The park has a multitude of smells, sights, and sounds that your dog doesn't encounter every day in his domestic life.  The plants and animals, as well as the other dogs and their humans, make the park a place of endless wonder and excitement for a doggy. If the weather and facilities allow, your pet may want to go for a swim.  However, beware of waterborne illness and only allow your pet to swim in and drink clean waters. Being surrounded with too many dogs can be bad for the dogs.  Crowding can lead to aggression and stress for dogs who are poorly socialized. Most dogs and their humans go to the park in the evening or on weekends.  Try to avoid these most busy times. The kind of park experience your doggy has depends on his or her reproductive status, size, and general attitude.  If your dog is small, don’t let him or her play with or near larger dogs; typically, there is a separate area for smaller dogs. Try not to bring dogs younger than 12 weeks old to the dog park.  Not only could they get trampled, but their immune systems may not have fully developed yet.  If your dog isn’t spayed or neutered, do not let him or her play with doggies of the opposite sex. If your dog is not well-socialized, avoid letting them play with many other dogs.  Give them a chance to understand how to interact one-on-one before leaving them to a large crowd.  Dogs who are very territorial might try to pick a fight with the wrong dog and get hurt. Some dog parks can be quite expansive, and are usually leash-free, meaning the dogs can roam wherever they want to within the bounds of the park.  Stay nearby and don't let them wander too far afield.  Don’t spend all your time looking at your phone, reading a book, or chatting with a friend.  While humans as well as dogs can find valuable social time at the dog park, keep your canine friend first and foremost in your mind. Pay attention to your dog’s movements and moods, and encourage them when they see or discover something neat (“Yes, that’s a very fast squirrel over there!”)  Treat your doggy as you would your baby and shower them with attention. Like people, not all dogs can get along.  If you see trouble brewing, recall your dog immediately.  Step in front of your dog if you need to remind them you’re there.  In the event of a conflict, recall your dog immediately. Don’t confuse play with conflict.  Just because your dog and another are barking at each other doesn’t mean they are fighting.  Signs of play include: Barking or growling Playful nips, not full bites Side-to-side, rather than forward movement Rear quarters up with front legs outstretched   Signs of real trouble include:  Staring at one another Snarling (lifting the lips and revealing teeth)  Arched neck Stiff legs Don’t leave empty dog treat boxes or bags on the grass or tables.  And under no circumstances should you leave your dog poo behind. Bring some vinyl gloves, a plastic bag, paper towels, and sanitary wipes with you just in case Fido has to do some business.

Summary: Take your dog to the dog park. Think of the best time to go. Find an appropriate space for your dog. Pay attention to your dog. Look out for conflicts. Leave nothing behind.


Get more use out of the same dry Swiffer cloth by using the second side once the first has become dirty. While the sides are slightly different textures, they work equally well for picking up dust and dirt.  Simply shake out or gently wipe away any loose debris from the dirty side of the cloth when you notice it is no longer picking up dirt, then flip it over and reattach it to your Swiffer to continue cleaning. Note that you can do this with wet Swiffer cloths, as well as your own reusable cloths. Reuse the standard dry Swiffer cloths as long as possible by washing them between uses. Put them in a gentle cycle or wash by hand to keep them clean.  Stick cloths in a mesh laundry bag meant for delicates before you put them in the washing machine. Set your washer to a gentle cycle setting to wash, then hang the cloth to dry before use.  Cloths won’t come out perfectly clean from the washer, but they can be effective for several washes. Discard them once they are torn or no longer clean well. Purchase refills of dry or wet cloths from a generic store brand rather than Swiffer brand itself. This can save money while being just as effective.  Look in the cleaning supply sections of major chain grocery, discount, and big-box stores. You’ll find the store brand version of many items next to or near the name brand, typically at very reduced prices. You should also be able to wash and use both sides of generic brand cloths to make them last longer.

Summary: Use the other side of Swiffer cloths. Throw Swiffer cloths in the washing machine. Buy generic brand cloths.


Place 6 catfish filets (6-8 oz.) of fish in the basket. Combine 1/3 cup of lemon juice, 3 tbsp. of melted butter, and 1 tbsp. of lemon pepper seasoning together in a small bowl. Use a brush to cover the fillets with the mixture. Close the cover. The fish should flake on each side if you touch it with a fork. Continue to baste the fish while it's cooking. Serve this grilled catfish with mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables.
Summary: Coat a basket with cooking spray. Place the fish in the coated grilling basket. Combine the lemon juice, butter, and lemon pepper seasoning together. Brush the fillets with the butter mixture. Place the basket on your grill. Grill the fish over medium coals over 300-400ºF (148-204ºC) heat for about 6-8 minutes on each side. Serve.
