I’m really sorry about my lack of updates over the past few months – things have been a little hectic to say the least, but anywhoo – I’m back. So welcome to 2012 – hope it’s a good year for all our readers – and especially your dogs.

Over the holidays I stayed with my Dad and his wife. And they live with two lovely dogs – a whippet and a greyhound. However, lovely as they are, they were always jumping up and getting their light hair all over my new dark clothes. As much as I love the dogs, this was infuriating – so I’ve come up with something to help anyone with a similar problem.

I’m sure lots of you will ask this question every now and again…

how do i stop my dog shedding hair?

On Amazon, there is a fantastic dog shedding tool called the furminator. It comes with maximum ratings in the customer reviews – in fact, out of the thousands of dog products featured on Amazon, it comes the highest.

How does this dog hair shedding tool work?

How to sponsor a guide dog for the blind

I’ve recently seen a few adverts that have caught my eye about guide dogs for the blind. I’m sure all of you know how important these amazing dogs are.
For blind people, guide dogs are probably the most important things in the world, offering help, guidance and a companionship that most people are unable to provide. I’m writing this post to show just how easy (and inexpensive) it is to sponsor a guide dog and help with it’s training from the day they are born.

Guide dog training
Once a potential guide dog is grown up and trained, they return to the guide dog school to be evaluated. They are then evaluated on many qualities and assessed as to whether they’d make a good guide dog. This is very important as it shows whether a dog has the intelligence, temperament and health to be a guide dog for the blind.

Guide dogs for the blind enjoy their work, however there is no time during the working day for a typical dog’s idea of fun. If you see a guide dog whilst working (wearing a distinctive harness) try not to pet or offer a treat as it can be awfully distracting. However, when a guide dog isn’t working, they enjoy playing and treats just like any normal dog. The fact that they can distinguish between work and play time just shows how intelligent these dogs really are.
