WW : Taco Bell

My boyfriend, daughter and I went to Taco Bell for a quick lunch. I normally do not go to Taco Bell because of all the process food they prepare. It doesn't agree with my body as I get older. My family wanted something quick to eat. As I wanted to save money. Taco Bell won.

The photo of cheesy crunchy griller and crunchy cheesy quesadilla looks like a commercial.

My daughter enjoying a potato griller.

I enjoyed eating my Taco Bell food.

Look at all the lettuce and cheese Taco Bell puts on the taco.

Do you eat at Taco Bell? If so, what is something you order routinely?

National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day 2016

Today is National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day. It is to bring awareness of all the animals in shelters throughout the United States.  Every year, there are an estimated amount of 3 to 4 million animals in shelters looking for a forever home. 

Unfortunately, if a shelter animal can not find a forever home. The unthinkable happens. They will be put to sleep. Shelter animals can put to sleep for a number of reasons. The main reason is overcrowding. The demands for shelter pets do not meet the supply. Sadly, there is not enough space. One must be put to sleep to make room for new shelter animals coming in.

An animal can be held for several days before it is put to sleep. However, if it is an owner surrender. It can be immediately. Black and bully breeds (pit bull, mastiff, rottweiler, etc.) coming in to shelters are a death sentence. As they are hard to adopt. If one comes in with a sniffle, it is automatically put to sleep. In order to prevent an outbreak in the shelter.

Excuses people give when surrendering an animal to an animal shelter : 

1. I'm moving or getting a divorce.

2. The dog is bigger than I anticipated.

3. I don't have time for him.

4. She won't stop chewing on things.

5. I don't want the stress of finding a home.
6. I'm having a baby.

Why should you adopt a shelter pet?

Adopting a pet from a shelter is cheaper than buying from a breeder. As shelter dogs are not only mixed breeds and mutts. I know of a breeder who will surrender a litter if they have to many. Or if all are not bought by a certain age. 

Your adopted pet will be fully vetted before you adopted it. That means the animal will be current on all shots, spayed or neutered to prevent more unwanted litters. Plus, be microchipped. 

I could go on and on about reasons why you should adopt a shelter pet. However, I won't. I will say the main reason why you should adopt from a shelter : You're the animals last hope before death.

WW : Dinner Date At Kissners

Things have been rather busy at my place. Between watching my 22 month grandson and having two roommates in my tiny home. Which already includes two adults and two teens can get pretty hectic.

Yesterday, I went on a dinner date with my boyfriend. As we very much needed some alone time. We had not had a date or any alone time longer than I would have liked.

We went on our dinner date to a local place called 'Kissner's'. As we had not ate there in awhile. Kissner's has been around since before I was born.

The place still has the original bar from back in the good old days. When saloons lined up and down the street of Defiance. Before all the hustle and bustle of modern life.

My boyfriend ordered the 'Carl' burger or was it the 'Carl Jr.' The burger was named after the current owner. It is the biggest burger on the menu. What I like about this place, the owner still works there. He actually brought us our menus' and took our drink orders. before telling us who our waitress would be. Not places do that anymore.

I had to share this photo to show how big the 'Carl Burger' actually is. It is almost as big as my boyfriend's head. 

I ordered the 'Sizzler Boy', which is a sizzler served with mushroom and swiss cheese on a hoagie bun.

I won't ruin the surprise on learning the history of 'Kissner's". If you are ever in the NW Ohio area, looking for a good place to eat. Stop on by "Kissner's".

Wildlife in Your Backyard

I was out doing more work in the yard when my family and I came came across a few of the local wildlife. The past couple of days my boyfriend and I have seemed to noticed more than usual.

My boyfriend seen this big "bullfrog" sitting in a parking spot. He picked it and gave it to a man who was going to put in near the edge of his pond. 

This little fellow was found among the pallets my teenage son had to move in order to mow under. He was moved to a different place in the yard.

It is a "Jefferson Salamander", which spends most of it's life underground.

This little "Grey tree frog" was found while my daughter and I was redoing the small flower bed out in the front yard. She moved one of the centerpieces that use to go to a covered wagon. The grey tree frog was moved to another location.

This "Garden Centipede" was found with the grey tree frog. It scurried away. As soon as we separated the two pieces. Which is a good thing. As they are equipped with venom claws behind their head.

A set of rabbits play out in the front yard every morning. They are "Eastern Cottontails" rabbits. They are commonly found throughout the state I live.

What kind of wildlife do you find in your backyard?

Rascals The Chiahuahua Mix New Out Fit

For my 'Wordless Wednesday' post today I want to share photos of Rascal and his new outfit. I even managed to get a close up. Rascal doesn't look so tiny in his close ups.

Rascal relaxing on mommy's lap.

Front shot of Rascal's new outfit. Plus, his dirty mouth mommy didn't notice til after taking this photo. lol.

Rascal looking in the camera thinking,"Why does mommy keep pointing this thing at me?"

A close up of rascal's shirt. To be able to see the color better. I love this color of blue. rascal does wear it well.

Selfie of Rascal. He sits so well when I take photos.

Last photo of close up of Rascal. Can you tell there is a dog  in the picture under all that fur?

I decided to share in a black and white scale. As we all know how close ups tend to show the worse in photos. No matter what effect I tried. It made his fur look a yellow or a dark brown. Which is not his coloring at all.

One thing I noticed with photos, some look better in black and white.
