Put your tippy tappies together for 🐾 For the rest of this month and October we'll be gifting a portion of your purchase to LAG to help them rescue Queensland greyhounds, so they can live their best lives as treasured pets 👏

⭐ We're also sending Love a Greyhound one of our Icypillars to assist with their fundraising efforts. 🥳 Our newest Cuddlepillar is bursting with hues of vibrant blue, cool grey, sunny yellow and dash of pink. 😋 The name is a playful nod to "I See" because dogs have a unique perspective of the world through their special vision of blue, yellow and grey.

You're all absolute stars ⭐ Our Rainy Day Fund shines bright because of your love for our little biz. 🥰 Every time you shop with us, you're sparking windmill tails for two — the dog you're buying for and the rescue dog that you're helping behind the scenes👏

🎉 We're thrilled to share that we've just gifted a $450 donation to the amazing folks at I Want A Greyhound - IWaG - Greyhound Adoption, Education and Support QLD (how cute does Astro look in his pajamas? 🥹)

P.S. We asked Archie to cronch the tags on our last post for the lucky rescue who will take home one of our new Cuddlepillars, but he snoozed on the job 😂🥹 Hang tight while we pick our next Rainy Day Fund recipient! 🐾

26/08/2024

🎉 THREE whole years of Rainy Day Pets and International Dog Day! How do we celebrate? By giving back, of course!

We’re head over tails for our long doggo rescuers, and we need your help! 🙏 Could you pretty please help us pick a greyt, underfunded doggo rescue?

⭐ The most-commented rescue will receive one of our brand-new Icypillar Cuddlepillars, so that they can use it to raise much-needed funds for our fellow noodle friends!

🥰 We truly believe that even the tiniest of businesses can make the biggest impact 💞 From your suggestions, we’ll also be choosing our Rainy Day Fund rescue for our September and October donations too.

When you're rudely awoken from a nap, because your pawrent is singing you another one of their songs. 😑 Sorry, Archie!

P.S. 💤 Definitely don't snooze on grabbing your cuddlepillar, before our price increase comes through in September. The increase was a decision that I've umm-ed and ahh-ed about, but at the end of the day we want to keep supplying your cuties with their favourite toys!

🙏 This will be your last chance to score a Cuddlepillar at the current price, so be sure to order yours before the increase in September.

Dogs and humans alike crave that sweet, uninterrupted slumber to keep their minds sharp and bodies energised. For our doggos, a quiet, cozy corner free from disturbances is a must. Choose a low foot-traffic area to let your snoot snooze in peace and dream of endless belly rubs and tasty treats!

🐶 Just like humans, dogs experience REM sleep and dream, often twitching or woofing in their sleep, shifting between deep and light sleep more frequently than us humans.

😴 Even though dogs don’t awaken and have the capacity to describe their dreams, scientists have managed to gather information about canine dreams and sleep patterns through clinical observations. Some of their findings include:

💤 As a dog falls asleep, their breathing becomes deeper and more regular. Dreams usually begin for the average dog after about 20 minutes of slumber, while in REM sleep.

🐇 While dreaming, the dog’s breathing may become shallow and irregular, and muscles may twitch. Some people may describe this as “chasing rabbits in their sleep”.

👀 A dog's eyes move behind the closed lids and dart about as if the dog is looking at something. It is believed that during this REM sleep, dogs visualise dream images, much as their owners do in this phase of sleep. In fact, if you wake a person during the REM sleep phase, they frequently report that they were dreaming.

😍 Dogs and people dream about and process the things that occurred during their waking hours.

🥰 It's not just the greyhound that loves to sleep, all dogs on average need 12-14 hours of sleep daily, with puppies and seniors needing even more.

💘 Their sleep positions reveal their feelings—curled up for warmth and protection, sprawled out when they feel secure.

Dogs also take multiple naps throughout the day to conserve energy and stay alert. A safe, warm bed, blankets, coats, Hound-Tees and a Cuddlepillar are the pawfect sleep aids for our snoozy cuties.

👀 Did you know dogs see the world in a totally different way than we do?

While humans have three types of cone cells in our eyes for red, green, and blue, dogs only have two for blue and yellow. This means they see a more limited range of colours, with reds and greens appearing more like shades of gray, beige or brown. 💡 In humans this is called trichromatic vision and in dogs, it is dichromatic vision.

