Adding a new puppy to our home has been a discussion for about a year now.
We still have the feral cat that adopted us many years ago, and we thought when something happened to him, we would get a dog.
Thankfully, Rusty the cat is still around, and from his actions with the neighbor's dog that visits regularly, I don't think he would overly mind having a puppy around.
We had a large dog many years ago, but this time around a smaller one is in order.
A lot less dirt and work with a smaller dog is what us older folk need.
And then there is the business of the ticks and fleas.
I tell you, I haven't missed them all these years, and I know they are bound to be around with an indoor pet.
But there is a new way of controlling them that wasn't around when we had our first dog.
Once a month the dog is given a dose, and the Vectra treatment begins working in five minutes.
Not only does it repell and kill ticks and fleas, but the mosquitoes, sand flies, and mites are also affected by the treatment.
It even stays working after bathing and swimming.
And all of this is available through the dog's vet.

It was a two hour special that we didn’t even know was on until we discovered it while going through the channels – so glad we caught it from the beginning.
It was a very well put together program that interacted with several NASA scientists as they explained what the 120 satellites do that are in orbit around our plant.
There were great visuals from the satellites and all the explanations were very easy to understand and they really held the attention.
Our beautiful planet maintains such a delicate balance of all the forces that support life.
It is seriously a circle of life, all dependent on everything working flawlessly together to keep it all going.
From space and the sun, to the atmosphere surrounding us, to all the surface elements, and to the heartbeat deep within the the planet itself.
Every aspect is explored and explained, and it was extremely interesting to view.
I was amazed at what these satellites capture and how the scientists are able to put it all together.
If you get a chance to view this program it is well worth your time.
We live on an amazing planet and all the forces that work to support life on it are just as amazing.
A very delicate balance that shows how life is really a true gift to us all!
