. This June, Kristina is planning
a huge celebration for Sophia’s 1st birthday against all
odds. Kristina gives selflessly towards improving the lives
of dogs. I sincerely wish that you will give her your serious
consideration.

Little John here, and I like hanging out up
here by the ceiling. I like to keep my eye on
things here in the colony room, and this is the
perfect vantage point. I also like chin scratches
- very much, thank you! I’m a curious, friendly
boy whose previous owners moved. Stop by
and say hello - just look up and you’ll find me.
Love, Little John
I’m Barnimus, and in my previous life I was a
stray hanging out at the Save-A-Lot shopping
for a new owner. But I realized that here at the
adoption center the shopping is much better! I’m a playful, energetic young man who
is quite the class clown. And quite handsome,
don’t you agree? Basically you can’t go wrong
with an orange cat. Come see for yourself.
Barney is the best dog you will ever meet! I
am such a well behaved dog who would love
nothing more than to lie on the couch with
you. I love getting my head and ears rubbed
and if you give me a yummy treat I will be
yours forever. I may be older, but I have lots of
personality and tons more wisdom than these
young pups here so come and check me out.

will love petting her velvety fur.

Mantha – If you’ve heard that song that goes
like this…”sad eyes, turn the other way, I don’t
want to see you cry…” then you’ll understand
why it comes to mind when we reflect on
Mantha’s story. Her owners brought her unannounced and just dropped her off, claiming
they were being evicted -- the new excuse for
people who abandon their animals.
Hevena was running around a Cambridge
nieghborhood very pregnant when St. Meows
was alerted to her plight. Not sooner after she
was settled in her. Hevena gave birth to two
adorable orange kittens. Sadly one of them
died. She became all the more attach to her
baby son, Jenner, and they’re inseperable. So
we are adopting these two as a pair.
Nishka epitomizes the adage “life is unfair.”
She wants only one things out of life – to be
normal. But she has had some very awful demons form her past to overcome. She was severely beaten by her former owner who then
ultimately dumped her at a busy intersection
in Hyde Park.
Willis proves that there are just as many good
people in the world as there are bad… his
owners packed up a moving van and moved
away. A few days later a neighbor noticed a cat
sitting on the porch of the now vacant Cambridge apartment, waiting at its door. Being
severe asthmatics, couldn’t take the kitty in. So
they did the next best thing.

Bubba is the most endearing pooch that you’ll
ever meet. Do you smell that? It’s the scent of
fun times and frolicking with your new best
friend… ME. Don’t you just want to get out
in this unbelievable spring weather? I know
I do; let’s get going! So let me go over the
basics. I am potty-trained, crate-trained, and
snuggle-trained.
Crash is in New York. Here is a note from
Crash’s mom who is unable to keep him do to
life changes that do not allow her to keep her
beloved dog: Crash was a very klutzy puppy
- the name Crash just fit him perfectly. He’s
about 5 years old around 80 pounds, and I’ve
had him since he was 6 months.
Oscar was found roaming around the north
shore all by my lonesome self in the early
springtime. I’m a healthy, friendly pit bull of
60 pounds. Although my head weighs most
of that, it’s not because I have a hearty ego!
I am one easy-going, down-to-earth boy. I’m
happy no matter what- whether I’m jogging
with you, or curled up on the couch.
Duke, a Mastiff mix who was found as a stray
by local animal control. We think he is part
Great Dane, but we cannot be sure of his breed
because we do not know much about his history. The shelter had limited space, so Underdog
ResQ stepped in to help. Duke is a gentle giant
who weighs about 95 pounds. Duke is about 1
year old, so he still has some growing to do.