Dogs excel at detecting brightness and contrast, and with more rod cells in their eyes, they see better in low light conditions and are great at spotting movement.

⚡ A 2014 study into canine colour perception suggests dogs might be able to see ultraviolet light, but these wavelengths are invisible to our human lenses. This suggests that dogs are able to see more shades of blue and perhaps even colours we can't perceive at all!

🐶 It's why we've crafted a new Cuddlepillar toy that celebrates their unique perception, because we truly see them and understand their world 👉 preorders for our Icypillar (😉 get it... 'I see') are available on rainydaypets.com.au

⚡ Introducing our fabulous new Cuddlepillar colourway! Bursting with blue, grey, yellow, and a dash of pink 💖 It's tailor-made for your dog because:

🐶 Dogs see the world in a unique way with their dichromatic vision, making them the ultimate blue and yellow fans (they even see purple as blue!). While red, orange, and green are a bit of a mystery to them, we've crafted a Cuddlepillar that celebrates their special view of the world - because we truly see them!

✨ We need your help though, drop your most creative name suggestions in the comments, and don't forget to include 'pillar' at the end. Get ready for preorders and the name reveal on Monday, 15th July 🥰

🩷 Same snuggly aura, with all new colours! Can you guess what our new colourway is?

I absolutely adore being a volunteer! This year marks 5 years since my partner and I joined the incredible community 🥰

💕 From fostering, to helping out at events - volunteering is easily one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s been the perfect way to connect with so many wonderful, like-minded people and it feels oh-so-good to give back in whatever way you can. 🙌 A huge shoutout to all my fellow vollies out there, thank you for fighting the good fight for our gorgeous greyhounds.

Do you volunteer?

Hey, wanna be frens?

👋 My name is Cecilia and this is Rainy Day Pets!

❤️ I'm all about inclusivity for all breeds, especially the big ones. As a kid, I was scared of dogs until I met a Golden Retriever and our own gentle Rottweiler, Rein. She changed my life in her nine beautiful years with us.

🧡 Inspired by rainbow bridge girl Rein, and our now favourite son, greyhound Archie () I started Rainy Day Pets in 2021. We began during the popularity of Cuddlepillar toys and has grown from there. We simply love dogs, enrichment and encourage pawrents to be the best advocates for their pups.

💛 My partner, David, and I volunteer with Greyt Greys Rescue, fostering greyhounds and supporting their transition to forever homes (we're up to foster no. 16). We advocate for kindness and are firmly anti-racing .

💙 Every purchase at Rainy Day Pets contributes to the Rainy Day fund, supporting animal charities. It's our tribute to Rein and a way to help other animals in need.

💜 I'm supported by my incredible parents who do all fulfilment and I'm so thankful for their support. I work full-time in marketing, I love baking, lifting weights and connecting with dog lovers.

POV: You're watching a rescue greyhound feel comfortable enough to play for the very first time in her life 🥹😭 🐾 Fostering is such a rewarding experience. Watching Flo's transformation has been truly incredible. Flo was discarded at the pound at 8 and a half years young, but thankfully found safe passage with Greyt Greys Rescue 💙 🐕 With time, patience, and an abundance of love, we've created a space where she can simply be herself. 😍 It's been heartwarming to witness her rediscover the joy of just being a dog. She's found excitement in the simplest things, like her Cuddlepillar toy 😋 💕 We've learned that Flo is a 'speed noodle' who absolutely adores running around the yard. When she's happy, she lets out these adorable audible chatters, and if you dare to stop scritchibg her too soon, she'll make sure you know it 🩷 😂 Flo is a natural-born 'snootervisor' and won't hesitate to accompany you to the bathroom to ensure you don't fall in – it's a risky business, after all! 👀 Now, we're looking forward to the day Flo finds her forever family and embarks on her next adventure! 🐶 It's #AdoptASeniorDog Month and we encourage you to check out the comments to discover how you can enrich your life with a senior snoot! #GreyhoundAdoption #EnrichmentForDogs #SeniorDog #OldDogNewTricks #SeniorDogsRock #Cuddlepillar #GreytGreysRescue #WinningHeartsNotRaces
