tonika1980 Most of those listed can cause my heart to skip a beat, with the exception of the dog. As far as which one I fear the most, I would have to say snakes! It doesn't matter what size, what kind, or where it is...a snake can always scare the daylights out of...

tonika1980 Keeping things clean and orderly is almost impossible with so many young children. The best advice I can give is to set a routine, or as much of one as possible. Make a list of chores...daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc., and follow it. Even if it means...

tonika1980 While I am unable to be a sperm donor, I would consider being an egg donor. Or even a surrogate mother. I understand that there are people out there that long to have a baby, and are unable to. So long as the ones needing the help were not druggies or anything...

I just got back from the groomers with my two Shelties. The bill was $49, but I tipped the groomer, so it was $60. I've thought about ways to save money and cutting out the groomer is one of the things I've thought about. I tried...

tonika1980 I have a poodle and a rat terrier. The latter is care free as far as grooming goes. I'm sure dealing with the shedding won't seem so care free when that time comes, though. As for the poodle, I groom him myself. IT's not always an easy job, and he doesn't...

Just got a fence put up

TrvlArrngr @TrvlArrngr (4045) • United States 7 Apr 10

My dogs are sooo very happy since I had a fence put up today. Now they can run and jump and play. No more leashes unless we want to go on a walk. Do you have a fenced yard? Is it an invisible fence? I have an aluminum fence up.
