    I haven’t had problems with Ecto yet (knock on wood) but what happened to yours? I’m curious just in case mine freaks out and makes ME freak out :)

    So glad you’re back!!

      Haha,that’s hilarious about Penny and her yogurt. What a cutie!

      You definitely have me craving rice cakes! I love those things!

          yay for Ecto! I love that Penny needs to supply “nasal relief”–that cracked me up :)

          yum to that salsa. I love cooked salsa that’s chunky with fresh/raw stuff,too. So good!

              I tried using ecto,because I was hearing such good things about it. However,I wasn’t able to upload pictures to my blog using it. So,I gave up.

              Never heard of the yogurt trick for dogs. Might have to try it out on my pup.

                Yogurt does help with digestive “issues”in people and pets! Oh my I must try that salsa…

                  Don’t hate me,but my dog never farts. He does burp though. The only downside to this is that we can’t blame any suspicious smells on him.

                  I use Mars Edit. I’m not sure why. The only problem that I have with it is that it doesn’t have an drag and drop type thing for the features. I think I read some article comparing it and Ecto and then bought the other.

                    I am sooooooo happy to hear that you love the Cin. Raisin Muffins. They are so hearty and sweet and delicious! I actually need to get more because my supply is depressingly low. :(

                    I love that you give Penny a little yogurt. Sammy is Obsessed with yogurt! Really,I have never seen him lick a bowl as clean as he does with yogurt.

                    Glad to see you back to blogging. Missed you!

                      Interesting,yogurt to cure “Squeaky Tail”
                      I might have to look into that for my furry friend.

                        I love rice cakes too. That salsa you made looks really good. Is it really spicy with 3 jalapeƱos? I like spice but I know there are people in my family that don’t.

                                You always make me want to drive to Washington and hit up TJ’s to stock up on delicious treats. Then I remember I have no job and can’t justify it. Damnit!
