Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thankyou for sharing a beautiful miracle for us to appreciate. God is so faithful...and you are sooooo blessed!

Awesome...thanks for sharing this. We do love our pets!

:pray: I'm sorry to hear that you've both been hurt. I will add my prayers to the others. Know that we are standing with you in spirit, cheering you both on to get well. Don't lose heart, God has already shown you kindness by putting the right people in your life...trust Him, he will see you through this time. God bless you and get well soon! :hug:  :hug:

I'm near Niagara Falls...it was -17 this morning with a wind chill of -27...just too cold! We usually get a few days of this really cold arctic air around this time of year. When it warms up to near freezing again, it feels warm   I would love to move south and have warm weather all year round! Too cold here!

Have you ever looked into a raw food diet? There has been a healthy movement around for some years now to feed pet dogs and cats the BARF diet   (bones and raw food). It's what wild animals eat, and they don't get the diseases that domestic or captive animals get. There is a manufacturer of an excellent raw frozen food here in Ontario called the ultimate diet. It has a great balance of natural stuff, check out their website ...  http://www.theultimatediet.com/ ....lots of info here. My standard poodle mostly gets this food and he loves it! The breeder that I got him from feeds this food and they have excellent results. They have healthy, award winning dogs! Maybe there is a similar food available in Alberta for you... or maybe you could get a local supplier to get it in for you. You could prevent years of expensive vet bills!

There is a book out that is written by a vet called "Natural health for dogs and cats". The authors name is Dr. Pitcairn. It is an excellent book for any dog and cat owner to have. It outlines diet, diseases, and answers numerous questions from health to accidents and how to say goodbye to your pet. A must have reference tool!

Beautiful dog! I totally agree with the need to train your dog. The sooner the better! There is a book called the dog listener...it has some really good insight into dog behaviour and the need to establish the alpha role. My local library had it, maybe yours does too. There are many training methods out there, but the only ones that really work are ones that establish the owner/handler as alpha. When your dog sees you as leader of the pack, obedience comes easy. So really it's not the dog being trained, but the owner!

I picked up a copy in Chapters...it's pricey, but well worth it! What an inspiring magazine, I had a hard time putting it down! 

Looks like a poodle wannabe! :crackup:

Wow, nice gift. I would love to have a Mac and learn on it. I know some people that have them and they love them. The only reason I don't have one is money! Go to the library and get a book on learning how to use it. Maybe "Mac for dummies" or something similar. The "for dummies" books make everything easy to learn. I'm sure your local library will have lots of reference books on the subject. I love the library for research. It's much cheaper than buying the wrong book! Have fun! Hang in there...you will likely love the Mac when you figure it out!

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  I'm in!!!! Very funny!

I would suggest you don't call any phone number you aren't sure about. There are scams out there that when you call the phone numbers, you are billed huge long distance fees. Be real careful...there are many money hungry people with no morals using these kind of scams. The delete button is a friend!!!

  very cute!

:crackup:  :crackup:

What a nice photo...thanks!

:clap: Congratulations! Nice article...You deserve to be proud of this!

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: You are too much! You make these critters sound horrid!
I know they can be destructive, but they are sooo cute!    I've always loved raccoons, but you gotta respect them!
They are strong and smart...they can learn to turn taps on and open doorknobs with their great little hands! They can be mean, like a bear!
They can be real sweet and loving, even becoming friends with dogs! (I studied up on raccoons a few years ago when I wanted to design one in soft sculpture)
I love the picture! Thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year to you!

Happy New Year to all of you!

Happy New Year to every one of you! I hope you will all be blessed in the new year!

What a happy goat! Thanks for sharing!

What a lovely gift!

:pray: I will pray with you too. I pray for peace over you...I pray for strength and health for your mom and blessed rest for you. Lean on God, He loves you so much!  :hug:

Nice photos...thanks for sharing! Great dog to be so patient!
