We're getting a new baby!
Comments (22)The dividing lines most often go: toy 6-9 lbs; tiny toy 4-6 lbs; teacup under 4 lbs. If she's registered, you can get a geneology, which will give you a bit of a guide to her heritage in size. No promises, though. Nature persists in selecting some genes at random. I got Lalee when she was 3 weeks old, because the owner/breeder was going to euthanize her. Even at that tender age, being twice the size of her littermates, it was obvious her size was a 12-generation throw-back. Those previous generations were all teacups, weighing an average of 3 pounds, except for a 5lb g-g-g-etc-greatgrandsire. She was the most intelligent, and best-natured dog I've ever had....See MoreA pic of my new baby boy...
Comments (6)I will get a bag of frozen peas today and see how he likes them. I change his water every couple weeks. I took the filter out, he seemed to really not like it. I talked with someone at a petstore that has multiple betta's and she said she didn't have a filter in any of her betta tanks. So I took his out, and I do a thorough cleaning when I change his water. I have quite a few live plants floating on the top of his tank and he seems to really like that. He's got his bubble nest in a corner. I try to scoop it out when I change his water and then pour it back in when I am done....See MoreWe have a new years baby here
Comments (7)Thank you! I went to your photobucket website, and you have some beautiful flowers including the brugs and hibiscus. I posted a note on one of the white hibiscus as follows: "This is beautiful. What variety is it? Have you seen the white Hawaiian Hibiscus arnottianus which is allegedly the only hibiscus to be slightly fragrant? They are also beautiful." My daughter lives on Oahu, and she and I went to one of the botanical gardens, and I saw one and fell in love immediately. Next time I head out that way, I'm bringing one back.

Comments (25)Congratulations on your pregnancy! Having a baby is a wonderful thing and there is something special about having your first. I thought I had posted but I don't see my post and I wanted to share my thoughts with you. I have 5 children. If you can live with what you have, I REALLY don't think you should replace it, especially if you allow eating outside the kitchen, but even if you don't, kids are just plain hard on carpet. They ruin it with their art supplies, running in and out, spitting up, and in all kinds of other ways you probably can't imagine until it happens. Personally, I would clean it, maybe even invest in a steam cleaner, and keep it for as long as you can stand it. As far as having a young baby on the carpet itself, I don't think that's a good idea if it's new or old. Even when carpet looks clean it's usually not. If you could see underneath it, you'd be shocked at how much dirt, etc. is under there. Our pediatrician actually suggested we take up ours due to my son's asthma. When we took ours up and put down wood and tile his asthma improved, as did his allergies. Plus little ones can pull off fuzz, fibers, debris, etc. and put it in their mouths- and believe me, anything that within their reach that can fit in their mouths will end up there at some point! ;) You could use a blanket or what I did for my twins (they're 7 months now) might work for you. I bought interlocking foam tiles- not the kind w/ letters because babies will take them out and chew on them and because they stretch and start to come out easily and then you'll have to keep putting them back. Later when they're a little more mobile you can get a play yard if you want. I like my play yard because it keeps the babies from getting into things they shouldn't and because I know the area the boys in is always clean since nobody walks on it. The foam tiles are easily sanitized w/ 409 and a rag or a steam mop if you have one. I agree w/ the poster that said if you teach them to eat only in the kitchen you'll save yourself lots of headache in the long run by the way. And one more idea: Have you considered a tile that isn't slick? A slightly textured tile work for your dog and they're just as easy to clean. Congrats again on your upcoming addition....See More
