I don\’t know if you noticed, but Tamara from Cheapskate Designs created me a new button for this blog! Now you can take my beautiful button with you! It matches perfect and I just love it! I hate to keep repeating myself, but in this case I feel I must, Tamara is awesome to work with and if you need design work or a button, she is the person to call! Cheapskate Designs is currently working on two more buttons for me! I can\’t wait to see them..

I have been giving this some serious thought..I would love to have you post your animal pictures with me for Halloween! How cute would that be. You can email me your Halloween Pet Photo\’s and I will put them on my blog throughout the month of October! That would be so much fun and I hope you join in!! I have been trying to capture my pets with masks and guess what, they hate to wear them! So please, email me at dgm1930@gmail.com your cute little furry friends all dressed up and I will show them off to everyone in October!

I changed it again!

I am changing my blogs theme again..I like this lay out and I hope you do too! I did love the parrot picture, I may just post that on the side bar.. Good Idea!

Lou, went to the Veterinary office today for his annual checkup. He weighs 13#, the same as last year! He was fine until I got him in the actual office, then he went a little crazy on me.. The vet was someone different than normal, but I wouldn\’t think Lou would remember that! Maybe he does remember who\’s who! I never really thought about it. Cat\’s must remember people.. Then the technician gave me an update on feline nutrition. My instructions say that cats require high levels of protein, moderate fat and restricted amounts of carbohydrates in the diet. It is also important to feed a diet that is manufactured and processed with high quality, organic or natural ingredients that are void of chemical preservatives and artificial flavorings. Remember, what I have mentioned in the past, if your Grandmother didn\’t eat it, you shouldn\’t either, I guess that pertains to your Grandmothers pet\’s also! I now have a new list of food that I will go shopping for, because I believe my Vet about what a cat should eat. I will let you know how my three cats like their new diet. But if you do switch to a new diet, remember to do it gradually or you will have one sick cat on your hands!

21 Day Challenge

/ Mya

I have been reading a lot of blogs and it seems that a lot of people are taking the plunge and exercising or dieting together..well, I was enjoying the postings on Farmgirl Paints blog when she said she is having a 21 day challenge for making new habits together. So I immediately said I was in! My new habit will be exercising. Getting out there and actually doing something is two different things in my book. So the truth be known, I\’m not a huge fan of exercising..I do a lot and sometimes I consider that my exercise routine, such as, cleaning, driving, laundry..but to be honest, I don\’t think I\’m loosing any weight, not that I\’m too fluffy, but I could use the stress reduction! I\’m going to start today by taking one of the dogs for a walk. I did walk up the stairs at church instead of using the elevator and I mentioned that I have to exercise because I made the challenge..and another teacher did say, \”you don\’t have to exercise everyday, go every other day\”! This is the problem, no moral support from anyone!
So that\’s my story, I will let you know how I\’m doing, with any luck Winston (my very fluffy dog) and myself will get into shape.. I will be honest about it too!

Poo Poo Paper!

/ Mya

While I was out the other day, I came across something I have never seen before! Paper made from elephant poo, commonly referred as elephant dung! This company will make the paper from the collection and processing of the dung pulp. They collect the dried elephant dung from elephant conservation parks and bring it back to there paper-making factory. There is a process they follow to make this paper that you can read at \”The Great Elephant Poo Poo Paper\” Company Limited.

I bought a pad to see what it looks like. It is nice..it does not smell, it is thick, so you can use for scrap booking or craft projects and your friends will never believe this!

If you go to the website on Poo Poo Paper, you can find all kinds of fun facts about elephants! The best part about this company to me, is that a percentage of profits from the sale of this product is contributed towards the conservation of elephants.
