Puddles Weblog edited by Thomas Hollyday

Our Mission: As world water resources decline and habitat is destroyed plans are being made by governments to save enough drinking water for humans. What about animals and wildlife?

In 1985 our editor Thomas Hollyday created Puddles to comment on our culture, our literature and our organizations and make sure animals and wildlife are remembered in this coming water crisis. Join him and others on the Puddles weblog with your comments and questions to make sure animals and wildlife are always protected with an adequate supply of clean drinking water.

Puddles weblog is named for Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, the home of the greatest animal champion in literature, Doctor John Dolittle, MD. Join us now!

02/22/2006: "Pets & wildlife on Family Dog article"

Family Dog magazine in its September/October 2005 issue has an informative article by Eve Adamson about the art and technique of getting rid of mats in the fur of pets. First you use a coat conditioning spray to make the mat easier to untangle. Then you work the mat into smaller sections using a comb. It’s easier, she writes, to get at the mat if it is in sections. Third, you split the sections of mat into even smaller pieces. Fourth, you pick out the small bits. Finally you wash your pet. To keep down mats, brush as often as you can. She also lists the best equipment to buy for your mat work. Good article. Get a copy.
