Travel dog crate with divider for two dogs?

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a travel dog crate that had a divider built in for two dogs. My girlfriend has a dog, and I am getting a dog, both English bulldogs, so they are not very big. We travel a lot, and we always bring her dog with us. Since I have a sedan, not an SUV, I have limited space for two dog crates, and was wondering if anyone knew of a dog crate made for travel that had a seperated in it for two dogs (and two doors). Let me know.

Yes, you can buy a divider for the wire crates, that just snaps into place. Most of the wire crates can be opened from either end.

Sending a pet to a kennel whilst you are on holiday can be inconvenient should there not be a kennel local to where you live, expensive and many owners hate the thought of having to leave their dog or pet when they go away. Taking a dog abroad has its problems with quarantining etc but if the holiday is in the UK, so why not take your pet? It is now far easier to take your pet away with you without compromising on the choice of holiday. In fact, there are now pet friendly hotels which a few years ago, was almost unheard of.

Self catering holidays are an ideal type of holiday when taking a pet away. A self catering property has the space for the dog as many are like home from homes and it enables the ease when feeding and the storing of pet and dog food for example. The Lake District is heaven for dogs with endless walking routes and for the owners, the spectacular scenery coupled with an excellent range of Lake District cottage properties to stay in. Not all Lake District self catering cottages allow dogs, so asking prior to booking is advisable but properties that do allow pets are becoming increasingly more available. Some even let pets go free which makes taking a pet with you far cheaper than kennelling. After all, it is reported that there are around 27 million pets in the UK with 43% of UK households having at least one pet.

France is renowned for allowing dogs almost everywhere which in turn, means a huge number of UK holiday makers venture over there with their dogs. That means the UK tourism industry is missing out on that market to some extent. With the Euro being so poor against the pound at present, it is the perfect opportunity for Lake District cottage owners and other self catering properties in the UK.

Directories are available that list pet friendly and dog friendly tourism businesses which is very helpful. Self catering management and marketing companies always report high number of enquiries for dog friendly cottages and actively advise their clients to allow dogs and pets. As long as there is a separate pet policy document that is sent out and signed by the owners then any damage or other problems are the responsibility of the owner.

It is not always appropriate or right to take a pet on holiday should the destination, type of accommodation or the activities on the holiday not be suitable for a pet. The Lake District on the other hand is one destination with a great choice of Lake District cottages and other self catering properties to stay in that both family and Fido with enjoy equally. This kind of holiday is a real get away and brings even more enjoyment for families.

Within the Lake District there are a number of different terrains so a self catering property can be found to suit any age of both dog or owner from the flatter east side to the rugged western Lake District.

The winters are here again. To keep yourself warm and cozy, whether while sitting on a couch watching your favorite soap or while surfing the Internet, you should use a snuggie. Snuggies are quite popular, but if you are not aware of what a snuggie is, let me explain. In simple words, snuggie is a blanket with sleeves. It is made of fine fleece that keeps you warm. The nice loose sleeves of snuggies allow free movement of the arms so that you can work without any difficulty.

Some benefits of snuggie blankets are given here –

Keep You Warm Always

Where a blanket keeps you warm when you are lying on a couch or bed, a snuggie keeps you warm while you are sitting, standing, walking, or lying. So, it keeps you warm irrespective of whether you are working in the kitchen or garden, or dining on the table.

Reduce Your Electricity Bills

A snuggie can reduce your electricity bills. This is because you can wear snuggie at home all the time, to keep you warm. Lesser load on the heating system means a lower electricity bill.

Available In Different Colors And Designs

Snuggies are available in a wide range of colors and designs. You can choose bold or soft colors in plain or prints. Nowadays, there are designer snuggies available with different animal prints like tiger, zebra, and camel. Since snuggies come in so many colors and prints, you do not have to compromise on your style.

One Size For All

Snuggies come in one standard size for all the adults. It is a unisex blanket or garment, as you may call it, which can be worn by any member of the family. However, if you have kids, you have to buy separate snuggies for them. The snuggies for kids are commonly known as Snugglettes.

