501(3) (c) organization. Intro to Reiki with Animals, 6/23, 5–6
PM, with Rose Jobe, Reiki Master, no charge Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction &
relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is based on the idea that an
unseen "life force energy" flows through us. A treatment feels like
a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through & around you. Reiki
treats the whole pet including body, emotions, mind & spirit. Contact us at the store to sign up. Bio: Rose is a Northwest native
surrounded by alternative medicine throughout most of her life. Rose has
been involved with Reiki since 1999 and became a Reiki Master Teacher in
2001. Rose began working in the veterinary setting in 2004 and is
excited to now apply her Reiki and compassion in the holistic setting after
gaining many valuable technical skills in an allopathic practice. Rose
currently works at the Holistic Pet Clinic in Tigard. Adoption Outreach: Other Mothers Rescue, 6/24
and 7/1, 1 – 5 PM Award winning Rescue Other Mothers will bring bouncy kittens who want
their forever home! Other Mothers Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Inc., contributes toward
the welfare of animals and people in the community by providing care,
rehabilitation, and socialization of animals at a level that is not possible
at most conventional shelters. Other Mothers rescues dog and cat moms and
their litters from existing shelter facilities that are unable to provide for
them due to the lack of space, staff, and the time requirements of infant
care and recuperation from birthing. She seeks out qualified adoptive parents
and partners with them as needed throughout the animal’s lifetime in order to
ensure the best experience possible for both animal and owner. Events, Cont’d. page
2: Bio: Linda Carradine, the founder of Other Mothers, received the
Diamond Collar Hero Award in 2006, presented by the Oregon Humane Society. Linda is the founder of Other Mothers Animal Rescue and
Rehabilitation. After working as a
volunteer animal parent for more than ten years, Linda was determined to do
more for newly born animals that were too young or too vulnerable to thrive
in a shelter environment. The goal of Other Mothers is to care for these very
young animals until they are ready to be adopted. Evanger’s Tasting, with Lisa Sinay, 6/24, 1 – 5 PM Lisa Sinay is back with delicious gourmet pet
foods! Evanger’s canned pet foods are our customers’ favorites! Cooper’s Birthday Party! 6/24, 2 – 5 PM Cooper, Margie’s Golden Retriever, turns four years old on
the same day that PetUtopia celebrates its first anniversary! Join us for fun and fantastic gourmet food
for pets and people, too! We will celebrate with cake (two different flavors for pets and one for people!) Animal Massage, 6/24, 5:30 – 7 PM, with Rubi Sullivan, Certified Animal Massage Therapist, from
Heal Animal Massage Therapy, $25 Focused on preventative care, dog
massage is part of a holistic approach to your pet’s health care. Massage is
a gentle and non-invasive therapy that can relieve pain and stress. Whether
you have a companion pet, agility dog, show animal, or service dog, massage
is a great way to maintain your dog’s health and well-being, as well as
regular veterinary visits. After
a day of romping at the day care or dog park, massage can help reduce
stiffness and fatigue when they return home by increasing the circulation and
flushing waste products from the muscle tissues. Massage can help your dog
deal with the stress of boarding that they may experience while you’re away.
Or, for your older dog, massage may be just what the doctor ordered. They can
feel the effects of a good massage in their joints and immune system. Massage is also great for those 4
legged friends living with cancer. Register in advance at the store! There are only four
slots for this class. Our
customers rave about her massage classes!
“Oh My Dog!” How the Animals in My Life Transformed
Me, You probably read Deborah Wood’s pet column every Tuesday
in The Oregonian. She’s not only What you may not know is that Deborah spent three years
too sick to work after donating a kidney. She had no job and no prospects for
one. Then, in a four-month time period, she got two book
contracts and a column in one of the nation’s most respected newspapers.
Until that time, no one had paid her a penny to write anything. What changed her life? A dog named Goldie (or, as Deborah
describes her, “a fairy princess who came to earth in the cutest available
costume that day”). Without Goldie, there would be no column and no books. But Goldie isn’t the only dog who transformed Deborah’s
life. Two years ago, she put her dog, Pogo, on a sensible diet. Then she
looked down at her own plateful of spaghetti, and said out loud, “Deborah,
you are a hypocrite.” She decided to take the same good care of herself that
she gave to her dogs. Deborah went from a size 22 to a size 8 – and weighs
almost exactly half of what she once did. Come meet Deborah, and hear her talk about how the animals
in her life transformed her. It’s a time to learn about this woman – and
think about the animals that have transformed your life. Events, Cont’d. page
3: Bio: Deborah Wood has written the “Pet
Talk” column for The Oregonian for over nine years. She is the author of
eleven books, including Little Dogs: Training Your Pint-Sized Companion,
one of the most popular dog training books of all time. Her writing has won
many awards, including “Newspaper Person of the Year” from the Dog Writers
Association of America. She has trained dogs since she was 11 years old, and her
8-pound Papillon dogs regularly beat the big dogs
at obedience trials. Her dogs have earned many titles and work on hand
signals, find things by scent, and retrieve objects over obstacles. Her dog,
Pogo, is a certified therapy dog; Deborah and Pogo have done volunteer visits
for five years. Deborah had years of professional background in social
service work, and is the former executive director of Pet Nutrition Class, taught by Dr. Gaia
Mather, Naturopathic Physician, As a result of the recent pet food recalls, people are
confused about what is now safe to feed their pets. Dr. Gaia Mather,
Naturopathic Physician, presents a Pet Nutrition class that is going to help
you sort it all out. Bio: Dr. Gaia Mather is a native of Bonnie Hays Small Animal Shelter, 6/28, 11 am –
2 pm Susan Field, Public Affairs Officer for the Shelter, will join
us to let us know how the shelter makes a difference to pets and people of
Washington County, learn about volunteer opportunities, and pets waiting to
be adopted. The Washington County Animal
Services & Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter provides care and
protection for thousands of homeless, unwanted, abandoned and abused or
neglected dogs and cats. The
shelter provides services to an estimated 80,000 dogs and 90,000 cats and
their owners in A portion of every dollar you
spend at PetUtopia is donated to this shelter. Pet Photography, 6/30, 1 – 4 PM with
Tyler and Carl of MB Studios Join us for pet portraits! Stop
by the store and see the great portraits these guys have taken again &
again! Free sitting, a minimum of 6 poses, and a CD for $30. Bio: Their

highly successful photograph. Raw Food Seminar, 6/30, 5 – 6 PM, with Janice
Rizzo and Tracey Hatch from Rad Cat Raw Diet, and Becky White, from Holistic
Pet Vet Clinic, Tigard, Have questions about raw food for cats and dogs?
Please join us for our second raw food seminar. One of our customers reported

interesting and very informative.

informed about pet food!” Here’s
