RE: Why Do Dogs Scoot Their Bottoms Across the Floor?
I have a T-cup chihuahua and she does this, too. We had her anal glands checked by the vet and everything was ok there. The answer? She has allergies. We have a lot of different weeds around our area and since she's so low to the ground, she gets itchy. When it kicks up really bad, I start her on her vet prescribed allergy medication. She not only scoots her butt, she scratches her ears, etc. It's not fleas since she's also on vet prescribed flea drops, the once a month on the neck kind. ... View related article.

RE: Product Review: PediPaws
Like everyone has said; don't waste your money. I've got one and it's just sitting on a shelf. My dog doesn't like the noise and from what I understand, it heats up quickly from friction. You can only do each nail for just a few seconds because the dogs feel the heat on their nails. ... View related article.

RE: Smoke Odors in My Apartment from Neighbors
Umm, I would go to the people and try talking to them and if that doesn't work then go to management. The world is not their ashtray. Not only are they polluting the air that you breathe, they are throwing their cigarette butts all over the place. You have rights to a clean environment. ... View related article.

RE: Home Remedy for Dry Feet
Vicks Vapo rub! Sounds strange I know, but it works. You can even get a generic and use it. I think it's the eucalyptus oil in it that does it. I've used it for years. Just apply all over the feet and put on a pair of white socks. My husband even uses it and trust me, he won't even take aspirin when he has a headache. ... View related article.

RE: Removing a Ring That Is Stuck On Your Finger
Hi! I had to have minor surgery two weeks ago and the very wise RN used just a spritz of Windex on my ring finger and my rings slid right off. The more you tug and twist, the more your finger swells. ... View related article.

RE: Do Mothballs Work as a Snake Repellent?
No! I thought I would "cheap out" and try it. I walked outside only to find a huge black snake slithering right over the mothballs. Snake-a-way is expensive but it works. Yes, it smells just like mothballs, but it must have other stuff combined with the napthalene (mothballs) that makes it work. I've never tried sulphur so I can't speak for that. When I was growing up my Mom put lime around the gardens because we had a lot of garter snakes where we lived. Just so you know, I live in FL, so this is snake territory and I am terrified of them. If I never see another one as long as I live I would be very happy. ... View related article.

RE: Rocky (Boxer)
Beautiful boxer! My folks always had boxers and three of my married siblings now all have boxers all of whom came from boxer rescue. I love when boxers have the cropped ears - I'm not a fan of the floppy ear look. ... View related article.

RE: Getting Rid of Garter Snakes
Hello, I live in FL., and we have lots of snakes here. I have a fear of them also so I understand where you're coming from. It doesn't help when people tell you to get over your phobia. Snakes, spiders, fear of the dark, and thunder and lightning are the 4 biggest fears. My Dr. told me so.
Anyway, you can buy a product called "snake-a-way". You sprinkle it around the area where you've seen them. For whatever reason they don't like the stuff and will leave. It smells just like mothballs, but it must have something more in it. I tried the mothball thing and walked outside only to find this huge black snake slithering right over the mothballs!
Once again, don't let anybody tell you to "get over it". I myself can't wait until I can move from FL. Wherever I go, it's going to be a condo with no yards to take care of. ... View related article.

RE: Instructions for Making a Granny Square
Hi! Go to www.crochetcabana.com It's a great site to learn crochet from. I learned to make a granny square from their instructions and now I'm on my 3rd baby blanket! No, you don't have to become a member or anything like that. They also encourage you to print off the instructions that they give you. The instructions are very clear and concise, they also have pictures. ... View related article.
