I am a foster for an animal rescue. Here's just a small part of my story.

I love animals and have volunteered to care for them in my stay in Tennessee. I’ve volunteered to groom rescue puppies on their way to other foster homes, I’ve fed baby squirrels and possums at Walden’s Puddle. I’ve been a foster mom to several dogs at my tiny farm there and had 19 dogs at my house the day the 500 year flood hit.

It had been raining and the water from the nearby river had been going up and down all afternoon that day. A walk 2 doors down would show the water had risen over the banks and was filling the neighborhood. As dark fell,I ran through the house with water squishing under my feet and up to my waist outside.

In disbelief this was happening to me, to us, with the help of my neighbor we were able to get 15 dogs and a cat in my SUV. In the pitch black we made our way to a friend’s house who had a super big yard, but she wasn’t home. It was good we were traveling away from flood waters and ended up in Nashville at a red Cross station where people were gathering away from the flood.

It just so happened the Nashville Humane Society had stationed a semi with cage banks inside. They had plenty of room for all 15 dogs, Smokey the cat and me.

Disasters can displace many people and their pets. I was very fortunate to have a network of other animal rescuers who had exactly what I needed. We were invited to stay at their home that not only had a private room for me, but a huge fenced area complete with dog houses, water bowls and dog food.

In about 3 months, not being able to return home because it was only rubble, we were able to secure another house with an exceptional fenced-in yard in a nearby town.

I felt very fortunate to have such a journey with almost 20 dogs in tow.

Fostering can be a super rewarding experience. Many people can send the babies they’ve cared for for many months to forever homes. I am one who did it, but not without sadness and letting go.

If you have the room in your home and heart, so many dogs and cats need you to be their foster parent while they find their forever homes.

Dogs and Cats can’t live on dog food alone.

They need more nutrients that only food can’t provide. We, humans, take vitamins to boost areas where we’re missing key minerals and vitamins. They all target different cells and bones and such in our bodies. Our pets need a boost too!

Since 2005 Nuvet has demonstrated to me that it enhances the immune system so the body works its magic fighting off environmental influences, by delaying problems, eliminating some and I’ve seen it prolong life in otherwise unhealthy dogs.

Breeders have found the answer to healthier puppies that turn into healthy adults by using Nuvet supplements.

Give it a try and see what results you can get from giving your best friend an immune system boost. 60 Day Money back Guarantee.

I'm sharing all my knowledge and letting you know everything you always wanted to know about high velocity dog dryers.

My favorite high velocity dog dryer is the K9 mini.

Why I like the K9 mini:
✅ Wattage won’t blow fuses
✅ Sturdiness
✅ Small hose for small hands
✅ Nozzle can be replaced with a Water peeler ( recommended to produce more force, can fluff, straighten and dry fast by holding nozzle closer to hair roots)
✅ American made
✅ Not loud
✅ Blows warm air on high and low

The price is more than some, but great for dryer that lasts for multiple dogs and years.

Don’t mess with cheap dog dryers!

What questions do you have about nail clipping?

11/06/2024

How does shampoo get hair clean?? 🤔

What you need:
✅ Jam jar (or other small container) with lid
✅ Cooking oil
✅ Water
✅ Dish liquid or shampoo

How to:
✔️ Put some cooking oil and water in a jar. Screw the lid on tightly and shake.
✔️ Let the jar stand for a few minutes. The oil and water separate into layers.
✔️ Add a few drops of dish soap to the jar and screw the lid on tightly again.
✔️ Shake and leave for a few minutes.

😲 You should see a cloudy mixture. The oil and water are no longer in separate layers.

What happened?
Since oil and water don't mix, they separate into two different layers. Soap breaks up the oil into smaller drops, which then mix with the water. This is how soap cleans your hands - it causes drops of grease and dirt to be pulled off your hands and suspended in water. The oil, water and dirt drops are then washed away when you rinse.

By allowing shampoo to sit on hair for up to 5 minutes, the soap molecules have time to attach to the dirt.

Did you know? Dogs only need baths once a month? Why?

To remove dead and dying skin cells on the surface. If not removed, they can get dander and smells. But once the dog is shampooed, the natural oils of the skin called “sebum” a protective layer must be replaced to protect the skin from toxins and dry skin which can lead to scratching, hot spots, etc.

A good conditioner can help protect this layer until the natural layer of sebum can form. FYI: San Bernard products directly address this.

There is a better way. DM me for details on how you can get started grooming your own dog so they never look like this again.

I am a Dog Parent...

I have dog themed decor, framed photos of my furry family, and as you can see I share them on my social media regularly.

Being a dog parent is a part of who I am and I love it.

Greetings, fellow animal enthusiasts! 🐶🐱

Have you ever stopped to ponder the language we use when referring to our pets?

It's a subtle shift, but an important one – we often say "pet ownership," but is that really the most accurate way to describe our relationship with these wonderful beings?

Let's delve into why we prefer to see our pets as partners rather than possessions. 💕

I have made it my mission to prevent mats. Drumroll please……

-after 3 months, this chow was not matted. The parents “said” they brushed but didn’t have much luck. And maybe they did, but I know it wasn’t deeply enough.

I was expecting tight matting on legs, tail and chest. It was all easy to brush.

I bathed her first, gave her a bath in caviar again. The magic solution is omega oils in the shampoo and conditioner

WANTED 5 PET PARENTS WITH MAT-PRONE DOGS TO EXPERIMENT WITH MY PROCESS AND PRODUCTS.
