Should Dogs Wear A Coat in Cold Snowy Weather

When it is cold or snowy outside – should you put a coat on your dog?

They are all over Insta, TikTok and more, adorable pets frolicking in the snow with a warm, smart jacket. But should dogs wear a coat in the cold snowy weather? As winter sets in, many pet owners wonder about the need to wear coats when it’s cold outside. The answer depends on several factors, including the dog’s breed, size, age, and health. Here’s a look at when dogs might benefit from wearing coats in cold weather.
Alaskan Malamutes, Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Saint Bernards, and Siberian Huskies were specifically bred with thick fur designed to insulate and protect them from snow or cold weather. But others might need some help. Signs your dog is cold – shivering, whining, cowering, lifting their paws off the ground, hunched posture with their tail tucked under and extreme tiredness. The benefits of wearing a coat is it protects from the elements like rain, snow, and wind and comfortable for dogs with sensitive skin. The coats should be easy to clean and comfortable for dogs with sensitive skin

Here are suggestions for knowing if your dog needs a coat.

Breed and Size: Small or thin-furred breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Greyhounds, often struggle to retain heat in cold conditions. Similarly, slender breeds like Whippets and short-haired dogs like Great Danes may need extra warmth. Breeds of dogs who are generally clipped, like all three sizes of poodles, or individual dogs who have had their coat shaved or clipped, won’t have the natural insulation and protection that a longer coat normally provides. These dogs can become cold quickly when outside and may need coats to stay warm in winter weather.

On the other hand, dogs with thick double coats, such as Huskies and Malamutes, are generally well-insulated against the cold.

Age and Health: Puppies and senior dogs are more susceptible to cold temperatures due to their less efficient body heat regulation. Dogs with chronic health conditions, such as arthritis or hypothyroidism, may also appreciate the warmth a coat provides.

Weather Conditions: Extreme cold, snow, ice, and wind can make a coat necessary for dogs that would otherwise not need one. Waterproof or water-resistant coats are particularly useful in wet condition

When selecting a coat for your dog, consider the following:

Material: Choose materials that provide warmth without overheating, such as wool or fleece. Waterproof fabrics are ideal for wet conditions.

Fit: Ensure the coat fits well to avoid discomfort or restriction of movement. Some dogs can get the most all-over protection from cold weather with a snowsuit or bodysuit. These coats cover your dog’s entire body, including their legs. These bodysuits are especially beneficial for lean-bodied or hairless dogs with longer legs who are susceptible to cold weather.

Comfort: Don’t force your dog to wear a coat if they seem stressed or uncomfortable. Before expecting your dog to be comfortable going outside and playing in a jacket, it’s important to appropriately introduce the jacket to your dog instead of just putting it on and expecting your dog to accept it. By introducing the jacket in advance and making it a positive experience for your dog, you’ll ensure that your dog is comfortable wearing their coat and will be ready to play in the snow and walk in the winter weather with you.

While not all dogs need coats in cold weather, certain breeds, ages, and health conditions can make them a necessity. Always observe your dog’s behavior and adjust their winter routine accordingly. If you’re unsure, consulting with a veterinarian can provide personalized advice tailored to your dog’s specific needs.

Where Is Cannabis In The Ordo Amoris

The phrase has become popular, so why not share marijuana’s place in it?

Politicians have made the phrase popular with a modern interpretations, but it has people thinking. Where is cannabis in the Ordo Amoris? This ancient Catholic phrase has become today popular, but is an ancient concept rooted in Christian theology, particularly in the works of St. Augustine and St.Thomas Aquinas. It is usually translated as “order of love” or “rightly ordered love,” is it emphasizes the importance of prioritizing one’s affections and responsibilities in a hierarchical manner.

People prioritize in a variety of ways, and it seems lately, people have been moving marijuana above alcohol, long the favorite intoxicant of choice.  But younger generations are moving away from it causing angst in the liquor industry.  California sober has become a thing where people leave booze for marijuana. And the big alcohol companies have seen drop in both sales and expanded markets. They have made major investments in marijuana and in come cases, hemp.

