DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park- Many dogs and their owners are enjoying our beautiful dog park in the heart of the West End. Most of the experiences are good. Unfortunately, there are a few troublesome situations. Dog parks should be safe and friendly for everyone. They are a place for dogs to socialize and exercise. Good communication is key. Common sense, etiquette and the Dog Park rules dictate that dogs are not to be left unattended and that the owner will be responsible and correct (if necessary) their pet’s behavior. That owners will pick up after their dogs. It is also understandable that aggressive dogs and people are not conducive to a positive, community experience at a dog park.  To see the City of Santa Rosa’s Dog Park rules- click here! For a Dangerous and Vicious Animal/Bites: Call the SRPD- 911 or from a cell 707-576-1371 to respond to a situation where an animal has either bitten a person or is menacing the public. You may also file a complaint with the So. Co. Animal Shelter at (707) 565-7100. If you have a dog who has behavior problems… don’t despair. Get help. Animals are not perfect and they don’t come with instruction manuals. Find a trainer or resource to help you resolve the behavior problem.

Not sure what to do with your plastic bags? We can  gladly use them at the dog park. Just place them in one of the mesh bag holders hanging on the fence. We’ll take it from there!

Wanna laugh? Check out the Guilty Dog video. A must see for dog lovers! Click here!

Remember Rocky? He was the dog that endured a horrible beating while tied up to a fence on Wilson Street. He was rescued, nursed back to health and spent some time being trained at the So. Humane Society. He was then placed at at Rotts of Friends where he awaits for a forever home. He has made it through an unbelievable situation, had many people support him and now awaits that final special person to take him home. Check him out: Click here!

Pet Friendly- Lagunitas Tap room. It’s got great beer, good food, music and is Dog friendly. Wish it was in Santa Rosa… but it’s worth the drive to Petaluma. Lagunitas Tap Room

Poodle Day 2011- there is a Poodle Day held every year in Carmel, CA. It sounds like so much fun! There’s many events like a parade and cocktail parties- ALL Poodle friendly!  Carmel is one of most dog friendly cities in the United States. (Hopefully, one day Santa Rosa will also work toward having dog friendly events.) This event benefits Nor-Cal Poodles Rescue. Check it out… there’s lots of time to plan since it’s not until Oct. 1st.

Did you lose a kitten? Hi- I live on Pierson street and a tuxedo kitty wandered onto my back deck last night. He’s about 2-3 months old, very sleek with short black hair, a white chest and stomach and white sox on all four feet. Purrs all the time, very aggressive for petting. I hope the owner can reclaim him soon.   Terrie  415 794 9139  (yes I know it’s an SF area code but I’m in Santa Rosa)

Roaming Pit bulls FYI- Just wanted to let you/neighborhood know there were two pit bulls on the loose Sunday morning (March 27th)  on W. 7th  (approx. 8-8:30a.m.).  One was brown and one was brindled.  They attacked one of our cats on my mom’s porch and would have torn her apart if my husband had not gone out to chase them away.  They seemed a bit aggressive.  When Josh chased them away, they headed off towards Trowbridge and then west.  We called animal control, but I doubt they were able to find them.  I’m guessing they went back home.

Event and Happenings Highlights-

March 30th, Wednesday – The Pick Me Up Music Revue featuring local artists The Courtney Janes, Juan Boulder, Heather Van Cleve & Tessa Rissacher .

West End Pet Friendly News
Author:
• Wednesday, March 09th, 2011
The West End is a great place to live if you are a dog! West Enders like other animals too: cats, birds… and if you live on Boyce St. you had better like squirrels because they’re taking over! Here’s the latest pet friendly news.

March 13th, Sunday- West End Poodle Party. Time for the Poodles to party again. The Poodle Party is a time to get together, watch the Poodles romp and for owners to talk “poodle”. Other “Poodle-Friendly” dogs are welcomed to attend. Location: DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park 819 Donahue St. Time: 11 a.m.  Facebook

Cats & Birds- good separately but together not so much-  A bird bath is an essential feature for gardeners trying to attract birds. Birdbaths should be placed in an open area about 10 feet away from a sheltering tree or large shrub. Close enough for fast flight to safety but far enough away to be out of reach of a cat lying in wait. Speaking of cats, a small bell on Fluffy’s collar can help give birds a bit of notice.

