You may notice that your dog does not really seem to use its whiskers for anything, so why are they even there?

The whiskers along your dog’s face tend to lay back and never really move, but they are there to serve an important function.

Dogs do not really use their whiskers in the same manner that cats do (cats use them for balance). A dog’s purpose of having whiskers is to have yet another “sensory” ability. Whiskers on a dog function as a means to sense things like air movement or its own body movement. When a dog “fans’ out its whiskers, it is trying to sense something using ALL of its sensory abilities.

Cats do not usually go too close to candles because they do omit heat, but being safe is always a priority. Your cat, not paying any attention to a burning candle, may knock it over by accident with its tail or from jumping off a surface near a candle.

Your best defense against accidents like these is to only buy candles in metal tins or glass jars. They are heavier, they burn longer, and are not restricted to certain spots they can be placed for use.

With any type of open flame, never leave a burning candle unattended, for your cat’s safety and yours.

Before you buy material to replace all the screens, you may want to buy some paprika from the spice area at your grocery store.

Paprika is a fantastic means of deterring your dog from even going close to the new screens. Because your dog’s sense of smell is hundreds of times stronger than yours, the paprika is far too potent for your dog to take.

Coat the new screens in paprika by just rubbing it on and that’s it. Your dog will not be happy, but you are saving your screens.
