Skin Fungus on Border Terrier Mix?
Listerine!!!! Safe for dog if he licks it. Using a giant cotton ball, saturate it with LIsterine and pat it onto affected area. Do this daily til it heals. Can also be used to clean out their ears [but do it outside as they shake their head - no cleanup outside...
Skin Fungus on Border Terrier Mix?
No, it doesnt burn the sores - remember one is patting it on, not rubbing [so as to irritate it more]. JoanDogs
Skin Fungus on Border Terrier Mix?
As to adding Garlic to the dogs food is a poor and dangerous thing. Go to http://www.peteducation.com/search_action.cfm?cls=2 for more information. Garlic contains sulfoxides and disulfides which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia!!
Give Ant Baits Time To Work
I sprayed around my foundation with a mix of Lemon Joy dish detergent and water. Unfortunately, ants were on the house side of the barrier it makes and wouldnt cross it to get out. Ovitrol Plus Flea Spray for dogs & cats worked like a charm-sprayed all pipes...
Listerine For Pet Odors
Listerine is also perfect for cleaning ears. I have 4 Shih Tzu and moisten a cotton ball with Listerine to clean the inside part of their ears [only the part you can see] and if they are shaking their head because of an ear problem, put several drops in each...
Rock Salt vs. Salt?
Not sure about rock salt but I used Sea Salt and it really gummed up the holes in my watering can! Next time I have weeds, will heat some vinegar and put the salt into it to help it dissolve. Recipe works great as my 20x40 foot dog pen is now grass and weed...
When can I give a kitten flea treatment?
20+ years ago there was an article in Prevention that I follow to this day. Lorann Oils carries Oil of Cedar Leaf-item # 2090-0800. A 4 oz bottle lasts me 4-5 years at a cost of $26.00, so is cheaper than what you buy to put on your dogs or cats. Put 3 drops...
Are Mushroom Bad for Dogs?
http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/protect_your_pet_from_common_household_dangers/foods_potentially_poisonous_to_pets.html is a site that lists foods that are dangerous to dogs. JoanDogs
Vacuums That Last?
I have had my Miele canister vacuum for 18 years and have needed to take it to the shop only once, last year! Wheels needed replacing and had a general going-over with nothing wrong. First bought it as I had 12+ dogs, & a husband who tracked in everything. Bags...
14 Day Induction Diet?
I lost 60 pounds on this diet years ago and have just recently started it again. Am on medication for blood pressure and cholesterol also. I drink about 5-7 bottles of flavored water a day. Nuts, seeds and veggies can be eaten in moderation [I do these as snacks...
Ladybug Bites?
Most definitely you can! Im extremely allergic to the bites of any pest. It is most likely a potato bug that bit you [they look almost identical to ladybugs, just a bit more orange in color].
Take A Digital Picture Of Computer Hookups
What good idea! What I did was to number each connection on the back of my tower with black Magic Marker. Then as I removed each plug, I made a label on my labeling printer and put it around the plugs cord. Have also made the labels from simple masking tape...
Super Lasagna
Have been making Lasagna for years and have never, ever cooked the noodles before layering into dish. I simply break them to the size needed, and layer ingredients making sure theres a little extra sauce to spread over the top. It comes out perfectly!
Cheesy Mini Burgers
This sounds wonderful! Can it be frozen after the first baking? Since I live alone, would be great if it could be frozen. JoanDogs
Spicing Up Rice?
Tiana: I like all the foods that I cant eat due to allergies. Have tried cheese on it and that helps. Unfortunately, Im allergic to many foods [who else could be allergic to lettuce, potatoes mostly things that grow in the ground, but several that grow above...
Spicing Up Rice?
Robie: Have just bought a jar of salsa and will try it this week. I have added cut up chicken breast and Italian seasonings to the rice and it really did help overcome the blandness. Thanks so much. JoanDogs
Spicing Up Rice?
Thanks to everyone sharing their ideas on spicing up rice. Have several ideas, just have to finish the pot of rice and a little bit of this and that first! JoanDogs
Storing Bread?
I keep mine in the oven with cookies, chips, & crackers. Living alone, I use the oven only to bake Pumpkin Pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas! JoanDogs
Box Fan Filters
Fantastic idea - thanks for sharing - Wonder if this would also work for heat registers. What is sold in stores is too small to fit my registers! JoanDogs
Grass and Weeds Growing Between Bricks
Good old Vinegar will kill the weeds and grass, but not hurt tender little feet! Grass/weeds grow in our dog pen and I weed whack them then pour 1 gal. of vinegar into a watering can and sprinkle the whacked grass & weeds. Dead in 2-3 days! JoanDogs
Poll: Do you have a dog?
I have 5 Shih Tzus that Ive adopted ranging in age from 12 yrs to 1&frac; yrs of age. One was severely abused, 4 others have health problems from bad knees to a heart problem. Just put down my oldest who had been abused by boys. He was growing cysts and the...

Pasta Pronta Reviews?
Why heat water in a kettle or pan and then put it in Pasta Pronta and wait the 7 minutes [or the number of minutes for what youre cooking]? Just as easy to put water in pot put it on the burn and cook it normally! I look at the gadgets, choke on the price, and...
Killing Grass and Weeds?
1 gal white vinegar [$2.08 at Walmart], 1 cup salt, 1 good squirt of Lemon Joy liquid dish soap. I mix this in a watering can and water the weeds in my pea stone dog pen about once every 4-6 weeks. Weeds are dead the day after I do this.
Removing the Air from Zip Lock Bags
I use Johns method [previous post] but not if the contents have a bread coating! Inadvertently I did and choked on the tiny crumbs! Same goes for liquids! Just go SLOWLY when sucking out the air. Fat straws work the best.
