5 Affordable Tips for Building an Outdoor Dog Kennel

Not all dogs are inside dogs. Some dog owners choose to let their pets live outside. Living outside without a safe, weather proofed, spacious living area is not only dangerous it can be down right miserable for your dog.

In this article we'll discuss five ways to build your own outdoor dog kennel without breaking the bank to provide your dog with an enjoyable, safe, weather proofed, outdoor living area.

We have a lot to cover so let's dive right in...

Tip #1: Semi-Homemade Dog Kennel

Many dog owners have found it more cost effective to build onto a smaller pre-made outdoor dog kennel.

Think of it like an addition to your dog's house.

If you plan it correctly starting out with a smaller kennel then adding on by building on to the kennel can save you money in the long run.

Tip #2: Use Alternate Materials

As far as I know you don't have to use chain link or steel to build an outdoor dog kennel.

Other alternative materials are PVC, wood, and chicken wire.

Use your creativity and look around professional kennels to get ideas for your own kennel system.

Tip #3: Pre-plan for Space and Growth

Giving your dog enough room to move around and get some exercise during the day is essential to a good outdoor dog kennel set up.

Pre-plan and pre-define how much space you want to use so you know how much material you will need to effectively cover that space.

The best set ups allow the dog 20-30 feet of running room and are 10-20 feet in width.

Tip #4: Use Nylon Panels to Create Walls

If you decide to use chain link fencing to build your kennel getting some nylon panels for walls and a roof is an affordable weather proofing solution.

Nylon panels can be washed, they are breathable, and they provide protection from the sun and block the wind better than an open chain link design.

Tip #5: Designing a Cost Effective Roof

You will find there as many options for putting a roof on your kennel as there are for what to build a kennel out of.

Three proven roof solutions that are both effective and affordable are:

a) Plywood

b) Tarp

c) Canvas

In the end your outdoor dog kennel set up should be able to withstand the elements, provide your dog a safe place to sleep (adding a dog house is a good idea), keep your dog safe from strangers and other animals, and unable to escape. We don't want our best friend to get hit by a car or some other accident.

Symptoms of Pain and Illness in Dogs

Dog owners, who recognize the early signs and symptoms of illness or pain in their dogs, will not only relieve their loved one's suffering but may also be able to save themselves an expensive trip to the veterinarian. Not only is it important to recognize these signs early to relieve pain and suffering, but it is much more effective to treat an illness when it is detected early.

The dog owner should keep an accurate and detailed account of their dog's symptoms to help the veterinarian correctly diagnose and effectively treat the dog's illness or condition. Most canine illnesses are detected through a combination of various signs and symptoms:

Temperature, Respiratory Rate and Heart Rate

A newborn puppy will have a temperature of 94-97º F. which will eventually reach the normal adult body temperature of 101.5º F. at the age of 4 weeks old. Take care when trying to take your dog or puppies temperature as the thermometer can easily be broken off in the canine's rectum. Also any form of excitement can cause the temperature to rise by 2-3º when the dog is actually in normal health. If your dog's temperature reaches 105º or above OR 96º or below please take him/her to the emergency vet immediately!

An adult dog will have a respiratory rate of 15-20 breaths per minute (depending on such variables as size and weight) and a heart rate of 80-120 beats per minute. You can feel for your dog's heartbeat by placing your hand on his/her lower ribcage just behind the elbow. Don't be alarmed if the heartbeat seems irregular compared to a human's heartbeat, it is irregular in many dogs. Have your vet check it out and get used to how it feels when it is normal.

Behavior Changes

Any behavior changes that are not associated with a change in the household atmosphere, such as jealousy over a new pet or child may be an indication of an illness. Signs of behavioral changes may be:

o Depression

o Anxiety

o Fatigue

o Sleepiness

o Trembling

o Falling/Stumbling

If your dog shows any of these signs, he/she needs to be kept under close watch for a few hours, or even a few days, until positive signs develop or he/she has returned to normal. Do not try to exercise the dog or put him/her in any situation that may cause stress. Most veterinarians will want for you to keep track of when the symptoms first appeared, whether they are getting better or worse, and also whether the symptoms are intermittent, continuous, or increasing in frequency.

