<br />
Lady is now about 6 months old, and has lost all of her baby teeth. She lost the last two top canines on Saturday and the new ones are already about half grown in. She has also put on a fair amount of weight, weighing at least 30 pounds now. Her grip when playing tug is very strong, and is of course one of her favourite games.<br />
<br />
She is so very smart too! She loves to put balls into plastic tubs, carry the tub around (with the ball inside) and then tossing the ball still holding the tub in her mouth. Lady also enjoys using blankets and such to bury her balls and then 'find' them again.<br />
<br />
I have caught her picking up my husband's hockey stick and trying to hit her toys around using it. She will even pick up a glove or another toy and use that to whack her toy balls and then chase after them.<br />
<br />
Lady is now for certain house trained. She had to be left in the house for 3.5 hours last Thursday, and when my husband returned there were no 'treasures' left anywhere for him to find. We are very proud of her :)<br />
<br />
One day going down to the mill and checking out the river, my husband took along the camera. Here are some shots of what he and Lady saw. She soooo wanted to catch that goose!<br />

She is definately happier now that things are proceeding nicely. I have found that most often, within a day of losing a tooth a new one is already showing in it's place. She still likes to have a frozen tomato and one of her berry ice cubes after the loss of the tooth. She is currently getting ready to lose the 4 canine teeth. Those are the ones causing her the most problems, as the roots are the longest and take quite awhile to reabsorb. We all are anticipating the relief she will be feeling once those are gone. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She has also had at least 4 molars grow in, and I will be checking regularly to see how many more are there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She does not like it much when I am away from the house at work, and greets me most enthusiastically when she sees me again in the evening. It is all cuddles and groans for about half an hour then she settles. I think that will change slightly when spring gets here. She will have so many new things to sniff that she will be quite content.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My husband heard on a radio show on CBC regarding training dogs that two methods seem to stand out from the rest. One is called 'click' training. That is when you get a clicker, and whenever she displays appropriate behaviour, or even the beginning of it, you click. As time goes on she will automatically do that particular thing and be much easier to control when it comes to jumping on people, doing tricks, or even just letting people know when she needs to go outside.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The other thing of interest was training her to be where you want her when you are out on walks. I like having her right by my left side. So what a person does it take a spoon, put peanut butter on it, and freeze it. When taking her for a walk, hold the spoon exactly where you want her head to be, and after a few 'spoons' she will naturally walk there. She will 'remember' the good feelings/tastes associated with being in that spot that you will no longer need to use the spoon. I am thinking of trying this starting this week. I will let you all know how it turns out.<br />

She has lost about 4 of her incisors now. She still wimpers a bit and gets quite frustrated that she can not hold on to her tug toy as good as before, but is much happier now. I even managed to get a tooth! I have a tiny glass vial charm that I had saved from a few years ago, and put it in that. I know, a bit weird, but then again I still have some of my son's baby teeth and he turns 20 this year!<br />
<br />
<br />
Lady is pretty much house trained now. She has only had a couple times where we did not get up early enough in the morning and I do not hold her to blame for that. <br />
<br />
Over the next 4 weeks I am not going to be able to spend as much time with her as I would like, I am working 4 days a week. I am very happy for my sake about the extra day of work, but Lady is not going to be impressed with it. It is for the best in so many ways though. Plus, eventually when my husband goes back to work she will be alone for 9 hours until I return from work. By then she will be 7 - 8 months old though. So hoping things will go smoothly.<br />
<br />
Lady and our cat Leo are getting along Very well now! I have found Leo purring and rubbing up against Lady quite often. No taking of naps together as of yet, but one never knows if they cuddle up at night. I hope to get a picture of them together someday soon.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of her playing with her 'jug' in the back yard. As you can see, she loves it!<br />

It is so sad, to see a puppy in distress and not be able to either explain it to her, or to help much.<br />
<br />
<br />
Add this to the fact that she is growing very quickly, and the result is not much sleep for anyone involved. <br />
<br />
We did find out a few very interesting things, however. Lady loves frozen raspberries, frozen blueberries and frozen cherry tomatos. Rather than going out and buying her a puppy teething ring (made from who knows where and who knows what), I started making her ice cubes with raspberries and blue berries in them. It helps take down the inflammation in her gums, sooths aches and she gets a 'treat' when the cube has melted.<br />
<br />
I wonder how long it takes for the teething process to finish?<br />
<br />
<br />