Inexpensive

Snuggies are inexpensive. You can buy a great snuggie for as less as $30. Moreover, as Christmas is approaching, several online stores are offering discounts on snuggies. You can even get great deals like 'Buy One Get One Free'.

Customized Snuggies

You can get a made-to-order snuggie. Some companies make snuggies according to the choice of their customers. However, such orders for customized snuggies are generally accepted only for bulk deals.

Available For Dogs

Snuggies are not just available for humans but for dogs too. So, if you want to wrap your pet in warmth, you can buy a snuggie for your dog. It will provide better protection to your pet from the harsh chilly weather. Moreover, it is great for indoors as well as outdoors.

Buying a snuggie is easy. There are several online stores that sell snuggies. Just visit any such web site, choose the color and print, make the payment and the snuggie will be delivered at your home in a few days. So, no hassle of visiting several stores to find a perfect snuggie for you, it is just a click away.

Mat House Dogs

why does my 6 month old dog not want to wee outside - he comes into the house to use his training mat ?

i have a 2 year old shih tzu (dog) and a 6 month old husky (dog) my husky insists on using his traing mat even tho e watches my other dog wee outside - why?
ive tried to put the mat outside n he thinks its a game n rips it up - also tried to get rid of mat n he wees on floor where it used to be - first thing in a mornin he waits for me to open door and let him out he goes then but thats it he wont go again till the morning after

Instead of letting him outside on his own, go outside with him EVERY TIME, whatever the weather and train him. When he goes put a word to it, like "toilet" or "be clean" then praise him, within a week you will have a dog that will toilet on command outside.

Dogs need to go after waking, after eating and after playing.
Lift the indoor mat, you are just teaching him he can go inside.

Purchasing plus size intimate apparel has become easier than ever. There are many choices available in DD bras. The woman looking for a size 34DDD bra, for instance, will find many ways to optimize comfort, fashion and fit.

When buying plus size underwear for comfort, features to look for are gel cushioned shoulder straps and closures, wide straps, tag free and wireless bras. For women who have trouble reaching, front closure bras with large hooks provide ease of fastening. In addition, the latest fastening accessory is the Magsnap. It simply converts a two hook bra to a magnetic closure.

Plus size intimate apparel can be fashionable too. How your clothing looks is greatly dependent on your bra. DD bras can be ordered with seamless and smooth cups for natural shaping. For extra beauty, embellished bra straps are a fun addition; some come with Swarovski crystal, glitter, rhinestone or beads. Clear and convertible straps are a good choice for tube tops, halters and strapless dresses. For Bridal fashion, DD bras with French lace are perfect. Satin, cotton and leather are some of the more common fabrics used in plus size intimates. These fabrics help DD bras and corsets to feel luxurious and flattering.

Other popular types of apparel are bust minimizers and shapers. Most shapers have fitted cups that can be used as bras. You can find stretch lace shapers, shapers with tummy control, and long line bras. Bras with side shaping offer extra support. Minimizers also help to mold your figure and can reduce bust projection by more than an inch. Another way to achieve a slim look is with plus size corsets. The boning construction can give a very streamline and sexy look.

Don't forget fit when looking for double d bra features. Fit is extremely important to finding the best large bra. If purchasing online, use the sizing guide. Size can vary by manufacturer. Pay special attention to the band size. The band provides the support, not the straps. Cup size measurement is also a deciding factor when purchasing a plus size bra. If a cup is too small, there will be spillage and the underwire will be too tight. If the cup is too big, the bra will be baggy and wrinkled.

If you need plus size intimate apparel, you will not have to compromise on fashion or comfort if you look for the features and options mentioned here. Shopping online can be a fine place for purchasing DD bras if you take your measurements and look for a store with a wide selection of name brand and designer bras. Selecting a bra is an important investment. It is a very personal belonging and should be comfortable, look pretty and last a long time.

This author owns and operates Sweet Pea Lingerie, specializing in designer and plus size intimate apparel with emphasis on comfort and quality. Visit today to find a huge selection of plus size DD bras, panties, corsets and shapers.