Pain

Dogs that are in pain will likely indicate that they are suffering by giving you clues as to where the area of discomfort is. For instance, a dog that has abdominal pain will continually glance toward their belly, bite or lick the area, and will not want to leave his/her bed. The dog may stand hunched over, or take the 'prayer position' which is when a dog gets down on it's forelegs with the hind legs still standing, because of the pain in her abdomen area.

Dogs can not tell you that they are hurting or cry real tears but a dog may vocalize their pain in a different way. A dog that is hurt suddenly (such as being stepped on) will cry out or wimper in pain. This also happens when an external injury or internal injury (such as an organ) is touched. Whining or vocalization that is unprovoked may be caused from an internal injury as well. Some breeds of dogs (such as the American Pit Bull Terrier) have a higher pain threshold and need to be watched more closely for signs of pain. Breeds with a high pain tolerance are more likely to endure the pain without vocalization.

Another clue to pain is a change in temperament. A dog that is in pain may show signs of aggression. Please take note of this before concluding that a dog has become vicious and let your veterinarian know so that the correct treatment can be administered. Also females in general (even humans!) have days when they are just in a bad mood for no obvious reason. Take note of days of times that these mood swings occur as well as any events that might have triggered them.

Other signs that your dog may be sick:

o Ears: discharge, debris, odor, scratching, crusted tips, twitching or shaking.

o Eyes: redness, swelling or discharge.

o Nose: runny, thickened or colored discharge, crusty.

o Coughing, sneezing, vomiting or gagging.

o Shortness of breath, irregular breathing or prolonged/heavy panting

o Evidence of parasites in the dog's stool, strange color, blood in the stool, or lack of a bowel movement (constipation).

o Loss of appetite or not drinking as much water as normally would.

o Weight Loss.

o Strange color of urine, small amount of urine, straining, dribbling, or not going as frequently as normal.

o Bad odor coming from mouth, ears, or skin.

o Hair loss, wounds, tumors, dander or change of the skin's color.

o Biting of the skin, parasites, scratching or licking the skin frequently.

The preceding article was meant to help educate you to the signs and symptoms of probable pain or sickness in your dog. If any of these symptoms occur over a prolonged period of time, please seek the help of a veterinarian. I hope that this article will help stress the importance of keeping watch over your dog's health patterns and the importance of keeping an accurate, detailed health record for your veterinarian's convenience.

How to Cook Patty Pan Squash

"Awww, how cute," is the reaction of some people upon being introduced to patty pan squash. Also called scalloped squash, they are part of the summer squash family but the smallest of the lot, measuring as little as an inch across.

Patty pans are a light green when young but shade toward white when mature. Their shape has been compared to that of a flying saucer. You can find them in the stores and farmer markets from summer into early autumn. Choose the smallest ones available if you want the best taste and texture. If you handle them carefully, you can store them in the fridge for up to 6 days.

Patty pan squash is a great source of vitamins C and A, as well as folic acid. A cupful of this squash has less than 30 calories.

You needn't make a fuss over cooking patty pan squash. Just keep it simple. To cook patty pans whole, wash them well, place in a steamer basket over some boiling water, and steam 4 to 6 minutes or until tender (test with a fork).

As an alternative to steaming, you can try roasting patty pan squash in your oven. It's almost just as easy. Get a pound's worth of patty pan, trim off the skin, and cut each squash into halves or quarters. Toss with a couple of teaspoons of olive oil and a little salt. Place the patty pan pieces on a baking sheet and roast on the top rack of a pre-heated oven (420 degrees) until they are tender enough to pierce with a fork, which will be about 10 to 15 minutes.

Patty pan squash is also excellent when sauteed. Slice three or four medium-sized squash along their diameter, drop into a pan on top of the stove, add a tablespoon of butter, and sautee until the slices have browned on one side. Turn and continue sauteeing until the second side has browned. If you like, you can toss the sauteed patty pans over cooked pasta.

