Mini Dachshunds
Monday, March 09, 2009 | By LuannD

How could you not fall in love with the most lovable dogs on the planet - the dachshund. I grew up with only dachshunds so I am most predjudiced. You will have years of loves and kisses from your new pet. Good Luck!

For pain relief try taking a bath with epsom salts and some lavender essential oil. I think when most of us start exercising we overdo it. Try doing simple things like walking, going up and down stairs and bicycling (if you live where you don't have snow right now). Simple exercises are ones we tend to keep doing. :) Good luck!

So what did you get him? I would love to know

Im a stay at home mom of 3 and I know what you mean about them not wanting to stay with any project for long. To keep mine entertained I have a big bin full of this and that for them to just get creative with without any specific project in mind. Just let them go with it on the kitchen table covered in news paper.
Our bin has things like construction paper, paint, crayons, makers, colored pencils, glue, string, buttons and just about anything.

good luck on making sales. When I was pregnant a friend gave me a rice bag that had essential oil of lavender in it and it was ment to be heated and layed over the eyes to relaxe you and it was very lovley and the added smell was great.

Since you are running a coffee shop, if people often take coffee to go you can encourage patrons to bring in their own reusable mug? The grinds can be used for gardening in the spring too. This is a neat site with ideas too: http://www.awarenessideas.com/

In my neighborhood the coffee houses have bagels, cakes, and cookies to go with the coffee. As the baked goods get old, they are donated to food pantries where they are appreciated.

Sorry, I should have mentioned above when using the eucalyptus oil mix, applying just once on pets is enough. They won't like the smell (Vicks vaporub aroma) but it is effective. In a 1 gallon container filled with water, put 2 capfuls and shake thoroughly. The water makes it easier to apply to the fur (pour in your palms and dampen fur, don't soak) and it dissapates fast. The smell wears off within 15 minutes. If you are skeptical then just use as a spray on your furniture, it didn't ruin my fabric but test a spot to be sure.

Fighting fleas is very hard if they are already at an unmanageable level in the house with pets but it can be done. I had three infested cats before flea meds were marketed. But this is what I did back then (9 yrs ago), I fumigated even after all these steps were done just as a precaution. But man, I had to clean all counters and surfaces afterward.

1. Make sure the dog has his frontline updated. A website with cheaper frontline plus is nofleasusa.com (Some arent reputable if its really dirt, dirt cheap).

2. Put 2 capfuls of Eucalyptus oil in about 1gallon of plain water (Do Not Use Eucalyptus Oil Full Strength - its not healthy for your pet, humans ok). You can get this at a health foods specialty, organic products store or order online. Rub this water/oil rinse into your cats fur (and dog too if desired). It kills fleas on contact, its amazing!(But DO NOT USE Eucalyptus Oil FULL STRENGTH on pets). I also put into spray bottles but made it more concentrated and sprayed my furniture and rugs (its smells strong but does not last). Spray in the litter box and area also. Lightly rub on dogs fur before letting outside to play as a repellant.

3. Clean, Clean, Clean your house throughly, daily! This is important. Vacumn and clean rugs and floors daily because it will take 2 weeks or more if you are not fumigating. It will make a big difference especially if you make the time with your animals and living areas. Its not easy but it is effective, just be consistent.

4. Lastly, if your animals have tapeworm its because they have ingested adult flea or larve from biting their fur. They will have to be dewormed by your vet. Hope this helps a little.

We are on a plan that allows us to have spending money weekly and still have money to save for a house. I have started my frugal crusade, for one purpose, to allow us to be in house before my husband turns 37, we are not there yet, but he is not 37 yet, (next year, so we have some time. Anyways thanks for the replies, keep posting, love to share secrets. Have to Go, am making the Laundry soap, can't let the water boil or it will boil over....God bless
