Electric

As I was reading your post my mind was trying to think of what I could use that would be like a small electric blanked for the pugs.  And then read your solution.  Very creative…I’m off to buy a heating pad just for them.

Corrine, I don’t know how you get all the wonderful pictures as you do, especially when all three are together.  I can’t just get a decent photo (Black Pugs don’t show up to be more than a black spot) of one of them let alone three.

Georgie has been licking his paws more and more.  Is that a Pug thing?  Any solutions?  His paws don’t seem to be sticky or injured.

Pug hugs,

and the Swamp Pugs want Cooper to go home.

Your CO friend is exactly right.  And with you living right on the coast, that moisture will really get ya.  When I would talk to friends her in NYC about the cold in FL, they just laugh, even my husband.  He couldn’t laugh though the other night when he discovered that the temp at my daughter’s place in N Central FL was even colder than here in NYC.    Imagine cool to cold temps and no snow to shovel.  lol No wonder we have so many snowbirds.

As for the heating pad- fabulous idea.  You are sooo smart.

Baby Benny, I am so sorry the colder weather is affecting you so.  Mom is really helping you out in a very good way, and hopefully your weather will warm up soon and you will be in tip top shape again.  Romeo lives in he Midwest and he is staying curled up under or on top of the warm blankies.

I know you probably don’t think you need another dog bed but have you thought of maybe picking up one of the ones that are actually made so that the bed only turns on the heat when the pet is on it?  Sounds like it would be a great solution.  :D

Awwwww, poor Benny:(  Hooie also is really stiff and gimpy when he wakes up in the morning now a days with the weather the way it is in California.  I finally started to give him his meds for his joints to help him.  He wiggles out of any clothes I ever put on him to keep him warm!!!!

I’m sorry to hear that Baby Benny has that stiffness.  I hope you have some warm weather come along for him.

Recently my husband had been using our heating pad for one of his aches, and Bennie discovered how wonderful it was.  And so he’d watch and wait until my husband would get up, and then Bennie would commandeer it for himself!!

I love this picture of Benny and Henry they look nice and warm Corrine you take such good care of them I give all my pugs cosequin DS for there hips and joints maybe that will help Benny or do you already give it to himat first my gang liked the change in weather but now they rush out do there thing and right back in the warm house last night when I got off work it was only 38 here in Tampa Florida way to cold for me

Hellen, Give me a call at 1-877-491-7877 and I can take your order over the phone.

Poor Bennie. I hope the sweater and the heating pad works for you. Stiff joints are no fun. I was thinking if Pip is slow going in the morning and once he does his ‘kitty cat’ stretch, he walks into the kitchen. The hall is carpet, the kitchen is hard wood and his feet always slip. It’s like he is walking on ice. It’s the only path to the back door so he takes it slow. It’s kind of cute actually.

Huckle~I was gonna ask what SusanL asked. Has Georgie been checked for allergies? Thats what started with Pip’s allergies. He was always licking his feet and I just thought it was a comfort thing for him but then he got crusty skin around his eyes. When I took him to the vet he checked all over and sure enough…allergies. I hope it isn’t allergies for Georgie but something to consider.

Stay warm all!

We live in Ohio so my girls get pretty stiff in the winter also. They sleep on a loveseat in our bedroom. We bought them an electric HEATED MATTRESS PAD, twin size. We slipped it over the cushions and placed a blanket over it. It has ten heat settings and shuts off after 10 hours. It is MUCH more safe than a heating pad. We have one on our bed also. It keeps then toasty warm and helps with their stiffness!

Not sure if anyone else has brought it up, but there are now electric throw’s on the market. I bought a couple at Sear’s last week. They have a 10 position heat setting, and an automatic shut off after 10 hours. I bought it for my husband, but when he’s not using it there’s a pile of pugs taking up every square inch of that blanket.

Heather - about the Yucca Root Powder - what amount do you use.  It sounds worth trying - maybe even for us adults?

Seems we have two Heathers on this blog.
