Fruit Flies
At Keeper of The Home I learned how to get rid of fruit flies: pour about a teaspoon of Pine-Sol in all her drains every day until they are gone. Then about once or twice a week after that. Also, she wipes her sink with it. Be sure not to run any water for about an hour after pouring it down the drains. Pine-Sol is also a disinfectant.
New Blog Discovered for Pet Owners
I came across a new blog called Pet Pride for pet owners. What's different about this one is that each week you get to leave a link to a post about your pet through Mr. Linky. A nice way to get a link to your blog and also find posts about others pets.Dog License
I finally got around to getting a dog license for our new doggie, Abby. I found out the Drug Mart nearby has them so got it after work on Monday.UPDATED 7/11/09: She lost the tag in just 5 days along with the contact tag we made for her at PetSmart which she posted about on her blog: I Feel Naked!

You and Gerard have a terrific day and weekend. :)
I'm definitely going to try your fruit fly remedy. I'm still behind the times as far as Facebook goes. I don't have it because I don't understand it yet.
I finally got a Facebook account last month after a friend kept yelling at me to get one. I have had nonstop old friends adding me. I have not heard from some of them for over 20 years.
If I ever have a problem with fruit flies I pour a bit of bleach down the drains before bed. Fruit flies breed in standing water so it stops them from breeding in the P traps overnight.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
