Reading Time: 3 minutes I purchased a small loveseat a couple of weeks ago, and almost as soon as I had it, one of my kitties decided the armrest was a wonderful new place to sharpen her claws. So, I new I was going to need to buy a cover quickly. I looked at all kinds, but I wanted…

Making a chicken feeder from a recycled soda bottle

Posted on September 28, 2020September 29, 2020 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 3 minutes Today, I’m re-running a story originally published on Oct. 8, 2018. Looking back, I can’t believe how much the grandbaby has grown. The chickens have pretty much stayed the same size, however. LOL.       Anyway, I had forgotten about this story until I went back into older posts and then I remembered how…

How to save on care for an aging pet

Posted on May 12, 2020May 16, 2020 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 2 minutes by guest author Penny Martin According to the ASPCA, your first-year costs for a dog can be more than $2,000, and if you are planning to adopt an older animal, you might have to spend even more.

Dog treat gift bottles: make homemade dog treats and recycle bottles into beautiful gifts!

Posted on December 17, 2019March 16, 2020 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 4 minutes This post started with us wondering what to do with the massive amount of Starbucks Frappuccino bottles we have collected. They are very nice bottles, so we don’t really want to throw them out, but they’ve been sitting on our shelves for awhile and we feel guilty whenever we get a new one. So, we…

Product Review: SmartyKat Super Scratcher

Posted on March 18, 2019July 10, 2019 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 2 minutes So, we were looking in Walmart last night for a scratching post for our new kitty, Jingles, because he likes to sharpen his super long claws on everything — the bed, the living room furniture, the back of the couch. We feel like if we taught him to put those tiny but extremely sharp claws…

Posted on January 21, 2019November 10, 2019 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 3 minutes We bought the Kitty City Jungle Panther Play Cube from Wal-Mart in Greenville, North Carolina for $4.98 plus tax. We had been eyeing this for a while now. But, our cat, Motor, pretty much likes to sleep on top of things as opposed to inside stuff and we weren’t sure if she would care for…

How to make a swing for a chicken

Posted on November 30, 2018July 10, 2019 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 3 minutes We have seen chicken swings for sale for $30 and up on online pet stores and ebay. We love our chickens, but that seemed a bit pricey. So we made our own. Given that we already had everything we needed except the rope, it ended up costing us about $4. And that leaves us enough…

The struggle is real: Tip for cleaning algae out of pet’s water bowl

Posted on November 26, 2018November 11, 2019 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 3 minutes A lot of pet owners seem to struggle with keeping algae (either green or red) out of their pet’s water bowl.

Reading Time: 2 minutes First off, here’s Scooby modeling the collar we made. Here’s how we did it: We bought a large collar at Dollar General for around $4. The collar is an adjustable-type collar.

Posted on August 26, 2018March 16, 2020 by bullingtonb2013

Reading Time: 2 minutes We’ve been there. Buying bag after bag of chicken feed can get expensive. And sometimes you just run out and can’t get to Tractor Supply or wherever you buy your feed before the chickens are going to get hungry again. We don’t recommend it for chicks, but in a pinch, we’ve bought bird seed, especially…
