Hi, thought you would enjoy the compliment…

Petey saw Dr. Doug Hill for his annual check up.  Dr. Doug said Pete
just makes him smile!  Said all of our dogs were nice and well
behaved.  Murphy’s law…had Pete in the office once more in just 8
days with some sort of bacteria/fungus between his toes, hind feet.
Again, Doug just lit up and chuckled as he diagnosed Pete’s
problem…he repeated how great a dog he is.  In addition to meds,
will also wipe his paws with the water/vinegar solution and hope it
will help…of course he’s gonna smell like a pickle…”Peter Piper
picked a peck of pickled peppers…”!

Doggy Wading Pool Gardens..by Kathy

Hi Debby,
I had read about using kids’ wading pools for a raised bed vegetable or flower garden.  But with my very brown thumb, I thought it would be fun to work on an even smaller scale, using doggy wading pools.  The apso pack watched with great interest, hoping the pools might be perfect for burying bones.  Instead I am starting carrots, spinach, peppers, and eggplant. Layering all the different soils and compost was a bit like making a lasagna!  Will let you know if the gardens are a success!  Here is a link to the wading pool blog:  http://gallimaufree.wordpress.com/   After accessing, then click on Wading Pool Gardens.

There have been some gorgeious gardens shared on the blog. Follow the sequence from our seeds to the table!  Thanks to Katy’s encouragement to grow our own vegetables and Vickie’s suggested dinner menu…enjoy the cyber feast!

The spinach not only makes delicious salads, but Vickie suggested quesadillas made from spinach, chicken, mushrooms and cheese!  Home grown carrots, peppers and tomatoes up next!

Charmed…by Kathy

Positively Charmed by Fleetfire Timbers Lhasa Apsos!

Do you have an old charm bracelet stashed away in a jewelry box?  I don’t wear mine any longer because the charms are so heavy and somehow my wrist grew larger (smile!)  But I love the delicate golden figures, gifts from my mom and aunt.  Each charm celebrates a special moment from my childhood through teen years.  They are especially dear to my heart as “the sisters” have passed on.

I do wear necklaces!  So for a lot of fun under $20, I crafted the above charm necklace.  Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabrics and Michaels run frequent sales on their jewelry making materials…even found a tiny prayer wheel that spins!  How about making one for yourself and share it on the blog?

Have fun!
Kathy
