I think the time is coming near to put my mini poodle down
kim.4dogs replied to TravelingChris's topic in The Chat Board
If it were me, I think I would decide that it was time. (I have a 14.5 year old large dog whose time is nearing, but I'm not sure he's ready yet.) It's such a tough decision. But if he doesn't seem to be enjoying life anymore, then I think it's probably time. -
We just started using the TOPS electricity unit this week, and we are really enjoying it! I did buy the kit of supplies to go with it, but I didn't need to. I could have easily bought the supplies I needed at the hardware store.

We always stay at the Desert Inn & Suites, which is about as short of a walk as you can get. I always hated having to fold up a big stroller to get on a shuttle too, so walking was much easier. This hotel has always been clean and very reasonably priced.

They are adorable! A friend of mine was fostering five puppies for a rescue group this summer, and we ended up with one of them. (She also kept one.)

I didn't know that. When I needed just one, I went ahead and ordered the set (one boy and one girl), and then sold the girl doll on eBay. The boy doll ended up costing me less than half the price of the set of two dolls.

Okay California girls where are you? (and boys too)
kim.4dogs replied to Rachel's topic in Parents' Forum Networking Board
We are! I can't wait. We are in El Dorado County. -
I bought a smaller Kitchen Aid food processor, and less than a year after I bought it, the top broke. I could only use it by holding it shut and pulling a safety lever. Luckily, we'd bought it at Costco and so we were able to return it. I bought a full sized Cuisinart to replace it. I like it much better! And if it lasts 23 years, I'll be thrilled!

I'm so glad to hear that! I was thinking about you yesterday, and I've been watching for an update.

Getting dog's teeth brushed... is it necessary?
kim.4dogs replied to staceyobu's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Are these products you can buy over-the-counter? If so, I'd love to know what they are! -
I just saw it at my local Costco for $27.99 yesterday. I already bought it for $35.99 at Amazon, and I figured it wasn't worth returning, but hopefully this will help someone else!

Thanks for the recipe! I have a bunch of apples and needed a snack for our Girl Scout meeting this afternoon, so I just chopped them up and added to the crockpot with some cinnamon. :)

pie crust without shortening question
kim.4dogs replied to love2read's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I use two things, depending on what I'm using the crust for. For savory fillings (like pot pies), I use Spectrum shortening. While it's non-hydrogenated palm oil, it's still not very healthy! For sweet fillings, like fruit pies, I use coconut oil. It works great! That is definitely my preference. -
Rat people - I need cage help!
kim.4dogs replied to Renthead Mommy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We used to have rats and found the best cages were the Martin's Cages. http://www.martinscages.com/ They are pretty expensive with shipping, though. -
Fresh20 subscribers-How much chicken?
kim.4dogs replied to sparrow's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Thanks so much! I'd been eyeing this too, but I wasn't sure how much dairy was in the vegetarian plan. (We eat vegan.) With this deal, I figured it was worth a try! So far it looks great, and I'm about to run to the store for my 20 ingredients for the week, instead of spending hours coming up with a menu and grocery list! :001_smile: -
copper iud...tell me your experince
kim.4dogs replied to ktgrok's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I had one for about a year. It worked well for me, and I only had it removed because my dh had a vasectomy. -
Lol Spanish video that your 7-12 yo kids will love...
kim.4dogs replied to Halcyon's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
My kids quite enjoyed it! Thanks! -
My dc hated Rosetta Stone Spanish but loved _______ Spanish!
kim.4dogs replied to tomandlorih's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
We are using this book this year also, and it is working very well so far. It just makes more sense to my kids than other things we have tried! -
We got a puppy a few weeks ago. It has been 14 years since we got our last puppy, so I know what you mean about forgeting what to do! This is my favorite puppy book: http://www.amazon.com/Positive-Perspectives-Love-Your-Train/dp/1929242158/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1348013434&sr=1-1&keywords=positive+perspectives+love+your+dog.+train+your+dog I had been holding on to it for years, just waiting for our next puppy, and I recently lent it to a friend who got a puppy. Of course, we then got a puppy, rather unexpectedly, and I needed that book! I bought it the first night as a Kindle download. Our puppy had to be taken out at night for the first week, but since then he's slept through the night in his crate. When we're not home, he's in his crate. When we are home, he's either being watched by *me*, on a leash next to me, or in a larger pen in the kitchen. Good luck with your beagles! My very first puppy was a beagle. I can't think of anything cuter than a beagle puppy (except maybe two)!

Laundry -- Today I gave notice to my family.
kim.4dogs replied to CalicoKat's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Good for you! I stopped doing my dh's laundry years ago. There was just so much laundry I could never catch up. -
