Caring for My Chaos

**I received product in exchange for my 100% honest opinion. All opinions are my own** Now I have never really thought about cat litter. I usually only buy the cheapest cat litter there is. I didn't care if it clumped, was clay, it didn't matter. Just as long as it kept the smell away. Because I don't care how cute your cat is, they stink. Bad. So, I was really interested to try this Fresh Step Triple Action Scented Cat Litter. I had tried to steer away from scented cat litters because I had found the cheap ones made the smell worse. This litter surprised me. Not only did it keep the smell away for the whole week, the scent didn't make the smell worse! It clumps very well. And easy clean up. It came right out of the box without having to beat the box all to hell. Kitty seemed to like it too. I think the smaller granules are easier on the paws. Overall, this was a win. I was happy and Kitty was happy. What more can you ask for? You can buy this on Chewy.com in a pa

We all know what this is. And I hope you clean it every time that you put a load of laundry in your dryer. But did you know that lint gathers at the opening on the outside of your house? And inside your dryer? You would be surprised how much is there. And this is a serious fire hazard. Every month, you should be inspecting the opening on the outside of your house and cleaning it. You can get a lint brush for only a few dollars at any store. I got mine at Ollie's for I think 3$. These are what they look like I have the rounder looking one. The long one is better if you have the kind of lint filter that is inside the drum. Mine is like the one pictured on top of the post. Also, about twice a year you should detach the duct from the back of your dryer and clean that out completely. All of this will also help prolong the life of your dryer! It won't have to work as hard to dry everything. So go clean out those filters and ducts!

** I received product in exchange for my opinion.  All opinions are 100% my own** This month's choice was Tiny Tiger wet cat food! This comes in a 24 pack with three different flavors - tuna, salmon and whitefish. Since my own cat won't eat wet food,  my grandcat was our guinea pig. Bean loved all three flavors! The portion size is perfect. The aroma wasn't too bad.  A little fishy but not overpowering.  I think this brand is perfect for the kitties. It is grain free and has chunks in thick gravy. Your kitty gets the protein he or she needs! If your kitty isn't a weirdo like mine and likes wet food, definitely check out Tiny Tiger!

If you are a follower of the blog, you know that my husband and I have gotten to the point in our lives that we are caregivers for his parents. For a while, it wasn't that big a deal; some cancer dr appts and keeping up with my father in law's care for his Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. But, right before Christmas, everything changed. My father in law had called and told me that his ankles were very swollen, which we had been told to let the dr know immediately if that happened. They instructed us to go to the walk in care clinic who instructed us to go straight to the ER. This started a whirlwind of hospital and doctors. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, this on top of the leukemia and emphysema. He had to have 3 liters of fluid drained from one lung. The first hospital visit, they put him on blood thinners which interacted with his cancer treatment and made his blood pressure drop to 73/37. That ended up in another ER/hospital stay. Now, I am not only keeping u

**I receive product in exchange for my 100% honest review.  All opinions are my own. ** Introducing Canidae Grain Free Pure Heaven snacks! As you can see from the picture, these were a hit.  I chose the bison and butternut squash flavor.  They loved it! I really like the size.  I think it's the perfect size for a treat. Not too big and not too little.  The aroma is pleasing too. I hate when their treats stink.  These are all natural and grain free, which makes me feel even better about giving it to them. You should definitely check these out! They are also available in salmon with sweet potato and duck with chickpea.  Your doggies will thank you!
