Doing Your Own Dog Grooming?
Hello Ms.Grammie, Grooming is not difficult. I have groomed dogs for 7 years and I can tell you it takes: patience, understanding and love. Ask to watch a groomer at your local vet or PetSmart. Good Clippers cost about $200.00, far less than you would spend...
Bumper (Himalayan)
Your Bumper is a treasure. We adopted a blind cat from the shelter here in Turkey. Though it is a no-kill shelter, her quality of life was terrible. The moment Brie hears me sit down, she plops her big self in my lap and purrs endlessly. We are blessed!
Curb Shopping
Good heavens, Im not the only one! I live on a military base in Turkey and drive through base housing on trash days. I collect items for the local, migrant farmer workers who have nothing and the local animal shelter. It is appalling what folks throw out - only...
My Dog's Tumor?
My dog had a large tumor on his side for many years. He was old and the vet. advised us to leave it be as it caused him no pain. He lived a long wonderful life. Im grateful we did not put him through surgery. Please dont torture yourself with guilt. Peace, Sharon
When Moving, Set Up Beds First
Great idea Linda. We are stationed in Turkey with the Air Force and have moved eight times to five countries. At the end of a moving day, a rock slab looks good! Thanks for sharing your idea. Sharon

Covering a Picture Frame with Sand and Shells?
Hi Deb, I use Elmers glue and apply a thin coat with your finger. Drizzle the sand over the glue and allow to dry. Blow off any sand that remains. Apply your shells over the sand using a hot glue gun. They really are lovely when finished. Sharon

Gift for Patients at Nursing Home?
What about an electrical massage chair? I really like Laras idea of a fishtank. They are incredibly soothing to watch and low maintenance. Bless you. Sharon
Did I See an Angel?
I believe you saw an angel, Joan. Shortly after my Father died, I was walking through the woods with my dogs with such a horrific state of depression. I heard a bird call, looked up and saw an eagle flying. I was in awe of this magnificent bird! The eagle passed...
Advice With Helping Neglected Kitten?
Hi Joy, Youre right; you musnt give this kitten back to the neighbor. Just the fact that hes covered in fleas tells me he is not cared for. Keep him in the house, speak to the S.P.C.A., explain your situation and perhaps they have an idea how to help. Perhaps...
Fund Raising Ideas for Spay/Neuter Services?
Thank you Noella for your ideas. We are not allowed to solicit for donations but the silent auction might just work. We are hoping to have a haunted house for Halloween, if it is approved by the commander. Thank you for your terrific ideas! Peace, Sharon

Thanks Laura, that is a great idea. We could try that at a restaurant in the village. I really appreciate your post! Sharon
Not So Frugal Newlyweds?
Hi Crystal, Youve taken the first step-identifying the problem. Open a CD account, where the money cannot be touched for an allocated period. Sit down and have a heart to heart talk with your husband. Make a list of all your bills and start paying them off...
Help With Constipated Puppy?
You can also try Laxatone. This is a petroleum based product you can find at the vet. Pet shops also sell something similiar for furballs in cats. It is quite safe. You should also determine why she is constipated. What kind of food is the puppy eating? Is...
Frugal And Loving It
Hello Ginny, Terrific! Youve mastered the art. I am stationed in Turkey and go out on trash days to find treasures. You would be amazed at what folks throw out. I found two huge bags of beautiful baby clothes that I donated to the migrant workers here who live...