After cleaning it off, I discovered that it was in perfect shape, and took Lady outside in the back yard to show her how much fun it can be. She would chase after it and get so confused since it did not fly the same as when you toss a ball. It was hilarious! After a few tosses she learned very quickly to watch it and change direction as it did. I do not think it will be long before she learns to guess where it is going and start catching it on the fly.<br />
<br />
She is now going most nights without any accidents. The only time she did was when we were so tired neither of us got up at our regular 5:30 wake-up time. She felt quite embarrassed, I could see it in her eyes.<br />
<br />
Last night, she was cuddled up with me in my chair and I started saying 'Hello, Hello". She immediately got up and ran over to the door, looking for something. She came back to me, looking quite sad. I was not sure at first what was happening and did it again. My husband laughed and told me that I was using the same tone of voice as when I say "hello Leo" (my cat). Turns out, she was expecting to see Leo! She really adores him and tries so very hard to get Leo to play with her. <br />
<br />
Later on, when Leo came inside for the night, Lady took one of her toys (a plush parrot squeaky toy I made her) up to Leo and dropped it in front of him. She then backed off a few paces, and layed down. She wiggled her butt a few times and whimpered. Leo just looked at her and the toy and did nothing. Lady wiggled forward a bit, and nosed the parrot towards Leo and wiggled her butt again. Leo finally batted at the parrot a couple of times and that was just what Lady wanted. Lady got so excited she barked and jumped up, and of course Leo took off like a shot! That of course started a chase around the house for a few minutes until Leo jumped up on the dresser in the washroom where I keep his food. <br />
<br />
It does seem that they are becoming fast friends. I wonder if this summer I will find them sprawled out on Lady's couch outside, asleep in the sun?<br />

<br />
I take her for walks about 3 times a week right now as I do not want to confuse her training. Since my hubby uses slightly different commands and he takes her out in the bush it is too much potential for confusion. When he walks her, she is let off the leash quite often, and he uses a longer leash. I prefer to go for shorter walks and use a shorter leash. I find it easier to control her and that is important since we meet lots of people on our walks. She has learned to stop at every intersection and sit until I give her the go-ahead. She will even look both ways at times.<br />
<br />
Near the end of the week she managed to go 3 days without having an accident in the house over night! We were so proud of her. She got an extra treat at the end of the day (of course she had no idea why).<br />
<br />
Lady discovered a new toy. She took possession of one of my old flower pots. It makes a lovely sound when rolled around on the floor or chewed on. She also loves to pick up one of her other toys, and put it in the flower pot and carry it around that way. I wonder if she can be trained to put away her toys at the end of the day?<br />
<br />

She loves going for long romps in the bush with my husband and is getting over her fear of meeting other dogs. She still loves to jump in excitement although the words 'down' and 'sit' are starting to work.<br />
<br />
We changed to feeding her twice a day now, and it was a bit easier helping her to go outside rather than just 'letting go' whenever she needed to. I believe she started to recognise the signals of when she needed to go. <br />
<br />
Her favourite outside toy is a (very well cleaned) oil jug, that she chases along the snow. It slides so very well and can be picked up by the handle. I wonder what she will do come spring when it gets mucky? <br />
<br />
Lady went to visit a farmer friend of ours with my husband and she had a wonderful time. He is a cattle farmer and I believe she felt like she was home again (being raised on a cattle farm). She loved playing with the cats and being able to run about in and out of the barn.<br />
<br />
She was given a wonderful treat, a nice bone that she managed to drag around even though it was huge! It definately helped her with her teething and she was quite content staying outside in her area for hours at a time chewing on it.<br />

She made friends with our cat Leo, and they now have an 'understanding'. It was so nice to see that they did not turn into growling fights, I was a bit concerned about it.jewelzodonnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12817877804013595210noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745614782959097382.post-72424986138912535412011-01-19T08:28:00.000-05:002011-01-19T08:28:13.137-05:00Life with Lady, our Aussie Lab mix puppyI have decided to do a bit of a diary on Life with Lady. Mind you, it has been about 5 weeks now since we got her, so for the next little while these posts will be about what had happened then. As time goes on I will be able to catch up to what is happening more currently.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Week 1:</strong></span><br />
<br />
We took Lady to the Christmas family party on Christmas day, and to be honest I was a bit leary about it. <br />
<br />
We had her only a week and a half and she was far from trained to go visiting. I worried for nothing however, as everyone loved her and we just made it a habit to take her outside every 40 minutes or so 'just in case'. <br />
<br />
It went very well, she did not beg during meal time and there were no 'treasures' left for my brother-in-law and his wife. <br />
<br />
We were still feeding her 3 times a day at that point and my husband was trying to figure out the best time for her evening meal. He wanted to give her enough time for sleep and still wake up early enough to help her prevent 'accidents' inside.<br />
<br />
She was leash trained at this point and we had finally found an actual harness that fit her after I modified it a bit. <br />
<br />
She had learned to play fetch by this point although we still had to work on her bringing it back for another toss. She also loved to play tug with me.<br />
<br />
One evening she was a bit bored with her toys, so we came up with a new one for her. It certainly proved an hour of laughter, and she figured it out very quickly. We put a golf ball under a round plastic container on the floor and moved it around. Lady could see and hear the ball, and she wanted that ball! She pushed it around on the hardwood floor for about 20 minutes, and then finally pounced on it, right on the edge. It popped up and the ball rolled out. Lady was very excited about this and wanted us to put the ball under the container again. Within 5 minutes she had the ball out again. <br />
<br />
Next, we put a lid on the container and it took about 30 minutes that time for her to figure out how to take the lid off. She then proceeded to pick up the ball, and drop it in the container and bring both back to one of us to put together again. She is such a smart dog!jewelzodonnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12817877804013595210noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745614782959097382.post-10796132373930220552010-12-22T06:29:00.001-05:002011-01-19T08:25:34.362-05:00We got a puppy!Our Lady Tripper <br />
<br />
My husband and I got our Christmas gift early this year. Lady is a 16 week old Australian Shepherd / Labrador Retriever mix (also known as a Shepador).<br />
<br />
We just got her on Monday, and already she is doing very well with the 'house breaking'. Raised on a cattle farm, she loves the outdoors and has a lot of respect for other larger animals and vehicles. Now if only our Leo, the cat, would be able to become friends with her. Since our other cat Smokie went missing a month ago it has seemed a bit lonely in the house. That is certainly not the problem now!<br />
<br />
Isn't Lady the most adorable puppy ever?<br />

