I have been a very busy girl since I was here last. I've made some enhancements and "prettied" things up on a couple of the blogs. I took on another time consuming task this past weekend. I created an A-store at Amazon.com. I'm hoping to learn more about it so I can post some bargains in it.

It isn't anything fancy. It is cookie cutter and ordinary. But it is mine. I wanted to share it here first since this is "home" to me and you are my most loyal of followers.

Amazon A-Store

There is only one thing I don't like about it. It doesn't reveal sale prices. You won't see a sale or a deal until you click on a link and go "shop" the item. Once you do that, you'll be on Amazon.

Anyway, I'm giving it a try with the hopes of it being a good thing for you and me.

Hi Adlibbers!

How goes it? I wanted to make sure that all of you knew there was $50 worth of coupons from Kraft on the Coupons.com printer. You can print two copies by hitting the back button. I am banking that there will be some great sales coming up for Memorial Day for Kraft products. The coupons expire in a month so it might be wise to make sure you print all you can.

Additionally, there are quite a few items to match up with the Kraft coupons with Target coupons. This makes several items a totally rock bottom price.

There is a $3.00 coupon for the Benjamin Buttons movie and a couple of $3.00 coupons for Huggies diapers. Also don't forget to check in on the coupon blog to keep up with other coupons I am finding.

I'm probably going to go and stay with my daughter for a couple of weeks. She is not doing too well and is in the hospital getting IV's now for dehydration. She sounded pretty pathetic when I spoke to her a bit ago. When I saw her last weekend, she was pretty puny so I guess I am not surprised. I do think I will be going back soon. I hired someone to take care of her house because she is one step ahead of being bedridden while trying to work. She is draped over the furniture or asleep 90% of the time. The baby is doing well but she isn't so I am very concerned. Please keep her in your prayers.

Buddy just had a check up. He's lost about 5 lbs. Told ya Baleigh was his personal trainer. She also keeps him in trouble. She escapes under the fence and he does the same. Last week they got in such trouble. They came home total mud balls. Oh the joy of handling 2 muddy dogs.

I had an opportunity to do a guest post on a blog today. I wanted to share with you.

Baleigh is such a good addition to our family. She has gotten Buddy up off his fanny and he has lost 5# at least. He is looking much happier, runs more and they play outside ALL day now. They romp and have the best time out in the back yard since the fence went up a few weeks ago. Baleigh has fattened up a little and she is looking really healthy. Seems she has found a new source of protein! LOL

Baleigh is very interesting. She is possibly part cat. Meowwwwwww! She is a mouser! Since we live backed up to the woods, a small creek and have a large back yard, mice are out there. She has taken it upon herself to reduce the mouse population. But she has added an item to her menu. Lizards! They are her "prizes" just like a cat. So there is the added opportunity to have moments when I open a door to step out and be surprized.

Buddy continues to have a little jealousy but it isn't horrible. They get along well 99% of the time. He took really good care of her following her surgery and I think they bonded even more then. So all is well with my fur babies.

I read an article today about 10 items you need to keep on hand for pet first aid. I need to get a few items on the list myself. If you are a pet owner I thought you might want to know what is recommended.

1. Hydrogen Peroxide: Can be used to clean a cut or wound. Can also be used to induce vomiting. Check with posion control or with your own vet so you will know how much to give and not cause more problems. 
2. Triple Antibiotic Ointment - great for a helping stave off infection from the get go.
3. Bandages - a nice variety of items that should non- adhesive gauze pads, gauze rols and some ace bandages so you aren't fiddling with tape and scissors going on or taking it off.
4. Digital Thermometer: Nice to know if your animal has a temp. The average normal temp for a cat or dog is 100 - 102.5 degrees F. If your pet's temp is lower or higher it is time for a trip to the vet.
5. Styptic Powder- If your pet has a torn or broken nail this it the stuff to use. Just put a small amount on the nail and it iwll help form a clot. If you don't have any, try flour or corn starch.
6. Tweezers: I personally prefer the typs with the squared off end for removing splinters and ticks. Might toss a couple of kinds into your pet first-aid kit. Don't forget to keep them clean, to apply antibiotic ointment and to wash your hands thoroughly so you are not at risk to catch some tick-borne disease.
7. Eyewash: Same stuff as you use for humans. Pour on or drop in just as you would humans.
8. Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Again, same formula as for humans only keep some of the liquid variety for your pet. The doseage is 1-2 mg of Benadryl per pound of weight. Start with 1 per pound and give additional if needed. This is used to great allergic reactions from insect bites and bee stings.
9. E- Collar: This is the collar that looks like a lampshade when put around the neck. This will control your pet's ability to get to wounds and do damage by licking or biting. Less bacteria can be introduced to a wound, sore or stitches.
10. Muzzle: As sweet as pets are most of the time, when tending to a wound you might want to put a muzzle on them. They won't intend to bite you but defensivly they could and give you an injury. In an emergency case, just put a sock over their muzzle to help control them. Most everyone has a sock to spare.

I found a nice one on Amazon for 70% off. Looks pretty good for $15.00!!!! 




Here is a little backup for those of you that want more guidance or perhaps live a good distance from a vet. Nice reference to have on hand!

Off to see what prizes are at the back door....