Ring so birdie can run...errr fly.

Three events you will want to take note of on March 17th- 1) The official re-dedication of Maverick’s Plaque at DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park 2) The Grand Opening of the DeTurk Round Barn and 3) The West End Neighborhood Association Spring Meeting at the DeTurk Round Barn.

3 P.M. Re-dedication of Maverick plaque at DeTurk Dog Park- Maverick was the first So. Co. Sheriff’s K9 killed in the line of duty. On July 15, 2000 the original plaque was unveiled by Maverick’s owner/handler T. J. Van Bebber. In 2010, the entire park and barn went through a major renovation- a new plaque will be unveiled at the new dog park.

Interesting, but poignant  West End lore: Did you know that every year on the day of Maverick’s death that flowers are placed at the plaque by the family? This year, the plaque was not there but Maverick was still remembered.

West End Pet News- February
Author:
• Tuesday, February 01st, 2011

Pet Friendly neighborhood news, activities and events.

February 13th, Sunday- West End Poodle Party. The park will be packed with a herd of Poodles! Great fun. Place: DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park  Time: 11 a.m. See West End Poodle Party on facebook

February 20th, Sunday- Pug Play Day. Pugs like to party too. In fact, they had so much fun at their January party- that they held a second January party. See a posse of Pugs at the park. Place: DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park Time: 3 p.m.

New West End Puppies-  Congrats to Joan. She has two new Poodle babies- brother & sister as of yet, un-named. Aren’t they cute?

Darling!

Darling!

The 2011 West End Dogs and Dog Park photo gallery has new photos for this year. Perhaps your dogs is in it. Check it out!

Animal Lovers are always happy to find a Pet Friendly business, event or activity. Be sure to show your appreciation by becoming a loyal customer.

Western Farm Center, located in the heart of the West End, has always been a fun place to “go shopping” with your dog. Not only do they have a vast selection of pet related products, but the staff is very knowledgeable about any questions you might have. The best part, at least for your dog, will be the treat they will get at the check out counter. Western Farm Center

Railroad Square loves dogs too! – Dog lovers will be delighted when they walk by the Cast Away Yarn Shop . Shop owner Justine Malone has set up a comfy living room scene in her front window where Olive, her adorable Boston Terrier, lazes in front of the “fireplace”. FYI- You won’t see Olive every day- she works only part-time.

Pet Friendly Cafe- Kudos to Rendez Vous Bistro. In true French style, they welcome well-behaved canines to dine with their humans on their patio. Rendez Vous Bistro is located at 614 Fourth Street Santa Rosa. Let’s support our pet friendly businesses to show them we appreciate them. Check out their menu- click here.

Anyone need to add some new fur people to their home?-   St. Rose resident, Denise Hill reports: These teenage twins (to clarify, we’re talking about cats) showed up on our doorstep the week before Christmas very thin and cold. We’ve named them Tux and Edo. Not sure if they’re girls or boys. When they allow us to get more personal we’ll find out.  They picked the right foster home since they now have a wind and rain proof outdoor bedroom complete with Thermacare 12-hour heat packs when its super chilly at night. They also get 2 square meals a day. This annoys the heck out of our Calico, Fiona, who spends feeding time glaring at them from our office window – if looks could kill they would be in kitty heaven right now. Later, other cats arrived- the number is at 4 or so. If you’ve been looking for a Sylvester kitty or another purring friend- contact Denise.

Recent Home Sales: With the real estate market in flux and a West End landlord who has found it necessary to sell several properties- there’s lots of activity. Yes, there has been “flipping” -homes bought by investors, quickly beautified for resale (often without benefit of  permit one suspects ) but the end result may be new West End owners/residents who can enjoy downtown living. Here’s a few recent sales: Nov 28th- 135 W. 7th Street; Dec 12- 225 W. 8th St. $322,000; December 5, 107 Decker $170,000.

West End Carolers on video. The weather foiled the plans of the West End Carolers visiting the hood- but this a short video from their performance at the Toad in the Hold. Click here! Boyce Street was treated to another wonderful group of carolers, in spite of the rain. Thanks Paul and Veronica for spreading cheer.