A tag line is a short, catchy, memorable phrase that creates a distinctive brand identity, and the best of them communicates your brand's Unique Value Proposition (UVP) to your target market. Your UVP is the unique service or knowledge you supply that makes your business stand out from your competitors.

Each communication you make to your customer must say to them, 'buy this product, and you will get this specific benefit'. If you can't express your UVP, it can be guaranteed your clients won't be able to, either.

Two examples of tag lines that communicate strong UVPs are:

Econo Lodge hotel chain - "Spend a night, not a fortune."

Mars candy company - "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands."

The best tag lines:

- Are short - 10 words or less; no more than 5 words is best

- Communicate UVPs or benefits

- Include keywords - if marketing online is part of your strategy

Here are 5 steps how to quickly create a tag line that is distinctive, communicates your UVP to your customers, and tells them "why" they should buy your products and services:

Step 1. Brainstorm a comprehensive list of words

Your tag line is comprised of words, so the best place to start in creating one is by jotting down different words that come to mind as you think about your products and services. Consider words that communicate:

- Benefits, results, and pain

- Client qualities and characteristics

- Nouns, adjectives, and verbs

- Your aspirations

- Rhymes

- Paradoxes

As you think of words, write them down on a giant piece of paper taped on a wall so you can see them:

Benefits, results and pain---

Write down words that represent the benefits and results your clients receive from using your product or service. A business coach might write down the words and phrases increase sales, get more clients, leverage your knowledge, accelerate results, and make order out of chaos.

Now, brainstorm what pain your customers and clients are trying to avoid or get rid of when they buy from you. For a marketing coach it may be disorder, lack of a plan, confusion, poor results, and no system.

Client qualities and characteristics---

Think about what qualities characterize your clientele. Are they exclusive, high-end, wealthy, down-to-earth, creative, cosmopolitan, industrial, homey, natural, and health-conscious? Write these words down.

Nouns, adjectives, and verbs---

Expand your list by writing down nouns, adjectives, verbs that may describe your business.

For example, a landscaping company would include words like green, hedge, trees, lawn, gardens, grass, picket fence, waterfall, and pond. You can also lengthen you list of words by using a thesaurus or synonym finder.

Your aspirations---

Consider words that imply mastery, excellence, superiority, biggest, best, king, queen, big fish, top dog, paragon, goddess, etc. A housekeeper may create a tag line of the "Queen of Clean".

Rhymes---

Rhymes and near-rhymes can also be used. A woman who owns a travel agency might select the tag line, "Your Vacation Maven".

Paradoxes---

A paradox is combining two ideas that contradict each other, and may be opposites. For example, an Italian pizza shop could boast of "the most heavenly pizzas on earth".

Look back through words and phrases you've previously jotted down, and ponder their contraries.

Step 2. Combine words on your list.

It's time to start playing and combing words on your list. Look at the words, and start combining them together.

Step 3: Evaluate Your Favorite Candidates

Once you have one or more tag line phrases you like, subject them to the following criteria to evaluate and test them for success:

- Are all words pronounceable and spell-able?

- Is the tag line concise and easily understood?

- Is it distinctive? (The following aren't-"Top Quality Professionals" and "Fine Dining".)

- Does it communicate your value proposition or message you want to convey?

- Will it sound pleasant to the ear? (Words that bring unpleasant things to mind should be avoided, such as "Poo-Poo Catering in the Chinese Tradition".)

- Can you deliver the promises you make to your customers?

Step 4. Get feedback

Before committing yourself to your top choice, get feedback from at least half a dozen people who'll be hearing or seeing it for the first time. Ask them if they "get it", and what unique value or benefit you are delivering.

If they can't tell you, then your tag line has little value and you'll have to go back to the drawing board.

Step 5. Promote your tag line

Use your new business tag line everywhere - on your website, business cards, brochures, email signature, advertisements, and when you speak about your business.

Enjoy the distinction, recognition, and success a great tag line will bring you!
