This is what’s left of the maple tree

DB had the tree and stump removal guys on Friday to cut the tree down.  The Lawrence Tree and Stump Removal guys did a good job cutting the three to pieces just right for us for our firewood. The rest of the tree went into their truck.  The stump will be removed on Monday.  I told DB to leave the stump so it won’t cost us so much money.  Removal of the stump cost more than cutting the tree down.

The side of the bedroom is now much warmer, no more shade from the tree.  And of course it makes the bedroom and the bathroom brighter, morning and mid morning sun baking in.  It would  be nice in the winter, but summer???

New dog products for the boys

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

The boys, Cooper and Ranger have been spoilt by me a lot.  I told my friend if can be, I would like to reincarnate to be a domestic dog like one of these boys.  Ranger in particular has the most TLC, tender loving care, from both DB and I.  First of since he was an abused dog from being neglected by his previous owners and he had no human contact since he was a pup, we both felt very sorry for him.  I, especially, showered him with tons of pats and special treats for him.   The next crazy thing we did was sending both dogs to a dog spa where they will get a bath, some kind of soak, and grooming.  It was worth the money because when they both came home, they were smelling good, their coats were soft with a shine on them and they were both tired.

One of my bad vices are browsing the internet, and when I do see the current dog products these boys are taking or using like their glucosamine, Missing Link powder, rawhides and ear cleaning solution.  I used to buy them toys but not anymore.  The rawhides will keep them entertained better.  Plus with Ranger’s skin allergies, he has to be bathed every week with a special dog shampoo for his itchy skin.  A dog itchy skin emits a smell from the extra oil from their oil glands which can be hard to tolerate if its not bathe often.  The shampoo I use are from natural oatmeal and other natural microbacterial ingredients that help relieved the itchiness.  I try not to use shampoo that contains all these harsh microbacterial ingredients that is making his itchy skin too dry and flaky.  Some of these shampoos are also suitable for his hot spots.  Yes, Ranger is a problematic dog, but we still love him the same and his adorable face and character melts yours and every one’s heart!

I am blessed to make my acquaintance with Beachlover, a Malaysian residing in Long Island, NY.   Thanks very much for this award, Beachlover.  I, too, cannot believe I make more friends through blogging. 

And with this award, I would pass it on to Trinity and Pearly
