since its summer and getting hot: dont shave ur huskies/any double coated dog

Wait how come?

its because theyre double coated and if you shave them that coat will never grow in correctly again. it will permanently mess up their ability to thermoregulate bc they dont have their different fur layers to insulate them or use for sun protection. heres a link going into a little more detail why 

Shaving your husky can actually raise the chances of it suffering from heat stroke! The best thing to do in summer months is to comb out the undercoat that’s already shedding on its own using a rake. It looks like this:

This takes time. If you don’t have time to maintain their coat, don’t get a husky. On a side note, the Furminator grooming tool seems popular, but can cause damage to the coat if overused or used improperly. Do your research before using it.

so excited we finally signed up for a produce box and now we get to have a weekly delivery of local organic seasonal produce for only $15!! we’re gonna save a fuckton on groceries cause that is what almost all our grocery money goes to! i highly encourage you to check out the local csa boxes in your area if you have the option, they support your local farmers + often work to help food security in your area thru donating produce + offering highly reduced rates for those with food stamps its really dope! plus you get great produce for like 1/8 what you pay at the grocery store!

I cosign this wholeheartedly.

Additionally, it’s the Green™ option.

In the US, food travels an average of 1500 miles from farm to plate. Sometimes it’s even further–my local grocery store stocks bell peppers that came all the way from Holland. They weren’t being touted as “luxury” peppers or anything; they were ordinary peppers that just so happened to come all the way from Europe to be eaten.

If your situation allows it, definitely look into local produce as an option!
