Green Dogs

Michael gave me a DOG book for Mother's Day with a note that said: Pick one!
So, I picked an Anatolian Shepherd & he said: No...too aggressive.
I picked a German Shepherd and he said: No... way too aggressive.
I picked a Bulldog and he said: No... too ugly and they slobber.
I threw in a Chihuahua just to test him and he said: No... too little and they're yappy.
So, I said: Michael, what kind of dog do you think I should I pick?

Dreaming of a Green Christmas

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:56:09 +0100

We switched to LED lights for our holiday tree last year.

Real or fake tree? We go real to support the local economy.

This year, we're recycling our year-round grapevine wreath and are using solar powered spotlights. We also bought live plants from a local garden center that we'll replant after the holidays. We're "wrapping" gifts with reusable shopping bags from PUBLIX.

We're going green gradually - eco baby steps are better than none, rightRead More...
