I’ve written before about how picky Delia is about her food. I’m sure she is the pickiest eater on the planet. Each time I think we’ve found a food she likes, she turns the tables on me and stops eating it. Until we found Freshpet. She has been eating Freshpet food consistently for nearly a year, now. So, I was excited when we won a BarkPost contest for Freshpet food! We love BarkPost AND Freshpet, so it was a double {Read More}

August 24, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Allprovide is a new all-natural raw pet food company with a focus on making pets healthier and happier by providing wholesome, real human-grade food for dogs and cats. I’ve been interested in transitioning Delia and Chewy to a raw diet for a while, but the process seemed daunting. Cost, equipment, quality ingredients, safety…these were all concerns. When I was approached to review Allprovide in exchange for food for Delia and Chewy to try, after doing some research on the company {Read More}
Movie Review: Max
June 30, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a screening of the newly released movie Max from Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

Max and Kyle’s brother Justin bond and begin a journey of healing. As I said in my preview post, I usually avoid movies involving animals, but I am so {Read More}

Chewy goes to work with me every day, so he rides int he car a LOT. His safety is my priority, so I had purchased a car seat harness for him when he came to live with us. He chewed through one of the buckles the first week and escaped multiple times, no matter how I adjusted the straps, earning the nickname “Chewdini.” When Kurgo offered their Tru-Fit Smart Harness to review, I was happy to accept. I was provided {Read More}

Last summer, when the heat was in the 100’s, Delia became a fan of The Honest Kitchen’s Ice Pups. Ice Pups are grain free treats for dogs and cats that can be mixed with water to create a broth that can be served frozen or as Steamy Pups served as a warm broth. During the frigid winter months, we relied on Steamy Pups to warm Delia up after a romp in the snow. First, we mixed the Ice Pups/Steamy Pups {Read More}
