PetSnug CushionYear after year we hear stories of pets pinching and making use of customer's Chimney Sheep chimney draught excluders for themselves, most often using them as a bed or a cushion. So, we thought why aren't we offering something woolly just for pets? So, we came up with the PetSnug pet bed range and extra wool pet cushions.

Year after year we hear stories of pets pinching and making use of customer's Chimney Sheep chimney draught excluders for themselves, most often using them as a bed or a cushion. So, we thought why aren't we offering something woolly just for pets? So, we came up with the PetSnug pet bed range - and extra wool pet cushions. These wool cushions can purchased as extras to go alongside our PetSnug pet range, or can be used standalone - as a great snooze spot. We wanted to bring sustainability into the spotlight with our PetSnug range, so we made sure to use only the highest quality renewable natural materials when it comes to our pet beds and pet cushions. Matched with our small batch, low waste and low energy production methods to further insure these wool pet cushions don't harm the environment we're proud to say we've produced something with a wonderfully low carbon footprint - just the thing if you're looking to lower your pets carbon pawprint.

Each individual PetSnug wool pet cushion is made of natural locally sourced Herdwick sheep's wool, stuffed inside a naturally dyed cotton outer. The outer is naturally water resistant, meaning these cushions are easy care and wipeable. These pet cushions are filled to the brim with bouncy Herdwick wool, making them plump soft and comfortable - the perfect perch for your pet. All of the wool used inside these pet cushions has been sourced directly from the farm, with the farmer being paid a fair price for their wool and us organising the collection directly.

Every PetSnug natural wool cushion for pets is made from entirely natural materials. They are completely plastic, solvent and glue free - perfect if you're making environmentally pawsitive choices.

How will this wool pet cushion help me lower my pet's carbon pawprint?

All of our PetSnug extra wool cushions are made from completely natural materials. They are zero plastic and contain no glues or solvents. The outer cover is made of naturally dyed completely organic water resistant cotton.

Each natural wool cushion is sewn using only high quality natural thread, every piece of material used to make this cushion is renewable, so you can rest assured you're getting a product made of truly natural, sustainable materials. Further to this, we're making sure to utilise only low-carbon production methods to make our wool pet cushions. We use careful handcrafting techniques, produce in small batches and use low energy methods of production - and ensure we make as little waste as possible. So, alongside our ability to locally source materials and keep our energy consumption low when it comes to making these pet cushions you can rest assured that you're recieving a very environmentally friendly product indeed. The perfect swap if you're keeping an eye on your pets carbon pawprint.

What size PetSnug wool pet cushion do I need?

Our wool pet cushions are incredibly multipurpose. Not only can they be purchased as extras or additional spare cushions to go alongside your PetSnug bed. They can be purchased for other standalone reasons too. Perhaps to sit upon a chair or counter top as a purrfect perch for your pet? The size you will need will depend upon what you're using it for after all.

If your purchasing one of our wool pet cushions as a replacement for the inner cushion to your PetSnug, it just needs to correspond to the size of our PetSnug outer. If your PetSnug is a small wool cat bed, you simply need a size small wool pet cushion. If you've purchased a large cat PetSnug or a PetSnug wool dog bed, you just need a size large cushion - as these beds have the same diameter. Simple!

But, if you're planning on using this wool pet cushion for something else, the measurement might come in handy - so here they are!

The diameters of our chunky wool pet cushions are as follows:

They are incredibly conforming and squashy, so they'll fit into all kinds of spaces. But, if you're purchasing a wool pad for a dog we'd perhaps encourage you to size up, simply because dogs tend to be a little bigger than our feline friends (except perhaps if you have a Maine Coon!).

Why should I choose a wool pet cushion?

Not only is wool an incredibly comfy, cosy natural material, it's got all kinds of properties which make it a fantastic thing to make a pet cushion out of.

Not only is it bouncy and comfortable, it's naturally antibacterial - it doesn't hold bacteria which means it doesn't tend to accumulate smells either. It's also wonderfully sustainable, and in the case of this particular wool cushion all the of the wool has been sourced directly, with farmers being paid a fair price for their wool. It's naturally insulating and breathable meaning it's great for regulating temperature too. By purchasing a British wool product you'll also be supporting British farms too.

These particular wool cushions have been made as sustainable as possible - alongside the locally sourced British wool, we've made sure that we only use the highest quality sustainable materials to produce our wool felt cushions, alongside our eco-friendly, low waste, small batch production methods we're proud to say out wool cushions have minimal impact on the environment!

Leveling the playing field
Format: Hardcover
It is a not so tightly held secret that the Republicans know how to manipulate emotions for political advantage; with this book Drew Westen levels the playing field by not only providing insight into how emotions are evoked and taken advantage of politically, but also provides evidence-driven suggestions for the Democratic party to follow. The question, of course, is will the Democrats change their electoral strategies taking Dr. Westen's suggestions to heart, or will they follow the failed tactics of the Gore and Kerry campaigns, which relied on consultants following a rational-choice model of politics that prefers watered down political positions and milquetoast candidates in hopes of taking the "center". While some may argue that this book is unethical by advocating the targeting of voters' emotions, instead of their "rational thought process", and thus is supportive of public manipulation, a very strong counter-argument might be made that putting this information in the public domain will help voters inoculate themselves against current Republican strategies which rely on scaring the public and arousing their anger against others using a range of techniques that border on the illegal. Specifically, the "RATS" subliminal advertisement used by the Bush 2000 campaign to attack Gore is, on close scrutiny, a very astute and professional advertisement that takes advantage of knowledge in the academic sphere that humans process information outside of conscious awareness. Specifically, a 1986 article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Fazio et al. provided evidence that not only did the term "RATS" have a negative effect on peoples' evaluation of items presented afterwards, but that further, the term "Reagan" had a weak positive effect. Likewise, both Westen and colleagues and Stewart and Schubert(in Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, 2006), in separate studies, suggest that the term "RATS" is an effective subliminal. Furthermore, the use of fear/anxiety by the current administration is well established, with studies showing a correlation between changes in the Homeland Security color-coded threat indicator and political tactics. While one might argue over the timing of the Iraq invasion, and whether it was carried out for short-term political expediency, or to address a perceived threat in the region, one cannot argue with the rally effect that bolstered President Bush's ratings to over 90% immediately after 9-11 and over 70% after the Iraq invasion. Knowing that humans respond in predictable ways when different emotions are evoked allows not just politicians, consultants, academics and wonks to understand human behavior, but also will give the average citizen greater awareness of how the emotions evoked affect their decisions and responses. In other words, a more intelligent population may come from a more emotionally astute population.

