Calm Down Time.

Val, to grow daffodils in Florida, it's not impossible but ... you need to dig the bulbs up in the fall (or buy 'em in the fall) and put them in your freezer for a couple months. Then plant them in the ground and they will spout thing "winter's over, now it's "Spring!" That's what my aunt who grew up in Massachusetts learned she had to do!

Thanks Karen. I can't say I'll try that as I'm really not too dedicated when it comes to plants. But, it is nice to know they'll grow here. Anyone want to come plant them?

I have been thinking of you and Dasher and hoped he was doing well, so glad he is feeling good.

Val, that is terrific news!!!!! I have not followed up on Dasher the way I should have. I am guilty of being self absorbed, lately, but I'm delighted to hear that he is finished with his treatment!!!!!

Thanks! I went to the SPCA today to give them a picture for their photo board. More good news. I was going to visit who I suspect was his brother. They were turned in together. I felt so bad about not being able to take them both. I was going to get photos of him. He got adopted too! I gave my name and number. I'm waiting to hear from the manager. I want them to contact who adopted his brother and have them call me. I wpould love for them to be able to see each other again. They say it's against their policy. Lets hope they can bend it. Fingers and paws crossed.

haha... what's dangerous here is when you get fresh poop while it's snowing... in as little as 10 minutes it can be competely covered... uneasy to spot... easy to... uh... not see... and... uh...

Have you ever thought of training your dogs to use a potty pen? This would eliminate this hazard. If you don't know what I am talking about here is a link to an article I wrote about how to train a dog to use it only and never the yard:

I have been fortunate to have this article published in multiple dog magazines. I have also writen other training articles that have been published multiple times in dog magazines as well. To check them out just go to the menu on the left and click on Training Pages.

Great article, Nichole. Sheena's such a beauty, and what a cute little puppy she was. I don't have a pen built, but my two each selected their own "designated area" in our current kennel. We're going to be moving, and I might try this at the new place, as the yard will be much smaller & it would be nice to keep it clean. Star won't even walk around in areas that are used for "potty", not a problem now but could be with a small yard.

Haha... and you HAVE to mention it endlessly.

I do mention it alot don't I? If there's one thing we have here in Florida, it's plenty of sun. There I go again.........
