Throughout the year I have to deal with pet hair daily, however nothing compares to the amount of hair I clean in the summer. Brooms push it all over the place and swifter is more trouble than its worth. I’ve gone through a few vacuums the past year. I like using a vacuum but most are cumbersome and don’t suck hard enough.
Then I found
Eureka 3684F Pet Lover Mighty Mite for only 89 bucks with free shipping at Amazon. The reviews were strong so I figured I’d give it a try. I LOVE this vacuum. It cleans bare floors great and sucks up pet hair as it was made to do. The only thing that sucks about it is the crappy hose. Its cheap and will sometimes twist BUT I’d still buy it over again. I’ll just shop around and find a better hose.
Also if you’re in the Danville area make an appointment with Tina over at Petco by Target. Tell her you’re with Dancing Creek Farm for VIP treatment. Some breeds its best not to shave them but if you have a lab retriever, or most thick long hair breeds then whack it off! If your dog stays outdoors or is in the sun there is rosk of sun burn so be careful. Your dog will feel so much better and you’ll have a little less hair and easier to clean. Petco in Danville also offers 15.00 baths during the week. If you can’t make it because of work set up a pet sitting service call and we’ll take them.
Pros-
- your dog will stink less if they tend to get odors trapped in their long fur
- fleas can be easier to see
- shaving can reduce shedding (although not eliminate it)
- dog will feel cool and comfortable in summer heat, but many will continue to pant if it is hot outside
- it is much easier to clean or groom your dog after shaving, especially if they had long fur
Cons-
- sunburn is more likely
- fleas and mosquitos can reach your dog’s skin more easily
- your dog may look funny with the typical “lion cut” (that means that they shave everything except the head, feet, and tail)
- it can take a while for the fur to grow back depending on the breed
Yesterday, or was it the day before, my mind is still crazy… I had to put down one of my dogs that I had for 14 years. The whole week was like a haze and depressing because knew I had to do it but couldnt. I probably hung on too long but you know how that is.
I paced, I cried,I tossed and turned in my sleep. I adopted him when he was two, a rescue that had been dropped off in a remote area, the Adirondacks, to fend for himself. In a few weeks he learned to kill and hunt. He was a large akita named Bud. The vet call me begging me to take him. They had him a few months and needed to find a home or put him down. I said no. I then tossed and turned all night and finally they got me to come see him. I didnt think it would work with the dogs i already had, he was aggressive, but I also couldnt see him put down. I took him home kept him my garage and slowly brought him into my home.

This year/season we will be growing all kinds of fresh natural produce. We don’t use pesticides and most fertilizers are organic. I do admit that I use miracle Gro a few times. Everything else is organic.
If you are interested in produce during the season please contact us using the form. We are seeking customers interested in weekly or bi-weekly pick-ups. We haven’t worked out all the details, however we are taking this year to figure out a few things and looking for a handful of steady customers that want a great deal and can pick up out at the farm. We are talking to several other farms we may buy farm fresh canned foods from that you can pick up here as well. Please also add your name to our newsletter.
I have a bunch of citrus and tropical fruit trees for sale that I brought up from Florida a few years ago. They are taking up way too much room in the greenhouse so I am looking to sell some. These can all be grown in containers and brought indoors when it gets too cold. I have lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit. I also have mango, avacado and a few other tropicals. Email me using the contact form here and I’ll tell you what I have left. Sorry no shipping. Pick up only.
This fall I’ll have fruit trees such as apples, pears, cherries and more. Please add your name to our newsletter.
