Just wanted to stop in to let everyone know Angel is doing fine and enjoying life. I still worry about her, but we have adapted to our "New Normal". She still sleeps in her crate on the bed between the Hubster and I, for lack of any other solution we can come up with. (I'm afraid to let her out for fear she'll hear something, and go bouncing off the bed before I can get to her.) So until I can figure something else out, she still sleeps in the crate. I do miss her warm little body snuggling up to mine though. She is the one that burrows under the covers and snuggles up aganist me. I do miss that. Our house and our Camp look like Doxies OWN then and we are just visitors, RAMPS everywhere, but that's ok, They mean the world to us, and we do what we have to right?

So glad Angel is enjoying life and doing well. Adorable photo of her and her half sister. Understand what you mean about your house and camp looking like your Doxies own them. You must of gotten them ramp trained, congrats!!! Daphne loves her carrier and so she still sleeps in it happily every night. I sometimes nap with her on the porch swing (it lies flat like a bed too) or in our motor home during the day. I tried to let her sleep on/in the bed with us when we first got her, but I was afraid I would roll over on her and I didn't sleep very well so she sleeps in the carrier. If I pick it up and move it she always wants to follow, like where are you taking my bed? Hugs and kisses to your girls. Take care and keep us posted.

Hi Everyone, I found this on FB, not sure if it works, I haven't tried it, if anyone else does. PLEASE share:
Tick Repellent
Ticks can be troublesome outdoor pests, as they feed off the blood of mammals, and can carry and transfer bacteria and disease such as Lyme disease. Some retail products are designed to repel ticks, but these are many times high-priced items and no more effective than a simple homemade solution.
Repellent for Pets
For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent). To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, which will all repel ticks and fleas while also creating a scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day. When pets are outdoors generally to use the restroom only, spray the solution onto the animal's coat once per day.
A simple homemade repellent can be made with a few inexpensive household ingredients. In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil or bath oil. Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks. After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine the skin and hair when returning home to make sure no ticks are on the body.
