Treat Your Pet to a Spa Day at #PetSmartGrooming
This post is sponsored by PetSmart and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about PetSmart Grooming Salons, but Heartprints Pets only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. PetSmart is not responsible for the content of this article. Finding a dog groomer you trust can be hard. When we moved away from Delia’s groomer I was worried about finding another she would feel as comfortable with, and who I would feel confident in taking care of my girl. A friend recommended PetSmart®. After visiting our local store and asking a few questions, I decided to give it a try.…

Chewy Caught the Ball!
We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and do what Delia loves best….fetch! Except today, Chewy was determined to get the ball before Delia… …and he’s off! He caught the ball!! He usually can’t keep up with her, but this time, they ran together! He decided to take it to the deck and chew on it for a bit. Delia: “You gonna let go of that ball, Chewy?” Chewy: “No, I think I’m gonna keep it.”

BlogPaws Nashville 2015 Recap
A few weeks ago we attended the 2015 BlogPaws conference in Nashville, TN. This was my second BlogPaws conference, but Delia and Chewy’s first. Flat Delia went to the 2013 conference, but it was much more fun with the real Delia! This trip was Delia’s and Chewy’s first long road trip and hotel stay. They did great! They mastered the elevators and knew how to find our room by the first night. Our room had a balcony and they enjoyed watching all of the other pets and bloggers arrive. I had originally planned on taking Delia to the educational sessions with me, but she was a little too excited by…

Delia’s Paw Print Tattoo
I finally did it! Getting a tattoo of Delia’s paw print has been a goal of mine since she joined our family. A few weeks ago a friend and I went to Self Inflicted Studio in St. Louis and the amazing Zack “Panda” Donahue imprinted my baby girl’s paw onto my wrist. He took the photocopy of Delia’s paw print and duplicated it amazingly. I got her print by placing her paw on an ink pad (I only had pink ink handy), then placing her inked paw on a piece of paper. I was shocked when I saw the print. Her metacarpal pad left an almost perfect heart shape. I knew THAT…

D is for Delia
is for…. Delia is my five year old Bichon Frise. She is a beautiful, funny, free-spirited little girl and I love her to bits. Let me share a few of my favorite qualities of hers: She’s an excellent rover reporter… She tolerates my shenanigans…costumes, lavender hair, dresses… She is a thorough and honest reviewer… She adores her Nannie (my Mom)… She is becoming a good big sister to her new brother, Chewy… She is my best friend and one of my greatest blessings.

52 Snapshots of Life Week 3: Joyful
This is week three of the 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge hosted by The Lazy Pitbull. This week’s theme is Joyful and Delia’s play was indeed joyful. Not only for her, but I can’t help but feel joyful watching her play so happily. For the first time in weeks, the weather was warm enough for Delia to play outside this past weekend.

52 Snapshots of Life Week 2: MUSIC
This week’s theme for the 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge is: Music. Dancey Delia Delia and I have the same taste in music. I discovered this shortly after I adopted her. As we were driving home from work I noticed her “dancing” in the back seat. When she gets excited she moves her front feet up and down, then stands on her back legs and wiggles her bottom, which looks like she’s dancing. She’ll do this for treats, her ball, and some music. Heavy metal, punk, hard rock music plays…she dances. I thought at first that maybe it was too much stimulation and it was more of…
