This year, I'm planning a local, low-key Thanksgiving celebration that North can attend, but I'm curious how you will be including (or not including) your pets next Thursday.
While bloat is a fairly common (even deadly) ailment, it is not another way to say a pup is overweight! Much like pharyngeal gag reflexes (aka, reverse sneezes), it has a serious scientific name: gastric torsion. This occurs when a deep-chested dog has a full tum (of food or water) and then engages in vigorous activity or exercise. Pups like this Great Dane have stomachs that are not attached to their ribcages, so when it's heavy and full (the "before"), it can flip around and block the intestinal track (the "after").

A liner is now removable (washable for "accidents"!) and reversible in snuggy sherpa and smooth microfiber.
The improved metal frame features two legs to make it more stable and a larger entry hole both perfect for those fluffier or chunkier cats and small dogs.
There's prettier color combinations, too! I'm loving the contrasting shades so peep the standouts below.
I can think of a couple kitties who have this on their holiday wish lists!
Can you believe we've learned about 30 dogs so far on Dogs 101? (Refresh your memory on them here.) Well, I tuned in last week and took some notes on the five latest breeds. I've included a fun fact, and furry face, for each pooch – check 'em out in this slideshow, then tune in to Animal Planet on Saturday at 8 p.m to meet more dogs!
I'm surprised this kitty doesn't look more pleased to call this crate her own – it's one of the swankiest on the market. But just how swanky?
Well, to refresh your memory, I already featured a traditional eiCrate ringing in at several hundred dollars . . . how much do you think this golden one will cost ya?
