  • Adopting An Older Dog: A Few Essential Tips for Making Their Lives Better!

    The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.1 million dogs enter animal shelters across the country every year. These dogs come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds – some get adopted while others may end up being euthanized. Unfortunately, most of these shelters only see senior dogs adopted 25% of the time versus the 60% younger dogs, and puppies that get adopted. Bringing home an older dog can be rewarding, not only for you but for the dog itself. Dogs age differently than humans do. For most of us, we take the number of years since the dog’s birth and multiply it by seven to get their approximate age. There are other types of calculations you can do to figure out your dog’s age, but regardless, each size and breed has its own age in which it is considered a senior. Small breed dogs earn their senior titles when they are about 11 years old, whereas a medium-sized dog will age to senior at around ten years.

    $50 Your Way Giveaway

    Should have been a April Fools Day Post. I just can’t give up the blog. Maybe in a few years. MAYBE. Probably not. Happy December Giveaway little Peanuts. I know this giveaway is late. Truthfully, I wasn’t sure I was even going to do one. However, with a little nudge from a dear friend (Thank you Sarah!) I decided one last giveaway. I think that after 12 years to hang-up the keyboard. I have LOVED writing Peanut Butter and Whine. All MY little Peanuts are amazing and have helped me through some really hard times.  I am truly grateful. I have always felt loved and cared for. Even when I mess up the site with my constant tweaking. Even when I lock everyone out. Even when the site goes down. Which over the last couple months seems more and more. The first of January is when I renew with GoDaddy and well, I just can’t manage the extra moola. So, I will do one more giveaway. I will try my hardest to get on here and update more often during the final couple of weeks. Okay enough of me sitting here crying. Let me try and make you laugh. Soooooooooo…

    Small businesses have a hard time growing when they’ve just started, and a lot of the challenge is making sure your business is watertight. It’s not uncommon for a business to be leaking money when they don’t have the means to do so, but the sooner you get working on your internal problems, the better. No business is perfect, so you should never think that your business has no room for improvement, Focused Energy consultants can give you the insight to grow your business, and drive profitability.

Get your prices right One of the more common ways that businesses lose out on money is from improperly pricing their products and services. Sure, setting your prices lower than your competition is one way to gain the attention of your customers, but if you could be doing just as well with higher prices, think of the amount of money that you’re losing. A lot of research needs to go into how you price things, and you should consider checking out competitors to see what…
