20 Activities And Cleaning Tips To Help You Get Through The Coronavirus Quarantine

I also want to send a special message to those who are helping to save lives and my gratitude goes out to all of you. I am also sending blessings to those who are fighting to save our sweet animals who...
Do Dogs Understand Personal Space?
Do dogs really understand the meaning of personal space? I don't think Jake and Maggie do. I’m sure we are all sick of talking and thinking about the Coronavirus. I know Jake and Maggie are! Every activity I think of involves being around places and people so we have begun a new routine of walking our property line, and a new routine of walking around our neighborhood. We got our walk in today but I don’t think it was enough because they were like velcro on my hip all day. I even made a...
Shamrock Shake And A Root Beer Float
I made it out yesterday and today to run errands and let me tell ya…It is crazy out there!! I wanted to make sure that we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at the Domitrovich household. I made us an Irish meal (more on that next week) and brought back an old recipe from my childhood…A Root Beer Float! I haven’t had one in years!!!! My mom and dad would make these for me and my sister on the weekends. We would pop popcorn, make our floats and watch movies on Saturday nights :-). With ice cream...

You and your pup can enjoy the holiday together 🙂 Happy early St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! Who is making their pup something special to celebrate? I made these treats for Jake and Maggie this...
Should Dogs Be Allowed In Grocery Stores? Part 2
Are you dying to know what the majority vote is on whether dogs should be allowed in grocery stores? See my post from Wednesday HERE. I promised I would reveal the answer and weigh in on my thoughts as well. Jake and Maggie loved their mini photo shoot this week. The weather was beautiful for taking these pictures. But let me tell you all how hard it is to keep two dogs focused while taking pictures....IT IS HARD WORK! It looks like everyone agrees with the Food and Drug Administration...
Should Dogs Be Allowed In Grocery Stores?
I was in our local JoAnn Fabrics Store the other day and noticed the “Pets Allowed” sign on the door as I was checking out. I expressed my excitement to the cashier but noticed the side eye from the lady next to me. My next stop was Krogers where I saw a couple walking a small dog with a vest that said…”Service Dog Do Not Pet”. The first thing I wanted to do was pet the dog but I had to respect the rules. Service dogs are for people who need emotional support and should be left alone. But...

What Is A Reverse Sneeze In Dogs?
Have you ever heard of a dog reverse sneezing? I never did until years ago when I witnessed our dog Bear doing something very odd that seemed uncomfortable for him. I quickly made a vet appointment only to find out he was having a reverse sneeze episode and would be completely fine. I remember Dr. P. Looking at me and with a little grin because I was panicked and saying…there is nothing to worry about. Bear is going to be fine. So, when Maggie started a reverse sneeze episode the other...
4 Easy Steps To Help You Get Organized
Happy Thursday everyone! What a week it has been! I’m rushing spring to get here and have been spring cleaning all week! I set out on a mission to organize all of our closets and drawers and finished up with that today! One of my items on my bucket list for 2020 was to prioritize my time better and by doing that, I have been making a “To Do” list. What a difference it has made in what I’m able to accomplish. I even made my spring wreath earlier this year and put it on the front door...
How To Protect Your Pet During A Tornado
This post is dedicated to Nashville and all those who have lost their homes and loved ones due to the tornado that hit on Tuesday morning. It is also dedicated to the many animals who were scared and have lost their lives in the storm. My family knows exactly what Nashville is going through. When I was in high school, we had a tornado touch down directly in the middle of our 5 acre property destroying several 100 year old trees including fruit trees, a beautiful weeping willow was split in...
