Big Beds

That cute, little adorable pup you got some time ago has now grown up to be like a miniature horse but you still love it dearly. Problem is that the dog wastes no time at all in flattening any dog bed that you buy it. The dog would destroy your bed if you allowed it but you love your dog and want it to be as comfortable as possible when it's time for sleep. Even more so if the dog has come up in years and may not be in the peak of physical shape. How do you help your poor dog? The answer here is Big Barker. Big Barker makes dog bed. Not just your run of the ordinary dog beds either, they make LARGE beds for LARGE dogs! Dogs that normally will flatten a dog bed in, well, nothing flat. Big Barker beds are designed to withstand the extra weight of a larger dog and still allow the dog to be comfortable and supported in the bed. Just like a human would want. It's true, folks, a dog lover does truly treat his dog like a human being. These beds come in three sizes, from large (best for Labs, Golden Retrievers, Boxers, etc.) to giant ( specifically made for Great Danes). They are not as cheap as most dog beds but the value is there because you will not be replacing the dog bed over and over and over. They are designed to last for years. Give your big dog the best of the best. Get him a bed he can use for years and be comfortable in. remember, the alternative might just be that your dog will take over your bed.

High gas prices drive farmer to switch to mules

May 21, 2:53 PM (ET)

MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - High gas prices have driven a Warren County farmer and his sons to hitch a tractor rake to a pair of mules to gather hay from their fields. T.R. Raymond bought Dolly and Molly at the Dixon mule sale last year. Son Danny Raymond trained them and also modified the tractor rake so the mules could pull it.

T.R. Raymond says the mules are slower than a petroleum-powered tractor, but there are benefits.

"This fuel's so high, you can't afford it," he said. "We can feed these mules cheaper than we can buy fuel. That's the truth."

And Danny Raymond says he just likes using the mules around the farm.

"We've been using them quite a bit," he said.

Brother Robert Raymond added, "It's the way of the future."

British pet psychic helps find lost dog

British pet psychic helps find lost dog

LONDON (UPI) -- A British woman said her missing Jack Russell terrier was excited to return home after a psychic used supernatural methods to pinpoint his location.

Nikki Newcombe, 35, was relieved to have her dog, Marmite, return home after he spent a week stranded in a hole, the Mirror reported.

Newcombe went to Pea Horsley, a London woman who says she has psychic abilities, for help after having no luck finding the lost pooch on her own.

Horsley used her abilities to tell Newcombe about landmarks the dog traveled past before falling into the hole, the Mirror said.

Sure enough, Newcombe took Horsley's advice and found Marmite barking from a hole in the ground.

"It's one of the quickest I've found," Horsley said.
