McLovin’s 4th Birthday!

Posted by Lanie in Lone Star's Stars of Service, Videos

PAWS AND EFFECT

By Rachel S. Peters Photos by Ralph Lauer

Maybe there is something to the healing power of a good dog:  Just ask his young fans at Ronald McDonald House.  

When he walks in the door, his hypoallergenic coat is perfectly coiffed and spritzed, and the faint scent of Bleu de Chanel wafts through the air. The ladies love him, but he commands attention from everyone wherever he goes. For Mac, the resident dog at Ronald McDonald House, it’s all in a day’s work.

Officially titled “Director of Love and Comfort,” the 4-year-old Australian Labradoodle (his full name is McLovin’) came to the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth in 2010. He offers a comforting paw to families and children dealing with the stress and complications of life-threatening illnesses.

Mac is not the first four-legged RMH staffer. Lone Star Labradoodles, based in The Woodlands, Texas, had provided  the Ronald McDonald Houses of Houston and Charleston, South Carolina, with a canine companion, and executives at the Fort Worth operation caught wind of the successful placement. Calls were placed and plans were made for RMHFW to adopt its own furry friend, but then tragedy struck the Lone Star Labradoodles group as the owner’s 19-year-old son passed away from cancer. In a touching gesture, they gave Mac to the Fort Worth house in his memory.

Mac has made Lone Star Labradoodles proud. Although not a registered therapy dog, he stays at the house five days a week during business hours and is often the first face new guests see when checking in. At night and on weekends, he lives with Alicia Jenkins, director of development for RMHFW but, during the workweek, he is ever the obedient servant to all house needs. Mac has no formal training. “It’s all to do with his disposition,” notes Alicia. “He knows his mission.”

One mission in particular has been to comfort 15-year-old Desiree Smith during her cancer treatment and remission. Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 13, the Abilene native has been a guest at the RMHFW since her first bone-marrow transplant two years ago. She loves Mac, and the feeling is mutual. Desiree’s mother, Rebecca Martinez, can see the difference Mac makes in her daughter. “He’s Desiree’s favorite thing about staying here,” she says, adding that it’s not uncommon to find the two snuggled up together in bed, with Mac placing a loving paw around Desiree.

Mac also searches out hugs and table scraps while he patrols the 58-room addition to the RMHFW. The much- needed wing officially opened in August of last year and, because of the extra space, the RMHFW can provide accommodations to any family regardless of where they live (previous Screen Shot 2014-01-25 at 12.57.34 PMrequirements dictated that families be outside a 40-mile radius) for as long as 90 days per visit. On any given day, the house is usually 85 to 90 percent full.

Alicia says the Ronald McDonald House will continue to expand and plans to add a new kitchen and dining room later in 2014. Mac will be there, ready for an impromptu tour or playdate. “When we go home, Mac acts like a typical dog and cuts loose,” says Alicia. “But, at the Ronald McDonald House, he’s focused and ready for action. He really is one of our hardest-working employees.”

The Greatest Grooming Tool for Your Labradoodle

Posted by Lanie in Grooming

THE RAKKE

One of the true joys of having a Labradoodle in your family is the coat.  Whether short or long, fleecy or curly, Labradoodles possess one of the most unique coats of all dogs.  Unlike most long-haired breeds, Labradoodles don’t require daily brushing, nor do they need weekly bathing.  In fact, I take my Matti to our groomer about once every 4-5 weeks for what I call a “bath and brushout.”  She loves a day of beauty at my favorite groomer, Paul D. in The Woodlands.

Recently Paul showed me his No. 1 tool he uses on his Labradoodle clients.  It’s called a “Rakke.”  Unlike brushes or combs that often pull hair out by the root (ouch!), this nifty device has a set of blades which cut the hairs at a lower level nearer the base of the hair.  Occasionally a Labradoodle gets matted not at the tips of the hair, but in the undercoat.  This is particularly common between eight and fourteen months of age, when the adult coat starts to grow through the puppy coat. The puppy coat needs to be stripped or raked out weekly until the change is complete.  But that’s no problem with the Rakke.  It cuts through the hair and rakes it out; and you simply back the tool up and a clump of hair discharges itself, voila!  It couldn’t be easier to use and I spend 2 to 3 minutes a week now on Matti with not a single yelp.  If only I could spend so little time on my own hair…

The Rakke costs as little as $10 online at Ryan’s Pet Supplies.  For Matti, I use the “Coarse/8 Blade” model, but there are several different variations with a range of numbers of blades from which to choose, depending on the thickness of your Labradoodle’s hair.

Jack Nicklaus and Lone Star’s Bunker Appear in Commercial

Posted by Lanie in Lone Star News

North Palm Beach, Florida – Most people know Jack Nicklaus as the Golden Bear of golf. He’s been named Golfer of the Century and Golfer of the Millennium, as well as Individual Male Athlete of the 20th Century by Sports Illustrated and was decorated with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom—impressive accolades for any sports icon. Even beyond the game of golf, his name is synonymous with excellence.

What most people don’t know about Jack is that he and his family are dog lovers. Dogs have always played a huge role in their family’s life, and they’re careful about who they trust with their pet’s care. VetIQ is proud that VetGuard Plus is their preferred product for flea and tick control.

This spring, VetIQ met with Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, as well as their dog, Bunker (sand-trap golf pun intended). We wanted to learn more about them—up close and personal—and see why they endorse our product. They graciously invited VetIQ to visit them at their North Palm Beach home in South Florida.

Soon into the visit, it became apparent that Bunker is part of the family—an important part. The Nicklaus family loves him and takes extra special care of him. Bunker is the offspring of Lone Star Labradoodles’ Romo and Abbie. From the start, dog and family have bonded. Bunker is very affectionate and will wave his paw “goodbye” to departing visitors.

Before Bunker, there was Cali, a beautiful Golden Retriever from the same kennel that produced former President Ford’s Golden and one of several the Nicklauses have had through the years. She would bark six times when asked, “How many Masters Tournaments has Jack won?” Smart girl! She was exactly right.

The strong relationship between pet and “parent” is evident. Naturally, VetIQ asked the Nicklauses why they decided to recommend our product. Jack reports that before endorsing VetGuard Plus, he consulted with Bunker’s veterinarian, Dr. Laura Grigsby, who then carefully reviewed the ingredients. The resulting flea and tick control has been successful. Because of the quality results and cost-effective price, VetGuard Plus is a product Jack Nicklaus recommends consumers consider.
