All dogs are not water dogs and don’t know how to swim. Some don’t even like the water and have to be coaxed to get wet. Your pet can drown just as easily as a child can drown. Most dogs have to be taught to swim. Even if you give Fido swimming lessons he needs to wear a dog life jacket when he is around the pool , beach or on a boat. He can fall off a boat or panic when he jumps into a pool. Even if Fido or Fifi can do the dog paddle he or she will tire quickly and can drown.
Pink Polka Dot Dog Life Jacket
A life jacket may save your pet’s life. A dog may fall into the water while trying to jump into a boat so ,if you take your dog boating you will want to think about getting a dog floating boat ladder so your pet can safely get aboard your craft. Anytime you dog is playing near water or taking part in water sports he will be much safer in a well fitting dog life jacket. Keep your dog safe this summer so you can both enjoy playing in the the sun and water.

Burglars broke into a home, kept the occupants at gunpoint while they looked for valuables. The home invaders may have overlooked the security cameras which caught the entire operation on film. Even the face of one of the burglars was visible. Police are hoping that this evidence will help them find and arrest the men. While many times a potential burglar will bypass a venue with noticeable surveillance cameras it is not 100% guaranteed. I could be that some crooks are too stupid to pay attention to security cameras or they think they are too smart to be caught. If the camera did not stop them at least the burglars may very well be identified and arrested. We certainly hope so.
You can see on the video that all that was needed to break into the house was a kick to the front door. Most doors are easy to kick in. It is important to burglar proof your doors.
An Arizona man had only installed security cameras at him home when armed burglars entered during the night and stole expensive tools. The cameras caught the entire event and the film was give to the police who hope to capture these criminals who can be clearly identified in the video.
Many types of security and surveillance cameras are available in all price ranges. There are hidden cameras and cameras that are designed to be very noticeable in order to discourage intruders. Nanny cams are a popular type of indoor hidden camera that tapes the movements of baby sitters and child care workers to ensure the safety of small children.
Holiday shopping season is here and there is still some last minute gifts to get for special people. There are many safety and security items available that are great presents. Consider diversion safes,pretty pink pepper sprays, small but powerful stun guns, security and nanny cams. Show your friends and family that you care. Give the gift of security.

Programmable Timers for Convenience, Security and Energy Savings
To Be Safe And Sound has just introduced two new timers:
At this time of year especially, we need to take proper safety and security precautions. It is imperative that no one go out for the evening or away on vacation without making sure that the home does not advertise that it is unoccupied. Intruders, burglars and thieves are more active than usual during the holiday season. All windows and doors must be locked at all time, even the windows on the upper stories. Check your door and window locks. It may be time to get new, more sturdy ones.
When you are away for the evening or on a vacation you need to make the house look as if someone is always at home. It is easy to set the stage with automatic timers that switch lamps, radios, TV’s, etc. on and off. A potential intruder seeing the lights and hearing the radio or TV assumes that the family is home and go off to find an easier target. The programmable digital power strip timer has 8 electrical outlets — 4 are programmable and 4 are regular outlets. It allows up to 4 appliances to be switched on and off at the desired times (within one minute). This timer is also great for organizing your Christmas lights and controlling appliances that don’t need to be on all the time.
The GE Programmable Easy Reach Timeris so named because it has a 5 foot cord that lets you set the timer on a table or shelf where it is more convenient to use. No more crawling on the floor trying to program a timer on the outlet way down on the bottom of the wall. Everyone needs a timer for security and convenience.
To Be Safe And Sound is offering FREE Shipping on all ground orders (USA only) over $100.00 during Cyber Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…….week.
Be extra aware when you go out shopping this holiday season. Bad guys are very active this time of year. Do not let you packages be visible in your parked car. Hide them in your trunk. Do not let your purse or your packages out of your sight even for a seconds. Bad buys are very alert and very fast. When you use a parking garage be sure to have your keys in your hand when you approach your parked vehicle. Look carefully inside before you enter and make sure no one is hiding inside. Lock all doors and windows as soon as you enter your car.
Stun Gun SMACK
It is advisable to have a small container of pepper spray or a miniature stun gun on your key ring where it is immediately available in the event that it is needed.
If you are like me you pay very little attention to the videos shown at the start of the flight. I have heard them so many times and they are pretty boring after the 100th time. Now many of you will be traveling this holiday season and will be going by air. It is very important to pay attention to your safety so do watch the videos and listen to what the cabin crew has to say. If you will be traveling by Delta Airlines you may notice that they have added a bit of comic relief to their safety videos. If you are not travelling by Delta you may watch them here.
Have you noticed the jokes in the videos? There is a robot who shuts itself down, the fellow who wants to smoke his Sherlock Holmes pipe and the woman opposite who scolds him, a surprise cameo of Abraham Lincoln and passengers playing games during a bumpy ride. What other funny bits can you spot on these videos? It nice to see that someone at Delta has a sense of humor.
Pepper Spray is one of the best non-lethal self defense weapons It is easy to use but one must know the best way to use it. Watch this video if you have a pepper spray or are considering buying one. Pepper sprays comes in all sizes from tiny ones to keep on your key ring to large ones that are big enough to control crowds.
