The cold and hard ground, particularly when snow or ice is present can cause your pet's paws to become sore and cracked; sometimes, it can even cause their paws to bleed. There are several things you can do to help protect your pet's paws. Oftentimes, the best option is to purchase puppy boots. These boots are made of water-resistant fabric on the exterior, and they usually have warm material such as fleece or flannel lining on the inside. They usually sport elastic cuffs around the top and Velcro underneath to ensure they stay on.

If your pet does not take to wearing booties, there is another option: grooming your pet's paws. When it is particularly snowy outside, the ice and snow can easily cling to the hair between your pet's paws and on their and 'ankles'. Simply trim the hair to keep it short, this way they snow and ice will have nothing to hold on to. Also, keep your pet's toenails trimmed short (but not too short). This can help prevent your pup's paws from soreness. Finally, gently rub petroleum jelly on your puppy's paw pads before and after they go outside. Doing this protects their paws from cracking and bleeding by providing a film of protective gel over the paws.

Winter nights are cold, especially if you like to keep your house somewhat cool, even in the winter season. Secondly, to help your pup remain warm and comfy at night, there are a few things you may want to consider. If your pet does not have a doggie bed, you may want to get one for your pooch this holiday season. are built so your pet can snuggle warmly at night in their bed. You can also buy your pet a throw or a . When you put your dog to bed at night, simply toss the blanket or throw over their body, and it will help keep them warm.

Another option to purchase puppy pajamas. It may sound silly, but flannel pajamas for dog's can really help keep them insulated and warm. Also, if your dog tends to shed, this is a great option, because it contains the shed hair within the garment until you wash it. This is great because then you won't have pet hair all over your couch, on your bed, or other warm places in your house that you don't want covered in pet hair.

Help keep your pet warm and protected from the winter elements this holiday season. Consider purchasing winter wear such as water-resistant booties, puppy pajamas, or even a coat or jacket. A doggie bed and pet throw or blanket can also go a long way. Remember, investing in your pet's comfort is investing in your pet's happiness. It is well worth the cost! http://www.dog-fence.org ]]> Think You're Too Old For A Platform Bed? http://www.artwoo.com/article/think-youre-too-old-for-a-platform-bed http://www.artwoo.com/article/think-youre-too-old-for-a-platform-bed#comments Mon, 01 Jan 2007 06:27:16 +0000 platform bedssized bedsplatform bedceiling heightconversation piecesyoung at heartwonderful way http://www.artwoo.com/article/think-youre-too-old-for-a-platform-bed platform bed is a to dress up a room. There is something about sitting up high that makes you feel important, special and yes, even princess like (although the men are not likely to admit to that!) Yet, these types of beds don't have to be something that you dread. They can be a lot of fun and they can be interesting too! If you think that are something for the young, think again. They make the perfect bed for anyone that's and enjoys the look and feel of them.

A platform bed is really a bed that is elevated higher off the ground than other beds are. Those that enjoy these beds are often looking at the historical, decorative and comfort features that they can offer. Most will enjoy the fact that these beds do provide them with good support and make for when you enter the room. Although platform style beds have been around for a long time, it hasn't been until recently that they are making a comeback, and people are falling in love with them all over again.

What To Consider

When you are considering purchasing a bed like this, there are several things that you should take into consideration about them and your own condition before doing so.

Size. Not only are most platform beds higher off the ground, but many are larger as well. If you need a particular size, look for it or have one custom made. You should of course also take into consideration your as you'll need to be comfortable with that distance.

Structure. One of the most important considerations of a platform bed is the structure of it. It needs to be safe for you to climb up on and to enjoy. You should look at the locations that it is put together, such as the joints. Are they glued? Are they nailed together? Or, the best yet is when they are dove-tailed.

Comfort. While these beds look great, they may not be comfortable for you to climb up on. As people age, things like climbing get to be difficult. If you are physically fit, which both of you should be, then getting into a bed like this won't be too hard. Otherwise, consider adding steps (something you may want to do anyway) to the side of the bed to make it easier.

You may also want to take into consideration the look that you are after. Purchasing a bed like this for use in a home that is colonial in design, for example would mean that you would want those design features to come through. Beyond anything else, you should enjoy the platform bed that you select including what it is made from.

You'll be able to find many different types and styles of platform beds on the market today. If you don't find what you are looking for, though, make sure to have it custom made. This way, it fills all of your needs correctly.

Many times, they can be the solution to having enough room in your home for movement, for playing and just for comfort. If you try to lay two single beds next to each other, they will take up a considerable amount of space. On the other hand, if you install bunk beds into the room, you can transform the room into a space saving fun room that virtually every child will love.

How Do Bunk Beds Fit?

There are several ways that bunk beds can be laid out. Each of them has their own, unique set up and they can be changed to fit your needs. Most commonly, bunk beds lay one on top of the other going in the same direction. But, in more modern , you can change that to include one bunk bed running horizontally and the other running vertical in the room. This is really a decision based on the space that you have as well as the needs that you have. You may choose one style or function over the other just because, too!

