We love our dogs, and during the summer months we need to protect their sensitive paws, noses and ears from sun damage and bug bites. While applying sunblock or insect repellent to our pooches may seem like a gesture of love, it can cause more harm than good. Since dogs have a tendency to lick foreign substances off their skin, the ingestion of sunscreen or repellant can cause serious illness. Unless the product is specifically designed for use on pets, do not use it.

Some of the best treats in the summer are cold, delicious Popsicles. But not only do Popsicles come with lots of disposable packaging (boxes, wrappers, wooden sticks), they are energy hogs -- they need to be frozen from the time they leave the factory to the time they stay in the supermarket. That's a lot of bone-chilling, energy-hogging transport! Instead, try making your own treats at home by investing in a reusable, dishwasher-safe ice pop mold. Come up with crazy flavors, and get to eating!

On your next journey abroad, be sure to check out the website packforapurpose.org. By "donating" a little extra space in your luggage, you can bring needed items to local schools or hospitals. You can bring anything from 400 pencils or five deflated soccer balls with an inflation device to a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff and 500 bandages. When you arrive at your destination, just find the hotel or lodging facility that participates in the program, and drop off your goods. It's that simple!
