Gel-Pedic beds are made from a new patented material called GelFoam, which molds to the contour of your pets hips and joints relieving pressure that can cause pain and discomfort. It provides superior comfort for pets of all ages, especially those ailing or suffering from arthritic conditions. The properties of the Gel-Pedic pet bed work in accordance with the laws of thermal equilibrium: two objects will strive to reach thermal equilibrium by transferring heat until both objects have attained the same temperature. The more dense an object is, the faster the heat transfer will occur.

Hot weather is miserable for those among us not covered with heavy fur coats, but can be doubly troubling for our four-footed companions, especially because they lack the thumbs to crack open a cold beverage.
Because animal companions depend on their humans for help, those humans have to keep track of the warning signs and make sure that dogs and cats and other animals have plenty of shade and water during the hottest parts of the day.

There are no hard and fast rules to maintain your dog’s health but essentially it comes down to 3 main rules you need to follow:
1. A good diet 2. Plenty of fresh water 3. Exercise
A good diet is essential to your dog’s health. Be careful of what you feed your dog! Your dog has very little sense about what’s good and what’s bad for him to eat. So you have to take charge. An all natural dog food is what you should be looking for, try to avoid reconstituted foods that are packed with fillers and by-products. Remember you get what you pay for.

We have a wonderful gentle natured dog that I adopted about 8 years ago. Unfortunately she was a bit neglected and was very timid when I brought her home. She had previously belonged to someone who lived nearby and I had spent the last few months making sure she had food and fresh water so we were already well acquainted.
Meisha is her name and I would say she is a cross between a collie and a husky. She is a beautiful mix of grays and white with a little black mixed in. Up until a couple summers ago I had always taken her in to be groomed and trimmed, but I had forgotten to make an appointment for her one time and the next thing I knew her groomer was booked up for the next couple of months.

Most dog owners will notice any sudden or odd changes in their dogs normal behaviour but it is useful to know the specific symptoms to watch out for.
If you dog shows symptoms of excessive drinking, sudden loss of appetite, continual vomiting or diarrhoea, or unusual lethargy then these should be obvious enough to raise your concern.
Discharge from the eyes or inflamed eyes, a shallow or rapid breathing pattern or perhaps persistent coughing can all be signs of something serious.
Typically when a dog is sick or ill they will show a raised temperature, indicated by a hot, dry nose. If your dog has a high temperature or even a very low temperature you should seek professional advice from your veterinarian.

We all love our dogs and would do anything to help them and to ensure their short time with us is enjoyable. Look at my two dogs, Sheba and Cassie, in the photographs, at their loving eyes and we know that they will do anything for us.
Unfortunately, Sheba is no longer with us, and is in ‘doggie heaven’ but we still remember her and her ways. Cassie, although of the same breed, has a totally different character, as I am sure you know and appreciate, if you have had more than one dog.
