Bathing your Dog

I just published a good article on how to bathe your dog. With spring coming up, the timing is appropriate.

The article gives good instructions on the best way to bathe your dog, and do’s and dont’s. 

I know that we’ll be bathing all 5 of our dogs at some point in the next few weeks and that’ll mean that all the dog beds, blankets and dog toys get washed at the same time so that everything is clean and smelling good.

Bath-day is a full-day job!

Break the Chain

I came across this excellent post while browsing this morning. I couldn’t agree more with the article.

“Can you believe some people still tether their dogs? If you’re like me you don’t have to suspend disbelief. The evidence is incontrovertible–you can see it as you pass through neighbrhoods with small yards and incomplete fencing.”     Read More…..

A lot off topic but…

definetly something important to think about…    I came across this blog post while working on something else and thought it to be very interesting.

“G-Learning

What do you think? Is e-learning part of the answer to our climate problems? Is e-learning green-learning (or g-learning)? This is not something that I have spent much time contemplating, but at the ITC Board Meeting a couple of weeks ago this topic came up and I found myself somewhat intrigued by it.

Board member David Hutto from North Carolina has done some research about this. What I heard him say is the following (paraphrased slightly): if 1,000 commuter students per state moved to e-learning (rather than driving to campus for F2F (face-to-face) classes) we would save $5.4 million in energy costs (gasoline) per year. I wonder if he was basing these calculations on the current price of over $3.00 per gallon or some earlier, lower amount. Either way, I think there is probably some potential for the idea of leveraging e-learning for gasoline savings, reducing dependence on foreign oil, and reducing carbon emissions. Of course, I don’t think that anyone else actually cares, but at least David and I do.”

I care. I also think this could be extended and expanded into telecommuting for work. Although many companies allow for telecommuting, many more do not. Businesses are very slow to grasp this concept - the fact that it is much more productive, saves a great deal of money for the business as well as for the employee, less stressful and of course, energy-efficient. This has been an uphill battle for many years; one that I have been on-board for for a long time. Still Waiting!
