i need something to hold down the aluminum foil for my tart.
If you intend on keeping it long I would have it a good bath and make sure to get all the undercoat outThe undercoat will insulate and can cause hot spotsIt is also flea season and ticks are rapid this year so you will want to make sure that the yard has been treated and house and lastly you re petsA long haired dog it will be harder to see these pests At least get a sanitary cut that is around the potty area and have a groomer go up further on the belly than normal Dogs do need a cool floor to stay cool also I do like to see snow dogs like huskies and spits-es to get cut downThey are meant to live in very cold climates and a hot summer is too much for there coatKnow where you re dog is from and the claimant that there coat is meant for that should help you decideA cold climate dog in a warm place needs a summer cut IT WILL BE BACK BEFORE IT IS TOO COLD Note most hot climate dogs have very short coats IE A Chihuahua and most cold climate dogs will have longer coats this is for cold not heat Germansheperds, Huskies Samoyed.
Instead of shaving him what I do with my dog that has a pretty thick coat is that I make him (yes it sounds gross) but I put milk ice and dog treats in a blender and make a doggie slushieYou can put whatever your dogs likes in it or you can buy Frosty Paws in the icecream section in your local grocery storeI live on a lake so my dog goes swimming to cool off but you can always hose your dog off if your dont have a lakeAlso make sure your dog has a nice shady place in your yard and make sure he always has nice cold water to drinkhope this helpsI think itll be nicer than shaving your dogit has its nice long coat for a reason right? so let it keep it! but its totally up to you and your dog : ]
Depending on breed of dogSome long coats are necessary for insulation from the elementsCan you keep your dog indoors ? If not, offer a doghouse, plenty of shade, alot of cool water, maybe a doggie pool, a mister set up to a watering hose might also workthey also make cooling vests/scarves to put on the dogs when you are out walkingBut only walk the dogs early morning or late evening w/ the sun is not at its peak and the pavement is not scorching.
I'm thinking that you must not be able to trim or cut him/herMaybe type of dog would not look good cutIf okay to trim then get that pooch a style for summerAlso try to keep water available at all timesoutside get a kids pool (hard plastic) fill it up and let um have funMy dog luvs her pooldon't forget to keep up with the brushing to remove any loose hairHave a great Summer!
Traditionally cooks have used dried beans These beans are reused for this purpose because using the beans for blind baking a pastry shell dries out the beans making them tough if prepared for eating Some people have also used unglazed ceramic clay marbles that have been bisque fired EDIT Mike has a good point about not using polymer clay because of heat in baking pastry releasing undesired fumes in polymer clay
