halloween costumes

                                                                   ZOMBIE
My son, like most boys these days loves to play Zombies on Black Ops. That is what he decided to be this year for halloween. My husband purchased this for him at Party City. Right now they have a coupon to get $10 off at least $25 costume. Halloween is my sons favorite holiday! Probably because he was almost a boo baby, just a few hours past. He has many costumes and wears them all well, he fits right into character when he puts them on. I am just posting the zombie pic for now. I will post the other ones soon.




PEACOCK INDIAN PRINCESS

This year my Destiny wanted to be a peacock. With me being a crafty person, I had to change a few details. " Indian Peacock Princess" I used a few items we had around the house. The brown baby doll tunic I took and added some indian colored beads to, purchased from hobby lobby for around a $1.00. The sweater I added some feathers that I had gotten at a yard sale last year. I sewed and glued the feathers on to  sequin elastic ,you can buy by the yard, around the bottom and sides. I also purchased some peacock feathers,  from hobby lobby, and added them to the back of the sweater and also cut and glued one of the feathers onto a safety pin and put it at her left shoulder. I took a few of the tiny feathers and glued them onto the baby doll along with some cheap bling crystals. I found a fuzzy feather shawl at a thrift store $2 and sewed some elastic around the waist to make it into a skirt, I found a feather headband and feather extention for her hairs. No Indian princess would be complete with out piggy tail braids in her hair!! She loves her costume!!
We will also add some indian war paint  and glitter to her face. Feathers are in this year so they are not hard to find and you can find all colors and prices. The feathers I had gotten from the yard sale can also be purchased at walmart, hobby lobby, or most craft stores. I am going to purchase some brown boots, which she will also wear all winter.

Happy Birthday Chyna!!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl Chyna!! She is 11 years old today. Chyna is one sweet fun loving siberian husky. She has been one lucky dog in her days.!!We have tried our best to keep her healthy, but she always seems to get the worst of things. When she was a puppy, just a few months old she ended up with  parvo. My husband was determined to figure out just what caused her to get this. He checked every place she would go and everything she would do. He noticed that she had been drinking from his small pond, which seemed to be clean and running fine. He decided to drain it anyway. When he did he discovered the problem right off. There had been a dead mouse in the bottom of the pond!! Chyna had gotten very sick from this, the vet had said she may not make it. She didn't want to eat or drink, but I was not going to give up on her. I took one of my sons bottles and would spray water and watered down baby food down her throat every little bit. It took a while, but she did recover from it.Her first near death experience. The second was when she ate some mushrooms that had gown in our backyard, very toxic to dogs! She kinda went through the same kind of episodes as when she had parvo. Again she made it through. Her 3rd bad experience was when she ended up with a  swollen uterus  that was infected and poisoning her body. Her system was starting to shut down. She had emergency surgery to remove it all. Now my poor Chyna has heartworms, something that could have been prevented!! She is still going through treatment, but I know Chyna always pulls through ! She is one Tuff Puppy. She is definitely getting her own cake today and steak cooked just the way she likes it RARE!!

Remember, always check your dogs food and water sources they may be coming from other places than what your provide.
Check your yard for any fungus, sticks, trash, nails, glass anything your dog may get hurt on.
Get your pet spayed or neutered if you are not breeding
KEEP YOU DOG ON HEARTWORM PREVENTION!! don't even skip a month. It's not worth the risk to your animal.
Happy Birthday Chyna!

Greenies Pill Pockets

When you have animals you want to keep them healthy and well. It is a sure thing that your dog will need a pill at least once a month, either for a preventitive or because of an illness or injury.  We have always had our dogs on heart worm pills since they were pups. However, this summer we somehow let a few months slip by without their pills. Well to make a long story short our two huskies have been diagnosed with having heart worms. It is a sad thing knowing that we could have prevented this from happening. They are both now on a treatment of pills ,they have to take three pills twice a day. I was having a hard time giving them their pills without having to force them down there throat, getting my hand all slobbery! !  It was not on my favorite things to do list. My husband had went to petsmart the other day and found these Greenies Pill Pockets. They are perfect, fast and easy to use. Just stick the pill in the center an pinch the end and you are set. My dogs love these and wish they could get more!!! We have already been getting the Greenies dental chews, cleans their teeth really well and the dogs love them too!!
I went to the Greenies website to see what other products they offer, and while I was there I found a coupon offer for $1.00 off Greenies. Click this link refer 2 people to get the coupon and exclusive GREENIES® offers! Pick up your heartworm preventitive TODAY!!
