Ya there’s a few articles, but who cares about the articles anyway…with all due respect…he’s crazy…and I’d never listen to him anyway. Children that young shouldn’t be left unattended for any reason but most definately anywhere near as little as an inch of water …let alone a tubful.

Someone else here said something about taking him in with you to the pediatricians office…that might be a good idea.

In my bathroom, there is a little water damage to the floor in a corner near my Bathtub and this little part of the wall. For a few weeks now, I have been finding little bugs in the section. When you dot a paper with a pen, the dot is what it looks like. What are these bugs? Today, I found 2 in my bathtub and 6 or 7 on the floor. What are these and how can I stop them from coming?

water bugs. nothing you can really do but fix the damage

I’m looking for contractors in the Indianapolis, IN area that do counter top refinishing as well as Bathtub Refinishing. I don’t want someone who will do a bad job though. Does anyone know of anyone…..

idont know about counter top but for bathroom i would call Bath fitters

I bought the kit 2 years ago. I need the refill pads to clean the Bathtub and shower. I cannot find them anywhere. I would hate to have to buy them online and pay the extra shipping. I already checked our local Walmart, Walgreen’s, Price Chopper, and HyVee. They don’t have them. They have the starter kit but not the refill pads. How strange is that?

I am shocked, I have a hard time finding the floor mops (i order those online) But the bathtub/shower mops I can find at Walmart and Target. I am not sure where you live but if they sell these at my Walmart and target you can order them online at their websites. And Walmart has site to store which will allow you to have your products shipped to your nearest Walmart and pick it up and then you don’t pay shipping. Good Luck!

Our Bathtub faucet leaks about a drip per second and my wife swears its costing us 20 bucks per month on our water bill…..is this possible? Does a drip like that really add up to that much water?

Your wife is trying to get you to fix it instead of watching TV … No it is not costing a dime.. If you need to prove a point place a bucket with a known measurement under it.. Time it while filling then divide that time into 672 hours (28 days).Then multiply the volume you collected by this figure.. It is easier to fix the drip than argue with her however I can fill my 25,000L pool for 20 dollars.

Catch-Me-If-You-Can

One of the most popular games dogs play with each other is the game of “catch-me”. They delight in being either the chaser or the chasee. Most dogs are more comfortable in the role of chasee when playing with people. Some trainers caution against play-chasing your dog for fear the dog will learn she can evade you. But most dogs already know you are as slow as a slug.

Before playing this game, you should teach your dog to come when called and you should use distinctive words to signal the beginning and end of the catch-me game. Begin the game with “I’m gonna get you!” and stalk your dog, pouncing at him. Give chase as best you can, but if he leaves you in the dust, either crouch down and wait for him to do a fly-by (when you can pounce at him once again) or turn around and run full blast the opposite way - a sure-fire way to get him headed back in your direction.

Some dogs like to see how close they can pass without hitting you. If you have one of these, stand perfectly still so you don’t run into the dog’s path. A high-speed collision with a dog is very dangerous for both of you. At the end of the game, give a game-over word such as “finished” and call the dog to you using his regular recall command. Give him a treat and take a break.

Bobbing-For-Treats

This game will give your dog the ability to pick up floating or sunken objects from water, plus it’s fun watch with other dogs that join the dog-party! It is basically the canine version of bobbing for apples. Since no self-respecting dog is going to get his muzzle wet for an apple, all you need to do is substitute dog biscuits, hot dog slices or other treats. Experiment to find some that float on top, some that float just below the surface and some that sink.

If you’re having a summer pool party, you can use a child’s wading pool and let each dog splash around after the treats. For more formal affairs you can use a large bowl or pot. There’s a reason you don’t just fill up your Bathtub, though: One sight of it filled with water and all your doggy guests will head for the exit, sure you have a dreaded bath planned!

Fill your pool or bowl with lukewarm water. If you’re using a bowl or pot, change the water between contestants; if you’re using a pool just empty it after the entire contest. Let each dog have a practice bob until he gets one treat. Then start the clock and see how many he can grab in two minutes. Can anyone get them all?

A variation on the theme for ball-crazy dogs is to fill a kiddie pool with tennis balls. See how many balls each dog can pick up and give to his person in one minute. The person is allowed to get in the pool and encourage the dog in any way, and she can take each ball from the dog as soon as the ball is totally out of the water. The person can even help by picking up balls herself - of course, using only her teeth.
