Good Spring Break and now back to work...BAKING SODA!!!

Uses of baking soda!!!  My puppy is still not potty trained so I use a lot of baking soda, mixed with rosemary scent and dried rosemary to mask the smell.

She got spayed a week ago, but that doesn't seem to slow her down at all!!! She is constantly getting into mischief!

So she got out of her cage while I went to the grocery store and got into my pothos plant and chewed up the leaves. Don't know if she swallowed any. Had to call the vet to see if it's fatal.

She also escaped from the house while I was bringing in the groceries. Again. Since I just had cataract eye surgery, I can't see her as well.

Which makes it really annoying when I step into her "droppings" since I can't see them.

For Baking Soda Dog Deodorant just add 10 drops of rosemary essential oil to 2 cups baking soda, add some dried rosemary leaves and mix. I put some in a shaker and use it to deodorize the rug.
