Life in our Home and Garden [June Update]

<b>While the beginning of June was filled with heat, the second half is off to a rainy start.</b> That's why there haven't been many opportunities to go out and shoot. But that doesn't stop me from taking new images. There is lots to see in the house, and many projects are unfolding, beginning or coming to an end.</div>

The roses in our garden are blooming in full swing and are also displayed inside the house. They have a really intense scent, almost like a perfume.</div>

How to Groom Your Dog

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I actually pride myself on regularly grooming my Maltese dog Beni. From the very beginning I got him used to being brushed and picked at.</b> Regular grooming is very important. It keeps your dog clean, healthy, and manageable (also pretty) :) I took Beni recently to a professional groomer that always cuts his hair and fluffs him up, but there are also many home tips and tricks I use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you are used to regular grooming it really becomes a routine,<b> and remember this has nothing to do with cutesy and fancy pimp-ups, this is hygiene for your dog, just as you brush your hair, clean your ears, brush your teeth, get a hair cut, etc.</b></div>

Maltese dogs tend to have heavily flowing tear ducts, that stain the coat under their eyes red. I got a tip to use boric acid, which is also called acidum boricum and<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b>put a little bit of that boric acid (which looks like water) on a pad and clean stained areas of the coat. And it did really work with Beni. But don't get it in the eyes. Only the coat. This can also be used on other stained aerias like the coat around the mouth that gets discolored from food.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="la"><i><b></b></i></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to veterinarians, about 80% of dogs have periodontal disease. If plaque is continually digested on a larger than normal scale,  it can cause kidney or liver troubles. Try to brush your dog's teeth at least 2 to 3 times a week,  or use an antimicrobial spray if you don't have time or your  dog is particularly resistant to the idea. Beni is 50-50 with me when I clean his teeth. Use only those products made  specifically for dogs so that you don't unintentionally poison your dog.  </div>

A clean ear may contain some wax and shouldn't have any particular smell  to it. Warm any cleaner or medication in a container of body  temperature water (as you would a baby bottle) before you put it in the  ear. Cold is painful in the ear canal. A few drops of warmed rubbing  alcohol will dry water from the ear canal and kill bacteria, yeast and  mites.</div>

They make the experience for the dog a good one, and that is something that has to be checked on since it's very important not to traumatize your dog. Another little guy was on the table, and as they finished him up, Beni was up next.</div>

6 Years in the Life of Beni [Happy Birthday]

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Today is Beni's 6th birthday, and I wanted to share some images of his life with us, so far.</b> He's always there with us, and a constant source of joy. It's interesting how it takes an animal to show us unconditional love. Over the years, the notion that dogs are better then humans, has reared its head more then once. So, for all it's worth, here are some images to bring you joy today.</div>

Beni's Summer Days

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Summer heat is not going anywhere anytime soon in Mostar. Most of our days here are filled with work during the day and staying sheltered in the house in the rest of it. </b>Of course such a lifestyle has an effect on our little furry friend Beni as well. Even he (who usually loves the outside and hanging out in the garden), goes back inside the house when he senses the heat on his head. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, the nights have been wearing us out as well, with the air conditioning running pretty much 24 hours each day. And while the promise of a cool late summer season lingers in the air, we are still left coping with the heat until cooler times arrive.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>click on the images for a bigger view</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9GsQVMi5xsDVgwGJ16T7-yQ3bEH3IIUb2lMuf9fTPpoRs9Fh89uRrOSNuLMVTZCWYoA7s0Hr2bCxvYZ4LHMmthCNU67SWZgm1MxpeR3n0DgZakI37d4c2_51yp6Hg8MPUaPV4mChWtY/s1600/IMG_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9GsQVMi5xsDVgwGJ16T7-yQ3bEH3IIUb2lMuf9fTPpoRs9Fh89uRrOSNuLMVTZCWYoA7s0Hr2bCxvYZ4LHMmthCNU67SWZgm1MxpeR3n0DgZakI37d4c2_51yp6Hg8MPUaPV4mChWtY/s640/IMG_01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir14v7FAYSCh6cwMa5pU6OgklTXbJuzo0X0vh9a-mgnpje-KI3v6uMqk6onGxpDOH5PX-R9uPVLAGSxiuhN-pDsN-sYFvBwusLghyYwhRGrkuBSjssk1fwl5xaI7axcr9v_CcDerdkZ5U/s1600/IMG_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir14v7FAYSCh6cwMa5pU6OgklTXbJuzo0X0vh9a-mgnpje-KI3v6uMqk6onGxpDOH5PX-R9uPVLAGSxiuhN-pDsN-sYFvBwusLghyYwhRGrkuBSjssk1fwl5xaI7axcr9v_CcDerdkZ5U/s640/IMG_02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvEw71c07SyvfJ0dExGD_LJIgS1GrT_ALzmmMW3XD2wAbFicqEmmP7LBhLnCbPqwiGoDy4y6t_02dNkCRWJjNTtqAQHh_Bz3SLrGuW-FNtsDGs_054BTMzA4-fCc96F6-GkghLyU1amMs/s1600/IMG_03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvEw71c07SyvfJ0dExGD_LJIgS1GrT_ALzmmMW3XD2wAbFicqEmmP7LBhLnCbPqwiGoDy4y6t_02dNkCRWJjNTtqAQHh_Bz3SLrGuW-FNtsDGs_054BTMzA4-fCc96F6-GkghLyU1amMs/s640/IMG_03.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Peaking out the windows is essential as potential intruders could march into the garden and into the main house.</b> Watchful as always, Beni will bark as friends and family approach my little house here :) In truth he is very much happy about each visitor.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMV-lOK9opfrWYl7pnr1zICA2_L4J3AP_C9H7Udp82hLq64tkCPWLgrw0O_zNFjNQf9vfhmHq-OIaqs8Bdz1N3xnjvUQDgk-TRN1_wBYQungOJ_4V2MRKddW3HaBQyVK5UBdCDI7fzG44/s1600/IMG_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMV-lOK9opfrWYl7pnr1zICA2_L4J3AP_C9H7Udp82hLq64tkCPWLgrw0O_zNFjNQf9vfhmHq-OIaqs8Bdz1N3xnjvUQDgk-TRN1_wBYQungOJ_4V2MRKddW3HaBQyVK5UBdCDI7fzG44/s640/IMG_04.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The late afternoon provides a small drop in temperature.</b> That's when going out into the garden is most enjoyable.
