HEY GUYS! I'm back! Yes, you heard (well, read) that correctly. I got my laptop fixed and I'm really excited to be back writing for you guys! I've missed being on the game and around chat and I hope you guys missed me too! I'm really sorry for not being here but I'm going to be here a lot in the future! =)

SO, let's start the new year in a positive manner with yet another dog care article from RSK. It's a little late putting up so sorry again. I think we should all say a little thank you to RSK, I mean... she's so helpful with the newspaper and writes the most interesting articles. I hope you've all learned something off her, I know I have. Thank you!

Dog Care Article - January - Skin Conditions

Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't been able to bring this article to you sooner, i've been very busy for various reasons. Anyways, In this article I'm going to help you tackle your dog's skin conditions.

Skin conditions are very common in dogs, and some can be easily tackled by lifestyle change, diets or remedies.

Here are some main conditions in dogs.

Hotspots

Hotspots are mainly found in the Summer, more so on bigger dogs such as Rottweilers, Labradors and Boxers. These are odd circular dry patches on your dog's body, the effected area will go bald, and maybe weep a little. They are called Hotspots because in hot conditions, the sun drys out a spot of the dog's body. Hotspots are cureable and easily - but may cause a little discomfort for your dog.

First of all, if you notice a hotspot, bath with cool water to clean it out, and use an antiseptic cream - this can be a special pet cream, or a human cream (make sure it's not a chemical one). Just keep an eye on the Hotspot, and try to prevent your dog from nibbling or biting it, licking it can be encouraged, and before you know it, your hotspot is gone.

Bald Elbows

If your dog has Bald Elbows, i'm sorry, but your dog is overweight! Feel where it's ribs are, and if you cannot feel them easily, your dogs needs a diet! Don't go to extreme matters and starve your poor dog, as you can kill it! As it's not something urgent, it just may not help in the longterm, especialy if your dog is young. Just cut down on the food in his/her bowl, make sure there is water acessable at all times, and try to avoid titbits (human food off plates) and don't overfeed treats, also make sure your dog has enough excersise. Please consult a vet before doing so - as it might not be the case. 

Mange

Mange is a very serious condition, and will need vet treatment immediatly. You will notice mange if your dog has dry spots everywhere, and it's fur is in poor condition. Please do not take your dog to the park or near other dogs if your dog has mange, as other dogs can catch it. To avoid mange, keep your dog clean, groomed and healthy - and free of fleas. If your dog's mange is really bad, it may need it's fur shaved off - and i'm not joking. It's very seriouse.

Thats all for now, and we'll be back next time with the Dog Walking article. :) ~ Rsk

Anyway, I'm here to announce the contest results. The winners are as follows:

In first place is Team Jacob's Twilight Pedigrees.

Second place is [PBP]PitbullPride.

Coming in third place is Official Rsk.

The White wolf walks through the forest, through the snow.

Searching for something that only she and another know

She is barely visable in the in the powder, Like a needle in a haystack.

She is soon greeted By an ebony wolf with pups on his back.

This is her family, Her little Bit of heaven

The number is equal to seven.

They walk of in the snow, like a shadow unable to be seen clearly.

They greet other pack members, and they greet them dearly.

The pack lets out howls of joy and pride.

Little do they know that a important member has died...

Congratulations to those of you who won! It was hard decision but I could only pick three winners. The money will be sent to the winners and those of you who entered. Happy Holidays~!

Give A Dog Returns

Some of you may remember back in the good old days when you could give one of your dogs to another member. That was all fine and dandy, however there was no way for you to decline taking the dog. Well, now there is! The give dog features is back and better than ever. Now you can give your dogs to another member, or move them to a different account without having to buy and sell them back and forth.

The member you give your dog to has 7 days to accept the offer. After the 7 days are up the dog will be all yours again. As an added security feature, if you try to give your dog to another member it will automatically be removed from sale.
