Blog – Misc. Tidbits
We get, on a daily basis, people trying to spam our blog.
I will tell you right now that we have safeguards in place that will not allow comments to be automatically posted. I have to manually approve each and every one before it will show up here.
If you sign up as a subscriber and your email bounces back (I get a report) then you will automatically be deleted from our blog.

I run a clean ship here and I will not allow spam posts on my blog!

I went through and checked out every link under our Favorite Vendor catagory. There was a handful or so websites that for whatever reason are no more so I’ve deleted them from our blog.

Body Spray
I was in the store the other day and was looking to add to my small collection of body sprays.

Even though I knew better I picked up and smelled the Vanilla Cupcake one.
REALLY!??
You really think I want to smell like a vanilla cupcake!!!
NOT!
I have a bad enough sweet tooth as it is without smelling like a bakery all damn day.
I chose a cucumber/melon and a floral something-or-other.
Who decides on these scents anyway!

Puppy Update
We have had our new puppy for a week now and he has settled in nicely!

We decided on naming him Brodie (he looks like a Brodie doesn’t he!) and are still working on his AKC registered name. I have also signed up for a puppy headstart class that will begin next month.

Maggie (English Bull Terrier) is our extremely alpha female and we had to watch her very closely the first few days to make sure she was ok with Brodie. She tends to be a little (ok..a lot!) overbearing but he is learning to read her quite well. She is more relaxed now than in the beginning and is actually playing with him and allowing him to lay with her! We don’t leave them alone unsupervised and put Brodie in his (huge) crate (that he will grow into) when we aren’t home. This also is supposed to help with potty training.

In the past we fed one type of dog food (adult) and bought the 50 lb. size. We just left the bag standing in the corner and both dogs would (suprisingly) leave it alone.

Now we have two types of dog food..the adult and now puppy chow (our vet highly/strongly recommended feeding puppy chow the first year as it has stuff in it a puppy needs to grow properly) and yes, we bought the bigger bags!

I just had both bags (open) sitting in a corner until Maggie knocked over the puppy chow bag spewing puppy food everywhere! I could tell this was not going to work! I went to the pet store to find dog food containers big enough for 50 lbs. of food and they were over $35.00 apiece and since we needed two that would have been over $70.00!

Thinking I could find a cheaper alternative I went to the local FM and found very nice stacking bin type containers for only….
get this….
$12.00 apiece!

Ya hear that hubs???
I saved us $46.00!!!

Here are a few pictures that I took this week.
More will be coming…I promise!
