Choosing the Right Food for Your Cat?

Puppy Afraid of Family Members?
He is probably overwhelmed at all the new smells and doesnt want to be handled right now a lot. Puppies need to sleep a lot and eat a lot and go to the bathroom a lot. Make sure that he has a place to go to get away from everyone. Pups really dont need to be...

Keeping up with Dishes?
I am also of the opinion that there should not be as many dishes as there are people. If all do the dishes that is fine. I have been known to have only two plates and two forks, and people can take turns. I dont like the kitchen overrun with dishes. You can...

Getting Rid of Ants Inside?
The ones I want to kill right away, I use a little spray bottle filled with amber Listerine or the generic amber Listerine. You have to squirt them with it. I am trying to get rid of them too. It is safer to use then spray for bugs.

Sometimes when a pup will do this he needs to be checked for an infection or illness that makes him have a hard time going. Make sure he is healthy before assuming he is just choosing to go that way on the floor. Also remember that these are the times to take...
Listerine as a Mosquito Repellent
I use Listerine as a hand sanitizer, a counter disinfectant, also it kills ants on contact, it kills them in the tub, and it kills them in the sink. I also like it as a mosquito repellent, but mostly I like it as the killer of ants that come into the kitchen...
