Little Doggy Stairs
My sweet Scottie Gus is just a little too short to jump up onto my bed. Although I would love to get a mini workout in by lifting him up every time, I decided to make him his own mini steps.

You'll get notification about our new projects and what is up and coming.If you have a dog, you deal with waste! You pick it up from your backyard, your neighbor's yard, and on your walks. Do you immediately throw it in the trash or do you hold it until you have a container full?Well, with the addition of Mac the greyhound, Steph has had to deal with a lot of doggy doo doo. (Can I say that on Hometalk?) She has been using a Pet Genie to collect it and throws it in the garbage on pick up day.The Pet Genie has been a good system, but you have to purchase additional bags. She decided to come up with a way to DIY a waste storage system using a five gallon bucket. Take a look!
Baby Chick Brooder - Repurposed Dog Crate
If you want to see what these fluff ball chicks look like now, I post pictures and videos of them @petalsandchalk on Instagram. Our newest adventure began this weekend, we brought home baby chicks. I have been dreaming for some time of raising chickens. Last fall, I even joined a Facebook group, for chicken owners to educate myself on everything that I could learn before we brought our newest family members home. That Facebook group showed equally both sides of raising backyard chickens. There were stories of joys, funny tales and also ones that would break my heart. So, going into this I felt well prepared. I read blogs and checked out every chicken book my library had to educate myself And it still was terrifying bringing home those tiny beings. This post is to share my newbie ways that we are raising our baby chicks on a budget. Driving home with the new babies, I kept thinking of a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, "Do one thing every day that scares you." This is the first time in a long time where I did something that scared me and I am so glad that I did. Update: Since this was my first time raising chicks there are things I would do differently. A brooder warming device instead of a heat lamp is something I plan to invest in. I plan to look into Chick vaccinations next time. Puppy pads instead of paper and paper towels is so much easier. We ended up getting ducks and Bantam chicks so we have 3 brooders in the house. Changing the paper in three brooders was a task but once I changed to puppy pads it was so much easier. With the pasty butt, I found something that I think works better than anything I read on the internet but don’t want to bore you since this already a wordy post. If interested, comment and I will reply back.

I need to put something in the hallway to keep my cats from accessing the living room and kitchen when I am not home. It is only 30" wide but it needs to be taller than 5' (they are good leapers). Any ideas?

One of my three chihuahuas seems to love using decorative rugs as his bathroom. I can’t seem to get him trained to do otherwise. We adopted him a year ago when he was three years old.