Dahlia is a young 8 month maybe a little
younger brown tiger baby. She is an absolute
doll. She may even have some Siamese in her
because she is a bit cross eyed. She’s not crazy
about being held but she is crazy about loving
up against you and head butting. She loves to
play and doesn’t mind dogs either.
Starsky is a very handsome out going kind
of a guy. He’s only a year old. Him and his
brother are like glue. Constantly washing each
other, laying together using each other as a
pillow. It’s the most adorable thing to see.
Starsky is the one who gives reassurance to his
brother Hutch. He loves to be pet and doesn’t
mind being held.
Hutch is a very handsome but a little shy love
bug of a guy. He’s only a year old. Him and
his brother are like glue. Constantly washing
each other, laying together using each other
as a pillow. It’s the most adorable thing to see.
Hutch is the quiet one that like reassurance
from his brother Starsky.
Anthony is only 15 weeks old and what a lovable boy he is. As soon as you pick his up he
purrs up a storm. He loves to be held. He’s a
playful little boy.
Providence Animal Rescue League - RI • 401.421.1399 • www.parl.org
Kylee is your basic shelter mutt. We think she’s
a Doberman mix, but can’t be sure. She’s
probably got four or five other breeds mixed
in there. At three years-old, Kylee has energy
but is well out of her puppy years. She loves
to run and play, but she knows when to settle
down. Shes great with dogs, cats, and small
children (age 5+).
Maxwell is a bouncy, euphoric pup who loves
to just run, play, sprint, sniff stuff, soak up attention… and repeat. At only six months old,
Maxwell has tons of puppy energy left in him.
We need Maxwell to go to an experienced
dog owner because he becomes mouthy and
can nip when he gets over-excited.
Boomer just wants to have fun! Boomer is a
big, young, high-energy pit mix who will need
an active household and plenty of exercise.
Boomer loves to chase tennis balls, but only
occasionally brings them back (hmmm). He’s
very play and people focused and just loves to
romp. This is a very fun-oriented dog.
Teaka is an extremely loveable and sweet,
adult Lab mix. Teaka loves to be around people, but she’s not clingy. She’s extremely affectionate and loves both treats and deep shoulder scratches. Her energy levels are moderate.
She’ll need exercise to stay trim, but not tons.

Maddie is a sweet, playful and mellow gal.
She was left behind in an apartment when
the tenant moved out, along with Calloway.
We estimate Maddie to be under 1 year or
about 1 year but can not be sure of ages.
Maddie is spayed and doing great with her
litterbox. Maybe her and Calloway could be
a pair too....
Calloway is a handsome, social and playful
bun. He likes attention! He was left behind in
an apartment when the tenant moved out,
along with Maddie… We estimate Calloway is
about 1 year old. He is neutered and doing
well with his litterbox. If interested in Calloway,
please visit www.sweetbinks.org for adoption
policies and online adoption application.
Sonny is a real cutie and a bundle of energy!
He has beautiful blue eyes, is about 6 months
old and he is neutered. He is doing very well
with his litterbox and loves to play and zip
around! Great first bun! If interested, please

home. These may be a cat or dog who is ill or injured or a litter of
kittens that are too young to be placed. Only those with approved
foster applications will be permitted to participate in our foster
program. Foster volunteers must also provide a simple background

We were stationed in Sasebo when Zoe arrived
wrapped in a big red bow on Thanksgiving evening. She joined us on each military move, ulitimately
living in five states. She enjoyed hikes up Mt. Yumahari in Japan, long walks and off leash parks in Virginia, long runs and play in acres of land in Florida, the
snow in Pennsylvania, daily hikes and run on the beautiful mountain trails of Washington, and daily romps at
the dog beach in California. During her last year of life,
her favorite thing to do was to stand “watch” on the hill
in front of our home in Seal Beach, CA as seen in the
current cover photo of the Animal Print. She passed
away in February 2008 from congenital heart disease.
“One of a kind
gemstones made with your
pet’s cremated remains”
Ronnie
“Ronnie”, the lovable “Paws and Claws’’ mascot, moved
to heaven on April 12, 2008. This 13 year old, 103 lbs.,
goofball, was a well known Rhode Island poster child for
“why we love our pitbulls.” I adopted “Ronnie” after he
was abandoned in elderly housing by a well known Newport drug dealer/dog fighter. “Ron” served no purpose to
this individual, since he hated to fight. “Ronnie” changed
my life; teaching me about the horrors of pit bull fighting,
teens with nothing to do, advocacy, politics, and volunteering. “Ronnie” was a miracle boy, living 2.5 years with
“Mast Cell Cancer,” which never effected him until his last
two days. It will be impossible to forget the big wonderful
smile he gave you, after he ever so gently nipped your butt
and ran away laughing the whole while. I love you Ron!!!
