There are varied drugs for various diseases. Nowadays, web is the cost efficient method to buy any drugs for any needs. Certainly, the nomenclature is quite long. If you’re concerned about sexual dysfunction, you have to know about “viagra on line” and “buying viagra online“. Currently many people search online for the exact phrase “buy viagra online” on the Internet. Divers companies describe it as “undefined”. What can lead to erectile dysfunction? Divers diseases can damage nerves. Along with their good effects, most medicaments, even so, have dangerous aftereffects although generally not everyone experiences them. Throw away any generic that is no longer needed. For example the liquid medications ideally have to be kept in the cool place, but also may be stored at room temperature.
Another year as passed (and it’s already February as I type this!)! How quickly time goes when you’re having a blast! My fur-clients never ceased to put a smile on my face and laughter in my heart! From wee-little Chihuahuas to almost ride-able Great Danes, they all kept me hopping! Our Forest Adventure continued to expand, though out the year, and is now a 5-day-a-week fun-filled option! Several fur-clients are taking advantage of an entire week of energy-burning socialization, and many others are joining in for a day or two or three. Quite often, we meet other pooches out on the trails and the packs enjoy their impromptu “party”. Their interactions help to build a more confident and stable personality, and their travels help to satisfy their instinctual need to travel on a daily basis. It’s an all-round win-win solution for the owner, the beloved K9’s, and, of course, myself – I’m the lucky one who gets to spend my days with such terrific pups!
Here we have part of the Friday pack – (back) Tyson and Spike (front) Butterball and Daisy. There’s no denying that they’re having the time of their life!
Many thanks goes out to my grooming clients! You have loyally returned on a regular basis to fill my grooming days well in advance! I apologize to new-comers who are usually surprised at the waiting list – many times, depending on the time of year, 6-weeks is not uncommon! But please don’t let that put you off. Quite often there will be an empty spot, and once you’re “in”, you’re IN!
Meet Katy, all decked-out for Santa

The end of a calendar time signals the time to unlock the tip box and find out how much we collected for the Smiling Blue Skies Canine Cancer Fund. With excited fingers, I added up the coins and bills to a grand total of $200! Whahoooo! That’s $200 that can help find a cure! I love sending that off, and all those who donated should have a proud feeling in their hearts knowing that they are helping such a worthwhile cause!
I am very excited that Suzi Beber, the founder of Smiling Blue Skies, and I have something BIG planned for the middle of the new year that will, hopefully, increase that donation exponentially. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement! It is going to be so exciting and so much fun!
The Spring of 2011 was particularly exciting on the home-front with the birth of our first lambs. We were blessed with a set of twin boys and 2 singles, a girl and a boy! I was fortunate to witness/assist in the birth of the singles, while a good friend was present for the birth of the twins. The miracle of new life never gets old! There are pictures in the photo gallery if you wish to take a peak of minutes-old baby lambs!
We had to say good-bye to Ciaran in the Autumn, one of the hardest things we’ve had to do, and we’re still reeling from the loss. Ciaran was such an intricately woven thread in the fabric of our lives and not a day goes past that we aren’t constantly reminded of the presence he had in our home. Love you, Ciaran-a-man!
Having some fun with “Daddy”
Well, that’s it for the 2011 news! I hope you enjoyed your visit back-in-time with me! We are looking forward to a New Year full of exciting walks, visits, and adventures both within the business and on the farm. As I wrote earlier, an exciting event is being planned for mid-Spring AND we’re hoping for some new lambs in May as well! May you all have a wonderful 2012!

Give your pooch’s coat a boost with an invigorating shampoo. It will help to remove the dead winter undercoat and all the debris that has been trapped underneath that can cause irritations to their sensitive skin. A soothing conditioner will help to restore Fido’s and Fluffy’s coat to a lustrous shine. Your pooch will feel luxuriously soft, lighter, free-er, and ultimately healthier!
Make your pooch’s day by calling to book an appointment! You’ll both be thrilled with the results!

The rates are very reasonable, and the smiles are always free!

