Rover Rollover

I want to be happily owned by a Bull Terrier. I have been working the Bull Terrier Rescue sites for a dog companion. As I go forward, I will keep you posted on the ups and downs of adoption.

First thing is understanding Adoption. It is a very, very serious matter to take on a life of any type and promise to keep it safe, warm and protected for the rest of its life.

Bottom Line: It means you have to change. You may not think so at first, but having someone, something depending on its survival is a weight, not a burden, but a weight. Make sure you are prepared to pick it up.

Poop To You

Pet waste adds excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus to the environment. These nutrients many create unstable conditions that create habitat for invasive weeds. Responsively get rid of your pet waste. Don’t leave it on the trail/street!

Dog Crates

Done right, crate training helps breed familiarity, trust and a sense of security between your pup and his crate. You should not put dogs in crates that have not been properly crate trained.

Mat Training

Mat Training- A mat, or a defined place for a dog to “go to,” is a versatile and useful behavior to teach a dog. A mat can be a a dog bed, a dog mat, a bath mat, a towel, a blanket, – whatever makes the most sense for the dog and the handler.

Rude Dog Owners

Rude Habits Of Dog Owners. These are some of the things people complain about the most when it comes to dog owners.

Give An Animal A Home

Adopt a pet this holiday season. You can give an animal in need a loving home or consider donating to the ASPCA or other animal charity in a friend’s name.

Training Rover

Training your dog is not an option. It’s an obligation. It’s not something to be done once your dog starts causing problems, it is how to prevent problems from starting. Teach your dog how to be the dog you want them to be, Hopefully, you want your dog to be a friendly, social companion. #roverrollover […]

As the pandemic disrupts global food supply chains, people may have to depend more on locally grown food. Experts expect the number of people suffering through severe food shortages could swell to 265 million people in 2020.
Bissel Gardeners are glad they have been community gardening and raising food for themselves for more than 25 years. We hope when the NYC Pause In Place is lifted more folks will see the need for community gardens and will join us! Chuck the Gardener

GARDEN TIP - When plants are about two feet tall, prune out the foliage from the bottom 12" of larger pepper varieties like bell, cubanelle, and poblano peppers. For smaller varieties such as jalapeno, shishito, and Thai peppers, remove foliage from the lower 6-8" of stems.Aug 11, 2022

Cream-style soups are a favorite for warm, soothing meals on cold winter nights. The addition of a cup or two of cooked beans can stretch canned or homemade soup into a complete, protein-rich meal in just minutes. Stir a can of drained rinsed white beans into tomato soup. Or try pinto beans added to cream of celery soup.