Toilet Training Tips - 5 Tips For Toilet Training Boys

Toilet training can be a breeze for some children and more challenging for others. Your child's success in learning how to use the toilet can depend on how you react and handle the process. It is going to require you to have patience and consistency for their success and your sanity.

Approach toilet-training as an exciting and fun thing they are learning and not a dreaded task. From a toddler's perspective, learning to use the toilet is for big boys and is a sign they are growing. This can explain why the desire to stay little makes some children more resistant.

o Make sure you son is physically and emotionally ready. Usually between 18 and 24 months you'll notice signs of readiness.

o Start out toilet training boys sitting down it is much easier.

o Set up a regular routine. The best time for a bowel movement is around twenty minutes after a meal. Let your son sit on the potty after a meal- preferably after breakfast-so he gets into a daily toileting routine.

o Help them make a Connection between the feeling to have to go and what to tell you. As soon as you notice the about-to-go signs, query, "Go poo-poo? Or pee? Tell mommy or daddy. You are teaching him when he feels the urge, he says the words.

o Don't let you son become diaper dependent. Use cloth training pants as often as possible. Diapers have been made to be so absorbent that boys and girls are not uncomfortable after they have wet themselves.

There are a more signs of readiness for toilet training boys you want to look for prior to starting, or you will be wasting your time. Toilet Training boys doesn't have to be difficult when you use patience and consistency.

How Does God Have Patience With Us?

"God waits until he gets his turn," says Savannah, age 5.

His turn?

This sounds like something my elementary school principal might have said when I was called to his office. In my case, "his turn" usually translated into a paddle being applied to the seat of my pants.

God has patience with us "by waiting in line," says Ashton, 5. I suppose he's waiting in line to get his turn. Perhaps Ashton was considering how we make God wait in line by trying to solve problems by ourselves instead of turning to him for answers.

"God has patience with me and everyone else because we all mess up a lot," says Gary, 10. "Twenty-four hours a day, someone is sinning," adds Andrew, 11.

Or as Emily, 8, says, "God knows what's going on."

"God has patience with us because he is so, so, so very nice," says Christian, 7. Yes, God is nice or gracious in that he doesn't judge us immediately when we sin against him. But don't mistake God's slowness to anger for a compromise of his righteousness. Rather, his patience gives us time to turn to him.

"If God didn't have patience, we wouldn't be here right now," says Peter, 10. Yes, we wouldn't be "here" to "hear" God patiently calling us. The Apostle Paul wrote that those who harden their hearts against God store up his wrath against themselves for Judgment Day. Another translation reads "treasuring up for yourself wrath" (Romans 2:5).

Who in their right mind would want to invest in a "Wrath Account" administered by God?

"God has patience with us because he is perfect," says Madeline, 11. "God knows we are like sheep and are not smart. God knows we are sinners and need His mercy. God can give us His mercy when we ask for it."

Sheep grazing in green valleys seem so peaceful. It's easy to forget that sheep are not the brightest of God's creatures. Without a good shepherd, they're vulnerable to all kinds of hazards.

The prophet Isaiah wrote: "All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6).

In the ultimate paradox, Jesus is both the sacrificial lamb who dies for the sins of the world and the good shepherd who gives his life for the sheep. "God has patience with us because he had to sit and watch his son die on the cross," says Trey, 11. "He is waiting for us to believe in him," adds Elizabeth, 9.

"God wants us to be patient with others to show them we are Christians," says Sarah, 10. One of the biblical words used for patience is "perseverance." It's not just passively tolerating unpleasant circumstances. It's active endurance in the face of adversity. The Apostle Paul wrote to the new Christians at Corinth that the signs of an apostle, which included miracles, were "accomplished among you with all perseverance."

