• Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not sweat by salivating. They sweat through the pads of their feet 
• A cat will almost never meow at another cat. Cats use this sound for humans

Birds tangled in threads

Okay!!! Why I'm writing this is because it just happened to my pet parakeet today :( I happened to wrap my parakeet <"NEMO! Okay she's a parakeet not a fish :P"> with a dry towel after bathing her. I didn't notice that there were some uncut threads in it and so those threads got tangled in her tiny tiny legs. :( Usually untying these tangles are tiresome process <"which i managed to do somehow">.

When these situations arise we have to act with care. Cuz, these birds do get tensed like we humans do, so they start acting in their own way thereby messing it up. So, I've decided to put up these steps which U can follow when U find yourself and your pet in this situation

1. Your bird is probably freaked out so calm down your bird first.
2. Cover your bird's face first, usually with fine towel, cuz once their eyes are covered like its dark around them they tend to stay calm, this makes your business easy.
3. Step 2 doesn't mean that cover your bird and let it suffer for oxygen to breathe!!! use a thin towel make sure your bird can breathe while you hold your bird firmly.
4. Make sure you have enough light source around U so that U can see the thread clearly.
5. Slowly start untying the tangle
6. Make sure you don't pull the string so hard cuz your bird's legs are so fragile that even a soft thread may cut it
7. If your done with this leave ur bird he/she is fine :)
8. If not go to step one :)

Have a nice day !!! :D

Did U Know? Pet facts!!!

1. Dogs have about 100 different facial expressions, most of them made with the ears.
2. Cats have five toes on each front paw, but only four toes on each back paw!!!
3. Like human beings have their own unique finger prints, dogs do have their own unique prints!!! The only difference is they have unique NOSE PRINT :D

Gifting a pet!!!

Gifts!!! gifts!!! gifts!!! gifts everywhere!!! When it comes to gifting someone may it be a birthday or an anniversary... or may it be a surprise visit gift!!! Lots of ideas pop in our mind <"pssttt... depending on our budget though"> HaHa :D Some people prefer normal (non-living things) as gifts whereas Some geniuses <"No names in particular!!!"> get extra-ordinary ideas and gift adorable living things <"PETS">

I would say that this fashion of gifting our beloved animal friends has been followed from movies where the hero would gift his beloved girlfriend with a puppy and tada!!! love blossoms.... Only to find that they would have almost forgotten the poor puppy :'( !!! Now! that there's adoption drives everywhere.. People tend to adopt a pet and give that as gift to their <"LOVED"> ones :P 

Okay!!! Lets not brag about the movies anymore... Coming to the point!!! In the first place gifting a pet would look sooo cute initially but as days go on the one who received the pet <"who actually had no idea about pets in the first place"> would start turning bored of their pet... cuz!!! they didn't expect it at all... They may have the pet for few days or weeks but as time passes they may not like it for the following reasons:

1. They may be allergic to pets
2. Someone at home maybe allergic to pets
3. Maybe there's a baby at home
4. Maybe they have no time for pets
5. Maybe they are not allowed to have pet at their apartment
6. Or maybe they don't like U in the first place <" U are an unwanted guest"> :P
7. Ummm!!!! Go to point No.1

Now more or less closer to the above mentioned reasons at some point of time they will abandon the pet on the road or maybe at an animal shelter <"the reason they tell U is THE PET RAN AWAY!! :'(  but the poor thing wouldn't have known whats going on around them">

So, ultimately what I'm trying to tell via this lengthyyyyy post is that... Please don't gift any animals because if someone wants a pet they would go adopt by themselves and they wouldn't wait for someone to gift them one.. Boys!! it may look very cute and adorable to watch ur girlfriend say AWWWW <3 looking at a puppy but she wouldn't want to grow one!! So try and think of some other nice gifts <"perhaps, U can try gifting her some nice shiny lip gloss or eyeliners :D">

Dogs & Travel

So what's better than going on vacation? Going on vacation and taking your dog with you! In order to have the most fun when travelling with your dog, there are a few things you should take care of ahead of time.


One of the most important things to do before travelling with your dog is to make sure he is up to date on all his vaccinations. If you're travelling internationally, you may have to obtain a certificate of health from your veterinarian, but for trips that are closer to home, it's still a great idea to make sure your dog is protected from any diseases you may encounter along the way.









Before it's time to step on to a cruise ship for a few days or climb on to a plane for a few hours, you should make sure your dog is accustomed to his travel crate or bag. If your dog feels at home in his crate or bag, he should have no trouble adjusting to his travelling circumstances, no matter what they are. If you're lucky, he'll curl up and fall asleep for most of the ride.


Decide in advance what items your dog will need for the trip. Some basic things you should have with you when travelling with your dog, include food, water, a collar, his leash, some treats, a pooper scooper, and a small first aid kit. It's also a great idea to bring a picture of your pup, in case he gets lost.


During your trip, it's very important that your dog gets the opportunity to relieve himself whenever possible. He shouldn't be deprived of water or food. Be respectful of other people and places by cleaning up after your dog and keeping him leashed.









If you're travelling in a car in the summertime, make every effort to never leave your dog in the car. If you must leave him there for a short period time, make sure the windows are open to provide some ventilation. Once you're on the move again, either close the windows or keep your dog in his crate to prevent possible injury to his eyes or ears.


By preparing yourself and your dog ahead of time, taking a vacation together can go off without a hitch. And don't forget to have fun with your dog and enjoy the time together!

Selecting a breed of dog

When it comes to choosing a dog, there are lots of things to think about: puppy or adult dog? Male or female? Purebred or mixed breed? And once you've answered all of those questions, you still need to decide what breed of dog you want. Every breed has its own set of distinctive traits, so it's a great idea to do some research on different breeds before making your final decision.

The following are some of the basic traits to consider when deciding what breed is right for you:

Size

From the Chihuahua and Yorkie all the way up to the Saint Bernard and Great Dane, dogs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A dog's size can be a part of his appeal (Westies can be at home just about anywhere, no matter how tight the quarters are.) or a deterrent (It's much easier to accidentally step on a Westie than a Rottweiler!). You should choose a breed whose size fits with your lifestyle.

Temperament

While a dog of any breed could be happy to snuggle up in your lap, some breeds are more likely to enjoy spending time like this. On the other hand, certain breeds will be more inclined than others to join you for a run in the park. Before getting a dog, decide what personality traits are important to you and look for a breed that meets your standard.

Trainability

How important is it to you that your dog can do tricks? How much time are you willing to spend training your new pup? Some dogs are more easily trained than others. There are great dogs out there that, try as they might, will never be able to roll over on command. And there are other dogs that can learn several tricks in one day, but they may not have certain other traits that are desirable to you. You'll have to decide which is more important.

Grooming

Are you looking forward to spending hours every week brushing and caring for your dog's coat, or do you feel tired just thinking about that? Are you prepared to get out the vacuum as often as necessary to rid your carpet of tons of dog hairs, or would you rather not have to think about that? The answers to these questions will help you determine what breed is right for you. Maintaining a dog's coat can be a huge time commitment or none at all, depending on the breed. It's up to you to decide what kind of coat appeals to you and how much time you're willing to spend taking care of it.

While researching the standard traits of a breed can be helpful in making your decision of what breed to purchase, it's important to remember that every individual dog is different. Every dog will have its own quirks, some positive and some negative. Before making your final decision, find a puppy or dog that you love on a personal level—not only because of his breed. And make sure you won't be too quick to give him away if he isn't a perfect match to the breed standard
