Donating YT Addict | Bee is always cold, especially this time of year here where we live. So, I always put her blankie in the dryer to warm it for her, but I bet the microwave works so much better & I cant put her towel & sweaters in there too. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! Today, we had an issue UGH & while I was waiting for "HER" blankie & sweater to get out of the dyer so they were warm, I put her warmest sweater on(ITS UGLY BUT WARM) & wrapped her in her "second blankie" & we had to sit infront of the space heater for 30 minutes waiting for those. UGH, the dryer takes forever. THANKS

| I was worried about my little ones and the stairs. They loved to look through the posts of the bannister to see what was going on downstairs, particularly when they thought I would be coming in the front door or if I went downstairs to get something. I have two landings, and I was always worried with them. We were redoing our bannister and had asked to have additional posts so that they could be paced a little closer to each other. However, we were still worried about them falling through, so we had pieces of plexiglass cut that ran the entire length of both landings that we placed across the posts. The weight of the plexi allowed us to just place it there without having to screw it into the posts, and it worked great. It doesn't look bad, and it's high enough that they definitely can't fall through. They were able to see what was going on downstairs because the plexi is clear, so they didn't try to jump on the plexiglass. It gave us such peace of mind.

| When Fido doesn't wanna eat I act like I'm SOOO excited! (then he gets excited too) and then pour water over the food, and he eats it like a horse I use school scissors to cut the hair on the paws, tail, and I trim the mustache with it sometimes, it works fine When im putting a pony tail in Fido, I take something that is small, and long, and thin but hard, and stretch the hair a bit with it, then the ponytail doesn't hurt him.

| Still Learning... I am still learning, as my Tucker is only 14 months. But I wanted to say Thanks to all for the wonderful tips. I already know some that will be very helpful now, and lots for the future! Thanks to all! Carrie & Tucker |

| This one is for taking pills or medication. Instead of just trying to shove the pill in their throats like the vet does, I'll coat it in a tiny bit of butter or yogurt. They gobble it right up because they think it is a treat! I got the idea from reading about dog food companies and how they spray fat on otherwise unappealing kibbles. I do the same for syringe tips. It works like a charm and it's sooooo much cheaper than the pill pockets!! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm bumping this thread for our newbies, please add any favorite tips you have. My new favorite tip is to always have a bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide on hand. Label it with the amount needed to cause vomiting in your dog. When you are in a hurry, you might not be able to remember the amount you need. WARNING: You don't always want to cause vomiting, learn when you want to cause it and when you don't. You should never induce your pup to vomit, if it ate or drank corrosive substances, like gasoline that burn the throat. Also, solid objects, like a penny, could cause choking if you induce vomiting. Inducing vomiting is necessary if your dog ate something poisonous. Study the poisons list and try to keep all poisons away from your dog and please teach your dog the "Drop it" command. Quote:

| TIPs 1. a soft child's tooth brush is good for brushing around eyes. 2.Carry an extra leash, paper towels, wet wipes, bottle of water, a small blanket, in addition to your regular first aid kit in the car. 3.Have your Yorkie micro chipped. Keep that number, a recent picture of them, and a copy of their shot records, and who to call in case of an accident, in a zip lock bag in the car. This is so useful in an emergency. I have this in my glove box. 4. Put DOG INSIDE sign, by each door. Not only does this discourage burglars, it tells fire rescue, police etc that a pet is inside. 5. Best tip of all : When in doubt go to the Vet, better safe ,than too late.
