Animal Lover Fun at PetsLady.com

Thanks to Pinterest and BlogPaws, I recently discovered PetsLady.com and I'm glad I did.  Among other things, I'm pretty sure I need a set of puppy dog corn on the cob holders, but more about that in a moment!

PetsLady.com is a fun and informative website for animal lovers.  A team of folks focus on providing the latest news and interesting articles about pets, including unbiased reviews and recommendations on everything you need for your pets.  They also feature cool, unique gift ideas for animal lovers.

The main sections of the PetsLady.com web site are:

• Latest Animal News and Stories
• Fun Stories for Animal Lovers
• Pet Care - Tips and Information
• Great Pet Products
• Cool Stuff To Buy Animal Lovers

PetsLady.com is an easy to navigate site that is simply chock full of information.  Begin exploring and you'll find it hard to stop.   On a recent visit I learned about Barn Owls inhabiting the Smithsonian, enjoyed seeing the rare site of a pair of white deer, cheered about the legislative ban of private possession of exotic animals in Pennsylvania, and smiled a lot at beautiful animal photographs, as well as good pet advocacy news.

I also added quite a few things to my personal shopping list.

Here's where those puppy dog corn on the cob holders come in.  You see, I couldn't help myself from click, click, clicking to read more in this treasure trove of fun and funny gift ideas for pet lovers and barking good dog (and cat) products.  I'm thinking I might need to follow up on the toaster that adds paw prints, too.

PetsLady.com obviously scours the web for the best.  They then tell you all about it and where you can go to purchase it.   Dog and cat beds, wormers, toys, and so much more.   I took one look at the Go-Go Dog Pal and now am trying to convince the Dog Daddy that we need one for Rudy.  [It's remote-controlled chipmunk on wheels for a dog to chase at up to 35 miles per hour.]

Fetch PetsLady.com right now, bookmark it, then take some time to explore and enjoy.  You'll also find a pretty fabulous feature article about my For Love of a Dog Jewelry which came as a complete surprise to me!

Talking Dogs Blog Featured on Pocketchange

Now, this is fun!  Talking Dogs was featured on Pocketchange Best of the Web! 

I have to confess that until I was contacted by Chrissy at Pocketchange, I'd never heard of it.  It's a part of become.com and, as I can attest, you can spend hours surfing topics of interest.  My favorite (of course) are their Beloved Pets blog posts.    Great place to check out new pet products, tips and news.

Hot Weather Can Be Deadly to Animals

Here in the Ozarks it is hot!  With temps in the 90's and the heat index over 100, it is incredibly dangerous for critters.  Lucy, Jeffie and I spend most afternoons being thankful for air conditioning in our house.  We don't get to go for many car rides in the summer and our people keep a close eye on us, especially on me and Lucy due to our age. 

What can you do to make sure your critters stay safe, healthy and comfortable?  The good folks at the Humane Society of Missouri have some barking good tips:

•Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car. The temperature in a car can exceed 100 degrees in minutes. It is inhumane, illegal and can cause severe injury or even death within minutes.


•Be certain outdoor pets have access to fresh, clean water at all times.

•Secure plastic water bowls, never metal, to the ground so your pet can't accidentally tip them over. You can dig a small round hole and place the water bowls inside.


•Ensure that your pet has access to shade at all times of the day. Your dog might be in the shade when you leave for work, but the sunlight moves throughout the day. Don't allow your pet to be stranded in the scorching sun.


•If you run or jog with your dog, take frequent water breaks for yourself and your dog. Remember that asphalt and concrete get hot quickly. You have rubber soles on your feet--your dog does not. On hot days, leave your dog at home.


•Do not bicycle or rollerblade with a pet. Heat stroke and possible death can occur very quickly, particularly in hot weather.

•When the weather is dangerously hot, keep pets inside.


•If your pet is showing signs of heat exhaustion (excessive panting, vomiting, lethargic behavior), right away begin applying cold water to your pet's extremities. See your veterinarian immediately!


•During the summer, mosquitoes are prevalent. Make sure your pet is tested by a veterinarian for heartworm disease (a mosquito-transmitted, often fatal disease) and begin heartworm prevention medication.

If you spot an animal in heat related danger, be a good soul and report it to your local or state Humane Society.  Here in Missouri you can call (314) 647-4400.

Stay Safe and stay cool...
