Hey there, it’s the crazy beagle and many high action packed things have happened since we last talked. Such as the fact that there is an evil beagle lurking in the shadows. No one knows where he came from they just know that he is here. He has also sent one of his minions, the evil Blankie-Tron 2.0. Just to show you how well I kicked its fluff here’s a video. Enjoy. (because I know I do)

Hello everyone its the crazy beagle again and I’m hiding in my safe place with all these blankets to keep me safe while i write this blog. I would just like to say for all dogs out there who are afraid of thunderstorms that it is okay to be afraid. You just need to let your owners/friends know how to make you comfy in your time of need. Here are some great tips that work for this ccrrrraaazzzzyyy beagle right here.

1. Make sure you let them find their comfortable place such as a laundry room or bathtub. Remember, we love tidy places that make us feel comfortable.
2. Make sure you turn to a soothing radio station such as classical or smooth jazz. Just because you like punk or rap doesn’t mean us dogs can relax to it.
3. This tip is my most favorite. Make sure you give the dog his favorite blanket/bed or even both.
4. Last, but not least, remember dogs (especially us beagles) can sense storms ahead of time because of the extra electricity put in the air.

So when your dog gets up and goes, put all these tips in to place and watch your dog ride the storm in the most comfortable way possible.

The Crazy Beagle is laying low these 100 degree days. I am lucky enough to have a owner who is smart and knows how to take care of me during these “dog days” of summer. We are walking less, no running, and drinking plenty of water.

My concern is for my fellow dogs owners who may way have have the information to keep their dogs safe during these hot days. The Crazy Beagle wants to share his three tips to keeping my fellow dogs cool, avoiding heatstroke, and staying safe during these “dog days” of summer:

• Don’t take your dog jogging—except on cool mornings or evenings—and don’t force exercise. On long walks, rest often and take plenty of water. Hot pavement can burn dogs’ paws; choose shady, grassy routes.

• Trim heavy-coated dogs’ fur, but leave an inch for protection against insects and sunburn. Keep an eye on areas where hair is thin, like eyelids, ears, and nose as they can get sunburned.

• Keep your dog indoors. If he or she must stay outside for long, avoid the hottest part of the day. Provide shade, water, and a kiddie pool. Keep drinking water in an anchored bucket or a heavy bowl that won’t tip over.

• Heatstroke can come on quickly and result in brain damage or death. Watch for symptoms such as restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite, dark tongue, rapid heartbeat, fever, vomiting, or lack of coordination. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, get her or him into the shade immediately and call your veterinarian. Lower the dog’s body temperature gradually by providing water to drink, applying a cold towel or ice pack to the head, neck, and chest, or immersing the dog in lukewarm (not cold) water.

In my previous posting, the Crazy Beagle shared with you how I was attacked by a fellow dog while protecting my owner. Well, the Crazy Beagle would like to say thank you for your thoughts and concerns.

I am healing very well and should be at 100% by next week.
