A grass for your pet

If you are a pet owner like us you probably purchase wheat grass at the pet store from time to time. Wheat grass can be too expensive sometimes so I tried plating it myself. It worked perfect so I wanted to share this with you.

Purchase some wheat berries at the health food shop.

Soak them overnight, rinse and plant in a shallow pot with a drainage hole. I covered my seeds with about 1/2" of soil on top. Water it thoroughly and place in a sunny spot (no direct sunlight). Mist it daily and watch the little green spears appear in about 5 days!

The grass will live about 1 month with proper care. I do not let my dogs to get to the pot because they are getting so excited that they pull the grass out in seconds. So I cut little bouquets with sharp scissors and tie them with one stem. My babies are very happy!

Welcome Spring!

The spring is here, no matter what our local groundhog said. I even saw a little lizard on a fence sunbathing in a warm rays.

It was not a long cold winter for us, no. But it was still slightly cold. So I am really happy to see the first signs of desert spring.

 I even worked in a garden a little yesterday and enjoyed our first crop. 5 radishes, some green onions and bell peppers. Some greens from a local store and we'll have a salad!

The time for comfort food has passed!

Our babies are also enjoying their greens. 

I planted some grass seeds in a planter last fall and they found it very useful now :)

Please welcome baby Ruby!

She moved with us last Saturday.

She is cute and cuddly and real tiny!

She is playing in a garden with rose petals and still rocking from side to side when walking but she is developing really quick!




For the last 4 days she learned:

when somebody says Ruby than it's her,

what NO mean ( when chewing on shoes or wires or books)

how to get back home when outside,

how to get to a bed using a doggies ramp,

and get back down!

claim to the 2 first steps,

chaise our older dog

make everyone in a house busy 24/7 :)

Oh! Did I mentioned that she is just 6 weeks old?

Getting a puppy

We finally decided to get a new puppy! We even went to see the cute 18-days babies shit zhus today! But now we can not decide which one to choose, the black & white or the brown & white one.

Help! Which one would you choose?