Sarah is right on target. If Christians belong to a patient Father, his patience should be reflected in their lives. Persevering patience in the lives of Christians is one of the best advertisements to those who don't know Jesus. Try turning the other cheek after you've been slapped with injustice, ridicule or scorn for believing in a man who rose from the dead almost 2,000 years ago.

Point to ponder: Patience is perseverance in the face of adversity or injustice.

Scripture to remember: "For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls" (Hebrews 12:3).

Question to consider: Is Jesus prompting you to show his patience to someone?

Toddler Training Pants - What Are Best?

Potty training can be a daunting time and usually starts when the child is at least 18 months old, (usually older) however the long term gains can make the day of a parent so much easier. A start to potty training also signals the possible end to diaper or nappy dependency and that is one big bonus for parents. The selection of the correct toddler training pants during this time can have effects on how easy the transition from diapers/nappies will be.

Potty training pads or underwear inserts can be a good option, as they help the child feel any accidents and also absorb the resulting mess. If the child can feel the mess then he starts to learn the realisation that he should have used the potty. There is less waste with pads than other items and laundry duty (washing) is low.

Potty training underwear can come in many designs, shapes and colours however the important component here is selecting underwear that has thickness. Usually multiple layered underwear is the right direction to head down. Multiple layers consist of the middle layer being plastic preventing your child clothing being soiled. Training pants that fit your child well are also desirable. A snug fit is much more comfortable than pants hanging off the child.

As mentioned before, potty training underwear can come in many different designs, so selecting ones that have your the favourite cartoon characters of your child on them can be an attractive option for them which may lead to your child not wanting to wet or dirty them. This may send him to the potty more often which is exactly what you want.

Training pants that are easy for your child to pull up or down should also be considered. If they are easy for your child to handle, usually with larger waistbands, then your child will have less stress when attempting to use the potty.

Do not forget that night time is completely different to day time. Select a heavy duty thick pant designed for nights. Your child will no doubt wet during the night so a thick night time pant is the safe option.

The one important thing to remember all children/toddlers are different so what one child is suited to does not mean the next child is also. Shop around find the item that suits your child. The potty training process needs loads of patience form the parent.

Potty Training Tips And Advices That Really Work

Do you have a child that will soon be prepared for potty training? Are you wondering just how you are going to be able to handle this process? Well, here are some potty training tips and advices that can make this time a more pleasant and easier one. The first step is determining when your child is prepared. Most toddlers are prepared to potty train when they are about two and a half years old. However, some begin earlier and others start a little later. To being the potty training process you should go more by the action of your child rather than their age. Start looking for indications that show they are prepared.

One sure sign that your child is prepared to potty train is recognizing and feeling uncomfortable when he or she is wet or soiled. This means they are aware of their body so it will be easier for them to understand what is happening. When your child becomes interested in the bathroom and in wearing training pants instead of diapers they are usually prepared for this big step. When your child has the ability to dress himself or herself in a T-shirt and shorts, this is also a good indicating they are prepared for potty training.

From the time a child realizes they have to use the bathroom to the time they are going is only a few seconds. Therefore, if there are obstacles in the way they will have an accident. This is one reason why spring and summer is the preferred time of year for potty training. The child can wear fewer clothes so they won't have a lot of items getting in their way making it difficult and time consuming. The easier you make it the better the results will be. You also want to make it easy for your child to reach his potty so having it in a convenient place in the beginning is suggested.

You will need to begin the potty training process when you have the time to stay with it or you will be wasting your time. You have to be consistent with the training for your child to learn and understand. Patients is a must, fussing at a toddle for accidents will only make things worse and the process harder. They need to be praised for their efforts and this should be a fun time in their life. So if you are pressed for time and in a hurry, then wait until you have the time to be patient with your child.

The Right Age For Potty Training

One of the most frequently asked questions by first time parents is "what is the right age for potty training?" The short answer to that is "There isn't one."Regardless of what you may hear from well-meaning friends and relatives, the right age to potty train your child is when your child is ready. Attempting to potty train a child who has not shown any signs of readiness will frustrate both you and the child and very possibly make him resistant to potty training in the future.

