Reese bath

Last night I googled what to do if your dog is sprayed by a skunk.
I must say it did worked pretty darn good.
I have Reese staying in the basement landing where it is warm. Not sure if I will let him inside the house though, only the landing.
My sisters dog was sprayed last year and her house smelled for months. DON'T want that to happen!!!
I washed his cage and made a trip to the store for a new pet bed to put back in his cage.
Here is the recipe for the bath.
t. soap ( I used Dawn)
1 qt. peroxide
1/2 cup baking soda
Mix in 1 quart water
That's it!
I mixed it in a bucket because it warns you not to leave closed in a container because it could explode.
Just my luck.

Don't forget to VOTE today.

Spent the day in the yard

Todays weather was perfect so took advantage of it early, since it is dark by 6 now. I let Spunky out with me, he never leaves my side ...it was so funny watching him run around in the leaves. 
I also have my grand dog Reese for a week so the two of them played all afternoon....very cute.
This is what they looked like
tonight. LOL!!!
Wait it gets better...
I decided to go out and start a fire, let them play some more , enjoy the fresh air and moonlight.
Well... a skunk had better ideas.
Reese got sprayed so he is spending the night on the porch tonight.
Of course the dang thing had to run under my porch. The cat is ok, I am ok, but poor Reese. He didn't get it in the eyes but on his side.
Glad it's still warm out so she won't get cold.
 This was the two of them last night.
Sleep tight.

November has always been a special month.
My moms birthday is today ( she passed away in 1979)
my dads is the 23rd. ( he passed away 13 years ago)
and mine is the 26th. 
We always had big family celebrations and I have many wonderful memories that get me through.


Off to my grandsons football game today which first place is in the works for the year. ~~Go Nathan~~Go Team
It is very cold so dressing warm and taking several blankets.
Sad the trick or treats froze last night. 

Have a warm and wonderful weekend.

Last Ash Tree cut down in our yard.....







It was the last one standing but it needed to go, it has been dead for 2 years and posed a danger of falling on a car in our driveway.
The weather was perfect so the tree trimming team had it all down by 5:00.
75 degrees yesterday and it stayed in the 60's all night.
This is how we spent our evening!
No need to hunt for firewood now .
Small fire, glass of wine....relaxing.




Storms moving in for this afternoon and then the temps will drop drop.
Snow on the weekend (hope not)

Enjoy your day!!!!

Primitive Cupboard

Yesterday I got up early to go to a primitive and antiques garage sale that a friend e-mailed me about .  So glad she did!!
Couldn't pass up this adorable one door cupboard.



I like the back side too.

TGIF and have a wonderful weekend.
It is suppose to be warm and nice outside so I will be finishing my Fall cleanup in my flower beds.
Hopefully washing windows too.

Fall Blessings

I am still enjoying my porch!!!








The weather not so nice the last 2 days but starting today we will have a sunny warmer days. That means meals sitting on our porch.
Norm will be able to sit out and recuperate from his surgery tomorrow.
I have more yard work that I can do. I am hoping the corn is harvested soon so I can start collecting cobs for Jo and I want to use some at the Spring show in March.
Love my lighted trees. I like to see the bright orange for Halloween. I will switch to white lights for the rest of the year. It so dark this time of year and a little bit of lights helps with the blahs.

My cats sit and watch at this door....they are buddies now. I was hoping they would become friends so Jerry is not so lonely.
Spunky is growing FAST! Very funny how they chase and play with each other.

Happy Hump Day
