National Dog Day--Zuri

“I founded National Dog Day in 2004 to honor dogs, to give them ‘a day,’ to show our deep appreciation for the historical connection of companionship with one another – for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty, for their work protecting our streets, homes and families as Police K-9’s, Military Working Dogs, Guide Dogs and Therapy Dogs,”  (Colleen Paige)

So in celebration of this day I introduce you to Zuri. I am sure if your a follower you have seen pictures of her throughout my blog. We got her October of 2012. She belonged to our neighbors. They decided to go on a weekend trip and just threw her outside to fend for herself. She kept crossing a busy highway to get to our house so we just kept her for the weekend until they returned. We left a note on their door telling them we had her. They returned and hours passed and they did not come to get her. I sent one of the kids over to let them know and they took her and put her in a kennel she was to big for that was soaked with urine and feces and put that kennel with her in it, in a shed outside. She was crying. One of my other kids talked them into letting us just keep her. She has been a joy to our family and would be lost without her.

This is Zuri! Our husky. We love her to death. Our family would not know what to do without her around.

Pesky Pet Hair

It is no secret that dog hair makes up part of our wardrobe and furniture! 

 We are proud owners of a white Siberian husky and an all white chihuahua and currently at this moment 5 little husky puppies (4 weeks old) 

Dog hair is everywhere! I sweep everyday and swear I find another puppy every time. Today was one of those days where the hair just got on my last nerve and my OCD kicked it. I had to get rid of it off of our furniture. Even if it only lasts a day...

Supplies needed:

1. Rubber Gloves

2. Static Guard

3. A vacuum or lint roller

I had neither of these but I can manage

Here is the couch before

Yuk that white hair is everywhere!!

So here is what you do, spray the static guard on the cushions and let it is sit for maybe a minute. Now you if you have a vacuum you can just vacuum it right up but of course mine died. Put on your rubber gloves and start rubbing your couch down in circles or straight lines just whatever works for you. Now you can vacuum up the hair that you pile up or just grab with the gloves like I did and here is what you come up with.

Yuk huh? Now look at my couch after

How cool is this?? 

This is so easy and fast to do and no dog hair!! Now go get to rubbing down your furniture to have it pet hair free for a couple of hours!!
