| Custom pet warming/cooling comfort pads I am so excited!! I have come a long way from a year ago. Last year at this time, I didn't even know how to use Paypal! (You guys have corrupted me.) Now I have an online store at Etsy. I use it mostly to showcase my mosaic artwork, but I have started selling a few other items as well. One of those is what I am offering to all of you on YT. I will gladly do custom orders upon request. Send me a pm, and we will work out the details. Puppy Comfort Pads for $17 each (including shipping and Paypal fees) or two for $25. (NOTE: These sell for $12 each PLUS $10 shipping ($22 total) in my Etsy store.) ********This special price will ONLY be available to YT members for the month of April*********** Puppy Comfort Pad The Puppy Comfort Pad is an eco-friendly, re-usable pad that may be used as a heating pad for minor aches and pains or to keep newborn puppies warm. It may also be used in place of ice (less mess) as a cold pack for first aid use or in extremely high temperatures. This item comes in two pieces. The inner pad may NOT be washed, so always use this item with the outer pillow case over it. Wash the outer pillow case if necessary, but not the pad itself. Description/ materials: This pad is made of an inner layer of 100% cotton that is divided into compartments or “pockets” to keep the rice from shifting too far. Inside this layer is mostly rice with a touch of dried lavender to help calm and soothe. This compartmentalized center core is then sewn into another pocket of fabric. This makes the actual puppy comfort pad. This pad may NOT be washed. This comfort pad is inside a pillow case made of fleece. This fleece pillow case may be washed if necessary using cold water (no bleach) and tumbled dry. Storage: Since it takes longer to cool down a comfort pad than to heat it up, it is best to keep the pad inside of a plastic Ziplock-type bag in the freezer. If you need an instant ice pack, it will be available and ready to use. To heat it, put it in the microwave for approximately 2 minutes. This heating time will vary depending upon your microwave, so check the temperature carefully. These pads can stay warm for up to an hour, but might need to be re-warmed sooner. Be very careful to check the temperature before using with infant or newborn puppies. While this is much safer than using an electric heating pad, puppies might be burned by pads that are too hot. This is a sample photo. Your item will be custom made in the fabric of your choice. See the available fabrics in the photo collection. Please allow three days (not including shipping). This puppy comfort pad is approximately 8 x 12”.

| This is a wonderful idea and I wish you all the luck. A wonderful member on here sent me something similar when my Paisley was spayed and wasn't feeling well. She loved it and now when its cold we use it all the time. My babies really love how toasty it keeps them. Just last night I used it myself because my back was killing me. Anyone that buys one of these from you will be very happy. I may just have to get another. Good Luck to you!!

| Great!!! How long will it stay cool? I have been looking for something for Toto. We have to go to a wedding on the beach in Pensacola in August and I'm worried about Toto getting too hot. Also, how do we order? Thanks!

| I'm not sure how long it stays cool. I have to test it, but I would think at least an hour. That's one reason I am running a special on two. You can use one and re-freeze the other. If you want to order, just send me a private message. I will take Paypal or money orders. If you want to pay by Paypal, I can send you an invoice. In the pm, also let me know which fleece fabric you are interested in. Are you planning to put this in a special place like a car seat? If the size isn't that different, I can custom make it to your measurements. Just let me know. Thanks! Judy

| Good Luck, Judy on your online store. I took a look and I love the mosaic that you describe as a waterfall. That is so....neat. I'm going to have to think about that, maybe as a Birthday gift to myself in May. Does the frame come in any other colors?

| Everyone has been so nice. Thank you all! Update: I am out of the Winnie the Pooh fleece and the yellow fleece. They are also coming out a little bigger than I intended. The ones I am working on now are about 12 x 12. I think that will be the standard size if you don't make a special request. I can also make the outer pillowcase out of flannel, but I think the fleece will be more comfortable for your furbaby. I may not be able to check back in until after work this evening, but I will answer any questions then. Please be the wonderfully patient YTers you are!
