I use to yrs ago spend hours on hours weeding, as Most do, Until I found out your lawn grass clippings solved the Weeding problem! I have never had to weed since. Just plant the seeds and coat the garden with your lawn clippings, weeds won't grow through if you get it nicely covered, we have tuns of lawn clippings, so its never a lack of around here, Plus it makes nice natural fertilizer that is so easy to work with for the following years ...

I never buy my cow manor in any type of bags or from any garden centre or store. , I buy it from a local farmer, or use my own, Mad cow, Ya, seems you can get anything from anything you eat or touch now aday, Get it from a local farmer, & not some big dairy or beef farmer, go to the little guy, The bag stuff ain't no good anyways, It don't come close to the real thing, you need the real stinky stuff. Most any type of REAL Manor works, Goat, Sheep, Straight from the farmers manor pile its the finest you can get. ... View related article.
I always found leaving tomatoes to ripen on the vine usually ended up with bugs/holes in them, So I have always removed them when they were the right size and let them ripen in my house, Always left them in a big pot , Went thru them every few days and removed the more riper ones to the top,. Some people has told me to put them in the window others say in a dark spot, I have tried both and I find neither is better then the other, So I just leave em wherever I find a spot in my house for them, They always ripen.
I don't use any insecticide on my Garden period, and I always have good crops every year.
Put up over 600 canned goods every year from my own garden, plus frozen vegs etc
more precise details would be better, The way you have made it sound, Leads a person to believe the boyfriend had to have abused the dog while you was away, If that is the dilemma you are facing, then their is only one solution and that bases around How much do you love your Dog? Cause this puppy has a very poor chance at life. Left in your boyfriends care for even a few mins could prove fatal and then you are ultimately to blame as well for knowingly putting the dog in harms way. Statistics also have proven that people who abuse pets are only a step away from abusing YOU or others....
However if were reading this wrong, I also had a Puppy I purchased at 6 weeks of age, the puppy was well cared for by the older lady I got her from, and the puppy was treated like a queen with all of us here, Never showed any fear of anyone till one day a Man (a stranger) came right up to her very quickly and started getting lovie with her, Well it scared her so bad she peeded herself, Ever since this she is terrified of certain men, No matter what We do she will not warm up to them, and some of these men I know to be great animal lovers, Hurts them to see the dog act this way.... So I know first hand some dogs can naturally be more fearful then others, and with certain sets of events taking place can set off a fear that otherwise may not have presented itself ...

Another thing you may want to consider, Shih-tzu's along with many other breeds have rather long hair, and get hot easily, Could you imagine wearing a heavy coat in July and August? it would be horrid! yet we expect our pets to be ok with it, Well truth is their not, & if they could speak I'm sure they would tell us so, My little Shih-tzu's will get in scratching frenzies during these months if I allow their hair to grow over 1/2 inch, The scratching stops once the hair is shaved off, Sweat makes most people itch if left, So I always follow up with a good bath after removing the hair, Is very refreshing & make for a much healthier and happier pooch,
My little male shih-tzu itched and itched so bad use to completely tire him out. I started with bathing him, which did help, but never solved the problem as it kept coming back. Then I thought Fleas, but you could never find any on them. However all it takes is 1 little bite to drive him crazy, I solved that with vinegar in their food and water. Yet he still scratched, was driving me crazy watching him, wondering why. If a dog scratches there is something irritating them. Finally I happened to notice his saliva glands, (hidden under those long ears) they were oft times puffy and swollen Took him to the vets, gave me treatment. Said he most likely ate a spider or some little thing that didn't agree with him. A light went off in my head. How stupid of me.
Slowly but surely a long list started growing. He can't eat Wheat, Soy, brewers yeast, corn, cinnamon, chicken or any chicken product, livers of no kind, and that's just for starters, just this past week, he got down so sick I was terrified I was going to loose him.
Everyone in my household is aware & always on alert. Company that brings snacks must be monitored closely while visiting, Accidental ingestion can happen too easily.
No such thing as buying any store food for him, Not even for backup purposes, every dog food out there so far has something in it he can't eat and I've been in touch with many many holistic food companies. None can help me! So its strictly home made food for him.
He does his best when he's strictly limited to RAW or Slightly seared, Organic beef, Lamb, or Rabbit meat. Nothing else, he quickly becomes a little bomb around here with a buzzing tail, in every bodies way, and he feels so good, for his treats I prepare special to fit him and he loves them!
More and more dogs everyday are growing intolerant of many foods, it's more wide spread them one realizes
Some signs I have found related to food intolerance, Vigorously running along and rubbing the floor with the side of their face. Mild to severe Drooling, difficulty swallowing, General restlessness and Morning tummy Grumbles, exceptionally loose dark and very stinky stool. These are just a few of the more serious signs I have noted to food intolerance/allergy. If the offending food is not removed or to much was ingested, the dog will have one or many early signs followed by becoming almost listless and won't be stirred unless something drastic is done. Then I panic. (This has been my experience) ... View related article.
