In Feburary, we were working on a project that required rendered objects instead of photos.

Unlike regular thieves, I don't fence the goods on the black market because the leaves are more valuable to me and to my garden. Leaves are a great ingredient for making compost and gardeners can't get enough of them. A person becomes a leaf thief because you can only produce so much yard waste on your own. You rake up your leave...

Like our fingernails, dog's nails need to be trimmed. Some groomers and veterinarians recommend trimming at least once a month to avoid getting long nails that can cause your dog to have problems walking or lead to toe injuries during play in the yard. Long nails can get caught in carpet and injure a dog when he pulls to free himself. The dog's nails should just clear the floor when standing on a solid surface floor such as tile or linoleum. A good test is that you can slide a piece of paper under the nails when the dog is standing on a hard floor. If the nails block the paper slipping un...
