August 18, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Why Is There Work?"

    I've got way too much to do on my day off. How the hell do I get more? Anybody got any ideas?

    Pet info. Great news! If you give your dogs a bath, chances are they'll get so tired afterward, they'll sleep for hours. Give it a try.

August 16, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Cold Water?"

    It's August in New Your. Where's my 90 degree heat? I can't get into the pool unless it's hot out.

    Pet info. Some dogs like to swim, but some just don't have the feet for it. They need a life jacket.

August 13, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Blog Tour Dates"

    Friday's quickly approaching and I'm excited about my first blog tour. What would be even better would be if I knew what that really meant. I'm clueless.

NIK AUGUST ("ALONG TEMPTATION'S EDGE" VIRTUAL TOUR)

8/15 - Coffee, Books & Art (Guest Post)

8/19 - Mythical Books (Guest Post)

8/28 - Ms. Nose In A Book (Review)

8/29 - Hines & Bigham's Literary Trysts (Guest Post)

9/15 - Willow's Author Love (Guest Post)

                  Come along and we can do this together!

    Pet info. I see a lot of dogs. Today I saw a poor tiny Yorkie who had a crushed trachea. The sound he made just to take a breath made me sad. Always remember to be gentle with a dog and their collar. It's easy to crush the delicate piece of cartilage. Use a harness or a collar that isn't solid, yet has separate links. Not a choke chain.

   

 

August 12, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Pools"

    August is my favorite time of year. I like the heat and the sun. Most people come out to the Hamptons to enjoy the beach. I don't need the beach.

    Pools work for me. This is my old pool. I have this one now.

              This is what it looks like with the newer liner.

    Pet info. If you have 2 dogs, chances are they compete against each other. Does one dog eat dinner and all treats before the other? If you feed them separately you'll find they will have a more relaxed feeding time.

August 11, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "TMNT"

    With the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out, I can't help but think about the old movie.

                                   Pork rinds? Pork rinds!

    So, what do you guys like on your pizza? Oh, just the regular stuff... Flies, some stink bugs... It was a joke!

    The Shredder? Uh, maybe all that hardware's for making cole slaw?

    There were so many great quotes...

    Pet info. If you are going to have guests over, it's always a good idea to have something to occupy their time so as not to overwhelm your company. Either a toy or a chew could go far in keeping your pets attention elsewhere.

August 9, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Indie Authors"

    As an author myself, I try to read other indie authors. Now, it does take time away from my own writing, so I limit myself to one book per month. Because of my limit, I'm extremely choosy about WHAT I read. 

    I enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, horror, crime drama, a good who-done-it mystery, (partly because I can NEVER guess who-done-it), and romance/erotica. Let me tell you I've been very lucky to pick ones that have kept me interested. All those indie authors should be proud of their work. I know I am.

    Pet info. I had a dog come in to the store today who was scared out of her wits. She's been coming to the store for 4 years. Only recently has her owner decided to use out self service dog bath once a week. Well, this dog doesn't want anything to do with our store anymore. When making your pet do something it has hesitations about, it's a good idea to make the chore a pleasant one. Do whatever it takes. Now this dog is scared of baths. Poor baby.
