Abandoning Animals

By

Abandoning Animalsabandoned animal

People give up pets for a number of reasons. Sometimes it’s because they must suddenly move somewhere that doesn’t allow animals, or they didn’t realize the commitment involved with sharing their home with a pet. Whatever the reason, these animals deserve a fair shot at finding someone that can properly care for them.

Although pets can be brought to a shelter or rescue, many are abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes that domestic pets don’t usually survive for very long on their own.

Abandoned animals usually suffer

Pets that are abandoned are more likely to suffer injuries or death, than they are to find a new home. Inexperienced pets often wander into roads, rivers or other dangerous situations. They can be attacked by wild animals or suffer silently from parasites and life-threatening infections. Those that escape these fates must still find food and clean water. These simple things that were once provided for them every day will never come easy for them again.

Some of these animals will be picked up by animal control. Unfortunately, many will be too sick or too fearful to find homes and will be euthanized upon arriving at the shelter.

You have options

No matter what kind of situation you are in, you should sever abandon an animal. Taking your pet to the shelter or even having them euthanized are more humane options than abandonment. If you have some time, try to locate a rescue that can help you. If you have a purebred dog or cat, check with one of the many local breed specific rescues. Your pet is relying on you to do the right thing for them.

Threaded Daisies offers topical T-shirts for animal lovers. We believe that every animal deserves to be safe and cared for. For more information about our shirts, please contact us.

Why You Shouldn’t Ever Leave Your Dog in Your Car

Why You Shouldn’t Ever Leave Your Dog in Your Carno dog in car

The warmer weather is upon us in Southern California and many of us are starting to spend more time outdoors. A lot of us enjoy the company of our dog while we’re out and about. While it’s ok to take your dog with you if you will be going to the park or beach, it might best to leave them home while you’re out running errands.

If you take your dog with you everywhere you go, it’s important that you never leave them in the car, even for a just few minutes. The consequences of doing so can be severe under conditions much milder than you might realize. The intense heat inside a vehicle, regardless of the make or model, can be brutal and unrelenting.

How dogs deal with heat

A dog’s primary defenses against the heat are panting and their coat. Panting releases moisture and their coat is specially designed to provide insulation against the sun’s rays. The average body temperature for an adult dog ranges from 99.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

What happens to a dog in a hot car?

When a dog is left in a hot car, they pant to keep cool. The more they pant the more body fluid they lose. Even after just a few minutes, a dog can develop symptoms of non-fever hyperthermia or heat stroke. The longer a dog is subjected to intense heat, the greater the chance that it will affect all of their vital systems. Even though senior dogs and puppies are at the greatest risk, dogs of any age that are left in a hot car can suffer from multiple organ failure and/or death.

How hot is too hot?

Vehicles are built from materials that trap, conduct and distribute heat. Parking under a shady tree, using a reflective dashboard or windshield cover or leaving the windows open only makes a very small difference. The interior of a vehicle gets extremely hot, very quickly. The air temperature only needs to be between 81 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit for a dog to begin showing signs of heat distress. If it is 89 degrees outside, the interior of your vehicle can reach 123 degrees within just 30 minutes.

What to do if you see a dog alone in a car

If you see a dog alone in a parked vehicle you should always attempt to locate the owner. Write down the vehicle’s license plate just in case legal action is necessary. Alert the local authorities. If you feel that you must intervene, remember that you do so at your own risk.

Custom Shirts

By

Custom Shirtsadult-heather_nl_glutenintolerant

Recently a customer asked me to make some custom shirts for his girlfriend. These were customizations of a shirt design that I had already created. I went back and forth trying to decide if I wanted to open that door. I ended up agreeing, and the process went extremely smoothly. It went so well in fact that I started to consider offering custom shirts to everyone. This decision was not easy for me because of my last business.

I used to sew children’s clothing and accessories. I had set styles and I offered custom fabrics. While I had a set number of fabrics that I offered, it seemed like everyone wanted something different. I would drive to five or six fabric shops looking for “blue frogs on a yellow background” or something just as specific. I lost pretty much all of my profit in gas back then.

After a while, people started asking me to make things that weren’t related to children. The requests got stranger and stranger and I ended up nauseous even looking at my sewing machine. I gave up that business and didn’t sew anything (including for my own children) for over three years. Needless to say I didn’t want to go down that road again.

However, I realized that I could do things differently this time. I could set guidelines for what I will and won’t do. Most importantly, I can say “no” if the request is too difficult. So while I’m not going to create any random idea that you can think up, I’m pleased to say that I will be offering customization of any of my shirt designs.

If you are interested in one of my designs but want different wording (or more words), please send me a message. For example, if you like my “Intolerant To” shirt but have different intolerances than what are listed, I can probably make that work for you. That is the design I recently customized.

Also, if you want a different style shirt than what is offered, please ask. I can’t make any guarantees on this one as there are only certain types of shirts that can be printed direct to garment. I promise to answer you quickly and honestly though. I will tell you if what you’re asking is possible and what it will cost you. I’m surprisingly easy to work with.

For all questions about customization, please contact me.

As a Mom, I understand the importance of comfortable, durable and machine washable clothing for the entire family.

Eco-Friendly Inks

Our original designs are printed with eco-friendly, water-based inks that have been certified as safe for use on adult, youth and infant garments. These innovative and gentle inks bind directly with the cotton fibers in our premium T-shirts, making the design feel like part of the fabric. This creates a softer and more lightweight shirt without the heavy or thick feeling typically associated with printed shirts.

Choose Compassion

By

Choose Compassionchoose-compassion_adult_white_nl

Compassion is one of the many feelings embedded in love. Compassionate people care about the happiness of others as if it were their own. They keep an open heart to their surroundings and provide genuine help when needed. Compassionate people make the world a better place.

Choosing compassion is about so much more than just caring about others. When you choose compassion you make a conscious effort to reduce suffering and improve life for all species, including your own.

Showing Compassion

People that embrace compassion do everything in their power to prevent and eliminate suffering. This might include not eating meat or other animal products or not using products that have been tested on animals. Regardless, a compassionate person will always show kindness to every living being that they encounter.

Compassionate people tend to be more outwardly focused. They use their personal experiences to develop a more empathetic nature. This helps them to understand others so that they are able to help when needed.

Compassion Is Good For You

Feelings of compassion or love towards other people or animals can make a person feel better overall. This is because compassion heals the soul and makes us feel whole. While it might feel good to be loved, loving someone or something actually feels much better.

Spreading Compassion

A major component of compassion is giving back. Actions that are caring and loving allow us to feel more love in return. Most people report that volunteering provides them with some of the most memorable, rewarding and character-building experiences that life can offer. However, when you give back, you gain far more than mere experience. You learn compassion, which is quite possibly the greatest gift that you can receive.

Compassionate people show real interest in something they fully understand. They are well-educated on the issue at hand. If they aren’t, they will take the time necessary to listen and learn. Understanding is a crucial part of true compassion.

Threaded Daisies offers topical T-shirts for the entire family. Our Choose Compassion T-shirt is available for infants, toddlers, children and adults.  For information about Threaded Daisies, please click here.