The concept suggests love should be ordered with God as the primary focus, followed by oneself, family, neighbors, and then the broader community. The hierarchy is not meant to diminish the importance of loving all people but acknowledges that certain relationships carry more immediate obligations.

While there is a general hierarchy, the application of ordo amoris can vary based on circumstances. For instance, in cases of extreme need, one might prioritize a stranger over a family member if the stranger’s need is more urgent.

St. Augustine discussed the concept in his works, such as “City of God” and “On Christian Doctrine,” emphasizing that love should be directed appropriately to avoid sin. He noted that all people should be loved equally, but special regard should be given to those closer to us by circumstance. St. Thomas Aquinas expanded on Augustine’s ideas in his “Summa Theologica,” highlighting the importance of loving God first and then prioritizing those closest to us, such as family and community.

Of course, people interrupt to fit there needs, but basically it all comes to do well be other and treat others like yourself.  Although, the trend tends allows you move away form the love of alcohol to the more healthier love of cannabis.

A Quick Lesson In The Difference In Whiskeys

Sometimes Mondays can be a bit much – so here are some tidbits of humor to make it a bit better.

Whiskey is considered one of the most popular alcoholic beverages globally, with a large market value and consistent consumption across many countries including India, the US, China, Europe and the UK.  It is a classic liquor with many faces, be it Malt, Japanese, or Bourbon….here is a quick lesson in the difference in whiskeys.

Before diving into the specifics, it’s worth noting that both “whiskey” and “whisky” are correct spellings. The difference lies in regional preference: American and Irish producers typically use “whiskey,” while Scotland, Canada, and much of Europe prefer “whisky”

RELATED: Rainy Weather Cocktails

Scotch Whisky is produced exclusively in Scotland and is known for its rich history and strict production regulations. It is typically made from malted barley, though some grain Scotch is also produced. The process involves malting, fermentation, distillation, and aging in oak barrels for at least three years. Scotch can be categorized into several types, including Single Malt Scotch, which is made from malted barley at a single distillery, and Blended Scotch, which combines different single malts with grain whisky.

Japanese Whisky is modeled after Scotch traditions but with unique Japanese twists. It is often described as drier, smokier, and peatier than American whiskeys, though not as peaty as some Scotches. Japanese distilleries often import ingredients from Scotland but focus on refining their techniques to produce more delicate flavors. The use of local water sources and unique barrel types, such as those made from mizunara wood, contribute to its distinct taste.

Bourbon Whiskey is an American spirit made primarily from corn mash, with at least 51% corn content. It must be aged in new, charred American white oak barrels, which impart a rich, sweet flavor profile with notes of vanilla and caramel. Bourbon is predominantly produced in Kentucky and can be enjoyed on its own or used in classic cocktails like the Kentucky Mint Julep.

Tennessee Whiskey is a type of bourbon that undergoes an additional step called the Lincoln County Process, where it is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging. This process gives Tennessee Whiskey a smoother, sweeter taste compared to traditional bourbon.

A Quick Lesson In The Difference In Whiskeys

Single Malt Whiskey refers to whiskey made from malted barley at a single distillery. While traditionally associated with Scotland, single malts can be produced elsewhere, including the United States and Japan. Single malts are known for their complex, refined flavor profiles, which can include notes of oak, vanilla, fruit, and nuts. The aging process and type of barrels used significantly influence the final taste

Additionally, India is expanding into whiskey and is quickly making an international name for itself. Each type of whiskey offers a unique experience based on its ingredients, production methods, and geographical origins. Whether you prefer the sweetness of bourbon, the smokiness of Scotch, or the elegance of Japanese whisky, there’s a world of flavors to explore in the realm of whiskey.

