We are a family with 4 dogs. A little crazy perhaps but we love them all! Summer here in the south is brutal so I am constantly trying to find shade or put ice cubes in our dogs water bowls. I believe that FrostyBowlz is the solution to keeping our dogs water cold all summer! FrostyBowlz is a chilled pet bowl that was developed over several … [Read more...]
I am a HUGE fan of gift cards, and I am always delighted when I receive one for the holidays or for my birthday (which happens to be today!). Even better than physical gift cards are eCards that can be used right away and from the comfort of my own home. I have been busy shopping for Valentine's Day for my family members, and if you know me, you … [Read more...]
There are so many animals in shelters (over 5 million pets) - this just breaks my heart. I have adopted several kitties from shelters over the years, and I have a soft place for them (and all animals really). The quality of life of these furry friends can be improved drastically with just a little help. Adopting a pet can bring happiness into … [Read more...]
In case you cannot tell by the photos of my fur babies on my sidebar, or if you haven't noticed all of the photos I post of my babies on Facebook, I will tell you that I LOVE CATS! Growing up, we always had cats, and when I moved out of my parents house and got married, we quickly acquired a cat (to be followed by several more). Sometimes I found … [Read more...]
Okay, so this is kind of a strange title for a blog post. Did you think the post would be about dragonflies wearing mascara? Nope...although that would be intriguing! This is a story about a special black duck and a gorgeous red dragonfly :) I am thoroughly enjoying our 2nd home. I have posted before about how much fun I had decorating the new … [Read more...]
We were down at our lake house last weekend, and had quite a surprise waiting for us - one of the ducks had babies! This thrilled me to no end, and I got a few shots of the babies and their mama, and wanted to share them with you. Get ready to say "Awww". And this one is just too cute for words. I got such a kick out of them diving in - … [Read more...]
Newman is always into trouble (shocking, I know). Well he is not supposed to be on the counters, and he knows this all too well. We have discussed this ad nauseam. He seemed to be listening, but who really knows with cats. We have a rolling cart in the middle of the kitchen that has a metal top and on the side a wood area with slots for … [Read more...]
Over the past couple of years, I have mentioned how we cannot wait to find our dream home. We started the search a few months ago, and decided on an area that has a man-made lake in a gated community. We really loved the homes on that lake, so that made concentrating on an area pretty easy. Best of all, this is the town where my BFF lives! We … [Read more...]
Well he is the puppy, and I am the one in love. I have never, ever had a dog, but I do love them. Last weekend I went to visit my friend (who lives about 3 hours away) for a few days, and the night I arrived, she had just picked up their new puppy - an 8-week old German Shepherd. Puppies are quite a bit of work! The first night he cried a lot, … [Read more...]
The search was on to find a dog toy to withstand Riker (my Great Dane puppy)'s wrath. I found one! Pride Bites is a dog toy company started by four men, who wanted to make a soft durable toy that was safe for dogs. Pride Bites are made of quality material and are vet approved. Each Pride Bite is made of soft fleece, two layers of durable … [Read more...]
