Using a Retractable leash with Gentle Giant

First of all make sure you really do have a Gentle Giant, and two make sure you have a Gentle Leader which makes walking any strong dog much easier.

This is the only way I would ever use a retractable leash on our Saint Bernard. I have never seen a retractable leash that goes up to her weight and until we received this Cloud9 leash everyone broke on her regular collars, but once we put a gentle leader on her and then the leash we have had nothing but pleasure walking her. This gives her much more room with out putting much strain on myself of my husband.

I have Fibromyalgia and my husband's knee never healed all the way after his accident at work so we have had to change many things in our lives to accommodate our family, including  our furbabies. This leash give Princess a whole 16 feet as opposed to the 6 feet she would have on our regular leash. This makes it so we can stand on the porch on bad days while our Princess does her business. We don't get hurt and she gets a little extra freedom.

You can purchase the Cloud9 retractable leash on Amazon.

The Lost Bible

MarksvilleandMe reviews

The Lost Bible

written by

L. Rosenman

Looking for a religious, romance, adventure story? Then look no further then The Lost Bible by L. Rosenman. I am not a big Romance reader but I don't mind if there is enough adventure in it, and since this included history mixed with fiction it made it that much more enjoyable.

Even though I am a Christian myself I still enjoy lots of different genres of books. I have always been an avid reader and the only thing that has slowed me down over the years has been time with my family, which as always comes over reading.

You can purchase The Lost Bible on Amazon.

Book Description :
"What would you say if you suddenly received a mysterious phone call from someone telling you that there weren’t forty-eight of Gutenberg’s books, but forty-nine?”

Hannah, a green-eyed beauty, finds herself in mid-life with no husband, no work, and no clear direction. Following a promising ad, she joins an enthusiastic professor on a perilous search for a lost copy of the Gutenberg Bible, last seen in the 16th century. To succeed where others failed, they must decipher ancient encrypted texts, enter monasteries and torture cellars - and avoid dangerous criminals who will stop at nothing to lay their hands on this priceless antiquity. But then they are forced to face an even greater challenge... 

This suspenseful romance reveals an ancient love that drowned in blood 500 years ago, yet has endured to this day.

The Magic of Friendship

MarksvilleandMe reviews

The Magic of Friendship

written by

Subhash Kommuru

The Magic of Friendship written by Subhash Kommuru tells of how rumors spread can be way different then what really happened.

In this case the birds were afraid to fly over the jungle because of the stories they were told.

During the story something happens to change everyone's mind.

In life people will say things about others but they don't always have the whole story, and you might be surprised to find out the stories that were told are no where near the truth.

Great book for teaching children to make friends with everyone,  you just never know what kind of relationship you might be missing out on.


You can purchase The Magic of Friendship on Amazon.

What Kommuru has to say about her book.

Looking for a Diverse children's picture book with mesmerizing illustration and indulging story? Get your hands on "The Magic of Friendship", a feel-good thriller which will have kids giggling and engaging from start to finish. Story has Indian theme with a global appeal to it. This title is also available in Hindi language (Anokhi Dosti).

Does a smile or a laugh have trans-formative power? It does in a special place called Tadoba. The Magic of Friendship is a remarkable tale of the trans-formative power of companionship, particularly for someone who is lonely and never really had the gift of laughter. A flock of migrating geese stumble upon Tadoba, the land of the fierce tiger Babbar who does not tolerate anyone in his area. Will Babbar show any mercy? Can he change? Will the geese make it to safety? This is a story about change -- a transformation that comes with the magic of friendship. Personality may not change, but nature can surely change. Guaranteed to get a giggle out of kids, The Magic of Friendship also provides plenty of opportunities for readers to connect with the characters in richly detailed, mesmerizing illustrations. The focus is on friendship and its healing effect while the story is spoken from the viewpoint of a father and son in a multi-generation relationship.