Texas Citizens Want Legalized Cannabis But

Texas Citizens Want Legalized Cannabis But

Will Texas go the way of Florida with the marijuana of the public wants some form of legal marijuana and the Governor doing all he can to stop it?

While cannabis awaits its future under the new administration, the public increasingly wants legal access to marijuana.  Increasing seen as a respected medical aide, the pubic is embracing the green plant, and are increasingly open to fully legalized weed. Now Texas citizens want legalized cannabis but, will they go the way of Florida and have the governor stop the efforts? Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis used the full force available to him to try to stop the movement. But the Sunshine State public won medical marijuana and will gain full recreational at some point.  Now Lone Star state Governor Greg Abbott, could be in for a similar battle.

RELATED: Veterans With PTSD Are Given A Little Hope

Recent surveys conducted by the University of Houston’s Hobby School of Public Affairs have revealed a significant shift in public opinion regarding marijuana legalization in Texas. The data indicates that a substantial majority of Texans support easing restrictions on marijuana use, whether for medical or recreational purposes. This trend reflects a broader national movement toward more permissive cannabis policies. Legalizing marijuana could have significant economic benefits for Texas, as seen in neighboring states like New Mexico, where dispensaries near the Texas border capitalize on the state’s restrictive laws1. Moreover, easing marijuana laws could reduce criminal justice costs and align Texas with the growing national trend toward more liberal cannabis policies.

The most recent survey, released in February 2025, shows that nearly four out of five Texans (79%) support establishing a full-fledged medical cannabis program. This level of support is consistent across various demographic groups, with every socio-demographic subgroup favoring reform. The strong backing for medical marijuana is likely driven by its perceived health benefits and the desire to provide relief to patients with qualifying conditions. Currently, Texas’s Compassionate Use Program is highly restrictive, allowing only low-THC cannabis for a limited number of conditions.

In addition to medical marijuana, there is significant support for decriminalizing cannabis possession. About 69% of Texans endorse legislation to decriminalize marijuana for those 21 years and older, which would reduce penalties for possession to fines rather than criminal charges. Furthermore, 62% of Texans support legalizing a commercial marketplace for adult-use cannabis sales, indicating a growing acceptance of recreational use.

The support for marijuana legalization crosses political lines, with a majority of Democrats and a significant portion of Republicans backing these reforms. While Democrats are more likely to support full legalization, Republicans also show substantial support, particularly for medical use. Nonreligious Texans and those with lower incomes or without college degrees are more likely to favor decriminalization and legalization.

Despite the strong public support, Texas lawmakers have been slow to act on these issues. The state’s legislative structure, which meets only in odd-numbered years, limits opportunities for reform. Additionally, Texas does not allow statewide citizen-initiated ballot measures, placing the onus on elected officials to drive change. Recent efforts by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to ban THC products further complicate the path to legalization.  So it will be the Governor to determine the ultimate path forward.

Can Cannabis Provide Some Relief From Chronic Pain

Can Cannabis Provide Some Relief From Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can be life changing – from the pain to zapped energy. But can cannabis make a difference?

An estimated 20% of adults in the US and roughly 8 million Canadians experience chronic pain. This condition is defined as pain that lasts for more than three months. It can lead to insomnia and fatigue. If can impact many other parts of life, including mood and the ability to move and body functions. It can also lead to changes in the brain and nervous system, which can make the pain worse and harder to manage. But can cannabis provide some relief from chronic pain?

RELATED: The Most Popular Marijuana Flavors

Medical cannabis (MC) and cannabidiol (CBD) have show promise in managing chronic pain, though efficacy varies by condition and formulation. Research indicates cannabinoids may reduce pain severity by 30–50% compared to placebo, particularly in neuropathic and inflammatory conditions. A 2023 systematic review of 15 studies found CBD alone or combined with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) reduced pain by 42–66%.

