All of them at wal-mart and pet-co are tawdry. I want a good sturdy material that will be easy to wipe down like microfiber or leather.

A: Conjecture it or not, Tractor Supply has some great dog beds at a reasonable price.

Boost! I live in Palm Springs, CA (Zone 9) and have a garden bed (about 10' x 4') next to a pool. My dog goes in the bring and comes out near the bed, saturating the bed. I need some plant(s) that would look good together... have color... and would stand sun (morning to 4pm... then shade)... and not grow so tall as to obstruct the view of the pool.

I have a Labrador x Doberman called Mabel, shes entirely a large dog (its the Labrador in her). But we don't overfeed her, she just steals food from ANYWHERE she can- the bins, people's provisions on the table, horse feed, the cats food. So that is why she is overweight.
But the problem is, these past couple of days she has refused to eat. At first I hope it was just because she had stolen so much food she was just too full. But she's laying in her bed and won't get up....

Do not let your dog watch USA Network's new White Collar .

The likable show, premiering Friday at 10 p.m., has something for everyone: handsome young star, sympathetic "older" costar, pretty former TV hottie, easy-to-follow caper plots, a little humor.

Tonight, the workaholic FBI agent (played by Tim DeKay, 46) loses track of time on the big case. His wife (Tiffani Thiessen, who has dropped the "Amber" since Beverly Hills, 90210 and is all the way up to 35 years old) has a nice dinner ready when he calls to apologize.

Instead, the dog gets it, sitting in a chair at the dining room table, wolfing (or maybe just dogging) the food off a china plate. So many people model their behavior after what they see on TV. Imagine what dogs will do if they see this.
