Skymall gadgets

When flying I often like looking through the Skymall magazines that are on the flight.  I found some very interesting items. For example Thundershirt for dogs. Dogs hate fireworks and it makes them very anxious. This item is suppose to calm them. With its patent-pending design, Thundershirt's gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited. Data collected from surveys completed by over two thousand customers reveals that over 80% of dogs show significant improvement in symptoms when using Thundershirt. As for WHY Thundershirt's gentle pressure works to calm a dog, experts such as Dr. Temple Grandin believe that pressure has a calming effect on the nervous system. Using pressure to relieve anxiety has been a common practice for years. For example: TTouch dog trainers use pressure to address a wide variety of anxieties. People with autism use pressure to relieve their persistent anxiety. Children with certain behavioral problems use pressure shirts and weighted vests to relax and focus. Parents use swaddling to calm an inconsolable newborn infant. Until now, there just hasn't been a well-designed, inexpensive pressure wrap commonly used for dog anxiety. Thundershirt is changing that!

Thousands of veterinarians and dog trainers now recommend Thundershirts for their anxiety cases. For many anxieties, we recommend just putting on a Thundershirt and observing the results (No training!). You very well may see significant improvement for noise, crate, travel, barking and others with absolutely no training.


For more complicated anxiety cases, we recommend using Thundershirt as part of a behavior modification program. One thing is for certain, for a very large percentage of dogs, Thundershirt's gentle, constant pressure has a terrific calming effect. But Thundershirt is also a very useful tool for managing excitability or hyperactivity with strangers, on the leash, or in a training environment.



They come in many different styles and sizes to fit your dog.  Try it.  It worked for my Yorkie!  Prices start at $35.95 to $49.95.

My Rescue Pet

I have a cute little dog named Yorkie! The name fits him so well, he is a Silkshire; that is a Yorkshire and Silky Terrier mixed.  My sister has been trying to get me a dog since she first got her Cocker Spaniel 4 years ago from a co-worker. I was not ready to accept a full time pet at that time because I was facing shoulder surgery and it would have been difficult to take care of it at that time.

On occasion I would take care of her dog when she and her husband had to travel. I found myself missing the dog when she was not around. On my birthday January 17th of this year 2012 my sister decided that I should have a dog companion. She adopted Yorkie! I fell in love. I am like a mother with a baby, buying everything for the doggie! I now understand why people get so carried away with their pets.  I also see that it can get very expensive to have a pet.

Weather your pet is a dog, cat, fish etc; Below are some interesting and cute items they have for your pet.

Yorkie!