Can Cannabis Provide Some Relief From Chronic Pain

Cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, modulating pain signaling and inflammation:

  • THC binds to CB1 receptors in the central nervous system, altering pain perception.
  • CBD enhances anandamide (a natural pain-regulating compound) and activates glycine receptors, potentially reducing localized inflammation.
  • Combined THC:CBD formulations (e.g., nabiximols) often show superior pain relief compared to single cannabinoids, with CBD mitigating THC’s psychoactive effects.

Clinical Evidence by Condition

  • Neuropathic pain: THC:CBD sprays reduced pain scores in multiple sclerosis and spinal injury patients.
  • Arthritis/fibromyalgia: Topical CBD improved peripheral neuropathy, while oral formulations alleviated fibromyalgia pain in 30% of patients.
  • Chronic back/neck pain: Preliminary trials suggest vaporized cannabis may rival oxycodone’s efficacy.

The good news is studies report 18–29% of patients achieve ≥30% pain reduction with cannabinoids vs. 14–26% on placebo. Effective CBD doses range widely (2.5–1,500 mg/day), and prolonged use may alter drug metabolism. So trend carefully with both CBD and THC. Remember, only THC:CBD combos like nabiximols are FDA-approved for specific conditions; most CBD products remain unregulated.

RELATED: This Natural Cannabinoid Makes You Feel Happy

CBD alone shows fewer side effects (fatigue, diarrhea) than THC-containing products. Notably, real-world data associate medical cannabis with 60% reduced opioid use in chronic pain patients, though long-term safety data remain limited.

While cannabinoids offer a potential alternative for refractory chronic pain, optimal use requires personalized dosing and further high-quality trials targeting specific pain subtypes. Current evidence supports cautious integration into multimodal pain regimens, particularly when conventional therapies fail. Always talk with your health professional when adding something new to your pain management regime.

Does Beyoncé Consume Marijuana

Coming off her big Grammy win, does Beyoncé consume marijuana – cause the industry needs some high profile allies

Coming off her big Grammys win, she is continue to expand her empire. Her fame, business savvy and talent has lead her to founding Parkwood Entertainment, Ivy Park, Cécred, and SirDavis. She has done endorsements for Pepsi and Levis and has a Netflick deal. She seems to go from one success to another. With all she has going on, does Beyoncé consume marijiana? Turns out she has leaned into the plant, but publicly here engagement is squarely in the wellness sphere.

RELATED: This Epic Love Story Is Being Set To Music

Beyoncé has openly incorporated cannabis-derived CBD into her wellness routine, citing its benefits for physical recovery and mental health, though she has not explicitly confirmed recreational cannabis use. The global icon revealed in a 2021 Harper’s Bazaar interview  CBD became a crucial tool during her tours, helping manage inflammation, muscle soreness, and insomnia. “I discovered CBD on my last tour, and I’ve experienced its benefits for soreness and inflammation. It helped with my restless nights,” she shared, emphasizing its role in her self-care practices

Beyoncé announced plans to build a hemp and honey farm to produce her own CBD, aiming to create natural wellness products for her family. This venture aligns with her focus on holistic health rituals, which she also teaches her children. She described finding her daughter Blue Ivy using homemade bath blends for relaxation, highlighting intergenerational wellness practices. While CBD is non-psychoactive (unlike THC-rich marijuana), her farm underscores her commitment to cannabis-derived wellness solutions.

Beyoncé’s entry into the hemp industry follows her husband Jay-Z’s cannabis brand, Monogram, though her approach centers on therapeutic applications rather than recreational use. In 2020, her BeyGOOD Foundation partnered with the NAACP to grant $10,000 to Black-owned cannabis businesses like The Gift, a wellness-focused hemp company. These efforts reflect her support for equitable opportunities in an industry where Black entrepreneurs face systemic barriers

Despite lyrical references to cannabis in her Cowboy Carter album and fan speculation about recreational use, Beyoncé has never publicly confirmed smoking marijuana. Experts note her CBD use focuses on documented (though FDA-unapproved) benefits like pain relief, while avoiding psychoactive effects. Medical researchers caution that CBD’s efficacy for conditions like insomnia remains inconclusive, though its safety profile for adults is generally accepted.

