Simple Hack to KITTY PROOF your cords!

Simple Hack to KITTY PROOF your cords!

Do you have a cat that likes to chew cords? Or in my case TWO CATS that like to chew cords? My home’s “IT WASN’T ME!” list so far this year consists of cell phone cords (x3), a video game console cord, and an essential oil diffuser cord (the unit was a whole TWO DAYS OLD)

WELL GOOD NEWS, no more yelling “KITTY WHAT DID YOU DO!” as your cat FLIES up the stairs because you are using “THAT VOICE” while you hold a teeth marked, wire exposed cord in your hand wondering “HOW THE HECK did they not shock their little furry butt?” as it was still plugged into the electrical outlet.

All you need is some Automotive Wire Covering, it works like a charm and even better, IT IS CHEAP! You can pick it up for less than $1 a foot HERE on Amazon.  I got twenty feet for about $7 (that covers a couple of phone charger cords) and is MUCH cheaper than purchasing NEW ONES all the time, ESPECIALLY if you have a cat that PREFERS the white RAPID CHARGER cord (TWICE) over any other cord in your house. Those are NOT CHEAP. (okay yes, I am still a bit upset with  my cat about this one, WHY, of any cord could it have not been the NORMAL plain old black charger cord)

So there you have it, it really is that simple, will save your cords, save you some money, and save kitty from finding a new home! (Who am I kidding, mine could eat every last cord in this house and I would still love them to pieces, just do not tell them that!)

Dog Tip: Ginger Snaps as a Treat! The Benefits

Dog Tip Ginger Snaps

Dog Tip: Ginger Snaps as a Treat! The Benefits

Do you love Ginger Snaps? Guess what…Your furry friend probably does also! Ginger Snaps are a GREAT Daily Treat for your dog. Most “Picky eaters” like Gingers snaps, and the added benefit, Ginger is beneficial to them!

Ginger is GREAT for car sickness, helps with diarrhea, & soothes their stomach. Ginger also is reported to help with inflamed tissues and muscles.

Our dog gets one Ginger Snap Cookie a day. Everyday I break one into four, and the four times he goes out, he gets a piece.

HE LOVES THEM!

I learned this GREAT tip from my Vet on our Dogs last visit. Usually he is VERY picky and will not take a treat, these he gobbled right up to my surprise, so of course I asked what type of treat it was. His assistant said to grab a bag at the dollar store during our next trip and he has been enjoying them ever since!

If you have the time, you could even make your own healthy option at home for them! (Recipe Below)

Keep in mind, SUGAR is not good for them or for their teeth, SO PLEASE make sure you limit the amount you give them daily. In most cases, a few a day is fine, but of course, with anything you will be feeding your furry friend, check with your vet FIRST!

Dog Ginger Treat Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325° F
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon and cloves until combined.
  3. In a small bowl, using a sturdy spoon, stir together the molasses, water and canola oil.
  4. Pour the molasses mixture into the flour.
  5. Using the same sturdy spoon, stir ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  7. Use your favorite dog cookie cutters to cut shapes.
  8. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  9. Place your cut outs on the baking sheet.
  10. Continue to roll and cut out shapes with the remaining dough.
  11. Bake for 20 minutes.
  12. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Dogs & Zucchini

Dogs & Zucchini

Did you know a GREAT, Healthy nutritious snack that most dogs LOVE is Zucchini? Cooked Zucchini, Steamed Zucchini, Raw Zucchini, Dehydrated Zucchini, the options are endless for your precious pooch!

Every 100 grams of zucchini only has 15 calories, and yet it offers a lot of nutrients such as Vitamin C and B complex, as well as magnesium, calcium, potassium and protein.

Zucchini is also good for their coat and skin, and let’s not forget the benefits to their heart!

Weight Loss or for Nutritional Benefits: Add some shredded zucchini to their food each day. I add some right to my dogs dried dog food and he gobbles it right up! (I do peel them first when shredding)

Give as a Treat: Keep some FRESH chopped up Zucchini right in the fridge for when they deserve a healthy, low fat treat. If you want their treats to last longer and through the winter, dehydrate them.

Like I said, the option’s are endless!

If you have a bit of a picky eater. Try this…

  • 2 to 3 Zucchinis
  • 2 tablespoons of a treat they like (Freeze Dried 100% meat works well)

Use a dehydrator or preheat your over to 150 degrees. Wash your zucchini and slice thin to your preference. In a Ziploc bag, put in the dog treats your dog likes, and use a rolling pin to make them into a fine powder. Put the Zucchini slices in the powdered dog treat mix and shake, shake, SHAKE! Now dehydrate or bake for 8 to 12 hours depending on how thick you have sliced them.

 

How to Remove Stubborn Carpet Stains

By Leave a Comment

How to Get Those Stubborn Carpet Stains Out for GOOD!

Products Needed:
(1) Empty Spray Bottle

(1) Iron (Set on the highest setting)

(1) Bottle Vinegar

Hot Water

Mix the HOT water and vinegar (equal parts) into the spray bottle

 If your house is anything like mine, carpet stains happen all the time.  They are especially frequent in my house because of my very light carpet.  Combined with a 3 year old and a 1 year old, it’s a constant battle.  I’ve been searching for the perfect carpet spot cleaner for years and I haven’t found anything that really works.  I have given up on store bought cleaners because they just don’t cut it!

