Cool Stuff

Kudos to my honorary 4th daughter, Chelsea Cross. Very soon to become my indentured film documentarian, I mean Independent Project Advisee from Oberlin College.  Please enjoy her audition video challenge — Meet and take footage of Bubbles and her family and friends in celebration of Bubbles 1st birthday, and in between final exams and holiday mayhem, edit into a 5 minute or less video this slice of life for a boy and his life changing dog. The slice in this case, celebrating Bubbles 1st birthday in a dog and human friendly party.

She did it in 3! Love what she’s done! It outdoes the Trailer giving a glimpse into the fruit of her future labors — a documentary on A Year In The Life Jan. 18, 2011 (the day she arrived) -Jan. 18, 2012 (one year later). Stay tuned!

It surpasses the trailer

Select Bully Sticks Are Here

by Rachel on December 15, 2011

Eeny Meeny Miney Mo....

Always trying to find long lasting and healthy chews for my dogs and my client’s dogs. Lo and behold, the holidays came early when fresh off the busy UPS truck delivery came this container of the thickest select bullies I’ve ever seen –  and just in time for the holidays. Did you know that chewing is a great way to dissipate excess energy, anxiety as well as let your dog know how much you care. Not just for teething puppies, although really great for that, bully sticks are the #1 chew around here. And these thick ones are great all on their own or jammed into a wide variety of dog toys.

six or nine inches

2 great sizes -- 6 and 9"

That’s right, anyone who orders 50 or more bully sticks between now and December 31 is entitled to free shipping OR 20% off any future orders.

Har-Vest Review from Brooke and Dee

Thumbnail image for Har-Vest Review from Brooke and Dee

Five years ago when I first began tracking sales of Har-Vest, I bought a map of the U.S., glued it onto styrofoam and bought some colored push pins. Every time I made a sale, I selected the pin color to match the color of Har-Vest sold and started keeping track. Not sure if it was [...]

Flint River Ranch June Letter – Natural Flea/Pest Control for Dogs

June 17, 2011
Thumbnail image for Flint River Ranch June Letter – Natural Flea/Pest Control for Dogs

Found June’s monthly column from  Flint River Ranch President Jay Margedant worth passing forward. Gives you reason to re-think pest control. While I admittedly recently dosed the dogs with what is a monthly regiment of Frontline Plus, I really want to eliminate as many chemicals from my life as I can. So I’m going to [...]

Lest you think I am exclusive to dogs, think again. Cats rule — Grace and Tank are useful in helping socialize dogs to their feline brethren. So when I learned about the heavily catnip infused quilted Pootie Pads produced by sisters Ann and Sara Reed of Portland, Oregon, I had to get me some. Five [...]

In the many previous “real” jobs” life  I’ve had  – where I not only had to learn all the names and ultimately the quirks of fellow workers — but often be obligated to know the terms and conditions of detailed policy manuals outlining all the “do’s” and “don’ts” of the organization — I’ve had various [...]
