Wet or what?

Two days of rain and we have parts of the UK flooded. So far not as bad as 2007, but could be if the rain returns. The weather forecast is for rain over the next 5 days so it may get worse.

This morning was cold and the outlook was dry and I was happy as the last two days I have got soaked. There is nothing quite like a wet dog to raise the smells in a house.

What makes this whole situation so crazy is that the Government is insisting that more houses are build in the South of England. The only large space of land left are either Green Belt or flood plains. Guess where they are suggesting the houses might be built?

Now besides the smell it is advisable to either wash your dog after they get dirty and wet or at least dry them off with a towel. This will encourage the oils to come near to the surface and help keep the rain from soaking in and causing us dogs to get a chill. Our vet calls this Aunt Maud's disease and often associates it with us dogs getting a chill.

Remember the modified diet I am on well it's based on the BARF one, without so much of the raw because I have a problem with eating raw meat. If it's cooked for a while that's fine I can eat it if it's raw inside; if you know what I mean?
There was a big recall in the USA of commercial pet food and more worrying was the fact that well know brands were involved. It's a multi million, if not billion, dollar business so profits are huge. It would seem that many brands buy their products from specialist processors and that's where the contamination occurred. The result was many cats and dogs died within a short time of eating the contaminated pet food.

According to the bosses the only advantage of commercial pet food is convenience as they have found significant savings buying meat for me and even part cooking it.

I hope all your New Year's resolutions are still on tract. Just stick to it for 21 to 30 days and your new habit will be established and the old habit will have diminished or no longer be a habit.
Till the next time have a great day and don't let people get you down.
