Anyone here have a good solution for rust water stains on porcelain..namely the toilet and tub? The commercial cleaners I've tried are useless...I think mainly cause there is no way to let it soak on the stains...they just run down into the bowl/drain. I know this group has a wealth of...

About a month or so ago I had Jack and Macy professionally groomed...not a first time for Jack, but it was the first for Macy. I usually groom Macy myself, but wanted to treat myself to clean dogs (most women would treat themselves to a day at the spa getting themselves groomed...it is a bigger...

Saw this story in our local paper and wanted to share. As a mom to a Bernese Mountain Dog, canine cancer is a cause close to my heart. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/dailycourier/s_634770.html

When we brought Jack, our berner, home 5+ years ago I was head over heels in love. And over the early years of having him, I couldn't imagine ever wanting a different breed of dog. He was perfection wrapped in fur and I was hooked...berners were the only breed for me. Fast forward to 2 years...

Let me just say that this DOESN'T happen in my house. Our pets prefer to remove ornaments and presents from the tree. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUtPKbMwnRo

Got this email this morning and it made me laugh. I smelled a smurf on your car because I'm sexy and I do what I want. What did YOU do?? Pick the month you were born: January-------I kicked February------I loved March--------I karate chopped April ----------I...

We recently had our annual Berner picnic. Jack's breeder and their partnering kennel sponsor the picnic every year and it is a great day out with some great dogs. I organized the games for the day and it is always a hoot to watch. I took Macy this year and she had fun. She was representing...

This is so not dog related, but everyone here sleeps, so thought I'd pose a question to you all. My husband has lower back problems and sleeps on the couch most of the time because our mattress is just too firm for his back. Does anyone here with lower back pain have mattress recommendations...

Macy got a visitor today...her bestest Valentine, Laddie. They had a ball playing and I think Macy will be sleeping the rest of the night!! A tired dog, is a good dog. Check them out~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrPYkaKIexk

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my little Miss Macy. She will be celebrating this evening with some very special treats and a special dinner. Happy Birthday Pretty Girl!!

My mom is thinking about buying one of the new Bissell upright vacuums. The two new models are geared towards pet owners (Pet Hair Eraser and Lift-Off Pet). She doesn't have any dogs, but has 3 very hairy cats. I told her I'd post to the list to see if anyone has one of these Bissell vacs and if...

Am wondering if my eyes were being true to me. I saw a really cute commercial last night for Hoover windtunnel. The commercial opened with a newfie walking in the door and he decides to shake right in the entry way. It is a sort of slow motion shake and you can see the hair flying off of...

On the first day of creation, God created the dog. On the second day, God created man to serve the dog. On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth (especially the cow) to serve as potential food for the dog. On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor...

Hi All, We have a new addition to the Burrell house...a wee kitten. Last month we lost our beloved Casper, who was without a doubt my husband's cat. A new kitten was in order to help ease Jason's broken heart. We got him yesterday and we named him Willie. Anyway, I need good tips for...

SueM gave me a gentle reprimand for not posting pics of Macy lately, so here are a few. Macy is 8 mos old now and is a real pip. She is truly an adolescent...mouthy, stubborn, prank puller, does what she wants..when she wants! She has her big girl fur now. So shiny and sleek. She is all...
