This is another Dog Friendly email- so of course, if you’re not smitten with the four legged beasts just disregard. It’s Summer… time for alot of fun events and activities.

Here’s a few events and places that welcomes polite dogs:

Dog Friendly businesses: Western Farm Center is a special place to bring your dog and it’s fun to socialize with other dogs and their owners. The friendly folk at the register will even offer your beloved pet a treat. The Santa Rosa Visitor’s Center knows that many people travel with their pets- they offer treats and a cool bowl of water. D’Argenzio Winery is a wonderful place to socialize & drink wine- an extra bonus is that well-mannered dogs are welcomed.

Dog Park Ettiquette Tip: When a new dog enters the park- call your dogs to you so that the new dog and owner can enter the park. This makes for a smoother, calmer transition for the new dog that’s joining in.

DeTurk Dog Park needs your plastic bags- bread bags, newspaper bags, grocery bags. Leave them hanging on the fence… and we’ll take it from there… thanks!

April 17th, Sunday at 3 p.m.- Pug Play Day at DeTurk Round Barn Park. The only thing cuter than a Pug… is 20 pugs. Check out Pug Play day the 3rd Sunday of every month.

Pug Play Day

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. 1^st. Poodle Day 2011

Gotta Love Western Farm Center!

Even the West End’s Mail Carrier Dana is pet friendly!

Our Dog Friendly Mail carrier

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.

Dog Friendly Event- March 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st, Thursday. The rumor is that Wine Down Thursdays at D’Argenzio Winery/Vintner’s Square is a Dog Friendly event.

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!

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.

Olive in her "living room"

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.

Tux & Edo

VERY funny! Check out this talented Schnoodle! Click here. Thanks to Tim Sarter for finding this gem to share.

A historic restoration! Another West End historic home renewal is happening on the corner of Decker and Dutton. This house has had a long, checkered past- the new owners are carefully renovating this little beauty.

Decker house looking fine!

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.
