Response to postcard mailing

It's January 15, 2009, and I have three prospects from my postcard mailings. I'm hoping that something comes from that. I've renewed my free classified ads again, and hope that will also bring people to my website. I continue to go through my course materials for becoming a certified media placement specialist through Mary Gersten's Cash Flow Network, and am absorbing lots of information and helpful tips on how to expand my advertising base. This is essential for internet home-based businesses, and I'm very optimistic that things will continue to pick up.

As for my recent pet care tips, I'm trying to find a way to keep my cat - TC- from drinking out of the humidifier when I take the canister off to fill with fresh water. I try and distract him with a toy, or a special brushing/combing session. My baby boy also wants me to stand over him and pet him by his food dish, while he eats. Does he have me trained, or what? Both TC and Sweetie want to go out on the deck, but with the frigid weather and the snow cover, they generally just stand at the door, with their heads out for a few seconds and then decide it is best to not venture out. On the radio the other day, I heard that if you put vaseline on the dog's or cat's paw pads, that that will help insulate from the snow, and also help keep any salt from between their toes. I don't know if it actually works, but it makes sense, and is easier than trying to put "booties" on them before they go outside. I don't let my cats outside, except for the deck in the nice weather, but I do know that dogs need to go out for walks and to take care of their needs. If the vaseline works, please let me know.
