So happy

I am so happy. I just ordered some new things for the house. I am putting in window boxes on the front of the house. They are going to look so pretty and make the house look much better out front. Just because I have kids and yes they leave their toys and stuff outside all the time, doesn’t mean that the house has to look run down. I have seen how nice the flower boxes look on other houses and cannot wait to put some up here.

A window box is easy to keep up and the dogs cannot get into it and tear the flowers up. That is a major plus. My dogs are constantly digging in the flowers and such. I have to keep fencing up around the garden to keep them out or they will dig up all of my vegetables. I am so stoked. I cannot wait until they arrive. I just love shopping online.

Tired from Cooking

Wow – I’ve been on my feet since 8 o’clock this morning cooking all kinds of food for Thanksgiving dinner and I’m really tired. I needed to take a 20 minute break and get off my feet, check emails, and throw the ball for my poor neglected dogs. The dogs are very happy to have me in the kitchen – they get lots of scraps and anything I drop on the floor is cleaned up immediately by at least one grateful dog.

We’ll have dinner at 8:00 tonight and I’m already hungry. It will just be six of us at the table, but that’s plenty! Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and eats lots of good food today.

No Bones for My Dogs

As a kid, we had a bunch on dogs to play with on my grandfather’s farm. I loved running and playing with them across the yard and the corn fields. But they were mostly hunting dogs – not house dogs. They ate all kinds of thing. My grandmother would scrape the plates after meals and just toss it all outside for the dogs to get.

But now I have dogs that I love dearly and my vet has told me to not ever give the dogs tables scrap and to make sure they never get bones. The bones, especially from chicken and turkey, can splinter and the sharp points can slice up the dogs insides and kill them.

I sure had not eve thought of that and I guess it is a miracle that my grandfather’s dogs never suffered from internal bleeding and died from eating bones. But I don’t want to take a chance with my dogs, so no bones for the dogs. Not even steak bones. The vet says to stick with dog food and as long as I have money for real dog food, my dogs will get the best I can buy.

Dog Food

My dogs are pretty picky about their dog food. I only buy name brands and I only buy the chicken flavor. When I buy the beef flavor, they get upset stomachs.

So, I have tried to stick with chicken dog food for my beloved pets. They especially like the Purina brand dog food that is in the red bag and has big chunks of chicken in it. They gobble down the Purina dog food and I have noticed that they pick out the big chunks of chicken first and then eat the rest.
