Barbie

  Yes, it's me Somehow I got this problem of hair curling and going into my eyes, I complain all the time but my person thinks I need antibiotics because my eyes tear so much. Then  it gets so bad and crusts up, it hurts if someone touches them.  My person tries to pick them off all the time, and I growl and try to bite their hands.  Can you help? Can you suggest how to heal me?  I wasn't born with this problem, one day it came and I'm stuck with it.  In the photos above, my person is giving me a bath and is scrubbing the goobers off. Ouch!!! He got the goobers off, but my fur is stained. Does anyone know what to do to remove it from my fur?  I'm not a raccoon or a party colored poodle. I'm Barbie.

 Hello Everyone, Thank you for coming to the blog, Barbie lost many friends during the past 20 months of the outbreak of Covid-19. We wish all those friends were still here, but may they rest in peace. Barbie meets new friends and enjoys, their company

A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.  Jim Morrison. Barbie was trained to detect low blood sugar levels.  Barbie has outstanding traits for knowing when people have extreme feelings, high anxiety, depression, feelings of loss, PTSD, feelings of emptiness and the list goes on. Can dogs really feel it all? Dogs can feel, too. They can feel when something is wrong, or when they need to jump in for a cuddle. Yet, when it comes to us reacting to their emotions, things get complicated. Why? Well, for starters, dogs have their own way of expressing emotion, and sometimes it’s not only ignored but mistaken for misbehaving. New owners tend to mistake it for anxiety symptoms, or simply lack training, but believe us when we say that certain behavior patterns ...

“Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.” – Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go Today we have a really beautiful meditation that is meant to help you let go of the stress and tension from your body, leaving you feeling, calm, peaceful and deeply relaxed. Before you begin, remember to first, find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for the next 9 minutes. Second, find a comfortable position to sit – it can be in a chair, crossed legged or on your knees, or lay down and when you’re ready, press play. https://www.purposefairy.com/73712/letting-go-of-stress-and-tension-guided-meditation/ https://www.purposefairy.com/

Positivity And Performance Keeping a positive attitude isn’t just good for your health. Martin Seligman has also studied the connection between positivity and performance. In one study in particular, he measured the degree to which insurance salespeople were optimistic or pessimistic in their work. Optimistic salespeople sold 37% more policies than pessimists, who were twice as likely to leave the company during their first year of employment. Seligman has studied positivity more than anyone, and he believes in the ability to turn pessimistic thoughts and tendencies around with simple effort and know-how. But Seligman doesn’t just believe this. His research shows that people can transform a tendency toward pessimistic thinking into positive thinking through simple techniques that create lasting changes in behavior long after they are discovered. Here are three things that I’ll be doing this year to stay positive. 1. Separate Fact From Fiction The first step in learning to f...

Sometimes you really need that little treat at the end of a long day. https://www.sheknows.com Berry frozen yogurt Homemade The great thing about creating your own homemade ice cream is you get to see exactly what is going into your dessert. Want to cut some calories? Swap in Splenda instead of sugar. Prefer to consume less fat? Choose a lighter cream as your base. Plus, making it yourself means you don’t have to worry about added preservatives or artificial flavoring. You can guarantee all-natural goodness when you opt for making your dessert yourself. Sorbet Avoid the fats and calories of cream-based desserts with sorbet. It’s made with water and fruit flavors rather than dairy, so it won’t destroy your diet. Chapman’s sorbets are a mere 80 calories per serving and come in delicious flavors, such as raspberry and orange. They even offer a “rainbow” option so you can have every flavor you’re in the mood for. You get the cold, smooth feeling of ice cream without undoing all ...

“My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog thinks I am.” This starts with Grooming Barbie... People love to touch Barbie's top knot, or Pom. The people at Jimminy Clippers have been doing a great job for her. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed.

The Secret to Happiness The meaning of life is to live it. The secret to a happy dog is to help her live a fulfilled life. That means she actively participates in it. She plays, goes places, and does things. Basically, the secret to a happy dog is not much different at all from the secret to a happy person. Do dogs have a sense of self-esteem? If you doubt it, just watch a dog who has accomplished a complicated task. See how she holds her head high and struts! Dogs need to have confidence in themselves and their ability to master tasks. Training a dog builds her self-esteem. It makes them feel good to master the perfect Sit and earn your appreciation! Learning tricks is fun for dogs. There are also all sorts of canine sports available that dogs enjoy. Agility, fly ball, ultimate frisbee, and lure coursing are just some of the examples. A dog with a hobby is a fulfilled dog.

They’re Excited to See You Happy dogs greet you at the door, get excited when you wake up, and keep an eye on you when they're playing in the dog park…unless their best canine friends are demanding all their attention, of course.

It's always fun to stop, and enjoy the fresh air outdoors.