I know, we are all very careful of the toys we allow our children to play with, and once the child no longer plays with their stuffies, what are we to do with them?<br />
<br />
One thing you can do is if it is in perfect condition, you can give them away to a child who has very little. But sometimes they are just thrown in the trash because they are missing an eye or other part, and most people do not have the time or ability to fix the toy.<br />
<br />
This is where I decided to rescue some of the toys in my house. Rather than just tossing them, I took the ones in really good shape, and repurposed them. I washed them, removed any potential harmful bits such as ribbins, jingle bells, plastic eyes, and unknown stuffing etc. I then repaired any rips, embroidered on new eyes/noses and replaced the stuffing with new poly quilt batting. The ones that are to be used as dog toys I added a small squeaker. <br />
<br />
Now are these not just adorable?<br />
<br />

I know I do. I also know it can be a pain to try to find places to keep them, and get so tired of them taking up space in cupboards or closets. <br />
<br />
Years ago I had made a bunch of fabric tubes with elastic at the top and bottom, and loops at the top for storing these bags in. I had given a bunch to family and friends and they loved them! Recently I started making them again and put them up for sale in my ArtFire studio. I now have quite a few of these <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&sc_id=85595&seller_id=80022&op=new">grocery bag holders</a> available in a variety of sizes and prints.<br />
<br />
They make wonderful gifts, and you can keep on in each room of your house such as your kitchen, hallway, laundry room, nursery, garage or even in your car. If you are an artisan/crafter and participate at craft shows, they are a great way to transport and store your bags in for your customers.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of the ones I have available in my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/Jewelz_Creatives">ArtFire studio</a> right now.<br />

<br />
<br />
It has been a banner year for those icky creepy crawly spiders here, in fact I think I have seen some new ones. Or at least ones that I have not seen often enough before to make an impact on me. I need to make it clear that I Do Not Like spiders, in any way. In fact, I usually scream when I see them. It all comes from a couple of incidents when I was a young child. One was being bitten a spider. The bite swelled up and was extremely itchy. The other incident was actually multiple times, and no I was not bitten. However, we did not have a basement, we had a crawl space under our house. That was where we kept our vegetables such as potatoes, onions, carrots, and the wonderful jams and pickles my mom made. That crawl space was Loaded with spiders, and whenever I had to go get stuff I would cover myself head to toe with clothing. I had nightmares about it for years.<br />
<br />
When I was a teenager, about age 19, I was living in a cottage on the north mountain in Nova Scotia. That one summer I remember clearly the cottage was covered in these huge black spiders for a couple of days. The kind of spider that screamed 'taranshula' in my mind. No, they were not, but still. Nasty icky things.<br />
<br />
The ones that have made an impact on me this year are not the tiny furry black things, but the huge fat bodied ones that are like a mosaic. Apparently my son was actually feeding a couple in our garage! One of them is so huge now, it's body is the size of a shooter marble! It has now changed colour from the normal black and grey to an almost brilliant orangey yellow shade. That change happened over a couple days. My husband tells me it is due to the fact that she is ready to lay her eggs. I do not know why, but I do know that her colouring is just perfect for Hallowe'en and it is actually quite stunning. <br />
<br />
No idea why, but I felt compelled to take some pictures of a few of this type of spider we have around our property. Turns out we have two in the garage, one hanging from the roof of our porch, and two in the front flower beds. I am certain there are lots more I have not seen. <br />

