LOL, I know I have been slacking... I seem to have found myself in the midsts of a start up company. It's called Pet Diffuser Pendants. It is about aromatherapy for animals, and because of Charlie, this is how it began.....
Charlie was a back yard Craigs list puppy that I drove 7 hrs each way to get.
Born at the end of March 2013, Charlie spent his whole young life in a back yard, weighed only 12 lbs at the age of 12 weeks old. A typical Weimaraner puppy at that age should have been closer to 20 lbs. When I asked to see Charlie mom, it was a horrific site. Charlie mom was extremely underweight, every aspect of her skeletal system was visible, every single aspect, ( I did call the Toledo ASPCA, but that is another story, they pretty much did nothing ) Then I found out the owners were feeding all the pup's, mom included one of those off, no name brands of dog food that costs 5.99 for a 50 lbs bag, pure crap food. After seeing Charlies mom, I pretty much grabbed Charlie and ran to my SUV to get him away from that hell hole of a home. Charlie had many sores on his body and they were from flies biting him. So in a sense I did not buy a puppy, I rescued one.
For the first week in our home I never saw Charlie wag that little stubby tail. Charlie had never been on the inside of a home before, strange noises like sounds from a TV scared him to death. Charlie was extremely food aggressive, and still is to a degree. Charlie was a bit overwhelmed with our other 5 dogs, 3 Whippets and 2 Italians Greyhounds. However the 3 Whippets wanted little to do with having a new puppy in the home, except our oldest male Whippet Chance. Charlie would always play with Chance, but as time went on Charlie really started forcing the play with Chance and Charlie the Weimi pup had NO OFF Button. I would separated them to give Chance the Whippet a break. I could always hear it in Chance's voice, his whining playful high pitch would start getting louder as they were playing. That was my signal, " hey dad, get this puppy Charlie away from me now, he won't leave me alone " Charlie at this point was a big puppy, larger than Chance.
Well one day a few month back it happened. I got to the room they were in just a few seconds too late, and the fight broke out. Chance the Whippet, who is my #1 Buddy, my Heart, had a puncture wound on the top of his neck and another on his rib cage. I use to work ER as a Tech, so I have the working knowledge of deciding if something is warranted on needing to see a Vet. I have a little Mini ER right here at home.
Long story short. That is when I came across Young Living Essential Oils, aromatherapy oils and a Diffuser for Charlie, with Peace & Calming used in it. Well the change was immediate. Charlie would normally try to get Chance to play with him at least 6 times a day, now I have seen this forced type of play happen maybe 3 times in the first month, and now into the second month, I don't see Charlie pushing Chances buttons anymore, not at all.
The playing between Chance and Charlie was fun for Chance, until Charlie became bigger than him. Without the Diffuser I could have used Peace & Calming directly on Charlie, but the aroma would not last as long being exposed to so much space and volume of air, plus I think the aroma would have been a bit overwhelming for a dogs great sense of smell.
The Diffuser allows the aroma to come out in a much more controlled space and last for quite some time. I reload Charlie Diffuser about once every 5 day's or so, just 2 drops to it's Cotton wick. Charlie our Weimaraner was well on his way to wanting to become the Alpha of our home, but the problem is, we already have 2 Alpha dogs. Jayda and Little Max both age 7, both Italian Greyhound, both about 15 lbs, but don't tell Little Max that. Max suffers from BDS, " Big Dog Syndrome " Max thinks he is a 150 Mastiff, and that is No Joke .. HA ! ....... and Jayda our female Italian, she is the ultimate Ruler of the home, hands down, and Charlie has always' respected that.
Now in all honesty, the thought of re-homing our Weimi Charlie had crossed my mind several times, as I could not allow Charlie to throw fear and panic into our already extremely well established pack of 5 others, all adult dog's because of Charlie's strong male dominant traits that were coming out of him.
