How's everyone doing? Lots of snow predicted for this area. 12+ a possibility. I see many areas in Tennesee, Kentucky, Southern IL are under the threat of tonrados, some have already touched down causing damage. Stay safe everyone and check in if you can.

I have a foster Mastiff here who was just diagnosed yesterday with cardiomyopathy. I've gotten some good leads to look into...thyroid, taurine deficiency, but need as much info as I can get. Her symptoms are in tune with the left side being ballooned. Loss of appetite, cough, crap in the...

Halloween Hangman

First you find yourself a nice raft, something like this: And then you talk Collin into climbing aboard. See? It's simple. Crisis averted.

Nixon doesn't quite look like the black boy Newf I had in mind for our next dog, but sometimes things happen for reasons we don't understand. (And who am I to try to figure it out?) Nixon turned 2 in Feb., and was owned by some people that my husband's aunt knows. They have 2 small kids...

We're looking at taking Collin to Disney, so I've been checking out all the options. Does anyone know if it's more beneficial to book online ON the Disney site? Or better through a travel agent? And for those of you who have gone with kids in the 8-10 range, what were their favorite...

This months issue of Dog Fancy has the top 20 dog parks in it. The dog park just outside of the town I work in made the list. I believe it is for their agility section. This part has an agility area, smaller dogs area, big dogs area, and another area that has a pong for the dogs to swim in...

This weekend a little boy died at a campground a little over a mile from my house from carbon monoxide poisoning. They did not have a carbon monoxide detector in their camper. There were a few contributing factors to this...a leaky hose on their heater, compounded by the camper being backed...

I woke up this morning to the ground covered in white. The sides of the trees are plastered with snow, and the wind is howling. I've lived my whole entire life here in northern IL, and never remember it snowing this time of the year, although I'm sure it happened. We're under a winter storm...

My sister has an OLD Mastiff rescue who has had problems with his toenails. He now has 2 of them that are gone, they are raw and sore. He keeps chewing at them, and the poor thing is favoring that foot. It's a rear foot, and he has arthritis pretty bad, so just watching him try to get around...

I have some Cetyl M that needs a home. There are at least 50 of them, maybe more. These are free to anyone who wants them. They were Owen's...they're just going to waste sitting here. First one to contact me can have them.

Anyone watch this? I love watching it! I am just totally amazed at some of the prices the cars bring. I loved watching Caroll Shelby's car auction off for 5 million. Can't imagine WHERE the people who buy these make that kid of money, especially considering the guy who bought Shelby's car...

Has anyone been to one of these stores? I've been seeing commercials about them, and got curious. They carry kitchen cabinets, furniture, and stuff that they claim are much cheaper than going to a regular store to buy them. They're supposed to be first runs...not scratch and dent, so I'm...

I have a question for any of you who have used Danish oil. I bought some unfinished oak cabinets for around my washer and dryer, and was looking at staining options. The Watco Danish Oil caught my eye. It says it's a one step, and gives a hand rubbed finish without all the work. Have any...

I'm digging your new avatar. There's gotta be a story about it. Do tell.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point. 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman...

Owen could use alot of good thoughts right now. I had to leave him at the vets late this morning. I don't know the particulars...all I can tell you is he's dehydrated, has lost 10 pounds since his last time his weight was checked, has blood in the urine, and his kidneys are not good. Liver...

I'm doing some reading on different ingredients. On the naturapet.com site, there is an areas that will tell you about various ingredients. For rice it says:Rice, unless listed as brown rice, is the de-hulled rice kernel, without the bran -- known as white rice. Rice, in its whole form, is a...

Owen has been under the weather over the weekend. He's not eating, and just down in the dumps. He threw up after drinking water this morning, but has drank since then and is ok. I did get him to eat some scrambled eggs this morning (Thanks Gwynn!). I have some boiled chicken cooling off for...