I am very excited as I love rose hip tea, and want to make some rose hip jelly. <br />
<br />
After the first frost, I will be harvesting these lovely fruits, and some of them will be dried in preparation for my winter supply of tea. The rest of them will be used to make some wonderful jelly. If it turns out I will let you know and provide my recipe.<br />
<br />
Aren't they gorgeous??<br />

We had purchased the shingles last fall, but ran out of time (it snowed a couple weeks too early), and then of course as soon as spring came the guys we were going to get to help us had already started working. <br />
<br />
Yesterday, we were able to get things organized enough to start the process, and I have to admit, I am very pleased. They got the first side of the roof already done (stripped, new boards put down, plus shingled) and today it looks like they will be able to do the other side.<br />
<br />
Now, one thing I have to keep in mind is that our house is over a hundred years old, and used to be a church. So, the roof is extremely steep, and Not a fun job to do. I do believe it was about 20 years ago since it was re-shingled, and there was some damage caused by pesky hornets nesting under the boards. So all in all, it is quite amazing how much they accomplished yesterday.jewelzodonnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12817877804013595210noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745614782959097382.post-42349715726349230352010-09-15T17:53:00.001-04:002010-09-16T17:40:32.982-04:00The best online selling venue group deal ever!Have you been thinking of opening up your own website, or looking for that perfect yet affordable venue to sell your handmade goodies, vintage items or supplies?

I bought about 2 huge bushels of apples, (royal gala) and am going to be peeling, chopping and freezing for winter for most of the next two days. I will have help this time though! My husband's cousin is here for the weekend, and she will be helping me get these done. <br />
<br />
Who knows, we may even make some applesauce and some pies too!jewelzodonnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12817877804013595210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745614782959097382.post-74916789185530035562010-09-09T06:16:00.000-04:002010-09-09T06:16:03.225-04:00Gift shopping for menWe have all been there, searching for just the right gift for the beloved man in your life. Sometimes it can be quite a daunting task! We look high and low, left and right, and sometimes end up just getting the usual: a tie, socks, a hat. <br />
<br />
The other day I was doing some online research to see just what was out there in the <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=gift_hub">handmade market for gifts for men</a>, and of course, I ended up on ArtFire. There are some truly amazing and unique handmade products that the men in my life would love! I thought I would create a collection of some of my favourites to share with you.<br />
<br />
Choices galore in metal arts, leather crafts, woodworking and so many more, I do not know where to begin!<br />

It is one of my favourite times of the year. The cool crisp nights, the fall colours, the wonderful smells... It is so cute seeing little children get all dressed up and excited about Hallowe'en, it brings back so many memories of being a little child. <br />
<br />
Since my son is all grown up now, I find that am wanting to help create that wonderful feeling for other people's children. So, I have started shopping already for some <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?sterm=halloween+fall&sinclude=&sexclude=&name=hypersearch&view=0&display=0&cb=1&price_low=&price_high=&sort_cats=3&mature=0">handmade fall decorations</a> that not only are suitable for autumn, but Hallowe'en as well. Witches, goblins, wee little ghosties are all on my list. <br />
<br />
While you are doing your shopping for fall and Hallowe'en, do not forget <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=1634370">your pets</a>! There are some really cute costumes and toys out there for them as well.<br />

It is a wonderful relaxing way to escape the "day to day" life, and I find it quite refreshing. The other day I was searching for some <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?sterm=fantasy&sinclude=&sexclude=&name=hypersearch&view=0&display=0&cb=1&price_low=&price_high=&sort_cats=3&mature=0">handmade gifts that I could buy based on fantasy</a>, and found these. Aren't they wonderful??<br />

One of my favourite times of year with the days warm and sunny, the fall colours brightening things up, and the cool crisp nights. I find it is so easy to sleep without having the added noises of fans and air conditioners.<br />
<br />
As Hallowe'en approaches, <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=categories&op=guides&pt=1&type_id=13">the yard and home decor</a> start appearing. Little witches, goblins and wee ghosties pop up in the most unexpected places. <br />

Take this <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=1700408">Witch</a> for example, isn't she just the most adorable little one you have seen? She would look great in your living room, or even snuggled in your deck chair, peeking out at guests as they arrive. Handmade by <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&seller_id=76971&op=new&body=1">Haunted Willow</a> who has some of the most wonderful primitives I have seen in awhile. <br />
<br />
During my search for other wonderful <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=gift_hub">handmade gift ideas</a>, I came across a few treasures I have added to my want list. If I were able to get all of them, I would have the best decorated house on my block! jewelzodonnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12817877804013595210noreply@blogger.com0
