After your dog relaxes, wash his head. Never spray water directly in a dog's face. Slightly lift his face so that the water runs down the back of the head. Use your fingers, a washcloth or sponge to move the water around the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Doors

I love looking at front doors.

When I go for walks, it's the front door that I look at first.

Inviting doors are what make the house a home.

Add fresh paint to the door, a few plants and it says, Welcome!

"A small key opens big doors"

~Turkish Proverb~

"Personality has the power to open many doors, but character must keep them open"

~Flora Whittemore~

"Every wall is a door"

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

All doors open to courtesy.

~Thomas Fuller~

Door: What a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of.

~Ogden Nash~

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door."

Doors

by Tricia McGill.

Life is a series of pathways and doorways.
The doorway to life is always open; with welcoming arms she calls you in.

Some doors are large and some are small, but no matter the size they have one thing in common. To let you in to a room or a garden, a new slant on life that's sure to be different.

A door to a church where we go to pray, a door to a heart where we long to stay.

Red doors or brown doors, tin ones or wooden, some with bars and padlocks to form a prison.

I remember a door in a small town in Cornwall with a porch made of wood, surrounded by creepers, so quaint, so welcoming, so olde world charming.

A door to a cottage built long long ago.

Doorways to pubs and doorways to schools;

No matter our age, our gender or colour, we all go through doors on our way to our goals.

We have to enter new doors each fresh day to take us forever onwards;

To open new chapters in life's endless search for avenues of learning.

If you're replacing your old door with a prehung unit, first determine if you need a left- or right-hand door. Stand in the doorway and face outside. If the lockset is on your right, you have a right-hand door.

Look what I got from my Friend!

Today, I received this citronella candle from Judy

over at This Jewel s 4 You.

I mentioned that all the citronella candles that

I have bought are u-g-l-y.

So I hide them behind anything that I can find. All I could use them for is to get rid of the bugs!

Now, I have a decorative candle and it will get rid of the bugs.

Judy makes all kinds of candles. She even posted a tutorial showing how she does it.

You have to have patience and a lot of imagination plus plenty of talent.

Judy has them all. Go see for yourself!

Thank you Judy for being a friend.

(Judy just adopted a dog, another must see!)
