Old dog- new tricks! 

I found this on Pinterest and I'm in love! Long haired dog and winter baths are kind of a hassle. Especially since my pup is now 15 and she gets chilly easily. With this she looks great, smells even nicer and the house doesn't smell like couped up dog! 

Equal parts corn starch and baking soda (for this size container I used 1/4c of each) 3-5 drops lavendar essential oil (whole foods for $7) place in new (this part is important the corn starch will absorb old food scents) cheap Ziploc container. Mix it up with a fork. Drill little holes in the lid and viola! You now have doggie dry shampoo in a convenient little shaker! 

I wonder if this would work on the horses... :-)

it is the saddest fact of life

As I look back on past events both personal world-wide I see that too often we live in a world that finds it easy to hate and distrust. We live in a world where it is believed best to be selfish, rude, hurtful, isolated, partisnal, arrogant, stubborn, demanding and pius.  

Familys are being torn because of  tragedy in the world. Fights, riots, and muttered statements are blooming from this seed of pain. 

This world needs love. Peace. Understanding. Compassion. Care. Patience. Hope. Faith in human kind. 

Please, let us work to make this world a little better. Let us look into our hearts and dig out the jaded, ripped up and mangled pieces and find ways to heal them. Let us search for peace. Let us strive to share goodness. 

The only way to save the world is to start sharing love with those around you. And as they spread that love to others it will reach very far. The only way to have love to give is to be given love. Give, share, hope, love.
