    A Moment Out of the Norm: Dog Show

    January 18, 2013 /

    A moment out of the norm. “Grinda” is a rescued pup. She is a hoot! She is a Welsh Corgi Pembroke. She has short legs and long ears. She also has our hearts and pride of ownership streaming all around her. Yesterday was her moment to shine. Well, we all take that idea differently… the car for example shining moment would be a wax job. The house’s shine would be a spring cleaning. The shining moment for our dog Grinda: an entry in a dog show. No kidding!Mrs. Becky Kissinger, teacher at Christian High School in Grand Rapids, MI, led an interim class on the subject of ‘dogs’. The class…

    Where is Your Gym?

    January 4, 2013 /

    Motivation and goals are keys to a healthy lifestyle; we read so much about physical fitness around this time of the year. New Year’s resolutions come and sometimes they are gone before the end of January. Some are even made and then forgotten before they are started. For many they include, “I will go the gym this many times (X) a week”. Grinda joined me on my workout today!But physical fitness can be much easier than heading off to the gym and two of the biggest challenges are the time and location issue. Do you have time to get ready, drive to the gym, find the right equipment? Or maybe…

    Pet Fair at Ft Leavenworth and other Local Events

    May 14, 2009 /

    This Saturday, May 16th, Ft Leavenworth is having a Pet Fair from 10 AM till 2 PM! Great time for the kids and pet lovers! They are having a petting zoo, bounce houses and friendly pets are welcome too! They are even going to have pet contests with judges! How did we find out about this event? We think it might have been entered by Grinda, our loving puppy who found a computer free and got it done! But… really! Read on… A member of the Ft Leavenworth community submitted the Pet Fair through our Ft Leavenworth Local Event feature. All of our installation home pages have this feature below…

    Spilt Black Berries

    August 5, 2008 /

    We have a wonderful wild blackberry patch in the “back 40” of our land and they are at the height of their season! We have had a couple of nice rainshowers recently and they are black and fat and I love them in the winter on my cereal and in my muffins. Right now we put them in salads and other wonderful summer dishes. I grew up on a “Berry Farm” and we often call ourselves a Berry Pickin Family. But I get ahead of myself since before they can proceed into my bowl of many types I have to pick them. Now these are wild berries; not in neat…

    Our Pets

    This is VIGDIS! It has been a busy week for me approving new Partners on MilitaryAvenue.com and I enjoyed a very busy category which was Pet Sitters and Kennels. One person had seen MilitaryAvenue.com ads and spread the word throughout her Pet Sitting association about us and I have not stopped putting their ads on the site all week! This is a real plus for you our military community because who has not had a last minute trip and needed someone to watch a favorite pet! We now have many on the site for your use and they offer a great MilitaryReward! 🙂 Right now our puppy (almost 16 years…

    The Jail Bird Puppy

    January 13, 2008 /

    Vacuuming the carpet is not my favorite past time. Remembering the color of the recliner was never an issue. Enter our new puppy: Grinda, a sweet cuddly Corgi. (Disclaimer – our dogs are always puppies as long as they chew on ropes, jump at a squirrel, and bark at the TV.) I am a large dog lover – oh how I loved our afghan hound! What we have now is a ‘low rider’ dog. She is a hoot and about as far from Afghan roots as can be. Her ears are really longer than her legs – and the vet said that makes her a classy lady. Or she was…
