bethyboo I will never keep my dog or cats in a cage. I believe it is cruel to the animal. I know I wouldn't want to be kept in a small area for a long time. I hate to see dogs that are chained up or in a very small fenced area. I believe pets are much happier being...

New Year's Day--What Did You Do?

Kareng @kareng (61963) • United States 2 Jan 09

bethyboo New Years Day was a nice day overall but was nothing exciting. My husband and son watched a parade on TV while I made a special lunch. We spent the afternoon just relaxing around the house and spending time together.

There is nothing like summer peaches in the winter

sweetdesign @sweetdesign (5142) • United States 4 Jan 09

I am sitting here enjoying some wonderful sliced peaches over ice cream, not canned peaches from the store either. These are the peaches we sliced and froze this summer. Summer peaches in the winter are the best! Do you can or...

Do you let your dog sleep on your bed?

schwing_girl89 @schwing_girl89 (278) • United States 5 Jan 09

I have often seen movies, shows, or cartoons that depict a dog sleeping with them on their bed. The only time I have ever done this was when my chihuahua was a puppy. He simply would not stop whimpering, and I knew that he needed...

bethyboo My puppy would sleep in the bed with us when he first got home so he could get use to the house and us but now he sleeps in his own pet bed. I didn't mind if he was sleeping at the end of the bed but he would try and sleep up on the pillows next to my head....

Rachel1919 @Rachel1919 (81) • United States 4 Jan 09

Are You a Phone Person?

carolbee @carolbee (16230) • United States 4 Jan 09

Do you like to use either your cell phone or landline phone? I am not a phone person so will avoid making calls as much as possible. I only use my cell if it rings when I am not home and will answer the home phone when it rings. I...

bethyboo I am definitely not a phone person. I would much rather email or talk to someone in person. If there is an important call that needs to be made, my husband usually makes it. I agree with you on the short and sweet conversations.

Good games for babies

VF1Jtrainer @VF1Jtrainer (54) • United States 2 Jan 09

I'm worried that I don't spend enough "active" time with my boys. They are 13 months, so they are cute and fun, but ... I just don't know what to do with them. I'm used doing things that are still a little beyond them, like...

bethyboo My son loves playing Pat-a-cake. It is so cute when he is clapping his little hands. He also loves playing ball. He will try to roll the ball back and forth to me. Sometimes it is hard to find the right games to play with little ones but I hope this helps.
