" You're acting like a kitten"

I am sitting just relaxing while watching my daughter playing, She asks me what she is doing and I reply " You're acting like a kitten". She says how did you know. Now to answer her I tell her brother used to do it when he was little but most of the time he was a puppy instead of a kitten. 

Actually thinking back I am pretty sure all 6 of my children pretended to be animals of some sort. My children have always had big creative imaginations and no problem keeping themselves occupied. 




I gave my camera to my older daughter for Christmas and I haven't gotten around to ordering a new one for myself yet. So bear with the not so clear pictures for a while. Here are some pictures taken with my iPad mini of Dorothy pretending to be a kitten.


What animals do your children like to act like?

DogPlus Hip & Joint Supplement Review




As a large breed dog owner I worry about our Saint Bernard Princess Goliath's Hips and Joints. The first two years we were very careful with her making sure her hips and joints were not overworked, while still getting the exercise she needed to keep them healthy. 

As she has aged we have made sure to keep her on Brewers Yeast and now we have started giving her DogPlus Hip and Joint Supplements by Peachy Dog to keep her at her best for as long as we can. For her size it is recommended that she take 4 tablets daily for the first 3 weeks and then 2 tablets a day for the remainder of the time she is on them. 

If you have a pet who has just had joint related surgery or a pet that is just getting older then you might want to think about their hip and joint health. If you have a large breed dog you have to think of their hip and joint health from the start. 

Dogplus can be used for both dogs and cats so if you have a older cat that needs a little boost with their hips and joints then this might be good for them. The pills are scored so if you have a smaller dog or cat you can split them with ease. Here is to better Hip and Joints for our fur family. 



What Peachy Dog has to say about their product

PeachyDog is a small family business that sells hip & joint supplements for dogs on Amazon.com.  DogPlus Hip & Joint Supplements are made from all natural, human grade ingredients.  Not only does it contain the usual ingredients expected such as glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM, but it alsco includes Vitamin C, Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, Vitamin E and our proprietary dark cherry & berry blend bursting with anti-oxidants.  These ingredients all work together to reduce pain and inflamation and also aids the restoration of joint integrity whilst improving overall health.

2014

2014 for our family was a year of growing, learning and healing. If you have kept up my husband had a accident at his job on February 12th, 2013 causing a total Quad tear on his upper left leg. He had surgery, Dr.'s, rehabilitation, IME's, Spine Dr, and lots of visits before they decided he is between 35-50% disabled. During his time after the surgery, he was laid off, and because his job was a trade effected job they sent him back to college. 

While he has been healing he has been attending college while staying on the Presidents list. He did all this while he saw me go months without my Fibromyalgia medication in pain, having no income when ever there was a mess up with his checks, and having a vehicle that had to be replaced just after we put in 3000.00 because it was not going to pass inspection because of rust damage to the frame. Mind you this vehicle had just hit 100,000 miles so we were not happy with the news at all, which is a reason we will probably never buy another Ford vehicle again. So we did what we thought we would never do again which was taking a loan out on a vehicle. 

Oh there were other things that happened during the year but I would take forever to tell you them all. Let's just say it wasn't always easy, but we made it through together. 

Beautiful things that happened this year were the birth of our second Grand Daughter from our second born child, the marriage of our first born Son to his Wife, and our 24-25th Anniversary. Our third child started her Senior year and even though she is all of a sudden not sure what she wants to be she is preparing to go to college. Our fourth daughter started 6th grade with a little hick up with her teachers but I think the school finally has a good teacher for her classroom, and our 5th born child started 2nd grade.

Almost a quarter in they wanted to put her back into 1st grade but we overruled the school and told them if they have to keep her back this year but do not but her back in 1st grade. I have seen what taking a child out of one grade and putting them back into a lower grade can do. I just suggested it to her in case she was OK with it and she started crying because she wants to be with her friends. I told her Mommy and Daddy didn't agree with the school and that was not what was going to happen and she said. Thank you Mommy and gave me a great big hug. So her and I have been working on reading and writing.

Mind you her sister who is 6th grade who has never been held back couldn't do a fraction of what her sister is doing in 2nd now when she herself was there and they just pushed her ahead. I still don't totally trust schools because they seem to make more mistakes in the name of the almighty dollar, instead of really caring about what happens to the children.

I am proud of all of my children for the things they have achieved over the last year, either big or small they are all achievements, and in my opinion they are all worth a standing ovation. Here is to another year of growing, learning, and healing.
