Can dog groomers restraints hurt small dogs.?




i have a 4.5 pound yorkie that after comming back from the groomers coulndt walk or function properly. the vet says that its severe neck trama and it dosent look good for survival. Beings as it happend after the trip to the groomers i wonder if the restraints for the dogs can cause this problem.
There was X rays done, at first it was thought to be a broken next, now its severe trama, Two doctors have looked at it. The dog was limping when my wife picked him up and she thought his hip was out of place so we didnt go to the vet till the next day when the situtation got worse.

Can anyone suggest an infant carrier sling?




I would rather not use the car seat outside of the car. I want to do the "baby-wearing" thing, instead of toting the baby around like a bucket. Any suggestions for <6 mo, and >6 mo?

When I was arrested the cop said I threatened him. I was extremely intoxicated and recall no such thing,however,I could be wrong. So I just want to know if their cars have a second camera pointing towards the back seat so I can have a definitive answer. Not saying the officer is lying but sometimes mistakes are made. Thank you

Child Safety Seat Replacement after a car accident?




I was recently involved in a fender bender. Not much damage but a dented in front corner. Me and my 14 month old son were in the car at the time. I’ve been told that I can get a replacement car seat from the other guys insurance along with my repairs. The damage isn’t bad at all, but i’ve been told that "by law" they are required to replace my child’s car seat. Does anyone know if this is true? Before I go talking to the insurance adjuster talking about "the law", I want to make sure I know what I’m talking about. Can anyone help me out?
by the way, i’m in Texas. It was the other guys fault.
If this is true, a direct link to the information would be helpful. Or something I can tell the insurance company, "look at this".
Thanks

The cover sags in the middle and lets more and more water collect in pockets. If I could put an air bag in the boat it would hold the canvas up and shed the water off. Any suggestions?????

My husband and I are going to be traveling with our 2 sons (18 months and 3 week old) from Illinois to Maine by car. I wanted to know if there are any tips/tricks to traveling that long with a newborn, whether or not I should sit in the back with them, etc. I know there are going to be frequent stops for diaper changes and feeding. We also know its going to take 3 or 4 days or so to get there. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

My son’s stroller is gigantic. I have a lot of running around to do tomorrow and I do not drive. I was thinking of just carrying him on my body but I don’t want him to be uncomfortable…he’s three months old.

Would you suck it up and use the stroller or the carrier?

A guy at my high school had a ‘57 Chevy fuel-injected Bel Air. I recall that it had a carved out bench seat for the floor shifter. I don’t know whether a 3-speed or 4- speed, but I remember the carved out seat.

Am I delusional? I’ve watched numerous car auctions on the tube, and every one of them has a straight bench seat.

Help me out.

I just got two newborn kittens (3 days old) & I have a 7 year old dog. My dog doesn’t freak out when he sees the kittens but when he tries to sniff them we get afraid he might do something because he might think them to be toys.
Also my dog is a german shperd mix, so as you can see hes a biig dog, and the kittens are just soo small.
