My Leo
Many of you know that my dog, Colt, passed away in July. He developed a brain tumor and went downhill very quickly. I was (and still am) heartbroken. Although I wanted a new dog immediately, I wanted to wait for the right dog, so I waited for Colt to “send” one to me. Here he is:
No wonder Colt sent him. He’s just like his brother.
I Don’t Even Know What To Do With Myself
I don’t even know what to do with myself. I have discovered so many awesome dog products this week that I have to share with you!
While I was visiting my parents, I found this store in one of the local malls called Moochie & Co. It is the cutest store EVER! While I was there, I met an awesome Golden Retriever Rescue (check out this month’s featured organization for more information) and I found the best product for those of you who have a bath-phobic dog (like I do.) It is a foaming mousse and you rub it into their fur. Plus, it smells great! I searched all over and wasn’t able to find it from any other place, but you can order it here.
Dry shampoo for dogs
Most of you know how much I love the organization Pets of the Homeless and this week they were featured on Cause Tee. Every two weeks, Cause Tee has an independent artist design a t-shirt representing a non-profit, while donating a portion of the proceeds and raising awareness via social media. You can never have enough tees and I’m excited to see what organizations they design for next! (PS: The current campaign is Cell Phones for Soldiers – providing U.S. soldiers with pre-paid calling cards.)
For all of the things I know about my dog, I will admit that I never though about his astrological sign! Luckily, Zodiac Dog has done that for me! They have products for each sign (I’m totally getting the Aquarius placemat!) Check these charts if you ever wanted to know more about your dog’s personality!
K9 Cakery (who won “Best in Show” at 2012 Global Pet Expo) is the place to shop for any dog bakery or treat supplies. Everything is so cute! Plus, they have dog party supplies! Why not register for a wish list at The Giving Paw and then throw your dog the best party ever on their birthday?!
Have you discovered any exciting new products lately? Let me know!
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day! Thank you to all soldiers, past and present. You are braver than I will ever be.
Woof!
A Monster Lives In My House
My dog has turned into a monster. The reason is because a few weeks ago, Mr. Chewy contacted me and offered us a $50 gift certificate to their online store. Colt and I were so excited! I immediately jumped onto their website (which is super easy to navigate, btw) and ordered a variety of treats for Colt. Some were his tried and true favorites, and some were new brands that I wanted him to try. He is really picky and Mr. Chewy had so many options!
A plethora of doggie treats!
I placed the order on a Friday afternoon and by the next day, I already had the package at my front door! Now, that is service! I have never experienced shipping that was so fast and what’s even better, it’s free if you spend over $49.
Why is that box empty?
Colt is really, really enjoying his treats from Mr. Chewy! He has turned into a very needy monster; constantly hanging out and whining at the pantry hoping to sample another one of his treasures! Mr. Chewy sells much more than dog treats, so make sure you check out their site. I will most definitely be ordering from them again – there are not too many places where I can find all of Colt’s favorites, combined with fantastic customer service. Thank you Mr. Chewy for making my life miserable, but my dog’s life wonderful!!!
Woof!
If You Aren’t Volunteering For An Animal Rescue, You Are Missing Out
I spent most of this past Sunday volunteering at an adoption event for Eleventh Hour Rescue. It was so much fun! If you haven’t been volunteering for a local animal rescue in your area (well, like the headline says) you are missing out.
I do have to say that I had quite the initiation by Charlie. While I was talking to one of the other volunteers, he decided to pee on my leg and on my sparkly TOMS! I love dogs so much that I didn’t care, but let’s just say that Colt wasn’t very happy when I got home – he was convinced I was cheating on him. 
Eleventh Hour Rescue has so many fantastic and loving dogs. It is unimaginable to me how someone could abandon their animal, but at least now they have an opportunity to be placed in a warm and loving home. I want to really encourage everyone to consider adopting an older dog – don’t pass up the opportunity to add your new best friend to your family because they are not a puppy. Take a look at this post from the ASPCA on the benefits of adopting an older dog.
Are you volunteering with an animal rescue? Let me know!

I Am So Excited…
I’ve been a bit of a slacker on the blog (whoops!) but, this week is so exciting! Why? Well, it’s the Super Bowl (no, I don’t really care about the teams playing – although I love football) and I am so excited to see the commercials! It seems as though every commercial is featuring dogs – here are some of my favorites from this year (so far!):
I love that these commercials are featuring dogs and I feel confident that they are being treated well on set. Which one is your favorite?
Woof!