Charlie was neutered at the age of 1 yr old, so that's about 4 month ago, and that procedure, so far, has not taken 1 drop of gas out of his tank. Because of Charlie strong male dominant traits, this year we have not gone back to the doggie park. Charlie normally goes whither all the way up on his back when he sees another dog he does not know. Maybe I am now a part of that problem and Charlie scenes my fear of a possible fight, and feed off of my negative energy ? Charlie is work in progress, and for the most part is an extremely intelligent Weimi, as the breed is so very well know for. Charlie is totally focused on me which is fantastic for training purposes. Charlie is work in progress, and I pray we will get threw these bumps in the road as time goes on.
The creator of this product just does this for a hobby, works a full time job as a CNC machinist for the same company for almost 30 yrs, but now he see just how this is really taking off. I have had vendors ( retail businesses ) from Australia, S Africa, New Zealand showing interest in selling this product. Right now I am only selling at the retail level. Many business owners around the US have asked me if I Drop Ship, not yet. No Web site yet as we are not prepared to have hundreds of orders com in a week. So I am just selling threw contacting me threw Petdiffusers@yahoo.com.
I just started getting interest in people wanting to buy the Pet Diffuesr for their local shelters, as these aromatherapy oils really do work on anxiety and overall stress. A woman yesterday told me she has been using Peace & Calming on her horses for years.

Color choices are: Blue, Green, Purple, Pink and now added is White. These colors are the main base of the color of each Pet Diffuser Pendant. Each and every Pet Diffuser Pendant looks like the grains in wood, they all have a swirl of a different color in them, so no 2 are exactly the same.
Many people have turned to YL for their Aromatherapy Oils for their pets with Great Success in managing fear, anger management or dominance issues with their cats or dogs.
With The Pet Diffuser Pendants, the Aromatherapy stays with your pet 24/7 with the oil you find works the "best" for them. For pets that are scared of being left alone ( Separation Anxiety ), thunderstorms, etc, instead of one needing to use a Room Diffuser, and get the room Diffused quickly because a storm is coming, your pet can have its Pendant always on its collar, always' receiving Aromatherapy 24/7.
Inside The Pet Diffuser Pendants is a Cotton wick. Start slow, 1 maybe 2 drops of YL oil of your choice directly on the wick, then place it in your Pet Diffuser, and fasted securely. Adding more oil to your Diffuser can be done about every 5 days. You don't need to change wicks when adding more oil, but DO change wicks if you are switching to a different type of Young Living Essential Oil.
Because Pet Diffuser Pendants have holes in them to slowly allow your Aromatherapy to your pet, dust and dirt WILL get inside over time. It's simple, if it looks dirty, just place in a new wick. I include 6 wicks with each order. Need more wicks, just let me know. Ordering them online is expensive as far as shipping goes, I order them in bulk, and I can get you more at a much better price, or upon request I can give you a Web site to purchase the Cotton wicks on your own, your choice.
Our 15 month old Weimaraner Charlie has been wearing his Pet Diffuser for 2 months now and I have changed his wick only 3 times. Parts of our fenced in yard has no grass, dry dirt, so that is why his gets dirtier a bit more often.
The Pet Diffuser Pendants are extremely durable, they are not fragile in any way at all. The body is made of Acrylic and all the other parts are metal.
To clean your Pet Diffuser: just take a Q-tip, with a little water and dish soap of your choice to swab out the inside, then just rinse it under your faucet, then shake it to get excess water out, keep it unscrewed to allow your diffuser to dry out completely for 1 hour.
If you decide on a Diffuser, just let me know you size and color choice and I will then email you a Paypal invoice for your purchase.
Our company is brand new, and we only produce 25 or so Diffusers a week. We do not have a Web site yet, as we are not prepared to get hundreds of possible orders coming in a week, but we are working on changing our production, then we will created a Web site.
I was going to post a Pic of them, but I forgot how to do that on IHUB.. all these stupid steps you have to go threw... ERrrrrr
So how are you doing Flo ? How is the Kitty ?
