ReBARKably SCENTable Canine, Pt2
This is my amazing Teacher Dog’s (Neo Mastiff extraordinaire Shadrach) former class now available for you as a blog post series here – enjoy! Here is Shadrach…This is PART TWO of this multi-part series. This post was originally written in 2011 not long before my Neapolitan Mastiff, Shadrach, (my Heart Dog Extraordinaire) passed away. We played this game from his puppyhood until the week of his death. I’ve not ever been able to play this game with the three that have followed since in the same way I did him –...

Wow there are a lot of sales going on this month! Fortunately I get to share these with you for your dogs and yourselves. I’ll share in order of the biggest sales to the least. That said, every single item here are things I use for myself, husband and dogs. King and Ezra are going to kick this post off with their own views on the first sale: BIOCELL PET Ezra (Carolina Dog): I’m excited bepaws the only supplement I’ve ever liked and don’t growl about is going to be on sale. Not that we ever get much in the way of supplements bepaws we’re...
read moreDoing a NEW Thing!
Two years ago in October, I was in deep reflection. I wondered what in the world had happened to my life, questioning all my decisions such as, “Why in the world did we think getting a puppy was a good idea?” Not to mention the unraveling of everything else I thought I’d built. LOL. Yes, well pride does go before a fall doesn’t it? That comes from Proverbs 16:18. I kept asking God the whys, how’s, when’s – you know ALL the questions we ask when our lives seem to completely change and flip into the unknown,...
read moreMighty Dog of Valor!
Ezra, my mighty dog of valor! I recently began calling him this based on two things: 1) what we say & declare/decree over others matters (our words matter far more than we may realize), 2) from the scripture on Gideon in the Bible, Judges 6:12 The thing is, Gideon was threshing wheat in the wine press to hide from the Midianites what he was doing – the right thing in the wrong place. However, the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Gideon knew he wasn’t valorous at the time...

read moreDesert “Drift” Wood & Weeds
Desert “drift” wood and weeds. Weird thing to take a pic of huh? These are the things I’ve learned to notice and gaze upon while living in the desert. Especially when I used to go on my early morning walks with my former Carolina Dog, Schatzie. The quiet early mornings with her by my side were the best. I learned to notice and see things in the quiet. It wasn’t still because mornings are active times with wildlife but we need to be still within ourselves to notice these things. The stark beauty still never fails to capture my attention. I...
read moreTuning IN, to Tune UP!
Inspired by Ezra Not feeling on par? What happens when your vehicle needs a tune-up? We take it to get a tune-up (or if you’re mechanically inclined you do it yourself). What about an instrument that isn’t in tune? The musician gets it tuned-up or it won’t sound very good no matter how accomplished the musician is. What about our bodies (and those of our dogs), do they need a tune-up also? The simple answer is YES. But how do we tune up a body? The body is fearfully and wonderfully created, so God made simple...

Welcome to the Feelings Kit Challenge class. From 06/21 – 07/20/17 I conducted a 30 Day Feelings Kit Challenge with those on my Young Living team. The following videos are the videos shared on my private Facebook group. The 30 Day Challenge was created by Young Living Founder, D. Gary Young with notes from Dr. David Stewart. The challenge is simple. Use each of the essential oils blends in a certain order and fashion with intention (see the articles by Dr. Stewart) twice daily for 30 days – morning and evening. Then wait to see...

My favorite desert wild flowers! I wrote this back in June when we were in severe drought. Even though the drought has ended and the blazing temperatures have waned a tad, we are often still breathing the smoke from new wildfires or smoke from neighboring states that are still blazing. At the end of this I’ll share a pic of just one of the THREE ponds that have appeared in our lower yard since I wrote this post initially for my Instagram account back in late June. The part of our yard we call the “valley” – where our...

Schatzie here, all the way from heaven. I have a VERY hard subject to share with you humans but it’s VERY imPAWtant for you and for us. Mom thought it would be best if I share bepaws she always called me her Beauty Queen on earth, and now I really AM a beauty queen in heaven, woof! My hope is to help you be the true beauty queens YOU are by choosing better for yourself and thereby for your dogs (and other pets too of course).
