Rust Stains in a White Sink?
Clorox will set rust. Being from GA, where we are famous for our red clay; which is due to the amount of iron in the soil, I know that bleach only sets rust. Several brand name products were mentioned in the posts that have been archived. Probably any of them...
Dogs Fighting for Dominance?
First, it is good to understand the background of a dog and the purpose for which it was intended. Pit bulls where bred to fight to the death other dogs for sport. This is bred into their nature. I have a boxer, which were bred to go out into the fields, etc...
Coat Cannot Be Washed or Dry Cleaned?
First of all, it would be dishonest to get the cart sanitizers. That is not free, that is stealing. Buy a carton of Clorox wipes (store-brand) if you want to wipe it down with a wipe. Secondly, I have bought lots of things at Goodwill that say not to wash. I...
Deeli's Chicken Liver Pate
This is such a great Chicken Liver Pate recipe. It is identical to one I use that came from a 1995 Martha Stewart cookbook. I have one word of caution/warning. I never reuse the brandy that the raw chicken livers have soaked (that is what caught my eye, as...
Dog's Bottom Itches?
It sounds as if your pup has anal glands that are impacted. The typical symptom is the dog sitting and scooting its bottom across the floor. This is a catch 22 situation. Small breeds are very prone to this. My assumption is that they lack the strength to completely...
Pooter (Weimaraner)
Hello. What a beautiful dog, and Im so glad he found his way into your lives. Others have mentioned that grapes are toxic to dogs. I would like to add that raisins (being dried grapes) are also toxic to dogs. It was quite a surprise when I read about that. We...
Urine Smell in Air Vent?
I am sorry this has happened. Someone used our vent for a potty before we moved into our home. My daughters room smelled terrible. We had to not only close off the vent, but tape cardboard over the vent. We finally got the heating and air people to come out...
Do I Have Fleas?
I am more along the lines of Cyinda. Fleas can jump on people and bite people, but do not NEST on people, but carpet and furniture. The first thing I thought, too, was lice. You say you feel like something in your hair. Lice will nest in your hair...the bite...
Rocky (Boxer)
Here is our boxer. Hubby had boxers as a child, so he prefers the cropped ears. Definitely more boxer-looking. Yours is truly a tribute to the breed...gorgeous boy! Thank you for sharing!
Getting Rid of a Cowlick?
This is always the case; grass is greener on the other side. I have a cowlick and straight hair; I always wanted curls. As I got older, I realized I cant fight it; just go with it. My Mother didnt have a cowlick, but she always talked about how she loved her...
Vegan Cupcake Recipe?
You are very thoughtful to want to prepare vegan cupcakes for these two guests. I will say as a former vegetarian, that if they are attending a wedding of a couple that are not vegans, they will know that there is a normal wedding cake and they should understand...
Eating a Healthy Vegetarian Diet?
Not eating meat is very misunderstood. Whether you are doing it for the sake of kindness to animals, or for health reasons, please do not get caught in the trap of filling up on grains. Pasta and bread, whether organic, white or wheat, simply turn to sugar...
Printers That Are Inexpensive to Use?
Although I have a digital camera, I never print photos from my home printer. I have Costco/Sams/Walgreens/Walmart, etc. to print photos. As far as the cartridges, I have a membership at Costco. There are two locations close to me; however only one will refill...
Cocker Spaniel Has Severe Allergies?
My friend had a cocker with the same problems. My friend was told the dog had an allergy to normal dog food and the dog was put on special allergy formula. Well, as it turns out, the dog wasnt allergic to the dog food, but the particular Heart Worm medication...
Substituting Sour Cream for Oil in Cake Mix?
Hello. I use a lot of the tips given in the books by The Cake Mix Dr. to make a mix taste more homemade. I always use melted butter instead of oil, I use whole milk or heavy cream instead of water, I add extra vanilla for vanilla cakes. To help extend the cake...
Dog Won't Let New People in the House?
I can appreciate you not wanting to give up. My husband and I felt the same way about an aggressive dog we had. The dog did not like men, except for my husband. He was a rescue dog from the pound, so who knows what happened to him. This dog loved children, but...
Burnt Bean Soup?
If you know you have burnt it, without stirring (which will mix up the burned stuff) pour off the main part on the top. Just DONT STIR...that will mix it! You should be able to at least salvage the part that is on the top. Once all is mixed from stirring, however...
Use the Sun to Dry Dishes
What a great idea. My dishwasher has a drying selection for either heat dry or nothing. I almost always choose nothing. No, not sure how much energy Im really saving, but when I am home, Ill open the dishwasher door when the load is done. I figure a lot of...
Too Much Exercise for a Puppy?
Hello. We have a boxer, who will be 5 in June. Weve had him since he was 8 weeks, purchased from a wonderful and reputable breeder. My first boxer, hubby had them as a child. Boxers have a lot of energy. I would, as previously suggested, go for short walks...
Clothes Dryer Isn't Heating Properly?
If you are using the dryer sheets, they can cause a build-up on your lint screen. You wont even see it on the lint screen. To test for the build-up, take the lint screen out, removing all lint. Then, hold the screen under the faucet and put a little bit of...
