I remember when I was younger, I lived in California for a while.
While I was on the West coast, I had the opportunity to visit a lot of the surrounding states and explore what they had to offer.
However, none of them compared to Arizona with its Grand Canyon!
Back in the day, we went on mules down the trails to see the canyon, and that was actually quite frightening at times with the rocky inclines & declines.

Over these past few winter months, I’ve been crocheting afghans like crazy.
I have a lot of new afghans for cancer patients, that I like the call Blankets of Hope.
You may be a cancer patient yourself, purchasing for a cancer patient, or simply someone who would like to have a homemade afghan like their grandmother would make to keep them warm and have some of the proceeds go towards cancer research & patient outreach.
Nonetheless, I will be posting each new afghan available that’s been made by [ ... ]

Come summertime, we put our winter clothes away and wear lighter cooler clothing, wear strappy sandals, treat ourselves to delicious, cool drinks and when we get too warm, we truly appreciate our air conditioning, and maybe take a swim in the pool from time to time.
These are the things that make the summer months fun and enjoyable.
Keep in mind that our animals can’t remove their winter attire, other than enjoying a somewhat cooler summer haircut by a good groomer, and they sometimes suffer in the hot weather.
Our furry, little children need special attention during the heat of [ ... ]

Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada (INGRID NEWS) – Have you ever had to wait for an unreasonable length of time in a doctor’s office? It is so very annoying!
Recently, I went to a clinic in Niagara-on-the-Lake. My family doctor moved away, so things were in the process of being shifted around.
After I checked in, I waited for some time and then went back to the reception desk to see how things were progressing…I was then informed that their computer system was down and things were taking more time than normal.
I then gave them my name again and the [ ... ]

I could not even imagine, nor do I even want to entertain the idea, of having a Lost Dog.
What pain and sorrow a person would feel. They would be unbelievably worried and heart-broken, to say the least.
You would rack your brain as to if you left the latch on the gate open, or if the wind blew it, or if they discovered another way to get out of the yard.
You would wonder if they would be able to find their way home…
You would wonder if whoever finds them would call it in and take care of [ ... ]

Many people would not be as worried as I am about the puppies in our miniature schnauzer litter going outside now that it’s late winter and thawing slightly.
I just can’t help it…I am a grandma that wants to make sure everyone is taken care of, is healthy, and is loved.
I’ve been expressing my concern that the pooches will get too cold outside. Plus, how cute would it be to get them all dulled up in matching dog clothes and accessories?
Don’t you think that would be absolutely adorable? I do!
They are just so darn cute outside running [ ... ]

Our puppies need their bodies cleaned and their bedding washed at least twice a day.
It isn’t really healthy to fully bathe puppies too stringently or too often. However, puppies need all of their parts kept clean and free of urine and excrement.
Harsh soaps and shampoos are definitely not acceptable as they remove the natural oils from their coats leaving them with dry skin or other skin problems. Also, anything too “perfumey” can cause drying of their skin and coats.
A mild puppy shampoo is advisable, followed by a mild conditioner. A nice oatmeal conditioner would be good.
To this end, [ ... ]

Hurray! Even though it is cold and snowy, we have taken the 7 puppies outside with our big dogs, for the first time, this morning.
We are hoping they will catch on to the idea of going pee, etc. outside. On this first outdoors bathroom time, we had some successes, which is very encouraging.
On this evening’s venture, we had further welcomed successes.
The puppies all seemed to enjoy sliding, sniffing, chasing and playing in the snow with each other and the big dogs. They even succeeded in braving the stairs up to the top level of the patio from the [ ... ]
