April 21 at 9:42 PMToday my family and I got lots of outdoor sunshine while we painted the north side of our house. I got a little sunburnt (of course) and even painted my dog a little bit (he doesn't mind). Overall today was a beautiful day and we really wanted to paint the house before the rain came tonight- mission accomplished!

April 21 at 8:45 PMI can put up a fence in my yard or get an invisible fence. I can also train my dog to leave other wildlife animals alone. Being a responible pet owner contributes to the well-being of both my pets and the environment by making sure they don't interact in a negative way. By watching my dog I can give my dog the attention he needs while...

April 21 at 8:42 PMI like having house plants. I like house plants because they can pull a room together and they are aesthetically pleasing. I need to get plant food to level up the health of my plants and so they can grow stronger.

April 19 at 8:10 AMI loved going and visiting a couple of new (to me) dog parks this week! Wish we had a little nicer weather, though. It has been a bit chilly to be outside for a long time, and if it is not, I am working!

April 19 at 8:06 AMI took my dog to two dog parks we had never visited. She loved it, and it was nice to do something different. I didn't know there were so many of them around my city.

April 19 at 8:04 AMHelped my mother-in-law scrape paint off her deck and fence, we are going to now spot sand and paint.

April 19 at 7:54 AMWe are currently scraping paint from both decks and a fence. We decided to use the water to help wash them before repainting. I don't think we got enough, and we live in an area with many trees that these sticky things fly off of. The storm was so bad that they blew everywhere and soaked up everything the bucket caught.
