Kidding Time!
Every person who has goats both eagerly awaits and actively dreads kidding time. The "eagerly awaits" part is easy to understand. Kids are, as a rule, adorable. After their first week of life, they suddenly develop springs in their legs and the desire to jump on anything in their path. Just today, I found one of the kids on the apartment-sized refrigerator that is outside, waiting for Dan to haul it off for scrap metal. Why was he there? Not a clue. It's been sitting there since he was born, and he did not give it a glance. It is entirely possible that he simply waited until I needed a smile on my face. It's as good an explanation as any!

THE EARLIER THE BETTER – SAVE YOURSELF FROM STINGING INSECTS!
Welcome to the unwanted pest world! Insects, bugs, pests, stinging insects are everywhere and are just part of mother nature. Indeed, they are unwelcome on residential and commercial properties. Most residents don’t like the idea of harming pests, but the need to eliminate them and protect our families is much greater. Harming pests could be a disturbance to nature. It’s always important to consult with fully licensed pest control companies or experts before trying to tackle any pest issue or stinging insects on your own.

Paw Prints on Our Hearts
I literally can't even remember a time in my life when I didn't have a pet. My parents had a dog, a cat, and a couple horses when I was born. And I still remember the day my mom picked me up from preschool and took me to the animal shelter to meet the dog we were adopting - my dog. I named him Reggie, and I had him from the time I was in preschool until my freshman year of college. He isn't with me any more, but he will always be my dog. There are just some pets that come into your life and your heart is forever imprinted with their adorable little paw prints.

The Tail of the Cat and the Yarn
We all know cats love yarn, and anyone who crafts with yarn knows that cats are their best ‘helper’. I have had multiple strands of yarn unexpectedly cut by sharp teeth or tangled in kitty paws and balls of yarn gathered under couches by my roommate’s cat.

Creating to Remember
I enjoy creating a lot of different things, using many mediums including, but not limited to: embroidery, painting, resin, polymer clay, metal, and wood.. This, by far, is my favorite to make, though; shown is one of the pet memorial pyramids I offer to grieving pet parents. It is made from epoxy resin, mica pigments, glitter, and whatever keepsakes the owner(s) wants included. This one specifically holds a collar, tag, and small toy. Of course, I use my Fiskars scissors to cut down the mementos to fit either a 6x6x6 or 4x4x4 pyramid. I also use them to cut and create personalized thank you cards that go with each completed piece. As someone who has had several pets come and go, I know how important it is to remember your furry family members. I wanted to offer more than just ash or fur preservation, although I do include resin necklaces, keychains, etc. with added ash and/or fur to go along with the pyramids. The bright colors and glitter make a wonderful show piece to add to your home decor, and are customized to the client’s liking. These pyramids are very costly and time-consuming to make, but they are worth it. A lot of love and good energy is put into each memorial as well. I don’t know where I would be without my furry friends, so I am always honored to have a part in remembering our four-legged companions all over the world.
