DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DOG TO PLAY WITH CHILDREN'S STUFFED TOYS! (Permisson to cross post given on ShowPemL where this was posted today) .....A veterinarian was talking about a case she had this week. The dog ate a child's teddy bear and was very sick. When she opened the dog up to remove what she thought was an intestinal obstruction she fou nd a huge gelatin type mess inside and the dogs intestines were black and the tissue dead. The dog will die no surgery can fix him up there was no living intestine left from stomach to colon. This was not an obstruction. .... so she called the manufacturer of the Teddy Bear on a quest to find out what the gel was and what killed the dog. Turns out the stuffing in children's toys contains ingredients for flame retardants and mite control! It is designed to be come a gel. It is highly toxic. Now you would think a child's toy would be safe because it is for children, but they don't expect a child to eat the stuffing of the toys...hummmm that seems a bit scary too. But we all know dogs demolish stuffed toys. So do not give or buy your dog any children's stuffed animals... some people get them at goodwill etc. The vet will be posting a warning and story and I will send any other facts as needed and as I learn more. Maybe some children's toys do not have this ingredient, but better to be safe then sorry. So meanwhile, make sure all your dog toys are for dogs. Please pass this on... it is a horrible death she described and one that can be avoided.

Sally Beauty Haul
I to my local Sally beauty yesterday looking for the new China Glaze Bohemian luster polishes. Even though they did not have the color I was looking for (Want My Bawdy) I found two lovely colors in the clearance bin which just happened to be be 50% off of the red sticker price. I got a really pretty metallic dark bronze by Orly called "Buried Alive" and a shiny copper by China Glaze called Harvest Moon. I also picked up (the full price) FingerPaints shiny purple "Plum Startled" which is from their Fall line.
From left to right Plum Started, Buried Alive and Harvest Moon
All three colors are beautiful but my favorite is Plum Startled which comes out as a shiny purple with lots of metallic flake.
I am hoping to find Want My Bawdy at a different Sally location on Sunday. I am utterly in love with the current trend of deep, lustrous duo-chrome colors.

Sorry it has been so long...
With so much happening in my market garden in the past month I have had almost no time to update my little ol blog here.
The good - I have had a massive crop of lemon cucumbers and 5 different types of peppers. I have everything from long sweet Italian peppers to tiny (and HOT) habenaros.
The bad - My tomatoes are not doing so well. Between the too cool nights and a nasty case of tomato blight I have not been able to take many to market but the good part is I get to eat (and can) all the ones that remain edible.
The pretty - I have received the new 2012 MASH set of nail stampers and have been changing my nail polish daily to try them all out. Some of the images ROCK and some just suck ass and are not engraved deep enough. I will post pictures when I get a manicure I love. Until then here is a favorite recent manicure I did
The Fun - I have been enjoying my weekly dates with a wonderful Lady and her utterly adorable son. I am pretty sure my nail polish obsession makes her eyes roll but that is fine by me, I won't have to share!
The shopping - CVS has an amazing sale through 7/25 on all Revlon products. You can get 3$ in CVS bucks for each item you purchase and all of their nail polishes are on sale for 4.99. That means you can get their amazing colorstay base and top coats for 1.99$ each after all discounts applied. I am going to hit CVS up as well as Sally Beauty for the new China Glaze Luster Chrome set. The China Glaze is limited addition so pic up one of these amazing colors before they are gone.
The BZZ - I am eagerly awaiting my Unreal Candy from BzzAgent. I cannot wait to try something that is not $$$$ and does not have all those nasty chemicals in it.
