Pug Going Blind? What It’s Like To Have A 90% Blind Dog
We brought Frank & Beans, my two pugs, home when they were already 8 and 9 years old. That was almost 7 years ago! About 2.5 more months and it will be 7 years. So they are, or soon will be, 15 and 16. That's something like 90 to 100 years old for pugs. They both have declining health in different areas, but we've been quite lucky that they have both been able to stay with us this long. Something we've been dealing with for over a year now is our female pug going blind. I thought I'd share what Read more [...]
Stay Safe: X-Sense Escape Light Smoke Alarm Detector
I received product to facilitate this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
A couple years ago when we started foster care, I learned something new. Smoke detectors expire!?! Perhaps that is common knowledge and I just missed the boat but it was news to me when our licensor told us this. In retrospect, it makes sense.

So hearing how Read more [...]

We adopted Teddy when he was already five years old, and Mittens was just seven months when we got him from the local humane society.

Top 10 Ways To Make Canned Yams {+ Black Eyed Sweet Potato Sliders Recipe}
As you're cleaning out your pantry, you'll probably find a variety of foods. Hopefully none too far expired though! That's always my biggest fear. I hate the thought of wasting money by not eating what I've purchased. However, I will admit I'm not a 'best if used by' ninja. I still pop it open and if it looks good, smells good, and tastes good, we usually will still eat it. But as I've cleaned out my pantry in the past, I do discover some odd items that I struggle to find a use for. Read more [...]
