willowbean For me it depends on where I am during that particular season. I love summer in Washington and in Oaxaca, but not in Arizona or California. I don't like winter in Alberta, but I do like it in New Mexico. Overall, I prefer spring and fall because they tend...

willowbean I've been wearing glasses since I was 10 years old. I remember the first time I rode my bike to school after I had glasses and I was amazed that I could actually see things. My vision is pretty bad, it's been a while wince I've had it checked (thanks for the...

best kinds of dog food

moose8 @moose8 (483) • Canada 8 Jun 08

recently I have been feeding my dog iams dog food. But the other day in the paper I read that dog foods like iams have cancer causing products put in them. So now I want to get my dog something healthy but doesn't have any hidden...

willowbean Iams is not that great of a dog food. They changed their formula dramatically when Proctor and Gamble bought them in 1997. They use low quality ingredients, and a lot of fillers. It's not the quality of the food that makes them so highly recommended by...

willowbean I read just about everything and am always reading something. I do a lot of my reading on my breaks at work and in the evening. Thankfully I read really fast so even with just leaving a book in my car to read on breaks I can get through one in about a...

Do you hand quilt or machine quilt?

susanh39 @susanh39 (200) • United States 11 Jun 08

My Momma has hand quilted for years and her quilts are absolutely stunning. However, I have tried hand quilting and it just isn't my thing. I am experimenting with machine quilting now. Even though I agree that hand quilting adds...

willowbean I did some hand quilting when I was younger but only ever finished one quilt. Now I have a great machine and have been working on quilting again. It's so much faster with a machine and I find it much easier to maintain nice straight lines by machine...

Do you kiss your pet Dog?

Morning Girl @salonga (27775) • Philippines 6 Jun 08

I love my dogs and they are kept clean and tidy! But really I cannot stomach kissing them as I would see other people who kiss their dog. One time I even saw a woman whose letting her dog lick her lips. Oh, is that no...

willowbean I let my dogs kiss/lick my face. It doesn't bother me too much. My partner will not let the dogs lick her face because it grosses her out. To each their own I guess.

Responsible Pet Ownership

monica1981 @monica1981 (466) • United States 10 Jun 08

I live in an apartment complex, and it bugs me how many people do not pick up after their dogs, and also let them run loose. A German Shephard got loose the other day and almost ran through the screen trying to get my dog. How...

willowbean This drive me crazy as well. It's really sucks to step in a 'present' that someone else's dog left behind. If people aren't keeping their dogs leashed in your complex it may be worth it to contact your landlord. Most urban areas have leash laws, and it...

What kind of dog do you have and why?

Dreamweaverr @Dreamweaverr (131) • United States 11 Jun 08

Mine is a mutt but a beautiful and loving one. I wanted a big dog, with a nice solid bark, not a yap and a loving temperament who was protective of me and mine. She is half dalmation, quarter black lab and quarter mastiff. She...

willowbean I have two fabulous mutts. One is a greyhound/shepherd mix and the other is a Irish wolfhound/Golden. The greyhound/shep mix I got from the pound when I was really depressed and needed something to help get me out of bed everyday. 4 years later I'm doing...

Thinking about an addition to our family

Trace86 @Trace86 (5030) • United States 11 Jun 08

My husband and I are thinking of getting a dog. We already have a 5 year old spoiled cat. I was thinking that we should get a dog that is just a bit bigger than her so that she won't try to intimidate it too much. I also want a...

willowbean Are you trying to avoid shaggy hair because of shedding issues? Or is grooming more of a concern? My short haired dog sheds pretty consistently throughout the year, but my longer haired dog sheds once and then is done. It's so counter intuitive! One of the...

Greyhound Lab mix

celestemichelle @celestemichelle (429) • United States 11 Jun 08

A couple I recently met had an unusual dog. It's a greyhound/lab mix. At first glance I just thought it was a small lab, but then I noticed that he carried his ears back, and tail low like the greyhound, and has a more stream-line...

willowbean I have a greyhound/shepherd mix and she does bark and doesn't chatter her teeth. She is really nervous though and was much more so when I first got her. She is very odd looking. She has gigantic ears on a sort of slimmed down shepherd head, and a greyhound...
