I so want one but there is the possibility that there might me a malinois puppy coming here soon.  Anyone interested?  I would be glad to drive up to Austin this weekend and pick one up and foster until transport can be arranged.  Okay I might have to grab one for myself if I pick one up for someone else.

1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves adhesive.

2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean.  The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.

3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.

4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.

5. Spray vodka on vomit stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.

6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.

7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

8. Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.

9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water in a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshable ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.

10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply
the tincture to aches and pains.

11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.

12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.

13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.

14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.

15. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

She looks like a Cane Corso to me or something similat but not like a bull mastiff.  Granted I'm no expert but thought I would ask and also say that she is looking for a new home.

I was playing ball with the pups last night and got the ball stuck in my tiny plum tree.  So I had to perform a reenactment today so you could have pics.  A side note on the tree: if you look really closely to the limbs you can see where Shiner chewed the limbs off.  He pulled it over and exposed the root ball over the winter but it still lives.  This is their favorite glow-in-the-dark ball right now.  Then there are pics of cooling down after all the hard work that I made them do.  You even get pics of my sweet baby faced pig boy.    Enjoy!

so far of course.  All 3 of the dogs are going nuts for this toy that Michael brought home last night for Kaila so he had to bring another one home today and I'm looking for a third one.  Here is a picture of it http://www.dog.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=101992+SM

He got the big size and so far it's still all in one piece.  Just thought I would share especially since we are all looking for the Holy Grail of toys.

Has anyone tried dock diving with your pups?  I'm looking for something to do with Kaila now that I have free time again.  She loved agility but since she has had two partial ACL tears just playing in the back yard I was hoping for something a little less stressful on her legs.  She loves the jumping part of agility the best and dock diving seems like it would be better on her because the water would cushion her landing and then she has to swim back to shore.  Am I thinking correctly on this or way off base.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I still have to take her some place and see if she can swim first. 

I just had to share and I also had to try for a little humor in this post because I just don't like to be sad.  Anyway, I woke up this morning and was leaving to head to work when I saw my little black cat Gigi-Marie lying on her side half under the coffee table.  My cat is cat-atonic and she had a major seizure in front of me.  I'm waiting for my vet clinic to open and am taking her up there.  It also sounds like she aspirated on her vomit.  I think she may have been this way since after 1:00am this morning.  From what I am seeing and since she hasn't even remotely had a coherrent moment since I found her I don't think she will make it.  Please keep her in your thoughts.  She was a feral cat that was trapped at a zoo I worked at nearly 10 years ago.  I have no idea on her age but she was an adult because she never grew anymore after I got her.  Sorry this is so long.

I just got home from dinner with friends and Cinder had broken out of her kennel while I was gone.  Apparently someone was shooting off fireworks while I was gone and she freaked out.  She was all slimy from slobber and is pacing and panting like crazy.  She doesn't want to go outside and is generally upset.  I just had to give her a benadryl to relax her.  I was able to get her to do some sits and a high five for me while I fed them and she refused to eat.  This is the first time she has ever reacted this way and she is nearly 3yo.  Anyone else's dog develop a fear all of a sudden?  I feel so bad that she was all alone when she freaked out.
