1 easy way to make dehydrated zucchini medallions
Happy Memorial Day everyone! I know...it's about over! It's been a beautiful weekend and Thomas and I got a lot done. We mowed grass, trimmed and weeded the yard, cleaned out the garage and shed, and ran errands. We took time out on Friday night for "date night" where we had fish n chips at Margaret's Cafe in Toronto, OH. And speaking of cleaning out the garage...we had a seal tight dog food container from the house in MO just sitting there looking at us and we were trying to decide if we...
Treats-Unleashed Pet Bakery
My sweet friend gave Thomas and I a gift card from an all natural pet bakery and pet store called Treats-Unleashed here in Missouri. I visited the store for the first time today and was so impressed with the store, the customer service and their selection of baked dog treats, food, and dog and cat supplies that I...well, I spent a lot of money! Jake and Maggie have seemed less than thrilled with their dog food lately and I wanted to change things up a bit but not overwhelm their digestive...
How to pay your vet bill if you don’t have pet insurance
"Maggie just came back from the groomers and I called her "Pretty Girl". "This was the face she made". This past weekend was crazy for us. We spent the entire weekend getting our lawn mowed, shrubs and trees trimmed, and landscape weeded. We made trips to Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes for flowers, potting soil and a Weber grill.

What is Kitten Season?
What is Kitten Season?Have you heard of it yet? If not, this is the time of year when every unspayed, queen (female cat) is likely to have a belly full of babies, or a litter of youngsters by her side. This is also the time when shelters are getting bombarded with mothers and their baby kittens, some even arriving without their mothers. Why do kittens arrive seasonally? Kitten season occurs seasonally because the queen has evolved into a “seasonally polyestrous” creature, meaning she comes...
13 Ways To Keep Your House Clean With A Pet
This is a re-post with a much needed photo update as well. Happy Wednesday everyone! So I’m walking through the house this morning thinking about how badly my hardwood floors need waxed and thought I’d do a post on cleaning your house with pets. Update: I no longer wax my floors but clean with them 4 parts water and 2 parts cleaning vinegar. This eliminates the wax build up and keeps them not only smelling clean but eliminates smudge marks. I bought a hand held vacuum made by Black and...
