Green and Good Wedding Ideas
My Thoughts for a Green and Good Event Green and good wedding ideas are hard for some humans but not for me! I suggest for everyone to always say “what if” and (not to be confused with what sniff) always think outside the box-no matter what. Think nothing is impossible, leashes and rules limit your

Buy From Local Pet Friendly Stores
With our honor a few years ago, as chosen one of the Merchant Success Story’s on IndependantWeStand.org ; I thought I would again pass on just a few of my itty bitty thoughts about buying local that are easy to do. Sometimes we get caught up hurrying and forget. Actually they are simple and
Love A Tree Day-The Decorah Bald Eagles-Gazillion Reason 10 Of Why To Love Trees
For the past 2 spring times I wake up to birds chirping and twigs rustling. At first I thought I was dreaming but I soon realized it was coming from as usual…Lynn’s lightbox*. I found out I was listening to the Decorah Eagle Project in Iowa, the idea of the Raptor Resource Project. In 2007,
New Noah Movie Is Animal Free
Of any movie expected to use a gazillion of my animal friends-it would be Noah. Gathering two of every wild & captive, exotic animal could have started me and my animal actor friends on an animal riot as many could have been swiped from their homes. Like all the Shamu’s 🙁 Well….animation artists instead, created
It’s Valentine’s Day- Flowers And Me!
Ok all you humans, I think it is time to start preparing for the big day. Valentine’s Day is around the corner and if you wait too overly long my appointment book for personal photos & greetings will be filled :), and many flowers will be spoken for already. As you can see I
Poinsettia Poisoning To Dogs-The Myths And Fears
They will poison your pet friends and sicken your children. Poinsettia poisoning to dogs. How many times have you heard this; and how many times I have heard Lynn warned about me sniffing them, I can’t count. How this rumor began, I wonder of maybe some mean rival, but in fact I have read about
Lend Your Voice to New York State Animal Cruelty & Puppy Mill Bills
Today I peeked up to wake Lynn to remind her about the important things she had to do online today. You see, no matter what celebrity or fame I now have, and no matter how many photos, emails, or appearance I make on behalf of the store and our causes…I am still classified as an
Earth Hour 2013 And Me
Yay, it’s Earth Hour this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. If you have been in the pillows and haven’t heard of this well it’s about time you did. It all started 9 years ago in Sydney Australia and now it is a global event every year in over 7000 cities in 152 countries. Seriously. It is
Saving Wolves-Saving My Friends
Here is a quick mini plea from me. It is very sad that my friends out west are in trouble- watch the video from our friends at NRDC-and please…. sign the petition. Believe, Willow -: Watch this
The Last Best Halloween
Halloween has had the history of a rousing night with mischief and scary things; but Willow & I don’t see it like that. The stark contrast colors of orange and black adds to the fairy tale of the day and we love the creativity of Halloween flowers, the costume dressing, and the house decor. The
Cesar Millan Helps Us Dogs Celebrate The Fourth
I just looove Cesar- he understands me. Every morning we watch him, and I think to myself, “he so has a clue” why doesn’t everyone in the world get it? In fact at my whining :), Lynn & I are asking for your thoughts on the designing of another arrangement for our Flowers For A
Flowers From Hawaii
Whew! We sure were busy last week for all the Moms. It seemed as soon as I collapsed on my bed, Lynn was waking me up to go back to the shop. All week, I was of course, the “meeter greeter” so whenever I heard her say “Wiiillllooow…customers” I was on it. 🙂 Except, there
Happy Green Everything
Happy St. Patrick’s Day- From A Green Greyhound It is almost time for my name to go to the temporary of O’Willow! My UK ancestry grants me I think. 🙂 I love St. Patrick’s time because we love green, we live green, and we eat green and…. Lynn makes cabbage with veggie sausages. Yum-I asked
Local Grown Fresh Eucalyptus
Discovering About Eucalyptus As a new, diva florist 4 years ago, I never laid my eyes on anything with a name like eucalyptus; in fact, I had no clue if it meant an animal friend, a yummy treat, or a vet trip. It began one day as there was much commotion by Lynn; she was
Inside The Greyhound Track
A quick update post because Grey2KUSA just sent us this video, it’s a lil sad; but it is how I lived while racing and I really didn’t now any different or what I was missing. 🙂 Do now! Kinda like what you don’t know ….. Anyway, every day I meet our customers and they are
A Little Good & Green Party Idea
Unleash Your Creativity As a “green” greyhound I think differently than most, and one step farther with the view from my world. Every day is an experience for me so I always have the what if-the why not- the maybe. I think nothing is impossible, with no limits to leash your creativity and…your dreams. Great ideas
Willow On The Web
Today I don’t have to go to work-yay! Lynn & I get to stay home, working on our writings and lay like broccoli. This day is about freedom; and it is a very precious thing-believe me I know. I bet you didn’t know that Lynn renamed me Willow because in the Language of Flowers it means ‘freedom’. I really
