Pet Hair Dryers

Kyleigh April 29, 2013 Leave a comment

Have you ever had to blow dry your dog? And not burn it?

Kyleigh has lots of fur, and a couple of weeks ago I burned out MY hair dryer trying to dry her off.

This started me on my search for a pet hair dryer. Google had about 6 MILLION results for me to choose from. Checked out some of them from the states. Great prices, til I put in my postal code. A $100 purchase went up to $200. Back to Google and narrowed the search to Canada. Got it down to 4 MILLION. Spent a couple of minutes on the first page and found Ren’s Grooming Supplies.

Global Warming and Bon Jovi

Uncategorized February 23, 2013 Leave a comment

I’m not a specialist in what’s happening on our planet, but the phrase Global Warming just doesn’t cut it with me … not after the last three months of living in Ottawa. A friend and I were discussing this and decided that Climate Change would have been a better phrase. Continue reading →

Parking in downtown Ottawa

Uncategorized February 10, 2013 Leave a comment

Along with not taking the bus for many years, parking downtown, during the week day is also something I have not had the pleasure of doing.

Friday I had a doctor’s appointment and decided to take my car into work that day. I was leaving at one, and didn’t want the hassle of the bus …  if you don’t know what hassles I mean, read my previous post, you’ll get my drift! Continue reading →

OC TRANSPO

Uncategorized February 4, 2013 1 Comment

Many many moons ago I used to take OC Transpo to work. It was ok, not my preferred method, but the bus stop was close, only took one bus, and it was certainly cost effective.

I recently started a new contract and am back working downtown (haven’t been downtown in over 6 years).   My initial thought was to find parking … GASP … $250 average to park a car in the downtown core.  REALLY?  And they don’t do valet parking, or wash the car for you either … and no mint on the seat. $250 for 8 hours … I can rent a hotel room for less.  ABSURD!

Grocery Store at the Off Leash Parks

General Pet Peeves January 30, 2013 Leave a comment

Here’s the second reason I hate treat training. I take Kyleigh to off leash parks all the time. Some days, I feel like I’m walking in to a grocery store. The amount of food / treats that people are handing out to their dogs stuns me.

I’ve watched people call their dog 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, and then the dog FINALLY CHOOSES to come to them, and they give it a treat. WHAT?  What are you rewarding the dog for? Because it CHOSE to come back at his discretion / timing? Continue reading →
