Schwans Foods is coming out with a special doggy treat that is an "ice cream" designed for dogs. I think it's a great way to treat your pooch to a cool yummie while still being healthy for them! At about $5 for a box of 4 they're...

taylorpelto Dogs are NOT supposed to eat ice cream, even if some sterile corporate factory made it "special" for dogs.. Refined sugars and dairy products are not natural and are not healthy. I am sure one of these ice cream things won't kill a dog, but unless One wants...

taylorpelto I remember having a postman once who always had some kind of treat with him. Whenever he went to a house with dogs, he personally gave them treats so they would come to recognize him and not bark so much ;)

No one likes getting sick. Unless you are a saint (and a sick saint at that), you would want to stay fit and healthy. I remember the times when I was a kiddie and got sick. Those times sure weren't fun. Visiting doctors and...

taylorpelto Neither!! I much prefer the "sulk under the blankies" option. I don't take medicine. I don't believe in it. Why should I believe that the "medicine" I would be taking would actually "cure" me? It doesn't. Pills temporarially and artifically relieve symptoms in...

Yes, according to a site that I have recently visited, we are 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. Apparently, this is because of the compression of our cartilage. In the day, when we work and all that, our cartilages...

taylorpelto I used to eat meat nearly every day with my family when I was a kid, right about up until I was 19. During that time, I had a problem with constipation, so a good friend suggested that I try 'cleaning up' with enemas If you a squeemish, beware. I took...

taylorpelto Pit bulls are considered dangerous and aggressive because their owners make them so. It seems to me that the majority of Pitt Bull owners are not loving families, but arrogant people who want a dog that can be mean, aggressive, and scary. It is those people...

taylorpelto Children shouldn't be watching television for prolonged periods of time until the age of 6 or so. Their brains aren't developed enough to handle it all! I was reading a very excellent article on how many kids in Japan were actually having SEIZURES because of...

taylorpelto It isn't surprising! small children are NOT supposed to be glued to the tv!! It is amazing that there are some people who have kids with ADD who continue to let their children eat poor diets and watch constant tv and just put their kids on "medications"....

taylorpelto I personally don't believe religion is an important part in a relationship. Iit can be convinient for a couple to at least be along the same lines, so they can have common belief systems and to avoid misunderstandings.

Today my husband spotted a type of ice cream that he thought would interest me, so we got it. It's called "Mayan Chocolate", it's made by Haagen-Dazs, and I'm in love. I'm known for (and often picked on for) putting chile...

taylorpelto No, that is not unusual at all. If someone strikes you as being a pretty person, why is it such a bad thing to say so? I don't think it is a bad thing for men or women to "check the competition out". I think it is natural and I find myself doing it every once...
