Merry Christmas from ThriftyFun's Maggie
What a lovely dog she is! A belated Merry Christmas to you all! & all the best for the New Year!
Muffin (Papillon/ShihTzu/Poodle)
Thank you all for your lovely responses! Muffin is pretty small, about 11 pounds, & will probably not grow much more. She is a real little minx, teases Sparky until he plays with her. Other times she just wants outside to check stuff out. We live on an acreage...
Frugal And Green Laundry
I have a question for you, how do you get your Pink Solution to dissolve in the water? I have it & tried some but was concerned about putting it in the microwave for very long or on the stove top. I just used hot water but it didnt dissolve that good. As for...
Peach Pudding Bread
When you say baking mix, are you referring to something like Bisquick???? Sounds good!
What's this Flower?
Your flower looks like ASTRANTIA or Masterwort. It is a perennial, an old garden plant. I have them & enjoy the beauty of how intricit they are made! Nature is a marvel!! Enjoy it!
In Memory of BC (Baby Cat)
Oh Susan, I am so sorry to hear of your loss! BC had a wonderfull owner & life & will wait for you at the Rainbow Bridge! My heart goes out to you & your staff.
Valentine Collection of Tulips and Crocus
Thanks, it is lovely living on Vancouver Island. I used to live in northern Alberta so know what cold & snow is all about too! I do enjoy gardening & do get a bit carried away with having an acreage to do it in! The primulas & daffodils are so lovely now too...
Remembering Faith (Australian Shepherd)
My heart goes out to you! I too, had to part with my 16 yr. old Bandit. I didnt think Id be able to get another dog, but now, 2 yrs later, I have 2 pups & they give me so much unconditional love. It is hard to forget a loved one. Faith will be waiting for you...
Video: Happy Birthday Susan
Happy Birthey Susan! You deserve it, what a great lady! Thanks for all your hard work with this great page! Enjoy it very much! Hugs, Betty
Muffin's Spaying (Papillon/ShihTzu/Poodle)
The fluffy white part you see are her front feet! They are bigger than her back ones, part of the ShihTzu I think! LOL!! Thanks for the response!
Sparky's First Snow
Sorry to hear of your loss, but now you have a new baby to love! Our 2 keep us pretty busy but are sure fun to watch playing too.
Bootsie (Kitten)
What a super picture of such a little sweetheart! so adorable, have lots of fun with him!
Bandit (Shitzu/Maltese)
Oh, he is precious!! what a cutie! I just lost my dog Bandit, he was 16 yrs & 1 mo. Sure miss him. I am wondering if youll send in more pics of your pup. Id love to see what he looks like when he is grown up. Thanks!!
BC Island Gladiola
Hi - this is a pretty new one, so there are only about 5 in the clump. I think the birds help me, because I sure dont rem planting these & havent them anywhere else in the yard! Nice surprises!!
Mia (Jack Russell Terrier) and Dougal (Westie)
Love your pictures, so cute! My dog used to love posing too, always getting into the pictures, but now hes old, he runs away. I think the flash hurts his eyes as he is almost blind. Enjoy & love her, time goes so fast.
Was Getting Married, Now I'm Expecting?
I would also suggest getting married now & with a small wedding. What you will save can help to buy the baby things you will need or for renting a bigger place. Good luck & enjoy the baby!!
Repel or Prevent Pest Infestations Without Killing
I tried the cayenne pepper for the ants, but they just walked right thru it, didnt seem to matter to them.
Using Rit Dye to Keep Things Looking New
Another tip I discovered, is to disolve the dye in some of the hot water, but NOT while the washer is filling, or you get dye particles everywhere in, on, and around your machine! I did that and what a mess to clean up! I dye my jeans when they lose their new...
Removing Sap From Nylon Pants?
I have found that if I wash my sappy clothes in really hot water with laundry detergent, they come out clean.
Murphy the Wonderdog (Miniature Schnauzer)
What a little sweetheart! Looks like a cheeky little fellow!! Is he high maintenance, like grooming? Enjoy him!
Buster (Shih Tzu) Sophie and Susan
How cute! I like the way it looks like the cat has her claws dug into your arm & hanging on!! My brother had a cat that travelled with him everywhere, laying across his shoulders & the back of the truck seat. I bet they do have fun, good companions!
Lovely Yellow Primula (Preventing Slugs and...
Hi Kathy, Primulas are perennials & keep spreading, so you can divide them & have more. They dont have a scent that I know of, unless there are some rare species that do. They do come in many colors & are pretty hardy. They only bloom in spring. I hope you...
I Love You Chickie!
Hi Betty: What a lovely photo of your Morgan hugging her hen. Its no wonder the eggs she lays are so yummy! Hugs...Mary Duncan
Blue Anemones, Daffodils and Primulas
Thank you for your nice comments, sorry, dont mean to make you feel bad!! We are very fortunate here on Vancouver Island, something is in bloom almost all year long! We dont get many days below zero in the winter & the grass gets green from the rain. I used...
In Memory of Little Bit (Chihuahua)
My heart goes out to you in your loss. Thank you Peggy for telling me the story of the Rainbow Bridge, because before too long, I know my dear old Bandit will be playing in that field too, waiting for me.
Bogart (Lab/Terrier)
Have you tried dressing him up in shirts & hats? My Bandit likes to be human, willing to wear anything as long as we tell him how pretty he is!! It all started when we had him nutured so he wouldnt lick the bandage. We put a T-shirt on backwards, tail thru...
Myatuk (Alaskan Malamute)
What a beautifull picture! He looks so happy sitting in the daisies!! May you have many fun years with him.
Baby Food Jar Christmas Tree
They really look nice. You can also put a 3 wide green (or whatever color you like) ribbon around the tree part, or around the whole thing, just finishes it more.
Toby (Yorkshire Terrier)
What a sweetie! & right in there with the lovely flowers! Does he get into mischief & dig in there? LOL!!
Pileated Woodpecker and Bird Feeder Pole
Arent they wonderfull to see so close up! We have them come into our feeder right near our house, they love the suet. I am on Vancouver Island, BC & we have lots of birds, feed them all year. We are in the country on an acreage & no cats around. We even had...
Bandit (Poodle, German Bearded Collie X)
Dear Natalia, I am so sorry to hear about Dutchess. Thank you for your info about what else Bandit might be. Thanks to JC also for your memories - all too true, our favourite campground thing, doing tricks with all the dogs - Bandit got most of the cookies...
