Yeah. Cones of shame. Freeman is the one with the infected butt, but since I know Chester won't leave his butt alone, he gets a cone too. Can't have one feeling special and not the other one. :)
Happy National Dog Day to the wonder pups Chester and Freeman! They're a little confused about why Dad keeps putting everything in boxes and why Mom isn't here. We're all super excited to see Mandi on Saturday and move to our new place in Florida!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that you all had a great day filled with family, friends and food. Kevin and I went to The Quirks house. We had a great evening with Meg and Nick, her parents, her grandma and her brother. The food was great. Kevin made his mom's broccoli casserole and it was a big hit. We also had two pies for dessert, pumpkin and chocolate. We spent the day watching football, looking at clothes, talking and playing cards. It was a great day with friends.

We also got up at 6:30 am to participate in Black Friday. i have never gotten up early for Black Friday. I have shopped on Black Friday, but on my schedule. Last year I got the black leather boots i had been hunting for for a really good price, at 1pm. This year, we were in need of a new vacuum. You can't be in a house with two dogs and a cat and no vacuum for very long. Sam's Club had a good deal so we decided to get there when they opened to see if we could get it. It wasn't that bad! They gave us coffee while we waited in line and we only had to wait 15 minutes. There was barely a crowd and everyone seemed to know what they wanted. We all walked to our items, loaded them up, paid and walked out. We were in the store 30 minutes. I had so much fun, I decided to try other stores. We went to Walmart where I got some socks and a Christmas present. Then we went to JCP where Kevin got a sport coat for $40 and jeans for $15. I got a pair of leather booties for $20. After a quick trip to Target we went home and watched some of the movies we got. Then I passed out. It was a good day. :)
Hey there dog lovers! Our furry babies are part of the family, and when a family goes on a budget, they don't have to be excluded. Everyone needs to pitch in, right? :)
I was recently told that there are a lot of things that we buy for our pets that we can make ourselves. My mom told me about a DIY flea spray and itchy skin bath that she learned about watching her favorite PBS show, Deals. I haven't tried them yet, but they are on my radar...
Here are some of the things that work with our dogs. Try them out and see if they work for yours. Cheers!
#4. Milkbones can be pricey. Everyone likes a treat now and then and dogs are no different. But since it IS a cookie, stretch the box even farther (and healthier for your dog) by breaking a milkbone in half. Chances are, your dogs will just be happy with the treat, regardless of size.
#5. We've recently discovered that "treat" has many meanings to a dog. For training, you can use a piece of dog food as a treat. Our dogs really like ice cubes. Ices cubes have now become a inexhaustible treat source that is practically free and they can have as many as they want. Ice cubes also help them get some water when they are too tired to go their bowl after a walk.
