Best Dog Muzzle in the World

I have a 6 lb. Chihuahua who was rescued from a puppy mill when he was quite mature (10+ years old). While he has settled in at our house, he has issues with company and with the vet and strangers. He's so cute that everyone wants to pet him, but I can't trust that he won't bite them. This muzzle is soft enough and has enough room so that he can breathe and it doesn't pinch him. He doesn't get upset when I put it on him, which is kind of unusual for his normal behavior! I believe that it must be comfortable for him. It prevents him from the incessant barking when he's scared and he can't bite anyone. This makes me feel so much better. I have been worried that he may bite someone and that would cause a huge problem and even result in a lawsuit or having him taken from our home. He's a good boy when he's with us at home. I have been trying to take him out and about a bit to get him socialized. It has been working, slowly, of course, but I am hopeful that some day he will overcome all his fears and anti-social behavior. But this muzzle gives me peace of mind that I can try my best to get him socialized and prevent him from biting someone. I hesitated to get a muzzle, but I always thought it was cruel to muzzle a dog. But I've never had a dog in the past who needed muzzling. This dog is an exception and this muzzle is working well.

Duck Mouth Shaped Dog Muzzle
Well made, cute muzzle that fits our shih tzu puppy! We live in an apartment building with some aggressive dogs who have made trouble for the rest of our loyal four-pawed friends, and now all dogs must be muzzled when entering or leaving the building. I was very concerned about the new muzzle requirement for two reasons. One, we live in Manila and most muzzles do not allow a dog to pant adequately to cool themselves. Two, well, have you ever seen a shih tzu's face? They are pretty flat and most muzzles won't fit a puppy shih tzu. I talked to the vet who told me to find an open style muzzle, and then I researched Amazon. Based on other reviews, I ordered a large. This muzzle is perfect! It has a soft, flexible silicon bill, covers my puppy's mouth but is open enough to allow him to pant, and he is the center of attention when he goes out to play. All the kids love him and want to see him with his muzzle. Of course, we take it off once we are outside, but they hang around to see him when we go back inside after play time. So not only does this product satisfy the building's muzzle requirement, it helps with my dog's socialization.
Pros -
Quality materials, design, and construction;
Clasp is easy to snap, holds firmly even when my dog shakes his head, and is easy to open when removing muzzle
Duck bill can be washed quickly and easily with hand or dish soap and water
Open style keeps mouth covered while allowing plenty of room to pant and get fresh air
Bill shape ensures muzzle does not push into eyes
Cons
Sizing is hard to estimate
All products have room for improvement and perhaps this product could publish best sizes by breed; however, there is also a burden on the shopper to research a product. It is unfortunate when people give a product a bad review because they did not buy the proper item. If you are looking for an open style muzzle for a small dog, I highlth recommend this product.

OnePlus 5 Review: Vs. Honor 8

OnePlus 5
I am an android geek and an enthusiast for many years. I have rooted phones, written xposed modules and am deeply familiar with android phones. I have moved on, though. All i now want is a good stable, responsive phone. Coming from LG G3, i narrowed my choices to Axon 7, Honor 8 and OnePlus 5 (based on true value). I don't believe there are many other choices.
I read numerous reviews on each of these phones, however, i want to decide for myself. Bought all 3 phones and used it as daily driver for a week. I am not gonna bore you with all with processors/technical specs/etc. Phone Arena has those info.
Here's my summarized version on usability of the phones.
Axon 7
Pro:
+ Best value for the money among all three phones.
+ ZTE is very generous; they don't skimp on anything; Phone comes with everything; including a case, extra set of screen protector.
+ Phone is snappy; not many junk Apps; can even disable most of the junk;
+ ZTE Custom UI is decent (not great); but customizable
+ Dual Sim; but one of slot is either SD card or 2nd sim
+ Excellent speaker; although i rarely use it. I always use headphones, so this feature really didn't tip the scale.
+ Wifi Calling and VOLTE are available.
Con:
- Slow fingerprint reader for unlocking the phone. In my opinion, this is a serious flaw since you will be constantly unlocking the phone. Even though you might overlook this flaw initially, it will get to you after some time.
- Cellular bands are not wide. Works well with GSM carriers in USA (like TMobile, AT&T etc). Does not work with CDMA. However, if you want to take your phone over seas (asian countries) not all LTE bands are compatible
- Among the three, this is the heaviest phone. Also, phone is slightly big to use it in 1 hand.
Honor 8 (FRD L04):
Pro:
+ Best looking phone. Phone feels very slippery. I was afraid i might drop the phone.
+ Very fast and good finger print reader. Best of all, you can customize few commands in the reader.
+ Good customizable UI. Best part is, you can dim the screen for reading, will be easy on your eyes.
Con:
- This is NOT a dual sim phone. This phone may have a slot to put the second sim. The phone sold in usa does not have dual sim support in OS.
- The cellular bands are not wide. Works well with GSM Networks in USA (like TMobile, AT&T, etc). Not with CDMA. However, if you want to take your phone over seas (asian countries), not all LTE bands are compatible
- Junk apps
- no WiFi calling available.
OnePlus 5:
Pro:
+ Phone is lighter than Axon7
+ Broadest Cellular band. Works well with all GSM Carrier in USA; And, if you plan to take it to asian countries, it works well with all GSM carriers there as well.
+ Dual Sim; Also, you can dim the screen for reading, will be easy on your eyes
+ BEST of all; insanely fast fingerprint reader; The fastest phone, by far. Has the largest RAM, 6GB; fastest processor.
+ Closest to the native android experience. Not many bloatwares
+ Wifi Calling available; so is VOLTE.
Con:
- Phone is the same size as Axon7; big for one hand; but much lighter than Axon 7
- No SD Card slot
- Most expensive of all 3
- Compared to ZTE (see Axon 7 above) OnePlus is very cheap. Phone comes with wall charger and a cable, that it. No ear phones, nothing.
- Not many UI customization available;
- WORST Customer Service. This takes the cake, when it comes to bad customer service.
In summary, it all came down to finger print reader. The delay in reading and unlocking the phone will slowly get on your nerves. If you do not care about dual sim (or broadest cellular band), Honor 8 is a good choice. However, if you want dual sim and the fastest
finger print reader, you may have to choose OnePlus 5. I know i will hate OnePlus customer service. I may buy square trade warranty just to avoid talking to OnePlus.

