This is why we're the fat-police here at BRX...

This graphic is from a Purina study, some years ago, that split matched Labrador pups into two groups. One group was fed to keep them at a regular pet weight; the other group was fed in a way that kept them lean - not thin, just lean. The pups were followed from birth until death and the difference was staggering.

The lean-fed dogs didn't just live almost two years longer - they developed joint issues later and they were less severe.

Keep your dogs long on hugs... and a bit short on food.

Behavior > obedience

Flashy obedience means nothing if your dog doesn’t know how to stop biting people and/or lunging at them.

Cooler weather is coming be prepared. Straw will reflect body heat back to a cat and actually repels moisture. Straw is tough, thick, dry leftover stalks from crops. It's lightweight and golden in color. Straw has a hollow center which makes for great insulation (just like double pane windows).

Do NOT use hay (OR blankets) for bedding in outdoor cat shelters. Hay is green and heavy. Hay is typically used to feed animals, like horses. It absorbs moisture, making it damp, cold and uncomfortable for cats, and has the potential to get moldy.

You can buy straw bales at your local co-op, farm/ag supply stores, local garden center/nursery, Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply or Ace Hardware. We’ve even seen bales of straw being sold outside grocery stores along with pumpkins. Farms selling pumpkins often sell bales of straw too.

Don’t need a whole bale? Perfect time of year to go by Walmart, JoAnns, Micheals etc. for their small decorative bales. They should be on clearance for a couple dollars.
