I just now heard on the nightly news that they have set up a pet food bank to help pet owners with food and treats for their pets. I did not catch a phone number but I did catch the city. It was Alanta GA. Have you heard of such a...

windymyre I think this is a great idea. There are so many people struggling right now & I'm sure it is hard to feed their pets as well. I hear all the time about people who have lost their homes to foreclosure & when they move, they leave their pets behind. Often no one...

This is a long story, but please read everything because it is important to understand the whole picture. We have a lot of children in our neighborhood, and their parents just send them out everyday during the summer to just play...

windymyre Yes, I think you are right to be mad! The mother is lucky that you didn't call the police. This girl needs to be taught some manners before she gets older & thinks that this type of behavior is acceptable. Is there a father & does he speak better English?...

windymyre I can almost relate to your situation! A cat adopted us this past winter. At the time, we didn't know she was pregnant. She gave birth to a litter of kittens on St Patrick's day this year. She had them in a box in our computer room. Soon after we found homes...

It has finally gotten hot here where I live! I went to Arby's to grab lunch the other day on my lunch break from work. The cashier asked me if it was still nice outside. I told her that I just dash from one air conditioned place...

windymyre I am in Michigan in the United States. It is summer here now & has been hot for the last few days. Before then the temperature had been pretty mild. I've heard that turning your air off & on costs more than keeping it on all the time. But I guess it isn't...

I've been doing a lot of research online for natural flea remedies for our dogs. I've heard that putting lavender, rosemary or eucalyptus leaves under their bedding repells fleas. Has anyone ever tried this? I also read a lot...

windymyre Do you know where to buy Brewer's yeast? Oh, it just dawned on me, does that mean "brewer's" as in making beer?? hmmm! I'm willing to try just about anything to keep all those chemicals off my pets. The outside cats keep coming in & bringing in more & more...

Do you know the meaning of your name? My name means "dark haired" & that is what I am! My brother's name means "bringer of light". That is kind of funny because often when we turn on a light we will say, "and God said 'let there...

windymyre For as much as I would like to, no, we are not keeping the kittens!! I will work hard to find them new homes like I did with her last litter. I am going to see if I can get people to donate $10 per kitten towards having the mom spayed. She has had 3 litters of...

windymyre I could go on & on about this topic! Unruly kids really get to me. My husband & I went to a concert last week & I was not having a good time because of the people around me. The lady in front of us kept leaning over to talk to her husband & they were pointing...

windymyre I don't think my husband would wear pink either, but I've never bought him anything that color! When we got married, our wedding colors were burgundy & silver & I wore a pink lace dress & carried pink roses. Then a few months later my cousin got married &...

Everyone's definition of puppy mill is different. I thought it would make for an enlightening discussion here on mylot to discuss what the term 'puppy-mill' means to us. For me, personally, I think there is no such thing as a...

windymyre To me the word(s) puppy mill mean a place where dogs are kept only to have litter after litter of puppies for the monetary gain of the dog owners. These dogs are not pets, but tools used to make money. Often the dogs have so many litters of puppies that they...

windymyre I've never thought of it that way! I've just always been grateful that we are the superior species & no one is setting out giant traps to catch us! ;) We did have to use the glue boards, as we call them, once at a place where I worked because we couldn't use...

Do you like your Oreo cookies frozen or room temperature? I like mine frozen actually. I love the extra crunch + then they are a little bit out of sight out of mind then they last longer in my house.

windymyre After reading your question a couple of days ago, last night I put the last 3 Oreos in the freezer. I ate one this morning & I have to say that I like them better room temperature. The frozen Oreos were too hard for me. Maybe it was because they are Fudge...
