Dog Beds: Now That You Have Your New Pooch, Where's He Going to Sleep?
Copyright 2006 Allen Shaw
Take my word for it, no matter how much you want your new puppy to sleep with you, this is not the best option. Especially when you're dealing with a 75-pound behemoth that's scared of a little thunder. Your king-sized bed suddenly becomes half a twin-size bed. So next to food and a trip to the vet, a good dog bed should be one of your first major purchases. But what kind of dog bed should you get? There are literally hundreds of choices.
For instance:
Large dog beds for the type of dog mentioned in the first paragraph
Outdoor beds for the pooch who prefers sleeping under the stars
Fancy designer beds for the pampered pooch that's probably related to Paris Hilton's Tinkerbelle
Travel and car beds for the dogs who spend a lot of time on the road
Heated beds for the cold-natured little breeds
Orthopedic beds for the pooches getting up there in age Iron beds for the decorating pooches in your household
Chew-proof beds for?well?you know
And waterproof beds for the little pups who sometimes get a little scared at night?you know what I mean.
But no matter the bed you buy, there are a couple of rules you should be aware of. First, make sure every part of the bed is machine washable. No matter how many times you wash your dog, he's going to manage to smell up that bed. And if it's a bed you keep in your own bedroom, the odors that will eventually emanate from that bed will give you nightmares.
Second, get a bed with cedar shavings or a thick foam pad as the padding. This will help immensely with keeping your favorite flea friends from becoming permanent residents of your dog's bed.
Third, make sure you buy the right size dog bed. If possible, take your dog with you when you buy the bed. No matter how cute the bed is, or how well it goes with your home d?cor, if your dog can't comfortably lay down in the bed, he won't use it.
Also, pay close attention to what the bed is made of. Wicker is cute and very stylish. But fleas love it.
And for the dog that hasn't quite gotten over the chewing stage yet, a wicker bed is little more than the world's largest chew toy. Beanbags are also popular dog beds because most people born in the late 60s still have one stowed away in their basements or attics somewhere (yes you do, admit it). But have you ever seen what's inside a beanbag? You will find out very quickly if Fido discovers how to operate the zipper that keeps the stuffing in the bag. You would be wise to leave the beanbag in the attic and open your wallet cheapskate.
So now that you've done the research, go out and buy your new best friend a great bed. Remember to get the proper size.
Get one with cedar shaving or foam as the padding. Make sure all parts of the bed are machine washable. And most importantly, make sure Fido likes the bed or you will have an unwanted visitor in the middle of the night?especially when there's thunder.

Lawn Edging
words: 312Lawn edgingHow do you make those flowers bloom where they are planted and not go overboard and how do you make your turf stick to its own turf and not edge into your flower beds, borders, and garden spaces? Lawn edging is the answer!Edging bricks, lawn timbers, and treated wood edging , molded plastic edging and heavy duty plastic strips are all ways to wall in your flowers and keep weeds out of your garden and the other landscaped areas of your yard. In addition to curbing your weed problem, lawn edging also keeps mulch and decorative landscape treatments in place. Brick edging remains a favorite method of lawn edging. Now available in many colors and pattern variations, it is an attractive, durable, and easy way to cut back on lawn chores. If you want to dig deep into your weed problem, pressure treated wood edging or plastic strip edging is the way to go.
Because these types of edgers are usually easier to bury deeper than bricks, molded plastic edgers (decorative),...

Hosting An Open House To Sell Your Home
When selling your house "by owner" you don't have the advantage of a real estate agent with tons of clients so you need to draw people to your house and one way is to have an open house. This will require some prep work and a bit of your time but can reel in potential buyers and get the word out about your home.
The best day for an open house is Sunday.
This is the day most people spend with their families and are out and about running errands so zipping over to an open house is a nice break.
It's best to hold it during the day so people can see the
house in daylight.
Plan to have the open house for several hours - like noon to 4.
Put an ad in the real estate section of the paper a week ahead of time and let it run all week.
Your ad should list the time for the open house, the address, some special amenities of the home like how many bedrooms or if it has a nice view, the asking price and a phone number where they...

Cape Cod Hotels
Cape Cod has a wide variety of lodging options to suit the requirements of every vacationer. From luxury resorts to camping; from chocolates on your pillow to walking to the bathroom facilities - you can select the level of service and cost that you desire - and most importantly - that fits your wallet!
There over 375 places to choose from to stay at on Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Hotels and motels account for about a half of this number, with bed and breakfasts making up about 35%. We found 23 campgrounds and there are also quite a few luxury resorts. The rates varied as widely as the variety of accommodations.
And, of course, you can expect to pay top dollar during "high season" in July and August. Since more and more people travel in the late spring and early fall these days, we have noticed that rates have for those times are not as low as they used to be, but they are still quite a bit cheaper than prime summer time.

Hostels And Other Cheap Travel Accommodations
Hostels have been around in one form or another for a long time. They are oriented towards young travelers and anyone else seeking cheap accommodations. The United States version was originally more complicated, with guests helping with chores, etc. It is much simpler now: you rent a bed instead of a room, sharing the bathroom, living room and kitchen. You have less privacy, but cheaper accomodations, and you get to socialize.My first time in Quito, Ecuador I stayed at Centro Del Mundo, a hostel near the center of town.
$4 per night included breakfast. I shared a room and bathroom with 4 others, and a T.V. room with guests from 14 countries, and channels in three languages. 80 cents got me a rum-and-coke to drink while I played chess with a flower-buyer from Holland. The manager could arrange anything from tours of the snow-covered volcano Cotapaxi, to $2/hour Spanish lessons.Is A Hostel For You?I love hostels, but most of you won't.
I like mingling with travelers from...
