I Should Have Thought of This

Last summer, we adopted a black Labrador-German Shepherd mix. They were very cute and extremely lovable. We adapted three puppies. And because there were three of them, so we decided they are going to be happier outside, prancing around in our yard versus being inside where it's not as big as our yard. When they were about 6 months old, they got very fascinated with squirrels. They would chase them all day long. We should have gotten some squirrel repellents before they caught one and eat it. It was a tragedy that we could have prevented. Unfortunately for us, the squirrel was sick with rabies. Our dogs got sick too. It was with a very heavy heart that we had to call animal control to take our cute doggies away. One year after this happened; we took a chance on another dog, this time a Labrador-Beagle mix. This time, we're taking advantage of Havahart® products to keep squirrels away from our yard. We're also keeping our dogs inside. However, a dog must run and play outside. For those times he's outside, Havahart® will ensure that my dog will not catch and eat another squirrel again. I wonder though if they have a product that will protect my roses from my puppies. As of yesterday, he has knocked down and shredded 6 of my prized roses.

Mellow Yellow

I saw this at the mall. It used to be a dollar to play this game. That was 17 years ago. Today, they accept credit cards, and it cost 5 dollars to play. I don't know that I wanted Spongebob so much as to plunk that kind of money on a change to snag it.

The Hammer with Adam Carolla

I like Adam Carolla's podcast. He's funny, insightful and blunt. I heard about his movie, The Hammer. I got the DVD from Netflix and found it to be a very good movie. It's even better than some of Nicolas Cage movies. It is so much better than Gone in 60 seconds. I think every one should see it because it's worth watching. That's Adam and his wife Lynette above.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

I went to my kid's school today and discovered that it was earth day. They planted flowers and tree to celebrate. They even turn off the school lights for five minutes to save energy. It was cool. I was just thinking along recycling, redecorating my fireplace. To be more energy efficient, I should just put some glass tile on it instead of taking down the whole thing. It would give my fireplace the face lift it needs while saving energy and money. The theme for earth day is to save energy and save the earth, too.

Camera-Critters #54

Isn't he cute? His name is Charlie Brown. He's very good at letting us know he needs to go outside to pee. He's not trained yet, but he will be. I'm hoping anyway.
