High quality ingredients = good fuel for a happy, healthy dog.
It's not rocket science.
Just like humans, it's important to watch our dog's calorie, fat, and carbohydrate intake. And, just like humans, all dogs are not created equal therefore not all dogs require they same caloric intake.

Celebrate #NationalDogDay With Us
Happy National Dog Day! While we think every day is National Dog Day, today calls for extra celebration!
I think National Dog Day gives us pet parents an extra chance to spoil our furkids as we celebrate the unique bond and unconditional love they provide to us each and every day. Penny and I will be starting a new training adventure today (stay tuned), then she, Sophie and Teutul will all get lots of extra treats, playtime and cuddles!
How are you celebrating National Dog Day?
"National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, pure and mixed and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues. National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage." - National Dog Day websiteDid you know that National Dog Day...
- Was founded in 2004 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige
- Is celebrated each year on August 26th - chosen because it's the date that Colleen's family adopted her first dog Sheltie
- Is against BSL and the banning of any dog breeds
- Encourages adoption first

Maxi's Secrets (or what you can learn from a dog) + GIVEAWAY
Animals are amazing, and whether we admit it or not, they truly do teach us a lot about ourselves, other humans, and life... if we're just willing to pay attention.
My dogs have taught me more than I could ever imagine.
I have learned what unconditional love truly means, how to be brave, and that I'm stronger than I think.
I have also learned to take time to relax, not dwell on the little things, that it's okay to be silly, and most importantly, to live in the present.
The lessons, or secrets, are just some of the reasons why I couldn't wait to share Maxi's Secrets, a new middle-grade novel, with you.

Every Dog Shines with Isle of Dogs + GIVEAWAY
Just as proper nutrition is essential for a healthy dog, proper grooming is essential for a happy dog. And everyone wants happy, healthy dogs, right?
I will go out of my way to get the right products in order for my dogs to be both healthy and happy, however when a little convenience comes along, I'll gladly take it. So when I heard about a company making both natural grooming products and nutritionally superior treats, I had to learn more.

Take a Hike With Your Dog and Outward Hound + GIVEAWAY #ChewyInfluencer
I used to get offended when someone said to me, "Go take a hike," but not anymore. I'll gladly take that old idiom as words of advice and get outside instead!
We used to hike a lot, but haven't done much in years. However, a certain little energetic Doberman mix is doing her best to get me back on track. She loves to go for walks and I see some great little hikes in her future once the weather begins to cool off.

Plant Smiles, Grow Laughter, Harvest Love #GardeningWithPets
It's time for another container garden update, or as I'll call it... Grow it Green.
Or more appropriately, try to grow it green anyway. Other than tomatoes, I'm not getting much to harvest just yet. I did snip one of the bell peppers last week and boy was it tasty!

Learn How to Cable Left, Cable Right + #Giveaway + #FreePattern
Cables can take a handknit item from a little blah to ta-dah... yet when you get down to the knitty-gritty, they're still made up of just two kinds of stitches - knit and purl.
Sure, some of these three-dimensional twists and turns are more complicated than others, but with a little practice, they are all accomplishable. And now, thanks to Judith Durant's new book, Cable Left, Cable Right, it's even easier to learn how to get those zig-zagging stitches just right!