5 Ways To Manage Return To Office

The internet is filled with the nashing of teeth about people having to return the office 5 days a week . Here are 5 ways to manage the return.

Amazon, the Federal Government and more are returning to 5 days a week. For a portion of the work force, this is a new experience after years of either work from home or flex work.  It is not going well. There are endless articles about the anguish of working in an office, but at the moment, there is nothing to be changed.  And it is better to keep working while looking for a job, rather than face an uncertain work future.  ere are 5 ways to manage return to office mandates.

 RELATED: This Epic Love Story Is Being Set To Music

Before returning to a full-time schedule, take time to reflect on your career goals and how they align with your personal life. It’s essential to mentally prepare for the increased demands and stress that may come with a five-day workweek. Consider how you can bring joy to the commute (books on tape, podcasts, singing), enjoy your lunch and how you can make the week still a place of fun.

To maximize productivity, prioritize tasks and focus on high-impact activities. Use tools like calendars or planners to organize your day and ensure you meet deadlines. Consider implementing time management techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working in focused intervals with short breaks.  Also, consider doing one chore a day at home, laundry, bathroom cleaning, etc.  This will provide more “fun or down” time on the weekend.

Working long hours without breaks can lead to burnout. Make sure to take short breaks throughout the day to recharge. Prioritize self-care by incorporating activities that reduce stress, such as meditation, exercise, or spending time with family and friends.

If you find yourself anxious, consider microdosing.  With cannabis being generally accepted and healthier than alcohol, the California sober has emerged.  If the anxiety is overwhelming, many are learning 1.5-2.5 mg of cannabis, a portion of a marijuana gummy, can help you gain control of the day.

Returning to work after a break can be an excellent opportunity to update your skills. Engage in professional development activities to stay current with industry trends and enhance your career prospects. Reconnect with former colleagues and industry contacts. Attend networking events or join professional groups to expand your network and stay informed about opportunities in your field.
Take a moment, breath and realize not everything is forever.

Does Will Ferrell Consume Marijuana

He has another movie dropping – but does Will Ferrell chill with cannabis after all the production?

He is paired with Reese Witherspoon for a new comedy You Are Cordially Invited.  Ferrell has had a series of success from the wildly popular original Lego Movie to Elf. He is a majorly bankable star and never seems to be too far from a project. He become famous during his stint on SNL where he starred from 1995 to 2002. “I had a wonderful seven seasons on that show, where I made lifelong friends,” he said. “I knew in that moment it would be the hardest but most fun job I would ever get to do, and I still look back on it that way” he shared.  But does Will Ferrell consumer marijuana?

 RELATED: This Epic Love Story Is Being Set To Music

In a series of tweets from 2013, Ferrell humorously addressed the topic, stating, “Smoking weed doesn’t make me a bad person, just like going to church doesn’t make you a good person” and “Yes, I smoke weed. No, I am not a drug addict”.  This implies he is a canna consumer.  But more importantly, he is a canna fan.

Ferrell’s comments reflect a broader cultural shift towards more accepting views of marijuana use. His humor often touches on social norms and stereotypes, and his remarks about marijuana are consistent with this approach. By joking about the topic, Ferrell helps normalize the conversation around marijuana, aligning with a growing public perception that marijuana use is not necessarily indicative of addiction or moral failing.

The relationship between marijuana use and creativity, particularly in comedy, is a topic of interest. Some comedians and artists report that marijuana enhances their creativity or helps them perceive humor differently. While Ferrell has not explicitly linked marijuana to his comedic creativity, his casual attitude towards its use suggests that he may view it as a part of a relaxed lifestyle rather than a tool for creative enhancement.

Known for his unique brand of humor and his ability to create memorable characters, he connects with the viewing public.  In doing so, he help make cannabis acceptable.
