Stylin dogs

I am a junkie for the newest toys and collars for my crew. Last year I was told about these collars and to check out the website- i fell in love. I ordered my first Blocky Dog set of collars for my Rion and Rugby. I retire my dogs collars once they pass (like a hockey hero only the fuzzy kind) so had to retire Rion's when I lost him in April. I love my dogs to match, so I got my second round of collars this spring for Rugby and Kona.

Blocky Dog collars are the most durable, functional, and stylish collars I have ever owned. You custom design each one, and there are tonnes of combinations to match the personality of your faithful buddy. I have no benefits of mentioning these collars (no kick backs) I am just sharing with you a collar that will last the life of your dog. I can't say enough about how they hold up to the mud, rain, and heavy play sessions between my 2. Rebecca and the Blocky Dog crew deliver a quality product that is worth every last penny.

Above are my two sporting their stylish collars, and my baby Rion before I had to sadly retire it.

FYI~I have another set of custom leashes on the way too (I'm pathetic I know).

TID BITS

Bloat

When doing any physical activity with your dog be very conscious of running them with a full stomach of water or food. I like to make sure that if my guys are going for a big run or swim they have an empty stomach or have eaten at least 2-3 hours prior. Likewise for post workout, I wait until they are done panting heavily until they are fed a large meal.

This helps reduce the risk of gastric torsion or bloat.

This is the twisting of the stomach and then obstruction occurs, usually by the the time symptoms are present the chance of survival of your pup is greatly reduced.

Watch for symptoms of standing or moving with caution, difficulty breathing, trying to vomit, and the tell tale sign of a distended abdomen. Take your dog to the vet immediately!

Mad Mexican Racoons

Last week I went to the Mayan Riviera for a relaxing vacation. Mexico has variations of animals that are common to Canada, one of which is the raccoon. Their raccoons are not fat like ours, and tend to be more brownish in colour.

While on a walk one day I see this Mexican raccoon that is not shying away from people- me the animal lover decides to go befriend it.

So I pick up a leaf to try and trick it into thinking it is food. The sweet little thing comes up to me all shy and sniffs the "treat" it was getting. Well the raccoons in Mexico have hot little tamale tempers cause once it found out that it was a leaf I had, and not a treat, fuzzy sweet raccoon got cranky. It pulled its head back, snarled its little lip, and bitch slapped me with its evil claw as if to say "how dare you tourist try to feed me a leaf!".

Off it went into the bush and i was left rubbing my hand where I got shamed by Mad Mexican Raccoon.
