The Heat

It's getting hot over here in Texas and it's only spring! So I chilled Peanut off with some dog bone-shaped ice cubes. Me and Peanut are moving so I don't know how to handle the heat better than this! It's hitting the 90's (degrees) and It's killing us! This calls for some major grooming, but not a shave(it will only make him hotter-temperature wise). I wish it were winter again! Anybody selling things to beat the heat for dogs?

Shedding Season

Well, every season is shedding season for Peanut, but it's going crazy right now. The solution was to buy the Furminator and the Kong Zoom Groom. Who wants to have fur everywhere? Not me. And all the good grooming shines his coat. If you would like to buy a Furminator and/or a Kong Zoom Groom online then here's the link!

Furminator: http://www.amazon.com/FURminator-Long-Hair-deShedding-Large/dp/B0040QQ07C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1303063731&sr=8-2

Kong Zoom Groom: http://www.amazon.com/KONG-ZoomGroom-Dog-Grooming-Boysenberry/dp/B0002AR19Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1303063913&sr=1-1

You can also buy them at a pet supplies store. When you're using the Furminator, make sure the skin is not wrinkled because the brush is a blade and can cut. If the blade chips then throw it away! And last of all, make sure not to groom in the same spot over and over and over again because you may remove too much hair or irritate their skin. If you irritate their skin then put 'em in the bath and wash with dog oatmeal shampoo/conditioner. If you buy the Zoom Groom then buy another one when the comb bristles are running low(the comb is like an eraser).

Now your canine won't drive you crazy. It's either a groom or fur in your food ;)