Recently my 3 year old spilled a very full cup of red Kool-Aid.  Yup, right in my living room on the very light carpet. This has to be every parents nightmare because as we all know, Kool-Aid never comes out!  It was there for almost two months until I found something that worked, and I want ALL parent’s/care givers to see this! Yes, it works!

My son’s wonderful Kool-Aid stain.

As seen in the picture above, I used an empty spray bottle with a mixture of very hot water and vinegar (equal parts).  I sprayed the stain so it was soaking wet.  After that, I took a white towel (make sure it’s white, you don’t want anymore color to transfer into your carpet!) and laid on top of the stain.  Turn your iron on to the highest setting and then on top of your white and rub back and forth.  Like magic, you will see your nasty stain come right UP into the towel!

It’s a miracle! After doing this for about a half hour, it looked like this!(keep re-spraying the stain when needed, moving the towel around so you get every part of the stain)

I continued the process of spraying and ironing on the white towel until it was completely gone!  You may need more than one white towel, depending on how large your stain is!  I have now used this on other stains and it always works!

 

Say GOODBYE to buying Expensive Dog Beds!

Say GOODBYE to buying Expensive Dog Beds!

If you have a bigger Dog like us, Dog beds can get expensive when they can run anywhere from $30 to $60 Dollars! And what is worse, many just do not hold up that well, and when you try and wash the cover, it falls apart! That means you have to go out and BUY ANOTHER ONE because of course we want our “Furry Family Members” comfortable.

Having a BIG German Shepard we found a solution to this! Buy a Baby Mattress and a few sheets! This saved us Money, and an even bigger perk, MORE comfortable for our aging buddy who’s joints were not like they were when he was a puppy!

The Perks of Using a Baby Mattress:

  • Washable Sheets – Yup, you can wash these WEEKLY!
  • Plastic Covering – Most Baby beds have a wipe able surface made of a plastic material.
  • Easier on Joints – With baby mattresses you are getting more support on their joints.
  • $$ SAVE MONEY $$ – You DO NOT have to keep buying new dog beds!

Skunk vs. Dog

By Leave a Comment


Due to the drought in various parts of the country
Animal Control Services are advising pet owners to
not leave out any food or water because nuisance animals
(such as skunks) are looking for water and food.

So what happens when your dog decides to get
up close and personal with a skunk???

I have a 12 pound Maltese so a tomato bath was out of the question.
My neighbor gave me this, skunk remedy and
I have had the pleasure to
confirm that it works on 3 different occasions.
Keep in mind it does not 100% get rid of the smell, but
it does make it bearable.

Skunk Remedy for Dog
1 Quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Liquid Dish Soap or Shampoo
(I use Dawn)

**Be sure to not get this in the dogs eyes**
Mix the above, wet down dog, work the solution
thoroughly into dog’s coat and leave on for 3-4
minutes.  Then rinse out.

You can double or triple the above recipe depending on
the size of the dog.  I have also repeated if after rinsing if
there was any trace smell.  Keep in mind using this recipe
is so much cheaper then buying the “skunk remover” products
at the pet stores.

Good Luck!

Secret to Keeping a CRYSTAL CLEAR Fish Tank… NEVER CLEAN IT!

By 3 Comments

Secret to Keeping a CRYSTAL CLEAR Fish Tank…
NEVER CLEAN IT!

 

Yup, you heard me right…If you want to keep a healthy, clean, fish tank, DO NOT EVER CLEAN IT COMPLETELY! Why you ask? Let me explain…

When you start a fish tank, it is unestablished…YOU DO NOT have any beneficial bacteria in your water to eat the ammonia the fish produce when they go to the bathroom. That is why when you start a fish tank, YOU NEVER want to overload it with fish right away…You only add two or three for the first few weeks, depending on the size of your tank to get the beneficial bacteria built in your tank. If you completely stock your tank right away, within a short time the water will fill with ammonia, get cloudy, and your fish will die off FAST. (Imagine swimming in straight ammonia)

If you add fish to your tank slowly, it gives the beneficial bacteria time to build on the rocks in your tank, and the more and more it builds, the more and more it will eat the ammonia waste of the fish, keeping your water CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Which brings me to cleaning your Fish Tank. SO MANY people make the mistake of cleaning the plants, the rocks, and draining their tank all the way or even half of the way to clean there tank. NEVER EVER do this…You will get rid of all that GOOD BACTERIA that eats the bad!

ALL YOU have to do is get a tank siphon, clean noticeable debris with your siphon once every two weeks ONLY taking the tank down 10 percent with the water and then top it off with fresh water! YOU CAN GO YEARS having a crystal clear fish tank by doing ONLY THIS on a regular basis! Of course you still need to change your filter cartridge as suggested for your filter. In between changes, washing it off helps also.

If right now you have a VERY DIRTY tank… Clean it, BUT DO NOT clean the rocks off, you will lose all that beneficial bacteria. It would also be a good idea in this situation NOT to change the filter out if you are going to start all over. This will leave beneficial bacteria in the rocks and in the filter to give your tank a “Kick Start.”
