Our vacuum has been “on the fritz” as of late, and one of the puppies has been chewing at the end that attaches to the wand…That’s right, it’s time to give up the Filter Queen…Time to get into the “New”…
…But we need something that is going to work wonders on pet hair…Although our miniature schnauzers don’t shed, our Westie-Poo seems to have some hair loss, and she is white…so…
During my research, I thought I’d share some of my thoughts with you, especially those of you that have pets that do shed, whatever type of pet you may have…LOL…

If you have ever lost a pet, or had someone steal your pet, you know the sheer panic that ensues…
If you don’t find them that day, you try thinking of any way possible to get the word out to find your beloved pet…Putting up posters, going door-to-door, calling shelters…then what?
All of these options take a lot of time…crucial time! In fact, by the time you organize and print fliers, your pet could be miles away or long gone.
I was “stumbling” online the other day and came across a really neat site that helps you find your lost pets. It is [ ... ]

If you are reading this blog, then I know that every time you go to a zoo, or wildlife park, you take countless photos of the amazingly gorgeous animals there…Maybe for their sheer size, their technicolour colorations, or for their athletic physiques…
…Either way, if you are an amateur, I’m sure you have looked at those photos and wished they really captured the wonder you saw from behind the camera and with the naked eye…

My Story:
We were to go out in 3-seater boats with small outboard motors on the waterways of Kakadu National Park with a tour-guide that could have been Steve Irwin’s twin brother in action!

Fall is here and winter is around the corner. Many birds are just awaiting the day they leave to migrate south for the winter. Others still are preparing for the harsh winter here in Canada. Whatever the situation, you can make it easier for these birds to survive.
