No More Fly's


Hey, me and my mom were looking around and we found a website that has all these ingrediants and directions to make your own homemade fly spray for your horses. It says some smell good and some make their coat all shiny. It looks like they work very well so check out the site.

Yours Truly,

Me+Maka

My dog Maka is a Great and beautiful dog. She is sweet, great with little kids and loves getting attention! One day I decided that i could possibly replica's of horse jumps but make them for my dog. Me and my dad made a sketch of what they would look like and then we got the supplies and made them. We finished them in about one hour and we made them around two months ago. We have been practicing so much after school that she can now jump three whole feet!!!!!!!!! I have been practicing to so now i can jump two feet!! When my gramma came to visit she took a video of Maka jumping 2 feet 9 inches here it is. She is such a great dog!!
See Ya, Merrin

Guinea Pig Strength




So you know how I told you about my guinea pig Sugar? Well, here is a cute video of her eating grass!

I think my guinea pig has super strength like the guinea pigs in the movie G Force. The other day while she was outside she somehow lifted an upside flower pot and creep ed underneath! We couldn't find her forever! I was so nervous and thought I would never find her again! But then I lifted the pot and there she was. I was so relieved!

Seeee yaaaaaa,
