Dog houses can either be indoor or outdoor. Therefore, the designs should be customized as well depending on your area.

For dog owners who live inside townhouses or condominiums, it is expected that there is a little space available where the dog house can be placed. There are different topnotch and classy dog house designs that can actually fit inside your home. You can be resourceful and creative by turning end and coffee tables into a getaway for your pet. You can build custom cupboard and sofas that can allow your dog to have its privacy, which is quite important in avoiding sources of stress.

On the other hand, outdoor designs are almost limitless. Perhaps, you are already familiar with the traditional design. Meanwhile, some are more than willing to invest on full-blown fancy designs.

Specifically, a barn-style or farmhouse style is a good option that is best for an outdoor setting. Such designs can be custom made or ready-made. Usually, they come in affordable price tags, mainly due to the stiff competition among pet accessory stores and manufacturers these days.

Lots of designs of dog house can be made with interesting designs such as mock chimneys, self-retracting doors, and windows. If you plan to come up with your own, you need to make sure you have concrete plans on how you will go about building it up. Your option is to look for someone who is already experienced in such a task so you can have someone to help you out. As for the design for your dog's would-be house, you can browse some designs posted online or printed on different pet care magazines.

You should also consider different factors before deciding on a dog house design for your pet. One factor that you should consider is apparently the environment you are in. If it is a small space, you should only limit the size of the dog house. However, do not deprive your dog a space where it can freely move. Also, check your budget. You should not overspend for a dog house. While your dog must be comfortable inside the dog house, you should still consider your resources.

You can always give the best for your pet without having to spend too much.

LIGHTSIDE
Dinner Blessings
The housewife invited 2 couple and their children for dinner one night. As they get ready to eat, the housewife asks her son, “Would you like to say blessings”?  “I don’t know what to say”, the boy replies.

“Just say what you hear what your mother says”, replied the mother.

The boy bowed his head and said, “Lord, why on earth did I invite two 2 couples and their kids for dinner”?

A priest dies and is in line at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked the guy ahead of him his name.  The guy replies, “I am Sam Horton, taxi driver from New York.” Saint Pater gives him a silken robe and golden staff and said, “Enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Now it’s the priest‘s turn. He booms out “ I am the Right Reverend Anderson.” Saint Peter gives him a cotton robe and a wooden staff, and says to the Priest, “Enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”  Taken back the priest asks, “ That man was a taxi driver why does he get a silken robe and golden staff”.

“Results,” Said Saint Peter. “While you preached, people slept.
When the taxi driver drove, people prayed.

To freshen up a smelly drain, just pour a cup of Baking Soda into it, and flush with hot water.

Blocked Drains?
Instead of using caustic products (be green and save money) for clearing blocked drains, throw a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a few jugs of water.

FOOD INFORMATION

GABA ENRICHED RICE

You can thank Associate Professor Orapin Kerdchoechuen and Assistant Professor Natta Laohakunjit of the Centre for Research and Development of Tropical and Sub-Tropical Crops at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi. They researched and developed Gaba enriched rice, a healthy and disease-preventing food .

Having succeeded with GABA rice - using gamma-amino butyric acid, which aids the nervous system and muscle tone - Orapin and Natta aren't about to be so stingy with the rice-loving public.

They're happy to show interested groups and organisations, especially small enterprises, how to germinate the brown rice, and this gives them an alternative way to earn money.

Studies have shown that germinated brown rice can lower blood pressure, improve kidney function and help us sleep better. It appears to help prevent Alzheimer's disease as well.

USE FOOD THERMOMETER
Don’t rely on looks alone. Bacteria can spread during ground meat.  Always use a food thermometer and cook at 160 degrees Fahrenheit when cooking your hamburgers.

After about 15 years, Health Canada has come out with a new Food Guide. Included in the guide is advice for different ages and stages of your live (children, women of childbearing age, men and women over 50).

Some recommendations are;

Eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day.

Vegetables, fruit with little or no added fat, sugar, salt.

Have vegetables and fruit more often then juice.

