How To Get Dog Hair off of Your Dog Bed

November 25, 2013 by Belle's Mom

Using the FURminator to clean the bed

Belle sheds year round – that’s a lot of dog hair. The Roomba does a great job of keeping up with the dog hair on the hardwood floors and I use this handy magic pet hair removal sponge to get the hair off of the couch, but the dog beds tend to get so full of […]

My small town has a lot of dogs, especially my neighborhood. It was only 3 years ago that the first ordinance […]

May 30, 2013 by Belle's Mom

Flexi Comfort 2 Retractable Leash

A good leash is a wonderful thing. While I use very short leashes when walking the dogs, I do use retractable leashes for taking them outside when they need bathroom breaks. I’ve gone through several retractable leashes, and I think this one is great! The dogs are about 35-40 pounds each, so this is the […]

Review of Four Paws Magic Coat Red Pet Love Glove

May 14, 2013 by Belle's Mom

Magic Coat Red Pet Love Glove

Belle has very sensitive skin, so I’ve been looking for grooming tools that are more gentle. I love our FURminator, but I have to be very gentle when I use it. Despite it’s very odd (and long) name, this grooming glove sounded like a good choice. It isn’t expensive, so I purchased one to try […]

Portable Dog Ramp: Getting into the Car

April 14, 2012 by Belle's Mom

Belle is pretty short. She’s just slightly shorter than a beagle. It must be the corgi genes in her. When I bought my new car – a hatchback – I realized that she isn’t going to be able to get into it all by herself.  Georgia can jump in by herself, since she is about […]

Don’t Forget Your Dog ID Tags

April 13, 2012 by Belle's Mom

It’s that time of the year again when people are getting new puppies and letting their dogs outside more. Three times this week I had people come by and ask if I had seen their dog or puppy that had gotten loose. Each time when I asked them if there was a phone number on […]

The Benefits of a Good Training Collar – Control Your Dog While You Walk

March 28, 2010 by Belle's Mom

When she first came to live with me, Belle was not used to walking with a leash. Naturally, she pulled a lot on the lead. This was mostly because she was fearful of it and was trying to get away from it. She managed to pull a retractable leash from my hand once, and the […]

Bissell Little Green Machine Review: Removing dog hair and cleaning the dirt from furniture

October 26, 2009 by Belle's Mom

Being part beagle, Belle loves to get dirty. It’s instinctual, something that dogs do to hide their scent. Although Belle spends time outdoors when the weather is nice, she also spends a lot of time indoors with me. I have hardwood flooring throughout the house. I once had an area rug in the living room, […]