But, when you do install bunk beds, you free up half of the space that you would have had to use if you were to lay two beds side by side in a room. That gives you additional space for dressers, and plenty of other things that need to be in the area, including open space. Because bunk beds can be built with extra storage in them as well, they can often give you additional space to enjoy. One very unique situation is using bunk beds that are facing opposite directions to allow for space on either side of the for a desk, allowing each of your children a for homework.

Is It Really Safe?

One of the most worrisome conditions of a bunk bed to a parent is if their child will fall out. After all, they are at a much higher point in the room then they would have been if they were laid side by side. But, it is also quite important to realize that bunk beds can have railings and sides to help prevent a small child from falling. Most children that get older don't role off their bed, just as you don't role off your own while you are sleeping. Still, for smaller children, purchasing a bed system that has these extra railings can be quite important.

One of the best ways to see if you will enjoy the space that a bunk bed can give you is to rearrange the room using only one single bed and seeing the difference. You may find that they are easy to use in this way and that they are ideally positioned to give you a room with lots and lots of fun in it!

But this can be difficult to adhere to for those among us. Let's face it, a tan makes us feel healthier, younger...even thinner! This is a temptation that can be hard to ignore. And, so, in many cases, in lieu of the beach or pool, we will flock to s. Tanning beds are popular year round -- while peaking in popularity in the winter. And while there are those tanning bed users who understand the beds, there are those who still think that they are cheating the dangers of the sun by choosing a tanning bed instead.

In truth, the harmful effects of tanning beds are just the same as the sun. Consequently, like the sun, tanning beds should be approached cautiously. First and foremost, fair-skinned people should avoid tanning beds -- and the sun -- at all costs. Even if you have darker skin, exposure should be limited. If you find that you just can't stay away, keep exposure time to a minimum and try to visit only periodically. Intense and prolonged exposure -- while increasing dangers -- also has the unsightly ability to make users look a little "too tan."

But more importantly, the harmful effects of tanning beds include the burning and aging of skin; prolonged exposure can even result in skin cancer. Tanning beds give off UV rays that are just as dangerous as the sun. If you find it necessary to visit a tanning bed then offer your skin just a little bit of covering with protective lotions designed for your skin type. Always be sure to protect your eyes, as well, with special glasses. Most include eye protection with your visit.

Tanning is a risk that each one of us must decide upon for ourselves. If you must tan, do it responsibly to minimize the harmful effects of tanning beds on your skin.

Remember when you were little how exciting it was to climb onto the top bunk in your friend's bedroom? Only to wonder why you didn't have a similar set-up?

The first sight of a set of to a child is the equivalent of seeing a roomful of wrapped presents on Christmas Day. It's a place to play, and a space to call their own. Because of the popularity of bunk beds, with demand comes variety. Yes, bunk beds now have themes. Want a castle for your little kings or a dollhouse for your little princess? Of course, traditional styles and themes are still .

Besides the obvious attention factor, bunk beds do serve a purpose. With space in most households at a premium, being able to put one bed on top of another is simple genius. Drawers on the bottom add functionality and a place to store kids' valuables. How about a separate drawer for each kid? What doesn't make a kid feel more important than a small box that he or she "owns". Talk about the ultimate in conservation. Two beds stacked on top of one another, and a toy chest underneath them both. Can't get that race track set laid out on the floor because there isn't enough space? Now you know how.

How fun are bunk beds? Just ask a kid, even a kid who doesn't have any. Just hang a sheet, or curtain over the and you have an instant fort, instant solitude, cut-off from the outside world, alone, with just your thoughts as a kid.

Since many bunk beds are built with , they are constructed to take the abuse of a kid. Bunk beds are safer now than they've ever been; most are designed to hold up to all the jumping, kicking, that kids have to offer. Plus with all the safety precautions available for bunk beds now, parents don't have to worry. Just make sure that your children use the ladder for climbing onto the top bunk. The temptation to leap in a single bound is an eye-widening adventure for some little ones, especially the boys.

Kids' bunk beds are a great space-saving solution. You don't even need to have two kids to have a bunk bed either. Sometimes the extra bunk will come in handy for those occasional friend sleepovers.

Yes, the market for kids' bunk beds is huge. But are they just for kids? Dorm rooms that house college students are primarily stacked with bunk beds, as well as boot camp military-style housing. But what about grown ups? Don't most couples want to sleep in the same bed? (50% of you don't answer this!) So why would we as grown ups want one? Well, to decorate our spare bedrooms as guest bedrooms. Home d=E9cor is a very, very big market, and most people want the inside of their houses to shine with pride.

So send the kids to bed in style, who knows maybe they'll even want to go to bed. Combine that with the obvious allure and you have the ingredients for a parent-kid, win-win solution.
