"biker babe" ;)

This beautiful lhasa puppy ( owned and loved by  Mary and Tim Getman of MN)  is dreaming about being a Biker Babe on the Open Road !

Congrats to a new Canine Good Citizen !

Congratulations to 

Indian Hill's Ready to Rumble

The canine good citizen test involves several exercises that demonstrate a dog's ability to mingle with other people and dogs in unfamiliar surroundings and remain calm and obedient. Please see AKC.org for more information on this test.

Making Fleas Flee !

Fleas thrive in the warm , humid weather of our Wisconsin summers! 

If your furry friend has had a recent run in with a flea circus , you may be reluctant to use even more chemicals in your home to ensure they are fully evicted....but  you have that nagging "what if" feeling about who may be still lurking in the carpet...Luckily, a nontoxic and inexpensive bug banish-er can be found in your kitchen cupboards!

 Corral your kids and pets then thoroughly sprinkle the rug with salt! Let the salt sit overnight, then vacuum in the morning. The salt fatally  dehydrates any flea larvae that hatched from eggs buried deep in the carpet, helping eliminate your unwanted guests for good!

This is some information my beginning showmanship class has been reviewing:)

It's Tick Time ! (YUCK)

Lymes Disease is treatable,

 but it is easier to prevent it ! (wish I could wear a tick collar!)

Of course it's pouring rain and definitely doesn't feel like summer yet here in Wisconsin, but this is something to keep in mind for when the sun does make an appearance !
