Do Not Leave Your Dog In The Car Unattended !

Do not leave your dog in the car unattended.....
Why?
Many reasons why......
The dog could get stolen....no does not matter if your vehicle is locked or not.
Thieves always finds a way
Your dog could die of heat stroke if it is hot or even mildly warm outside. Windows open or not.
Your dog could freeze to death if its too cold outside.
If there is a natural disaster/emergency there is no way for your dog to get out.
Your dog could tear up and wreck your car's interior. 
Could get ticketed. It is illegal in some places to leave your pet in the car unattended. 
Your car window could get bashed out from a concerned animal lover, policeman, etc. if your dog looks even the slightest bit of in distress.
If your pet is lonely from being left at home why leave them alone in the car while you do your shopping for minutes, hours or whatever. Kind of hypocritical....just saying....
Have a wonderful day ^_^

Pet Fur/Hair Everywhere!

Furniture
  • Remove pet hair from upholstery and fabric with dampened rubber gloves by running your hand over the surface to attract hair. Simply rinse off the glove when it’s covered with hair and repeat as needed. If you don't have rubber gloves handy, try a slightly wet sponge instead. I like this method because it doesn’t use up lots of tape needlessly.
  • Or, lightly spray a mix of water and fabric softener onto your upholstered furniture, then wipe off.
  • To remove pet hair from wooden furniture, use a soft cloth and furniture polish or anti-static dusting spray. The spray will eliminate the electric charge, making removal easier and lessening the likelihood that the hair will re-stick.

Floors
  • For carpet, scrape a pumice stone gently along the surface. Any hair will gather right up (plus your carpet won’t suffer from rough, dry skin this winter). I’ve also used a FURminator on my rugs, which, when used lightly, scrapes up the hair, but doesn’t damage the carpet.
  • When vacuuming your carpet, go over areas twice and alternate directions to loosen stubborn hairs.
  • On hardwood, laminate or other bare floors, use an electrostatic or microfiber dry mop; vacuums tend to blow hair around versus corral it in one spot.

Clothes
  • Keep one of those lint rollers right beside your door, for a quick hair removal session before you leave to meet friends or go to work.
  • For larger quantities of hair, try throwing your clothes in the dryer, along with a dryer sheet for 10 minutes. Or, use a dryer ball for a chemical free solution. The movement and softener loosens hair, which winds up in the lint trap. Adding liquid water softener to the washer helps too.

Pets Themselves
  • Brushing (or better yet, FURminating) about two days a week dramatically cuts down on the amount of fur tumbleweeds rolling through your living room.
  • And then, I’ve never tried this, but I’ve heard that putting a stocking or thin sock over the vacuum hose, and then vacuuming your dog or cat does wonders.

Prevent Animal Cruelty....Just Do It





Sometimes you have to repeat yourself to get a point across....spread the word....even if you have to repeat it over and over again....even if only one person hears you......give a voice to the animals.
