Let me start by giving you a few statistics... the average American lives about 80 years that being said there are 24 hours in a day and that average American sleeps about 8 hours each night. Let me break this down a bit more 80 years is about 700,800 hours (lifetime) and like I said the average American sleeps about 8 hours per day or 233,600 in their lifetime. So now to Organic sleeping when you are choosing mattress chemicals do matter. Would you choose to inhale chemicals 8 hours a day or 233,600 hours in your lifetime?Unfortunately, most mattresses are anything but pure. As of July 1, 2007, all U.S. mattresses are required to be a highly flame retardant to the extent that they won't catch on fire if exposed to a blowtorch. This means they may contain flame retardant chemicals. These chemicals, however, are very toxic to the human body. Boric acid, a toxic respiratory irritant used to kill roaches; antimony, a metal that may be more toxic than mercury and formaldehyde, which causes cancer, are some of the other chemicals that lurk in many mattresses — even from some of those "high-end" brands. In most cases, it's virtually impossible to find out what's really in your mattress. Mattress manufacturers are not required to label or disclose which chemicals their mattresses contain. They may even claim that their mattresses are safe when in reality they are not. However, after extensive research, I have found one company who actually has disclosed every single item put into a mattress from them. This company is The Futon Shop MADE IN AMERICA. Sleeping on my mattress is living out of this world!! The prices you pay are completely worth the comfort and your health. The support I received was amazing and they helped to find the perfect fit for exactly what I was looking for. In case by now your wanting to have a look for your new mattress www.thefutonshop.com is the place to buy! My mattress came in a very timely manner quicker than I even expected. When opening up the mattress I found exactly what I expected pictures included below.

Crating a cage cuts down on destruction also is an option when you can’t supervise your pup. But....there are some big challenges along with the cage.... crying, yelping, and barking.

You can distract your dog by giving stuffed, frozen Kongs in the crate. This easy fix will really help! I have four or five stuffed Kongs in my freezer at all times. That way I can just chuck a Kong in the crate with Lilly whenever I run out for errands! Freezing them makes them last a lot longer. Dinner. I like to feed a dog's dinner in the crate. Instead of putting their bowl on the kitchen floor, I just feed dinner in the crate. You can either feed the dogs their dinner when you leave in the crate, or you can let the dog out after dinner. Either way, this is an easy way to start building a good association between your dog and the crate! Toys. My dog is a total squeaky toy nut, so at first, I kept his toys in the crate. He was rewarded for going into the crate by a quick bout of play. It was great to see him start to actually want to go into the crate on his own! Comfort. Make sure the crate is comfy with a comfortable crate mat, a safe chew toy, and something that smells like you! Good Fit. The crate has to fit the dog correctly. Your dog should have room to turn around and stand up, but not much more than that! Is it 110°F today where you live?