A compelling counternarrative
Format: Hardcover
"The Political Brain" by Drew Westen is an important contribution to the political science literature in general and an inspiration for Democratic Party supporters in particular. Mr. Westen's knowledge of psychology and the cognitive sciences provides insight into how the individual develops a political consciousness. Showing how the Republican Party has gained advantage by developing an emotionally fear-laden narrative designed to exploit the electorate's psychic sensibilities, Mr. Westen argues that Democrats can and must develop a compelling counternarrative that appeals to the American public's better angels in order to inspire their supporters and win consistently at the polls. The first section discusses the mind, brain and emotion in politics. Mr. Westen draws upon the latest scientific research to explain how emotion is integral to the brain's cognitive function. Mr. Westen recites passages delivered by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bill Clinton to illustrate how political messages are most effective when they tie issues to emotionally resonant themes and images. Importantly, Mr. Westen also deconstructs the neoliberal ideology of Ronald Reagan to help us better understand the importance of evolutionary psychology and crafting popular messages with curb appeal. The second section provides a blueprint for executing emotionally compelling campaigns. Mr. Westen explores the multiple layers of voter intelligence to reveal how Republicans have successfully used subliminal messaging to activate the public's feelings of anxiety in order to get people to vote against their own material self-interests. The author stresses that when Democratics shy away from conflict, voters instinctively detect weakness; therefore he recommends that Democrats cede nothing and go after issues that many voters tend to perceive as Republican. To that end, Mr. Westen offers a series of principled narratives on contentious issues such as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights and gun control that he believes could easily help the Democrats gain majority support by activating the American voter's sense of fairness, freedom and equality of opportunity. While perhaps not fully convincing on all subjects, Mr. Westen amply demonstrates that a coherent and inspirational counternarrative is possible. Unfortunately, this otherwise excellent book succumbs to a transparent attempt at self-promotion by forcing readers to go to the author's website to read the footnotes. Boo! Yet despite this minor deficiency, I highly recommend this timely and fascinating book to everyone.

Essential reading for Democratic campaign managers
Format: Kindle
For decades it has frustrated me that, while most of the country shares Democratic beliefs over Republican ones, Democrats keep losing elections. Why? Because the very values Democrats hold dear...taking the higher road, trying to stay "above the fray", concentrating on issues over personalities...fail to speak to the emotional brain that makes most voters' electoral decisions. Whether it's the language they use while failing to understand its connotations, over-handling by committees that blunt the message, or simple refusal to debate some topics at all (abortion, gun control, race) thereby defaulting on them to the Republicans, Democrats systematically undermine their own campaigns. Westen's book is must reading for every Democrat who wants to hold public office! Thus, the five stars. On the other hand, Westen makes his point clearly and firmly in the first third of the book, and then beats us over the head with it, taking us point by point through campaigns, tweaking the information endlessly, and frankly, about halfway through I started skimming and eventually put it down. "I get it already!" I thought, and moved on. Also, this is horribly produced ebook. It's obviously scanned from a printed copy and poorly proofread, it at all. When Westen talks about the perception of the word "gull" and how it affects elections, you have to read a bit to understand that it's the word "gun" he's talking about! Words bizarrely split, words run together, bizarre punctuation and misspelling due to OCR errors are rife on every single page. Furthermore, the type looks like bad photocopying with the machine set on "light." Ugly, ugly, ugly. Yet the publisher (Hatchette) charges nearly as much for the ebook as for the print book, which I'm sure looks a lot better. It couldn't look any worse. If I could, I'd rate it "five stars" for the content, downgrade it to "three stars" for being redundant, and finally give it "one star" for being so terribly produced. That first third of the book, though, is so important for Democrats to understand (the Republicans already have a masterful grasp of it) that I went with the "five star" rating.

A Bitter Pill, but Much Needed Knowledge
Format: Kindle
Its thesis is that we, as humans, are predisposed to emotional, gut-level decision-making. Although most liberals will not want to accept this, author, Drew Westen, makes his case so well even the most inveterate ostriches must pull their heads out of the sand. We believe first, then we seek to support our beliefs. How we come to believe is a complex interaction of genetics and environment, which Westen makes no effort to reveal. What he focuses on is the counter-productive illusion that facts and issues matter more than the emotions underlying the principles we value most in life. And Westen disabuses the reader of this illusion quite completely, giving examples of what should have been said and what should have been done in Democrat campaigns in response to Republican attack. As a psychologist, Westin teaches us how the human brain works and why it is important for liberal politics to know how it works before selecting a candidate and mounting a campaign.
