Thursday March 19 2009. Ok, I have to admit I didn’t prepare a blog post for this morning because I’ve been busy with other work (me, busy??). But there are two things I bought this week that are really cool and I wanted to share. First, is the Crest SpinBrush. I’m not one to buy fad type items, but I AM a toothbrushing freak. I’ve had some of those sonic brushes that kinda of vibrate your teeth out of your jaw – not a fan of those. My gums are ticklish and those are too strong for tender me. But the SpinBrush – $7.50 at Wal-Mart is great. It takes two batteries (included) or you can buy the rechargeable one for $14. Although I drink tea and eat a lot of tomatoes, I brush several times a day to keep my teeth bright and white. I am not into the artificial whitening since it weakens the enamel after a few years. So this is my fix. I use the Crest whitening toothpaste and then afterwards do a polish on the front teeth using plain baking soda mixed with a little sea salt.
Also this week, I saw a flea on my fat girl kitty and flipped out! I usually keep both kitties dosed with Frontline Plus, but it had been 5 months since I gave it to them. Usually during the winter they don’t need it, but I should have given it to them last month simply because it was February. So, I went to my vet, Animal Medical Clinic on Babcock in Palm Bay, to buy more Frontline. They suggested I give each each kitty a Capstar pill to kill any fleas and eggs on them now.
That was easy, my cats are easy to work with and, pop – pop, one tiny pill each down feline throat, no problem and they were good to go. A couple of days later, I decided since I saw a flea that likely she swallowed one, so I also wanted to give one Tape Worm Tab each also. These were bigger pills. No problem. I thought.
After the 4th try with 11 pound YinYang, I gave up. I knew not to try it with 25 lb Izzy who is strong enough to shred my arm off. I went to PetSmart and got some pill pockets, that I’d never heard of. They are little soft chicken flavored “treats” that have a hole to place a pill in, then you simply close it up around the pill, like a wad of gum. I didn’t know how that would make it down their throats without them biting into it, but it worked like a charm. Yay!
Well, today’s boring post is coming to an end, I have to go pay property taxes and get everything ready for tomorrow’s delivery of the April Horizons Magazine.
Have an awesome day
