I know, I know... bath mats? But, hear me out.

There's no foam for those super chewers to eat and/or destroy. They wash in a washing machine with ease, and they're cost effective!

My tip is to get the kind that is "like a towel", no rubber backing, no special features, and definitely not filled with anything.

This is the idea - https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-Cotton-Reversible-Bath-Rug-Nimbus-Blue-17-x-24/2BMHD4SY3D87?selectedSellerId=0&cmpid=SEM_CA_32613_SWQ2SLIHH8&utm_id=SEM_CA_32613_SWQ2SLIHH8&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=always_on&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20038495635&gbraid=0AAAAADv6L0SWLf1Oyi0sjQs5uPgtN1fsR&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3qLSBhDaARIsAFTiVh7NFKBv0_4MJ5Mx9v-wahMXQOPLATD5QJKyin0jmX-jXAg9ap_ifx8aAj-zEALw_wcB

I searched "Cotton Terry Bath Mat"

I know, they aren't cute, they aren't fancy, but if your dog happens to pull off a few strands, or ingests some of the bedding, it "should" pass easier than stuffing/foam or some other materials. Sometimes utility in the place of fancy will help to determine if your pup is "ready" for a big fancy bed. Some dogs push them to the side and prefer the cool/hard ground.

I was asked today about nail clippers. These are my FAVE clippers ever!

Hope you give them a try on your next nail trim day.

All kinds of FAQ and fun links

Last year WIX changed their platform for this "area" on my website from a Forum to what they call Groups. In that change, all my posts were saved, BUT there are no members in any of my pre-2025 groups.

I hope this will trigger some kind of notification, the posts in this group specifically are important to review, they have some really interesting information, great topics and somethings that I've learned along the way!

Hope you all enjoy the information provided.

Talk soon,

Joce

Welcome to our group Ausable River Australian Shepherds Group! A space for us to connect and share with each other. Start by posting your thoughts, sharing media, or creating a poll.

Guys, we had a BLAST!

I wanted to create a new post to encourage us all to share places we've been and LOVE that are dog friendly. It's so hard sometimes to travel with dogs, but this weekend we went to an Air BnB that was pet friendly, had so many accommodations for the dogs, dog beds in every room, blankets, towels, bowls, a pool and a great yard(though unfenced) for running around.

The dog show we were at was hosted by a Dog friendly winery! There are trails and events there, the patio is dog friendly and all their drinks are dog themed!

Here are some links!

Some of our FAVOURITE Crates

Plastic for Puppies - easy to clean, they feel safer, less anxiety with sightlines(wire crates may make them feel exposed), messes stay contained within the kennel.

https://rufflandkennels.com/product-category/kennels/ These kennels are WONDERFUL. So easy to clean, so easy to nest together, great for travel in the car(SO Safe!). Boys up to +55lbs can fit into the Intermediate HOWEVER, I do suggest the Large for dogs that are 55lbs if it's being used for overnight's/longer hours of use.

Large size - 35" / 22" / 26"

Intermediate - 30" / 20" / 23"

#400 vari kennel - 31"/20"/26" (Fit's my biggest boys with room to move)