Helping Your Child Get Ready

You can help your child get ready for potty training by encouraging his natural curiosity. Let him follow you into the bathroom and explain that you're going potty. Let him learn how the toilet works. If his natural curiosity leads him to start happily flushing everything in sight, a simple toilet lid lock from the hardware store will save your sanity and your pocketbook.

You can also help him recognize that he goes potty. Ask him if his diaper is wet. When he starts to tell you on his own that he needs to be changed, he's getting close to being ready for potty training. Switching to cloth diapers at this point will also help since the cloth diapers don't wick the moisture away from his skin, he will be more able to feel wet.

Be Ready Yourself

Prepare for potty training by having the things you'll need on hand. If you decide to use a potty seat or potty chair, have it ready. Your child will need training pants or underwear which you can let him choose. He may decide to give it a try if it means he gets to wear his special new Superman underwear.

Get Your Team Ready

Anyone who interacts with your child needs to be prepared to support your potty training efforts and methods. Daycare providers, relatives, friends or anyone who may need to help him needs to know what words he'll use to tell them he needs to go potty and what do to help him.

He will become frustrated with the process if he tries to tell someone he needs to use the bathroom, and they don't understand what he means or what routine he's expecting. If you are using a sticker chart or other reinforcement/reward system, he will be very put out if he uses the potty and doesn't get a sticker from grandma.

The only one who can tell you when your child is ready for potty training is your child. By being ready yourself, you'll be able to act quickly and take advantage of the window of opportunity when it presents itself.

Behavioral Therapy For Autism

Behavioral therapy for autism has a high chance of success. In this type of treatment, appropriate behavior is rewarded while inappropriate behavior is ignored. The success rate increases if the therapy is started when your child is still young; that is usually before he turns 3-years-old.

You would probably have discovered that your autistic child will challenge your parenting skills with their extremes of behavior. Extremes of behavior would include such things as temper tantrums, self injurious behavior, aggression and agitation. Essentially, he is dictating to you what he wants and his preferences. If he does not get what he wants, you are made to suffer the consequences. Rather than giving in, you should in fact learn how to teach your child a more appropriate way in which to get what he wants.

This is where a consistent program of behavioral modification will work very well. It will not only help you to cope with your child's behaviors but it will also teach your child more socially appropriate behaviors. Such a program must consist of 4 components: a structured daily routine; behavioral control; communication; and applied behavioral analysis.

You should instill a structured daily routine as your autistic child can then know what to expect. Autistic children do not usually cope well with inconsistency or change. Therefore, sticking to a daily routine is important as much as possible.

The next thing that a parent must learn is how to control tantrums and other such behavioral issues. In doing so there are 3 factors to bear in mind:

1. Those behaviors that are dangerous to the child or those around him must be dealt with first. These behaviors need to immediately be stopped with firm words and actions. Try not to show your child any anger while doing this though.

2. Autistic children need to be taught how to sit. The best way in which to do this is to reward appropriate sitting behavior while either ignoring or giving a negative consequence for inappropriate sitting behavior.

3. Autistic children tend to have bizarre, stereotypical, repetitive behaviors. The most obvious of these are finger flapping and rocking. These can be very distracting and thus a firm "stop" command is suggested for use. Next direct your child to another activity that will not allow him to continue these behaviors.

It is important that you talk to your child regularly. Whenever you are talking to an autistic child you need to be both simple and direct. You need to use short, clear sentences without going into explanations or using too many words. So, instead of telling your child, "Come here so that I can fix your pants and tuck in your shirt because you need to look nice" simply tell him, "Come here now." This is an easy command to process as you want to avoid confusing him.

Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is a form of behavioral therapy that is popular. This involves breaking down tasks into individual components. Then, whenever a child successfully completes each step of the task he should be rewarded. It is believed that this form of therapy has a 47% success rate. It is important to note that ABA is not the only behavioral approach to treating autism nor is it a cure for autism. But it is a therapy that should be explored as one of your many options to helping your autistic child.
