Wishbone's Household Tips Column by Wishbone Salmon

School is back in session.  It's the PERFECT time to spend time with us...the puptriarchs of the family.  Playing with us is NEVER a waste of time but if you overachieving, high expectation perfectionists must make it "quality time" why not teach us a few new things?  We want to learn.   Old or young we all want to learn.  The truth is you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

1.  We don't speak English.  Don't say something to us and expect us to do it.  Show us!  We learn from seeing what you want and then we can link the word with the action.

2.  Treats Matter.  Don't be cheap.  Some of us will perform for those hard crunchy tasteless plain label things you call treats but ALL of us will perform for a tasty chicken or cheese or peanut butter yummy treat.

3.  Reward Immediately.  If you have to finish your text or wait until your nails are dry before you reward us we won't link the reward with the action.  We'll take it, of course, but we won't learn what you are trying to teach us.

Most of all Be Patient.  Be Kind.  Be Our Friend and We'll Be Yours!

Dugan Creek Lumber provides log loads.  If you've ever burned wood you know that buying it by the cord can get costly.  For many it makes more sense to buy a log load, put a little muscle into the chopping and stacking effort, and know that your supply is sufficient to get you through the season.  Sometimes peace of mind really is worth the effort.

Dugan Creek Lumber is located in Caledonia, New York.  The Klemmer family has been serving the area for three generations.  Click on the banner below and visit their website or call them at the number on the banner!!

What is the truth about bread?  White?  Wheat?  Grains?  Whole?  What can we eat?  What should we eat?  We found this very detailed and easy to understand article at foodmatters.com.  They detail the chemicals used in the making of bread.  If you are still faithful to white bread you may want to read this article!  (But then again, what is safe anymore?)
