Old Photos // New Post

Yes, these are some old photos I came across and had a little laugh over. I hope you all enjoy them!

Breeze'n along in the car. :)

This one so needs a caption... Let's see...

Hey you with the stick, bring it over here next time.

This had to be, at least, two years ago when Muzzy was just small enough to fit into my brother, Charlie's hood. Can you say, "adorable?"

Aw, this was before we found out I am allergic to kitty cats. Our old cat Avery loved to find his way into tight spaces and this was where we found him one day. 

For one of my birthdays a few years ago, some friends made my one of those "lazy Suzanne" hats. As you can see from the photo, it had the Muzzy seal of approval. :)

Do you have funny pet photos to share? Send them in to doggydannas@charter.net and your pet may one day be featured on the blog.

I call it the diamond back design and there is only one available.

Speaking of diamond backs...

Although winter is the time for our cold-blooded friends and foes to be asleep in their little homes, you should not just let your put be poking around snake holes. Be sure and keep your dogs safe. Let them roam, but make sure you can see them at all times. 

Keep warm cowdogs!

Winter Pet Tips by the ASPCA

Brrrrrrr...

Yes it is getting cold outside and hopefully you are making every effort to keep fido safe and comfortable in the winter weather. Contrary to popular belief, pets need to be taken care of just like we humans do. Sheltered or indoor pets do not have a lot of the adaptations and "survival training" their ancestors did. 

So, without further ado, here are a few guidelines from the ASPCA to keeping your pups safe and warm this December. 

• Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm. Dogs frequently lose their scent in snow and ice and easily become lost. They may panic in a snowstorm and run away. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season.
• Thoroughly wipe off your dog’s legs and stomach when she comes in out of the rain, snow or ice. Check her sensitive paw pads, which may bleed from snow or ice encrusted in them. Also, salt, antifreeze or other chemicals could hurt your dog if she ingests them while licking her paws. "I'd love to add here that this is extremely important! My family once had a kitten who mistakenly licked up some anti-freeze. A few days later she was not feeling well and had to take her to the pet hospical where she died. This is absolutely vital so pay attention!" -Andra
• If you own a short-haired breed, consider getting a warm coat or sweater for your dog. Look for one with a high collar or turtleneck that covers your dog from the base of her tail on top and to the belly underneath. While this may seem like a luxury, it is a necessity for many dogs.
• If you own a short-haired breed, consider getting a warm coat or sweater for your dog. Look for one with a high collar or turtleneck that covers your dog from the base of her tail on top and to the belly underneath. While this may seem like a luxury, it is a necessity for many dogs.
• Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather. A car can act as a refrigerator in the winter, holding in the cold. Your companion animal could freeze to death.
• Puppies do not tolerate the cold as well as adult dogs and may be difficult to housebreak during the winter. If necessary, paper train your puppy inside if he appears to be sensitive to the weather.
• Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter. Leave the coat in a longer style, which provides more warmth. Remember that such a style will require more frequent brushing due to dry winter air and static electricity. When you bathe your dog, make sure she is completely dry before you take her out for a walk.
• Make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep far away from all drafts and off the floor, such as in a dog or cat bed or basket with a warm blanket or pillow in it.

Keep everyone in your family safe this winter, including your pet pals. 

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving Print

Alright, I recently found this fabric and LOVE it, but I would like to know what you think.

Some of my favorite fabrics have this doodling design (like this one) and it always seems that I gravitate toward these "cute-sy" patterns. Now, I want ya'll's take on it. 

Absolutely Adorable? or No Way?
