LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Whenever I get the chance to create, I push myself to achieve a final piece that is outside the boundaries of what the project entails. I have not stylized or created many magazines in my life, but this experience has been like no other. I enjoy mixing different layouts and design styles that are non traditional to the magazine realm in order to make my imprint in this section of the design world as best as I am able. Seeing a non traditional creation satisfies the mini artist in me. I aspire to be different. I aspire to push the boundaries of any aspect in life that I can each and every day to ensure I am getting the most out of life and putting my all into projects as such so it serves as a non verbal representation of myself foe the public to enjoy. Only being a second year graphic design student at Woodbury University, this was an amazing semester long project that was full of challenges that have come with their highs and lows to finally be topped off with a finished magazine

Water Tempurature.

This is probably the most common problem that makes turtles want to get out of their tank. Turtles need a temperature between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit ( 24 and 27 degrees Celsius). They can live in water that is slightly colder or slightly warmer, but if the difference is too big they will try to get out and find a

Basking Area.

If you are a complete beginner when it comes to turtles and you don’t know too much about them, then it’s possible that you don’t know that turtles need a basking area.A basking area is an area close to the tank where turtles can stay on dry land and get UVB light and heat for their body.

Scared.

If you just got your turtle, then it’s absolutely normal for it to behave strangely. So it’s really common to see a turtle trying to escape during the first days in a new home.Turtles can get scared very easily, and moving from a place to another can be very frightening for them. They will go from a small cramped tank, that they share with multiple turtles, to a new spacious tank where they can live alone.

Until recently, the United States had at least 18 cat islands and Australia at one time had 15.

Then again, Japan does regard treats cats a little differently. It’s worth noting that the same paper that reported the amount of cat islands for the U.S. and Australia was also concerned with eradicating the cat populations on those islands.

For some, culling the cat populations on Aoshima might seem like a good idea because, as it turns out, large groups of cats can create a stressful environment. Researchers studying Aoshima have learned that cats arrange themselves in hierarchies, where males compete. for territory and their female

Perry’s Place Adoption Center

Los Angeles’ best family owned and opperated place to find your furry friend.

No Really, Come Here. Perry’s Place Cares. Avoid The Mills!

You should adopt a dog from a reputable shelter and not buy a puppy from a pet store or on Craigslist, because you may end up with a puppy mill dog.I think the United States is starting to finally crack down more on the puppy mill issue, but they are still out there. Puppy mill dogs can have a host of health and behavior issues. You may be one of those unique people that want to save these dogs, but it can take a lot of money and patience to truly rehabilitate a puppy mill dog. Some states are actually passing laws to ban pet stores from selling dogs, they can only showcase dogs adoptable from local shelters and rescue. Okay, I really love the yellow lab that we adopted, he is a big handsome guy with his own funny personality. But he looks like many others. yellow

Our adoption numbers have increased as well, from 52 in 2011 to 614 in 2021. Ths proved to be great news as a flood of new kittens had

Puppy mills are commercial breeding facilities that mass-produce dogs (and cats in cat mills) for sale through pet stores, or directly to consumers through classified ads or the Internet. Roughly 90 percent of puppies in pet stores come from puppy mills. Many retailers who buy animals from such facilities take the wholesaler’s word that the animals are happy and healthy without seeing for themselves. In most states, these commercial breeding kennels can legally keep hundreds of dogs in cages their entire lives, for the sole purpose of continuously churning out puppies. The animals produced range from purebreds to any number of the latest “designer” mixed breeds. Cat breeding occurs under similar conditions to supply pet stores with kittens.

Amazon’s Best Pet Buys of 2022

From toys, to trinkets and blankets to biscuits, Amazon has your back for times where you need to spoil your furry friend.

A little fancy water fountain your cat will love. fIf you’ve done any research into cat water fountains, you’ve almost certainly run into the flower design. They all share in common a plastic flower resembling a daisy, which divides the water pumped up from the reservoir beneath, forming multiple that tumble into a shallow.

The tracker is completely waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about it going on the fritz if your dog decides to take an unexpected dip. It also uses a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular tech to pinpoint your dog’s location with stunning accuracy. It won’t just help you locate your lost pet — it will also help you prevent them from getting too lost in the first place. The device will notify you if your dog leaves your home or yard, so you’ll have plenty of time to stop them from getting away. This dog gadget is more than just a homing beacon for your pup, though. If you use the companion app, you can track your dog’s sleep patterns, check their activity, and check how much they weigh..

It’s especially good for multi-dog households. You can program it to recognize each individual dog’s microchip, so it will only open up the appropriate food chamber for whichever dog is standing in front of it at the time. If you have a pup that steals food from their brothers and sisters, this machine will put a stop to it. You can program it to recognize as many as 32 different microchips, so you (hopefully) won’t run out of space. It’s only for small breeds. though, so you’ll need to find something else to feed your Rottweiler. This makes it easy to control portion sizes if your dog needs to lose.

The bones cook in just a few minutes, allowing you to whip up a snack for your pooch in no time at all.The bones tend to be a little soft, making them ideal for senior dogs.
