Sepia Saturday: Flowers!

As most of you know last weekend I was at the farm frolicking around! As I was playing I noticed all the cleaver containers my Grandma uses to showcase her flowers.

In the arrangement below she used:

• Cooking Pots
• Galvanized Buckets 
• Pots on Rocking Chairs
• Flowers around the Flag Poll
• Wagons
• Wagon Seats
• Wagon Wheels
• Whiskey Barrels 
• Old Milk Cans

This one is my favorite, an old chicken feeder.

There were even a couple of cute dogs handing around!

They blend in with the flowers so well!

Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

Why do dogs eat grass?

Mostly, when I'm at the farm I love running about and eating all the tall grass that is around. But why do I like grass? I mean, after all I'm not a rabbit. 

As I was resourcing this topic more I found that the experts are not 100% sure why we like grass. There is not one simple answer, but different dogs may eat grass for different reasons.

Some of those reasons maybe:

• We find it tasty
• We are board
• We are having stomach distress
• We have a natural instinct to eat grass

Here are two great resources I found that can help explain this further.

Many veterinarians consider eating grass a normal dog behavior. Just make sure that there are no dangerous fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides used on the grass. This could potentially harm your dog. 

If you have any questions or concerns about your dog eating grass or any other behaviors make sure to consult your veterinarian.

Product Review: Wondercide Natural Products

Most pet parents want what is best for out dog. 

And that is how Wondercide Natural Products was created, by a dog mom who wanted to help her ill dog. Here is their story:

This company is wonderful not only for you pet but for the entire family. They make products for pets, people, and their properties. Wondercide is dedicated to ecological, ethical, and social standard that make the world a healthier place.

I came across this infographic on their website that really puts into perspective the difference between "Deet" and "Biter Fighter" (a natural alternative). If this is how Deet affects humans, I can imaging what it does to dogs.

Here are the products that I tried:

Repel Soap Bar and Evolv Flea and Tick Spray

Check out their YouTube videos on these products. It best part about these products is that they are safe for dogs and their humans.

My mom applied these products before I went to the farm this weekend. Even with all my fluff, applying them for no problem. I had no problems playing outside in the tall grass, fields, and the back yard. However, one of my pals I was playing with had a tick on her head at the end of the day. 

Spencer the Goldendoodle gives these products 4 paws up!

I encourage you to look more into this wonderful company and consider trying their natural products. Not only for your pets but for your entire family.

You can learn more about this wonderful company by visiting their website or social media sites: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube
