4 June 2018 - A Check Up for Fido

Annual Immunization for Pets

"Whether you live in the city, suburbs, or country, your cat or dog should be given annual booster shots against the most common feline and canine diseases."


I've noticed in my super effective online research that this subject is a little bit controversial.

Some vets say yes an annual booster is necessary.
Some vets say maybe not.

Humans need vaccines.
(omg don't @ me)
Pets need vaccines too.

BUT

Like humans may only need a vaccine once in their lifetime.
Pets also only need certain vaccines once in their lifetime.

It is important to keep up with your pets shot record so that they don't receive any unnecessary shots.

Certain boosters are required for your pet if you plan on boarding them or send them to a doggie daycare.

Boosters are different than the initial vaccine.
Humans get booster shots as well!

There is some controversy that annual boosters are unnecessary.

The problem is that there isn't enough data or studies being done to say whether or not you should or shouldn't have annual shots for your pets.

Some vets argue that these annual shots are increasing the likelihood of cancer in pets.

But again, there is not a lot of data to support claims like these.

I really hope that this post isn't causing you to rethink how you care for your pet!

Seriously!

Just talk with your vet!
Like you would your own doctor!

Every breed,lifestyle, size, and shape of pet is taken into account when making these decisions.
One little blog post from me shouldn't seal your decision making process.

Really just keep that last line in mind for all things your read on the internet.

15 February 2018 - The Mustard Mix

This History of Mustard "The delights of mustard as a food accompaniment apparently had been known only a few years before the appearance of the advertisement described in today's historical note." TODAY IN HISTORY On February 15 1768, one Benjamin Jackson advertised in a Philadelphia newspaper that he was "the only mustard manufacturer on the continent. I brought to art with me into the country."  Mr. Jackson came to America from London, England. He sold his product labeled in glass bottles. Benjamin Jackson, from the book Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage, was a chocolate and mustard maker. He introduced mustard into his chocolate shop where he also sold other spices and flours. Now the mustard he sold was not like the mustard we have today. He sold bottles labeled "Flour of Mustard" which means that you had to follow the directions on the bottle to mix the powder with hot water to create your condiment. Mustard...

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye...
