SHEDDING DOG HAIR.....YUCK!

Kelsey our rescue

We have been up to our eyeballs with dog hair.  Kelsey was blackish and white and she was a real shedding machine...I said I don't want anymore dogs that shed, especially white ones..... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to wear black, I love to wear black as much as I love to sleep late and stay up late.....  My miniature schnauzers don't shed so I had gotten spoiled.  So then when Kelsey passed on I was sure we would just have Schnauzers from then on, Chloe was still fairly young  and so we were finally free of dog hair clogging up and burning out all the vacuum motors!  We went through several of them with Kelsey.  Dog hair is really hard on motors!

 

Chloe, Zoe, and Kelsey 

Chloe then soon came down with Cushings Disease and diabetes soon and within 6 months I had lost both of my beautiful girls...   We were then dog-less.

Well I was watching the morning news program out of Tulsa a few months later and they had this cute little Jack Russell on trying to find her a good home...

well you know the rest of the story........

How could I resist  those eyes??????

Yes, it was Jackie and does she shed white hair??????

Oh my goodness, yes, 

but our friend who is a Jack Russell owner told us about this product to help with shedding that they use on Ellie's food.  I got on line and ordered it immediately! 

Halo Dream Coat

It took a while to receive in the mail, but  it works, it worked within a week!  Yes, Jackie still sheds some but it is amazing how it works!  The online prices vary greatly but the link above has the best price I could find.  It took awhile to get it but well worth the wait.  Try it I think you will like it and they get so shiny too!

It is also for cats

That is my best tip of the month or maybe ever!

WINTER WONDERLAND AT WOOLAROC

One of my favorite places is just outside of town

to the southwest just 12 miles. 

It was the ranch of Frank Phillips who was the founder of Phillips Petroleum Company headquartered in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.  He built a Museum on the grounds that is full of the most amazing artifacts and art, even shrunken heads!  He collected exotic

animals and there are still plenty of wildlife on the ranch.

We locals grew up loving this place feeling like it is "our own". My mother played here as a child as did her children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren. 

I do not care how old you are you never grow jaded

to not appreciate the beauty of this place.

I am going to take you on a little tour of our little jewel in the Osage.

Moonrise over Bartlesville

I love a full moon and this one was beautiful! It it definetly did not dissapoint me. I about froze my fingers off waiting to get these shots. I got hubby to go out east of town with me so the lights of the city would not interfere with the camera's. We took 2 cameras, I have a pocket Nikon Coolpix 550 and a Nikon 70s digital SLR and I am always comparing them....why, I don't know. I just like to brag on my little cheap purse camera I guess. The top 2 are with the 550 and the bottom one was with the 70S. Yes, there is diffrence but the 550 does a great job especially for a pocket camera!

Friday's full moon was the biggest one of the year, with Earth's natural satellite reaching its closest point to our planet.
Earth, the moon and the sun are all bound together by gravity, which keeps us going around the sun and keeps the moon going around us as it goes through phases. The moon makes a trip around Earth every 29.5 days. But the orbit is not a perfect circle.
The moon's average distance from us is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers). On Friday night it was just 221,560 miles (356,567 kilometers) away. It was 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during the year, according to NASA.