What an incredible year 2010 was both with Paws to Claws and on the home-front.
The business saw tremendous growth in all areas. Dog walking has become a 5-day-a-week labour of love. In order to accommodate the explosion of daily walk requests, I dedicated Saturday to grooming – much to the delight of the clients who were unable to make it to week-day appointments. All in all, it’s worked out wonderfully! I appreciate everyone’s patience as we tweaked schedules to be able to fit all the pooches in!
We are so proud to say that after three-quarters of a year of hard work, we are finally able to call our home a farm. We purchased 4 Suffolks ewes in September. They are enjoying their newly-fenced field and their own stable in the barn. Currently, the girls are hosting a very handsome young ram, with the hopes that the flock may expand in the spring. Fingers crossed!
Our pack is doing well for the most part but this is where we suffered an unexpected blow. Our 6 year old male Belgian, Ciaran, was officially diagnosed with cardiac failure in May. He was given about 6 months, and promptly put on a few cardiac medications to help him with various complications. Much to our surprise, the 6 month time-frame came and went. Day after day, we have been blessed with his greeting each morning. Seeing his face on Christmas morning was the biggest gift we’ve ever received!
We have had his abdomen drained twice now, to remove excess fluids, and we restrict his activities and he continues to surprise us over and over again. We are certainly cherishing these moments!
Finally, a HUGE proud moment: Thanks to the generosity of many, many clients, we were able to make a donation of $310, collected from tips, to the Smiling Blue Skies Cancer Fund. That is FANTASTIC! Let’s hope those dollars can make a difference in the lives of our fur-friends!
Another year is upon us and I’m sure it will hold all kinds of surprises just like last year did. We hope to be able to continue serving our 4-legged clients with all the love and respect they deserve. We wish them all a safe and fun-filled year ahead!

Can it be? Can we really hear Santa’s sleigh bells already? Sure enough – Christmas is just around the corner! Be sure to make an appointment for your pup for a few hours of pampering and primping! You’ll love their fresh, clean smell and be wowed at how cute they look again! Don’t delay – appointments are limited!
On July 10, 2010, the Scanlon Creek Bark Park will be officially opened! Please join us from 11:30am to 2pm for a BBQ by the Bradford Lions (nomimal fee), treats for the pooches, a fundraising raffle, and a presentation of prizes to the 3 winners of the name-the-dog-park contest!
Last week, Tyson, Romeo, and I did a sneak peak of the dog park and, BOY!, were we stunned. It’s absolutely AMAZING! An incredibly dog-fun-tastic place! Loads of space to run around (3.2 acres to be exact!), loads of mature trees to keep things shady, a double-gate system for the pooches safety, and even a wonder-ruff-le little path thru the forest that leads to the park. Kudos goes to Brenda Winter, Project Coordinator and Community Outreach, Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation, for spear-heading the whole project. Brenda: WE LOVE YOU!

Never one to pass up an opportunity to learn more about our four-legged friends, here I’m getting up-close and personal with a real cutie! We were participating in a lambing clinic, held by Alice Guthrie of New Hope Crossfire, located in Haldimand County, Ontario. Check out Alice’s website: http://newhopecrossfire.com/

I have been so very blessed in my life with many, many gifts. When starting my own business, I searched different web sites in regards to ways I could possibly make a difference in another’s life. I came across a site, Smiling Blue Skies Cancer Fund. Upon reading the founder’s story, I knew I was sent to this site for a reason. I urge anyone viewing my site to click on the link,
http://www.smilingblueskies.com
Reading their story will, no doubt, touch your heart, as it did mine. It brought back many, many memories of my heart-dog, Blaze, a beautiful Siberian Husky, who left my world at the tender age of 10. One morning he was all over me, and 12 hours later, I cried over his death. While his departure was quick, it was so unexpected. I had so many plans still in my mind. But that’s what this disease will do and anything I can do to help find a cure seems like a small price to pay.
As of October 1, 2009, any and all tips from grooming, dog walking, and sitting will be pooled and donated to the Smiling Blue Skies Cancer Fund. Together, we can make a difference in the future lives of our Fur-kids.
I urge you to visit their site http://www.smilingblueskies.com/, read their stories, view their pictures, and help where you can! We all thank you!
