The bed that ate my dog.

Good morning friends. My mattress is leaving a gap at the headboard just large enough that my poor dog sometimes gets stuck in it. Gizmo likes to sleep right over my head on my pillow usually. Well this has happened twice so far, he would get to burrowing down into the pillow and his hips and back legs get down in the gap. It is not enough to hurt him, but when he realizes he is stuck, he wants to struggle a bit. So mom to the rescue.I think I will see if my hubby will add a board to the lower part of the headboard so the mattress has something to rest against. That should solve the problem.
  I was on Facebook and of course an ad comes on a little after 7 that tells me you can buy the paint I am using at buy one get one free. What? A one day sale and the ad comes on well after I want to drive 25 miles to the store. In the fine print of comments it said you can buy it online and pick up the next day to get the sale price. Maybe I should have but when asking my hubby about it, he did not seem so enthused. So I let it ride. Lowes has a 30 day price match guarantee. But I did not print out the ad as a reference. I am still able to get a 10 dollar rebate on it. So keep your receipts and if you see the same item on sale for a cheaper price, take the ad and the receipt  (within 30 days of purchasing the original purchase) and go to customer service and have it adjusted. But if you live far from town, sometimes it is not worth spending the gas to go unless you need to go to town anyway.
 I saw an interesting video on preserving eggs for the winter. It said to keep them in a solution of slaked lime and water in a crock. They had a 100 percent success rate for 8 months. It was a ratio of one quart water and one ounce slaked lime. You cover the crock to keep it from evaporating. Now this is not the ground  lime we get in the gardening section. This stuff is in the building section where the masonry stuff is. If I ever get my chickens up and running, I may try this.
