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.

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 [ ... ]

Just thinking today, as I, like many of you have done, or are preparing to, sell your house.
This is my home which I have enjoyed and loved, and which has proved to be a comfortable, safe haven to my family and me over the years. I have always taken personal pride in keeping a welcoming, clean, neat and tidy home.
Now, suddenly, I have had to stand back and take a coldly critical look at its’ little deficiencies, including every little paint chip; the wobbly door knob to which I have become accustomed; the odd burnt out light bulb; the fact that my dining room chandelier needs cleaning; [ ... ]

I can appreciate that the new judges require time and experience to take on this task.
Being entertainers, I can understand that they are sympathetic to the contestants who have no singing talent. However, I believe they are wasting their time and our time when they don’t have the backbone to tell the obviously unsuitable contestants that they can’t sing and are totally unacceptable.
When you tell someone who is

Our babies (born Dec. 8th & 9th) have now been semi-weaned.
They still enjoy a little sip now and then, and mommy needs to reduce nursing them slowly. They are very interested in the puppy kibbles and readily welcome a drink of water for a chaser!
The puppies’ wrestling skills have developed to a fascinating level and provide continuous family entertainment for the big dogs and humans alike. It is so exciting to observe their daily progress!

My daughter’s two miniature schnauzers, Kaptain (daddy) & Kurious (mommy), mated back in September, accidentally.
We wanted to wait until the next heat for her to have puppies, but hey, “C’est la vie”!
Kaptain is a super rare blonde colour, and Kurious is an AKC recognized colour of salt & pepper. They are both purebred miniature schnauzers.
Kurious gave birth to seven, count them…7, beautiful purebred miniature schnauzer puppies on December 8th & 9th…5 were born the night of the 8th and 2 more in the wee hours of the morning. She had 6 boys and 1 girl.

I am very upset…
…at the inaccessibility of handicapped wheelchairs in stores.
Problems:
1. You have to make your way over to a service desk to obtain a key to use the chair.
2. When you’re done with the chair, you have to return it back to the place where you got it from and walk to key back to the service desk.
3. Most of the wheelchairs are in atrocious condition. The leather seats are cracked. The armrests catch your clothing. They’re very dirty. Many of them make as much noise as a lawnmower.
4. The aisles [ ... ]

I’ve read this beautifully written novel by Tolstoy and enjoyed every moment of it…
I wasn’t able to put it down to eat and sleep – it was so entrancing.
The beautiful Anna, who finally finds love in the arms of Count Vronski, after living so many years in a loveless, expressionless marriage, becomes a victim of the chauvinistic separation & divorce laws which force her to give up her son in order to experience the comfort of her love.
Having been exiled to live in Spain, she longed for her Russian homeland and her [ ... ]