LG G6 User Reviews

LG G6 User Reviews
Wow, what a great phone! Moving up from an LG Flex, and was reluctant to let the Flex go, because I loved it so much. The screen of the G6 is as tall as the Flex, but slightly narrower. The photo quality is far superior. (But of course, the G6 does not "flex," alas. I liked it!)

I had never had an unlocked phone before, so wasn't sure if I would have technical challenges. I didn't. The unlocked version has an Android OS tailored by LG, but no add-ons from my cell carrier, thank goodness! So it is cleaner and easier, and I still have the option to download apps from my carrier (T-Mobile) if I choose to.

I transferred every iota of data and nearly all apps from the Flex to the G6, using Google. (The easy step by step process pops right up on both new and old phones.) Interestingly, the transfer did not "empty" my old Flex, so I now have duplicate contents on the phones. (Without a SIM card, the Flex will not handle calls and texts, but it still receives notifications, news, and everything else. Every morning I read the New York Times and other news on the Flex, saving the G6 battery!)

The phone arrived a bit more quickly than predicted, and with a few hours of charge, it was up and at it! It was well-packaged, with all the right accessories and paperwork. I would buy from this seller again, or refer others to them!

I crashed my Nexus5 hard and with replacing the screen and the battery, I decided it was time for a new phone. Wow, did I find a winner. It's screen is huge but the phone still fits in my packet securely. I had a Galaxy Note II that spent as much time on the floor as in my pocket that was a slightly large phone, This one is just the right size for me.

PROS:
* After having fried a Nexus 6 in the toilet (yes, yuk) I really like the water resistant feature. I can slip it on the back of my bike jersey and not worry if it rains or how much I sweat.
* The finger print feature I wasn't sure about but I really like it now that I have it. Not a must have on future phones, but I like being able to open lots of apps w/o entering a complicated password (like banking apps) being entered correctly. Quicker, too.
* Battery life is exceptional. I use it and it runs all day w/o charging.
* Love the dual SIMM card. I put a 128GB card in it and the new android saves data there for movies, pictures, music, the stuff that takes up lots of room.

CONS:
* Honestly non yet. I bought in as an unlocked T-Mobile phone, but I have T-Mobile as my carrier so the T-Mobile specific applicatins are working for me, or I just removed the ones I had no use for.

I recommend this phone highly. Especially now that the G6 has come out with a higher speed processor and all the international bells and whistles, this version (North American, Snap Dragon 815 vs, 820) is an even better bargain that will probably get cheaper.

Good design. It is good to see LG going back to the nailing the basics that make for a great phone.

Pros:
1 slim and not too heavy
2 generous screen with excellent colors
3 fingerprint reader doubles up as power button
4 Good UX customization of android with not too much customization

Cons:
1 Clean right edge of the phone but volume buttons are on the left edge, and get in the way holding the phone up reading in bed (will stop me from using phone eventually)
2 Speaker is ok better than others such as the Pixel but not any where close to the excellent sound of the Sony XZ Premium, for example.
