Seriously, does life have to go so fast?

I apologize for taking a blog break! I had to get so much done & have had some health problem's.

An update on brushing our dog's teeth:

Well, I haven't tried again, but today is the day. They also get there bath's today! I plan to take pictures & a video for you all.

My dog Alexis, (pictured below), is at least a month pregnant! So, do you think I should skip brushing her teeth!? Let me know your opinion!

On another note...I really need at least 25 "follower's"! I need that many, so that I can give away free product's!

Living in such a fast and careless world. (or so it seems)! Seriously, does life have to go so fast? Love In Christ, Kristie

~~Scripture~~

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:5-10, 12-17 NIV)

Can't the dog just stay still

Yesterday, my daughter and I, went on an adventure! Here is the story:

We brushed the teeth of our 3 inside dog's. (for the first time- ever). Two of them have terrible breath- Always!! So, we got those two first! You would have thought they were having seizure's, the way they moved around.

They were basically having "terrible two's" fit's! There was leg kicking, head butting, shake your booty, arm throwing, mouth closing, dance around, & movement's beyond my knowledge of wording.

WOW!! Amazingly, my daughter and I just kept doing all we could to brush their teeth. And at last, we can say that we finally got at least some of their teeth brushed.

Persistence! That is what it takes on (pretty much) everything. From brushing teeth to getting through to your teen's or toddler's.

So, if you are trying to train your child (or dog!) or maybe a teen, just keep at it. In time you will find that your persistence in the matter paid off!

My daughter, who is now 13, knows this. I'm sure your 4 year old knows this. You know how they keep asking the same question? (over and over and over)... Well, they know eventually they will get an answer. And most likely, you will give in to their want's. Why? Maybe it's because you are weary of them asking about something over and over again.

My thinking is this- you the parent, should do as they do; be persistent and don't give up.
Hopefully, after us being persistent in brushing our dog's teeth, it will pay off! They, hopefully, will learn it's just part of life now; It's part of the routine. I will be sure to let you know after trying a few weeks. ;) God Bless your day! -Kristie