Make half your grain products whole grain each day Choose grain products that are lower in fat, sugar or salt.

Drink skim, 1%, or 2% milk each day.

Select lower fat milk alternatives.

Have meat alternatives such as beans, tofu often.

Eat at least 2 Food Guide Servings of fish each week.

Select lean meat with little or no added fat or salt.

Peanut Butter Product Recalls

The outbreak of salmonella illness, which began in late summer and is ongoing, has been linked to eight deaths, including two in Virginia. In all, about 500 people in 43 states and Canada have become ill. About 22 percent were hospitalized, and about half of those affected are children.

Health officials said they would work with companies supplied by Peanut Corporation of America to continually update a recall list that is available on the FDA's Web site. The Web site details a long list of popular products that are affected, including candies, cookies, snack bars and snack mixes.

NEXT HEALTH CRISIS?

The past decade witnessed the massive off shoring of jobs to low-cost countries, decimating the U.S.A. and Canada manufacturing base. Cheap food may bring the next health crisis.

Ice cream. Yogurt. Crackers and biscuits. Egg and products containing powdered eggs. Cake. Powdered and condensed milk, pet food, pie, cereal plus other food products.

You probably consumed some of these products.  Did you know where they came from?  You may have thought these products were produced in the USA or Canada.  You would not know that some of these products came from china, and yes, China imports them into Canada and the USA.

These foods of Chinese origin have been found by authorities in the United States, Canada, Australia, to contain an industrial chemical called melamine that is used to make plastic.  In recent weeks, the Chinese government has admitted that adding melamine to food - which raises protein levels, making poor-quality products look more nutritious - is common practice in China.  Melamine can cause kidney stones and kidney failure when eaten. It has already sent about 54,000 Chinese consumers to the hospital and caused the deaths of at least four infants.

BUY LOCAL

Where possible we should buy locally grown foods. As a rule your food is fresher, better flavor, picked within a day of your purchase. Local produce more likely has a higher nutrient content than store-bought produce that has spent time on a transport truck and warehouse. Further farmers who sell directly to local customers receive the full value for their product, can sell cheaper, as there is less cost to processing, transportation, packing, warehouse etc.

Survey for bored people?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I am very very bored.

1) Are you leprechaun short or sequoia tree tall
Well, I tend to be likened to a sequoia...

2) Aunt Jemima on your toes or Peter Griffin on your clothes?
Aunt Jemima, I love pancakes!

3) Do you speak GIR?
mmm... me likes tacos almost as much as pancakes... (I haven't eaten yet today, even tofu sounds good right now...)

4) If your fridge was out of milk would you talk about it's mother?
Not just talk; I'd spread nasty rumors and possibly file a civil lawsuit.

5) Would you let a kangaroo eat your or your best friend?
Not my best friend, never. Me, possibly, but only if I had grown attached to the kangaroo in question.

6) A person under your feet or a creepy guy on your bed?
A person under my feet; People will respect my authority! (please respect it...?)

7) Why doesn't the rainbow taste like skittles?
The leprechaun farted in it last time he rode through; skittles should soon be changing the flavor to accomodate.

Which death is better? Being stabbed to death by a paper clip or choked to death with a wedge of cheese?
The cheese for sure... I'm so hungry...

9) Breakfast or sleeping?
I chose sleep this morning; I'm definitely regretting it now... Were you hungry too when you wrote this or am I just seeing food everywhere I look?

10) Is your air freshener a rip off?
Indeed. At last measurement, the air was STILL the same composition of oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen...

11) Will you buy me a rabbit?
Only if you promise to make me rabbit stew.

12) Do I annoy you?
Nope, I'd much rather take this survey than discuss Vygotsky's ideas in 5 pages or more.

13) How old is old?
Older than young and medium, but younger than ancient. Old souls, however, belong to most people who believe in reincarnation, and they will invariably have an old soul while everyone else on the planet is far less mature and wise than they are...

14) Pen or pencil?
Pen; I don't make mistakes, so I can be bold

15) Paper or post its?
Post its; totally revolutionized the "kick me" sign.
