Buddy on a baby blanket
Use Baby Blankets For PetsI have been able to find baby blankets for Buddy at the 99 cent store. They are just the right size for him. In cool weather, I use them to cover his little beds and keep a couple in the car in case we need to take him to the vet.

Stylized American flag made from fence pickets.
Patriotic Picket Fence FlagWe didn't make this, but so simple for crafty people to make using picket fence boards and a little paint. Looks like they used a stencil for the lettering and stars.

Storing Asparagus and TomatoesThis is a food tip to store asparagus and tomatoes. I find if you keep tomatoes in a dish on your counter, they taste better and ripen thoroughly. If you keep them in the refrigerator, the taste is not as great, and the ripening process changes.

Garden: Toilet Paper Seed StripsAbout two weeks ago, a gardening tip on here talked about cutting toilet paper into strips and gluing seeds onto the strips. I found it hard to cut into strips. What I did was I rolled the paper out the length of my table.

Plastic bag and litter box.
Use Plastic Grocery Bags for Emptying Cat LitterI've found that all the plastic bags from grocery stores, drugstores, etc. fit over the end of a standard size litter box. Just slip the handles up over one end, lift the opposite end and all the litter falls right into the bag with no mess!
