We have a new foster. He's 4 months old and will be ready soon for his new home. He's brindle and white. We are calling his Rascal. If anyone is interested, please go to www.smawl.org and fill out an adoption application for this wonderful little boy. He's going to stay small. He will probably...

LOL. I have taken all of my chis on vacation before and the people in the next room were shocked when I told them how many I had as they never heard a peep out of them. I used to have a chi who loved to go out on the motorcycle for rides in a baby carrier. She sat in a carrier in between...

NOOOOO, don't test your toes. It can create build up of callus and that can cause circulation problems. The number one issue for diabetics with circ issues winds up being amputation. My daughter's endo told her no toe testing. If you only have to test 3x a day then the best thing to do is...

She actually likes the pump better because it's like one small stick every 3-4 days instead of 2-3 shots a day. And the catheter doesn't hurt at all. Plus she was on 2 insulins and it took her down to only using one. However, to each their own and it may be something you decide you want down the...

Tox, My daughter is a type 1 diabetic and is on an insulin pump. At your age with initial injections 2x a day, you may want to inquire about whether you can be a candidate for a pump. The reason I say this is due to the mimic of the pancreas that the pump does. It is a small catheter that you...

Well we have made it to a milestone. The girls will be 2 weeks tomorrow. Mom is eating on her own and it looks like we have beat the infection she had. I am so greatful for everyone's well wishes. Thanks again. Here are 2 updated pics. Kids One for the Money Kids It takes Two to Tango...

The list is up now. It contains all sorts of foods, including specialty foods from places other than the grocery store. It looks like all sorts of foods, including nutro natural, iams, eukanuba, etc. Make sure to check the list.

All of the cute puppies (as well as the other wonderful dogs and cats) from SMAWL will be available to see and adopt this weekend. We will be at Petco in California on Saturday, March 17 from 10-2pm. Wear green and come pick out your new St. Patty's family member!

Be the Boss!!!! Good luck and if all doesn't go well, drink a bottle of wine. It works for me every time.

Ohhhh I really LOVE that name. Someone last night suggested to me: Kids Rhythm of the Night......... but One for the Money it is.... so their official names are: Kids It Takes Two to Tango Kids One for the Money They are officially a week old tonight.

I see people all the time bring in their animals to the vet but can't afford the vet bills. Also, there are rescue groups who can't afford major bills or don't have the funding or grants for other things. There are groups available to assist in payment of different things. In case they might...

SMAWL has a cross between and English and American BD in rescue right now. Maddix is a lover. If your kids are used to dogs. http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=5245326

SMD, Don't worry. KK does this stuff to me all the time, but trying to make me out to be some terrible person, all the while with undertones. I don't care. I do practice what I preach, with over 9 in my house now that were rescued or are currently fosters. I know I do my part. However, I...

I have 7 chihuahuas and they are great with my kids. I have one that is bonded to my son and one that sleeps with my daughter at night and can even tell when her blood sugar is low. I guess the question is how old are your kids? Also, small dogs tend to be more high strung than larger...
