And The Best Dental Dog Treats Are….

So back in Mid-May I held a contest for a large amount of dog treats with the contest winner having to keep track and record the results and how they felt that the dog treats stacked up against one another. Fortunately for me and you readers, Gail won the draw and after a month or so, she had written me to let me know of her results and how she liked everything.

Containing Your Pet – Invisible Fence or Real One?

Right around this time of year I spend a great deal of time outdoors and working in the yard. Truth is, I love it. I love being outside in nice weather and I love improving the house I live in. I can also say that I absolutely love having the dogs around me when I’m doing this.

Sure, they dig up the yard in places and generally get into all kinds of areas that they aren’t supposed to, but you know.. [...]

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out..

The next day he was [...]

I Made It To Payday! Budget Update for January 2010!

Over two weeks ago, I posted that I was ‘broke’ for two weeks as my paycheck was already spent. Well, I’ve reached payday after those two weeks.. and well, I’m no further ahead. I was hoping that my laptops screen was lying to me, but alas.. it was not this morning when I checked it over my coffee.

Mind you, I’m not in the depressed state of mind I was that fateful Tuesday since I have a little bit more spending [...]
