I'm fundraising for Farley Month! The Farley Foundation helps low-income pet owners in Ontario by subsidizing the cost of urgent veterinary care for sick or injured pets. This is a cause that I'm deeply passionate about. With your help, this year’s fundraising will be a SCREAM! Will you make a donation?

Please VOTE for Hazel! Hazel the disabled Saint Bernese dog is a throwback to the 90s' as a limited-edition TY Beanie Baby! Turning 10 this January, she is considered vintage, so it's a fitting costume. Hazel may not be spooky but she is magical!
Easter fact and fun: Hoppy Easter ideas from your favourite Saint Bernese, Hazel!
Hello, I'm Hazel! I saw three rabbits the other night, so I figured it must be Easter. I'm woofing all of you a very Happy Easter! We are spending our second Easter during the Covid-19 pandemic together again, just Hazel and mum. There will be lots of snuggles and Easter treats. I hope you enjoy the long weekend even though Ontario is in lockdown and remember: Lockdowns are tough on everyone but it keeps us safe. I don't mind lockdown because get more time with mum and lots of walks. Want to know what else you can do to have a safe and fun Easter?

Deck the DIY gift ideas: Homemade mason jar lid Christmas tree ornaments
Christmas isn't just a time for giving; it's also a time for crafting! I love mixing the two and making my family homemade Christmas gifts every year. Sometimes I make my own cards, sometimes I bake- I've even made my own candles using teacups found at yard sales and thrift stores. But my favourite Christmas craft is mason jar lid tree ornaments.

Happy Halloween: My favourite past Halloween DIY projects
Happy Halloween everyone! This is my favorite holiday and usually go all out decorating and celebrating. This year will be a little different due to Covid-19, and due to the fact that I don't live in a house anymore, so I can't do my haunted walkway. I'll admit I'm a little sad about that. BUT I will still be watching Hocus Pocus and Trick R' Treat! Since the celebration this year won't be as spooky, here are some ghostly DIY Halloween projects, decor, and crafts I've done in the past. I hope I inspire you! Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Readers beware: 13 spooky children's books to read this Halloween
Fall is my favourite time of year! I absolutely love changing leaves, warm sweaters and most of all Halloween! Halloween is my favourite holiday- mostly because I love scaring people! Growing up I liked to scare people, it was a lot of fun, especially scaring my little sister. I would hide in her closet and jump out when she least expected it. To this day she is still afraid that I might be in there, lurking and waiting for my next scare. What I love even more than scaring people is scary movies, TV shows, and above all scary books. To get in the spirit for this frightful holiday I am sharing this list of 13 scary kids' books to read on Halloween- with quick links to purchase for a great price at Target! Some of them may be too scary for younger children, but most kids will really enjoy these spooky picture books. Read them to your kids right before bed to turn their sweet dreams into nightmares... MUHAHAHAHAHA!

The sky is dark and the clouds are menacing. Children are dressed up as tiny monsters, hungry for sweets as they commence their racketeering door to door. The eerie glow of the jack-o-lanterns ghoulish eyes light the dark streets. Witches cackle in the distance and a blood curdling scream breaks the air right behind you. Trick or Treat!
Halloween is the inspiration behind The Witching Hour. View the Pinterest page- if you dare!
Paws For Reaction pumpkins: Our past Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns A tradition in our home every Halloween is to have 4-6 really awesome, eye-catching Jack-O-Lanterns. We have started to become known for having great carved pumpkins and some trick-or-treaters come back multiple years in a row to see them. This year I wanted to share some of our past Jack-O-Lanterns with you, Paws peeps! Please enjoy our spooky pumpkins!

Christmas: Eco friendly wrapping paper for holiday gifts
Here in Ontario, Canada we have yet to see a real snow
fall which is very unusual for this area. It is so clear that climate change is
impacting our planet in a big way. I am always looking for a way to be more
eco-friendly and try to make green choices in my home. The holiday season
creates a lot of waste so I decided since Ontario is having a green Christmas I
may as well have a green Christmas in my home!
This Christmas I decided not to buy any Christmas wrapping
paper at all. Instead, I used old magazines and comic books that I don’t read
anymore and wrapped gifts with the pages. I taped them together like a mosaic around
all of my holiday gifts. Any gifts that went in bags went in re-used gift bags
I have saved from previous years.
Christmas dog cookies: 7 holiday dog treat recipes
The king of Christmas sweets is defiantly the Christmas
cookie. They come in all shapes, sizes, and flavours- each evoking the holiday
spirit in their own way. Would Santa Claus be able to make it around the world
in one night if it weren't for all of those Christmas cookies fueling him?
Holiday dreams are built on cookies! Why shouldn't your dog be able to join in
on the fun?
Try one of these 7 recipes for Christmas cookies that are
dog friendly. Instead of using the same old dog bone cookie cutter to make these
treats try something more festive. Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter or a
snowflake to make your dog treats. Your dog will love chomping down on a yummy
snowman.
Bake an extra batch to give out to your dog owner friends
and coworkers this holiday season. Homemade dog treats make great Christmas
gifts- just pick up a decorative Christmas box and wrap some cookies in wax
paper to put inside. Finish it off with a bow and a nice gift tag. Not only is
it a personal and thoughtful gift but it is also inexpensive.
Check out these 7
holiday-inspired dog treat recipes and do-it-yourself this Christmas! Don’t
forget to let all cookies cool down before serving them to any pet.
