Joy, I had a wonderful Shih Tzu named Kiki, who lived to be 15. She was oversize despite purebred: about 25 lbs. Kik retained her playfulness & cute stubborn streak until her 1st stroke, about 1 yr before she died.
Tired of grooming bills, I'd bought Osterizer electric clippers I did the job myself. Not hard, though w/ my severe allergies the hair she didn't shed, when cut, ended up plastered to my face.
As with many purebred dogs, Kiki had some health problems, notably bladder infections throughout her earlier years, & Cushing's Disease later on. Healthy, though, in spite of this. I love Shih Tzus! The very best of luck with your puppy choices. NIca ... View related article.
Can't tell you where in your area you can find this, but I can let you know that in the Philadelphia PA suburbs, local Giant supermarkets offered this about once every 2 or 3 months. Here's how it worked there:
In those weekly mailed flyers (NOT the ones in the store), you received 6 triple coupons. When you used your Giant grocery card, the register wouldn't permit more than 6 per household. These tripled most coupons that were under $0.99. The best deal was often a shampoo coupon for $0.75, for instance, tripling to $2.25 off. During this same triple-coupon week, Giant's continual double-coupon policy was still in effect. You just had to shop very carefully, to use the best 6 for tripling.
I miss that here in my rural WV area. Good luck finding stores that offer this around your way! Nica ... View related article.
Most of my cobwebs are just above my kitchen window & between the window & screen, so I'm assuming the spiders get in through there. I have indoor cats & a dog, plus have allergies myself, so I avoid chemicals in the house. Does anyone have a more natural way to render areas spider-unfriendly?
PS: I've read that that they don't like cold weather, & so are more prevalent this time of year. Nica ... View related article.
I have problems visualizing things. Do any of you have pics that you could post? I'd really appreciate seeing your good ideas. ... View related article.
Thanks! The post office has only a few regulations, & they're pretty relaxed about them. The only glass blocks I've seen are closed in. Are there hollow ones? Nica ... View related article.
Camino is pretty streamlined as a browser. Also, Google is coming out soon w/ a Mac-friendly version of its new browser, Google Chrome. The latter is so easy to use on Windows that I'm really looking forward to the Mac one. Good luck! ... View related article.
