Feeders Waterers
My dog is afaid of her dog feeder and waterer. what to do?
she’s seems very timid of it, she’ll grab a mouthful of food and take a few steps back then eat it. she’ll to this until the front half of the feeder is gone but won’t eat to the back half to where the feeder would refill the bowl. normally she would stay in front of and eat out of a normal bowl. HELP!!!
Do absolutely nothing about this! She will work it out on her own. If you try and tell her “it’s okay” in a soothing voice….this, to a dog, is the same as saying that she has a reason to be afraid. Dogs do not understand “comforting” words like people do.
She is eating out of it. With you ignoring it and acting like life is normal, she will grow accustom to it within a couple of days.

The Benefits of Automatic Pet Feeders & Waterers
Feed and water are two essential elements for keeping your dog happy and healthy. It’s important that Your Pet be fed and given water every day, preferably at around the same time of the day, if possible, in order to keep their digestive systems working regularly. Because we all often lead busy lives and our schedules may sometimes produce conflicts which prevent us from keeping a set schedule for our pets, we cannot always guarantee that our dogs are going to get their food and water at the same time every day. That was before automatic pet feeders and waterers came along.
The automatic pet feeder gives you as a dog owner or guardian the freedom of being able to always make sure that your dog has food, without having to always be there to make sure that happens. The automatic pet feeder stores the food for you and dispenses it when need so you don’t have to worry about not having your dog’s food ready at a certain time throughout the day. How does it work? Automatic dog feeders are equipped with mechanisms that allow you to set a certain time of day during which the food will be dispersed. When that time of the day comes, the dispenser is activated and the preset amount of food is released into the bowl. Most come with features which allow you to decide how much food is dispensed so you’re not giving your dog too much or too little food. It’s important to keep in mind how much food you want your dog to eat at one setting. This will determine which levels you are going to set the automatic pet feeder at. You don’t want to over feed your dog as this will lead to obesity and unhealthy eating habits. Also, it is unsafe to under feed your dog as this can lead to malnutrition and other health issues. So really the only responsibility you have as the owner or guardian is to make sure that the automatic pet feeder is stocked with food, and to make sure the feeder stays clean. The automatic pet feeders are designed to hold dry food only, not wet food which would be quite messy and obviously would not keep very well in a container of this type. Automatic pet feeders come in all shapes and sizes. If you’re like me and prefer to feed your dog twice a day, there are 2 meal pet feeders which contain 2 separate bowls of food, both of which are dispensed at the time of the day that you choose.
Automatic pet waterers like the Drinkwell Pet Fountain serve essentially the same purpose as the automatic pet feeders in that they are designed to eliminate the need for you as the dog owner or guardian to be there to fill the water bowl for your dog every day or whenever the bowl is empty. They help to keep your pet hydrated and healthy and reduces the chance of your dog experiencing health issues as a result of the lack of water. Automatic waterers are equipped with a holding tank which is usually big enough to hold a substantial amount of water, and the water is dispensed in proportion to the amount that your dog drinks. So there is always a full bowl of water for your dog to drink from. When the water in the tank runs out, you simply fill it back up again and replace it on the holder, and then repeat the same steps when the supply runs out again.
One thing to remember is that as with any other dish or bowl that is being used to feed and water your dog, the automatic feeders and waterers become dirty and require cleaning. It’s important that you realize that just because they may be automatic, that doesn’t mean that we can completely ignore all responsibility. They must be kept clean in order to provide your dog with the cleanest, most sanitary source of food and water. Many automatic pet waterers are built with filtration systems that help to keep the water healthy and free of unwanted, harmful substances so this eases some of the responsibility of keeping the water fresh and clean.
Guaranteeing that your dog always has fresh food and water will make your dog’s life a lot more comfortable and having the automatic pet feeder and waterer will make your life as a dog owner or guardian a lot more enjoyable as well.

Raising Baby Chicks?!!!!!!?
I am totally new to this pet chicken thing so need all the advice i can get. I am getting 2 chicks, one rhode island red and one orpington. I have a smallish size dog crate that i am going to use for the first few weeks. Then i need ideas for a cheap/easy to build chicken coop/cage. I live in the city but my backyard is pretty big. Is there anything else i need to know other than basic stuff like feeder & waterers.
See some of the stuff they have at www.mypetchicken.com.
We got a small flock of 10 this past july and we LOVE them!!!! A lot os trial and error with feeders and waterers and such. You just have to see what works for you. There are a lot of plans for coops and just pictures of coops that you can see doing an onilne search. Build what will work for you.
http://www.mypetchicken.com/
They have a very good care guide on the site also. Most of the feeders and waterers they have you can get at your local feed or Ag store.
We built a coop for about $150. It is off the ground and made from very sturdy rough-cut lumber. Predators cannot get in. The chickens free range during the day and every night they go into the coop at dusk. We shut them in for the night for protection. Coops are not that expensive to build….especially for a small flock. And you only need the heat lamps for the first month or so, then they say to NOT provide heat even in the winter. Chickens will adapt to the cold, but they will not adapt as well if they have artifical heat. And if the power goes out, they could freeze.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
