Review of Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Biscuits (with Lamb Meal and Carrots)

My dog LOVES these. She has always gone for oven-baked biscuits and the flavor is one of her favorite choices. We put "other" dog treats in a bowl and then this treat in another bowl, and she picked THIS treat! I like that the bones are formulated with probiotics and beneficial microorganisms for digestive health. Instinct dog biscuits are grain and gluten free which make them an ideal option for dogs with grain related allergies.

These are on SALE now at Chewy.com here:  http://www.chewy.com/dog/natures-variety-instinct-grain-free/dp/104742

Disclaimer:  I was supplied with a free bag in exchange for my honest opinion.  My opinion is always my own.

Have you ever won or bought these coach bags?  I haven't.  I guess since I am a beach bum here living at the beach in S. California, I like to take the least things I need with me.  Usually phone in a small vinyl bag I bought and I carry my money in that or a pocket and my car keys.

I would really prefer less leather.... so the L-ZIPwristlet in signature coated canvas Style No. 52455 for $65 would be a nice item to ask my husband to buy me for Christmas!

Good luck everyone!

First day back to REAL LIFE because of my new wheelchair!

Wow, it's so nice to be out at the Ventura Harbor again and eating our favorite seafood at Andria's and John was just happily walking along pushing me on my wheelchair.  I had the dog leash so that Sandie could go with us.   All the people love her and want to pet her.   She just loves the attention!

We came across a Pet Portrait artist and we are having her do some work with Sandie for a Christmas gift from John to me
and then of my mom's dogs for Christmas gifts for her!  This is some of her work,  http://www.mary-jomurphy.com/mary-jos-art.html

"Mary-Jo Murphy’s work is simply fun and catchy, bringing smiles and laughter to animal and art admirers. Her subjects are “man’s best friends” including; dogs, cats and other animals rendered in a range of colors, full of energy and love. Her work expresses the bond between beloved pets and humans. Looking into the eyes of our pets we feel their compassion and joy. Reminiscent of pop art with an iconic appeal, Murphy’s work is composed with fun, solid-color backgrounds and close-ups of the beloved animal’s smiling face. Think Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe, but with funky animals as the star of the show! This exhibit joyfully presents Murphy’s bold work in acrylics, watercolors, and digital ink-resist."
  ...  from her website describing her art.

Ventura Harbor Cove Beach

Year-round we enjoy going to the Ventura Harbor Cove Beach.  We can watch the ships and boats go in and out of the harbor.
I can say that we will definitely be back here in September.  It's very close to the Pumpkin Patch and that's on our yearly calendar!

Jamberry Nail Review

credit: Cat Morley

If I could afford the $15.00 I would get this again.  But I have a nice alternative for $5.00 at AVON.

At first look at the product I thought that they were too thick for my nails.  But surprisingly not, they fit well and I had some for a pedicure as well.

I didn't have any comments from friends because I'm immobile and can't get to visit them.  My husband said that they were very expensive when we can get them at Avon for $5.00 a set (and still have some for a pedicure!)

I'm rating them a 3/5 because of the cost.

Robin Williams and me

As someone who daily battles with DAILY with depression and has attempted suicide a couple of times, I can tell you that there is nothing "SELFISH" about the whole thing. I want to scream every time I see someone say that. We fight our demons daily and no amount of prayer is going to take it away because it is a medical condition. God created us with depression. I'm sorry Christian friends, but I've battled this my whole life and the only person to ever see it me was a medical doctor.

My psychiatrist of 17 years was a real God send. He always has me taper off the one medication if I start to get too hyper. I have several support groups on FaceBook but the real support is my wonderful husband and my incredible dog! I also belong to a Christian group online and get a daily writings from people like me (Chronic Illness, Invisible Illness) that are grounded in the Word. I am amazed at how people in these groups and the ones who write have way many more illnesses, diseases than myself and who endlessly supply support to others.

Over the years here on FaceBook, I have shared things not to get friends to feel sorry for me but to ask for prayer and good thoughts and energies and any words of support. Some have hurt when I hurt and are happy when I'm happy. One of the worst things to say to a person, is "I'll pray for you." Another time I will share again why that is.

We don't know what Robin Williams was struggling with at the time of his depression.  His wife may not even know.  Our issues are complicated and only a PROFESSIONAL DR. and PROFESSIONAL Support should attempt to diagnose or medicate we who have it.   Sometimes going off meds. creates a horrible experience and that is when people make this permanent solution (not to a temporary problem..... sometimes a lifetime problem) and it's very hard to explain to anyone just exactly what sets us off into a major downward spiral or what it will be that stops that spiral and helps us move upward.

So please....  if you have never understood the disease, take today to search online about it.  Ask your friend with depression any questions you may have.
