Thursday March 19 2009.<\/em> 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??).\u00a0 But there are two things I bought this week that are really cool and I wanted to share.\u00a0 First, is the Crest SpinBrush.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 My gums are ticklish and those are too strong for tender me.\u00a0 But the SpinBrush – $7.50 at Wal-Mart is great.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I am not into the artificial whitening since it weakens the enamel after a few years.\u00a0 So this is my fix.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Also this week, I saw a flea on my fat girl kitty and flipped out!\u00a0 I usually keep both kitties dosed with Frontline Plus, but it had been 5 months since I gave it to them.\u00a0 Usually during the winter they don’t need it, but I should have given it to them last month simply because it was February.\u00a0 So, I went to my vet, Animal Medical Clinic on Babcock in Palm Bay, to buy more Frontline.\u00a0 They suggested I give each each kitty a Capstar pill to kill any fleas and eggs on them now.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0 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.\u00a0 These were bigger pills.\u00a0 No problem.\u00a0 I thought.<\/p>\n

After the 4th try with 11 pound YinYang, I gave up.\u00a0 I knew not to try it with 25 lb Izzy who is strong enough to shred my arm off.\u00a0 I went to PetSmart and got some pill pockets, that I’d never heard of.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I didn’t know how that would make it down their throats without them biting into it, but it worked like a charm.\u00a0 Yay!<\/p>\n

Well, today’s boring post is coming to an end, I have to go pay property taxes and\u00a0 get everything ready for tomorrow’s delivery of the April Horizons Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have an awesome day<\/p>\n
