The best way to keep a teacup healthy:1. Hand-wash only. It will chip in the dishwasher.2. Use only with saucer, to prevent stains.3. Don’t leave your tea sitting in the tea cup for too long — it will stain the inside of the cup, and create an unsightly ring.That’s about all I can think of.

Nope. It is a good idea to protect a dogs eyes if they have a tendency to ride in a car with their head out the window though.

Yes they do help, especially if he likes sticking his head outta the window when he’s in the car with you. Hope this helps Hun and your little furry mate’s eyes get better. Also you could try gettting him some eye gel from the vets. This helps keep the eyes lubricated and stops them from itching.

Sorry… I just have to ask where in Ontario does it get down to -40C? Kapuskasing? Kenora? Timmins? At my cottage, near Sudbury, it does sometimes go above 40C (humidex) in the summer. On this date last year, even way up there, it was still 5C. They may go as low as -15C occasionally, in the heart of winter.I live near Toronto, and even -5C is brutally cold. (It’s 4C now, and that’s below average for this time of year.) My Great Dane begins shivering at 10C…hence the need for a coat, and boots for the ice and salt. Thankfully, I don’t expect daily temperatures to remain below freezing for another few weeks yet, and we’ll be back on the plus side by the end of February. In the 20 or so years I lived in Toronto, we had snow on the ground at Christmas…what? …2, 3, 4 times? -40C? Really? Huh.EDIT: I have to say that those who say no gear is ever needed by a dog, they must have egregiously-limited experience with dogs. My Dane, for example, not only is visibly cold well-above freezing temperatures, but she walks like an old lady in bare feet, when there is ice and salt on the ground. Put her boots on, and she’s back to her normal self, if not even more carefree. (I’ve actually thought she might hurt herself, given the chances she’ll take when she’s wearing her boots, when compared to when she’s not.) When it’s cold, there’s just no comparison. And even in the summer, when the weather is good, we use boots to protect her feet from sharp rocks when hiking and swimming. Same thing goes, though. She carefully ambles around in bare feet, but with her boots, she’s nearly fearless. There are benefits to gear like coats and boots. As in previous posts of this kind, I make the distinction between those items meant to improve the dog’s comfort and safety, and those meant merely for the owner’s enjoyment.EDIT for Bassett: You wrote, “EDIT: woerden – here in the Ottawa area it DOES go down to -40″Just so you know…According to Environment Canada, the lowest temperature EVER RECORDED in Ottawa was -38.9C in 1933. Average January temperature is -10.8C.I’m just commenting on the Asker’s claim, “I live in Ontario Canada, I if you’re unfamiliar with the climate in this area, the temperature ranges anywhere from 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) all the way down to -40 degrees Celsius (-40 Fahrenheit) within the months of October to March, sometimes April.” Uh…that isn’t even close to accurate. It’s above freezing where the majority of Ontarians live right up to December, and it it’s back above freezing by February…early March at the latest. Sure, there can be cold snaps even below -20C. But to suggest that -40C is a typical low temperature is ridiculous, or that the highest temperature during those months is zero. I don’t know where people get this kind of stuff. They must be very imaginative.

ok heres wat you do-turn on ur wii and go to rock bandmake sure da doggles in all da wayif the doggles r blinking then push the buttonda lightt should be a solid blue

Christine February 16, 2011 at 7:22 pm

The doggles ones look like they’d be more comfortable for her. Both pairs should offer about the same protection. Animals’ eyes can be just as easily damaged as human eyes. I don’t know what these other people are saying about dogs not needing protection from the sun. I guess that’s why there are a lot of older blind dogs out there. I think your dog is pretty darn lucky to have a caring and trendy owner!

Have you ever tried taking him to the vet? He might be scratching his eye because there’s something wrong with it…

If they sell dog “clothes”, then I don’t even need to look at the site to tell you I don’t like them….Dogs don’t need clothes, that’s why God gave them fur!

If your cat is outside, and is albino, he is going to have a perpetual sunburn. They are especially sensitive to the sun and need to be kept indoors at all times. However, if you have a white cat with blue eyes, they are also deaf, and shouldn’t be outdoors anyway.

Yes, it is unnesscessary but some people love treating their dogs like their children. If they have money to spend, then by all means….

I’m a Michelle Obama fan. Besides being a very attractive woman, which is nothing to sneeze at, she is accomplished and clearly intelligent. Best of all she doesn’t suffer fools easily which may help her husband keep his sanity. I like Elizabeth Edwards for most of the same reasons. Its easy to see the Edwards or the Obamas as bright couples who equally bring a lot to each other and their relationship. Cindy McCain is a very rich woman who bought her husband as a boy toy and seems to be addicted to Percocet, Vicodin and bad plastic surgery. She is 20 years younger than her husband – which does not make for the partnership of equals I think makes for a good marriage. Remind me again why its OK for Republicans to divorce their wives for much younger women but not Democrats???

The stinkin’ SNUGGIE! It is dumb as hell.

I think they are great, expecially if your dog is sensitive to light, or has eye problems.. they are also highly reccommended for albino and light pigmented dogs as well.I actually found a cheapie version at Target a few years ago in the “See Spot Save” bins. My dog is funny about having bright lights in his eyes, and I use his during car rides.

A Google search turned up Target (!) and Petsmart as stores for doggles, and there are numerous online retailers that sell them. Heheh, I didn’t know what these were until I researched them – they’re quite sporty! Do you ride a motorbike?

Hi there… most cats would resist having a mask covering their eyes/face and can easily slip out of them not to mention likely causing more injury to the eye when this happens. Ideally, you want to keep the area expose to air to help aid in the healing process. There are various sizes of the elizabethan collar shrouds that pet stores have which may be better suited to prevent your cat from irritating himself… perhaps one with a longer bail and smaller neck may be helpful. Since your kitty has feline herpes, it may be worthwhile to look into the different shrouds at each of the pet store
