Happy 2019 - there's a new Lapdog in town!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and that you're settling into 2019 nicely.

If you haven't been following our social channels, you probably haven't met the newest Lapdog, Pandora.

Goodbye, Sweet Baby Boy

While we are not blogging much at all anymore (you'll find us on our social media channels on a regular basis instead), I simply cannot let the passing of our sweet Teutul go by without a proper post. 

Saying goodbye to my sweet baby boy was never in our plans last week, but on Wednesday evening, September 5th, we found ourselves doing just that.

hello August

We can't believe it... but August is here... and that means we're one month closer to our most favorite time of the year, autumn.

In case you missed it (or have missed us), we are doing the majority of our posting on our social media channels. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!!

Find Lapdog Creations on our Social Channels

You may have noticed we haven't been posting much on the blog lately... but don't worry, we haven't gone anywhere!

We have noticed a trend in folks reading blogs less and less these days... and we get it. There are some who are more interested in scrolling through photos or videos - us too, especially those cute doggy pictures (we love Instagram). And, there are those who just prefer to get information quickly and concisely - again, us too.

So... long story short, we have been spending more time on our social media accounts and less time writing long blog posts that you may or may not have the time to read.  We've also been spending a lot of time at nosework and ratting trials, where Penny is racking up the awards like they're going out of style!

In addition to our regular topics and reviews of all things dog (and dog Mom) related, we're also still hosting a lot of amazing giveaways... again, we've just moved them over to our social channels.

So... in order to keep up with Penny's sporting adventures, Sophie's deck lounging, and Teutul's daily grind, make sure you're following us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!!

Happy Easter

Happy 3rd Birthday, Penny!

It's hard to believe, but our little ball of Karma is now 3 years old!

Happy Birthday Penny!

 

At times it seems like just yesterday she was that itty bitty 8.5 pound bundle of energy who landed in our laps (if you don't recall, be sure to click that link)... and at other times, it seems like she's been with us forever.

Red + Hearts + Love + Furry Paws #ChewyInfluencer

Red + Hearts + Love + Furry Paws...

That combination could only mean one thing...

It's time to celebrate Valentine's Day with your dog!

Wellness CORE Simply Shreds #ChewyInfluencer

No one likes eating the same thing over and over again, including our dogs.

Now, that doesn't mean we have to switch their kibble all of the time. After all, many of us have spent months, if not years, finding the perfect kibble for each of our dogs.

So, how can we add variety to their diets without disrupting their digestion? 

 

That's easy... food toppers!

Soggy Doggy Doormat #ChewyInfluencer

If someone said "I need to order some pet food and treats," you might instantly say "check out Chewy!" - right?

Well, what if that someone was looking to order a fun gift for their cat loving cousin, or their dog sitter, or even their crazy dog lady bestie?

You should also tell them to check out Chewy!

Sock Panda Keeps Feet Funky and Gives Back #coupon

It seems like there is a monthly subscription for just about everything these days. They make great gifts - for our family and friends, or even ourselves - whether packed full of essentials, or just stuff designed to makes us smile.

And speaking of smiling... who doesn't laugh a little at funky socks, especially during the dead of winter and the frigid temps we've been experiencing lately!

Cheers to 2018

from our home to yours,
Cheers to a safe & Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

from our home to yours,

we wish you a Merry Christmas!

Maybe Christmas...

"Maybe Christmas," he thought... "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!" ~ How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss

 

Whether you are at home or traveling, spending time with a few or many, we hope you get to enjoy the true spirit of the Christmas season!

Keep Your Pets Safe This Christmas #ASPCA

Can you believe that Christmas is just a few days away? We sure can't!

To help us all keep our pets safe, we've teamed up with the ASPCA to share some reminders.

Share a Pumpkin Spice Latte with Your 4-Legged Best Friend #ChewyInfluencer

A nice warm beverage on a chilly winter day is always comforting...

and now we can share that comfort with our 4-legged best friends!

Travel in Style & Keep Your Interior Clean with a Molly Mutt 3-in-1 Car Seat Cover + GIVEAWAY

I love my dogs, and I love taking them places with me... almost as much as they love going for R-I-D-E's. (except for Sophie... she's our homebody.)

There's nothing quite like the excitement our dogs show when getting to go for that joy ride, whether it's to the park, store, training class, or even the v-e-t. But let's face it, traveling with them can be a dirty job! They leave behind fur, drool, mudd, debris and who knows what else. (homebody Sophie leaves behind drool puddles)

To help keep our vehicle interiors from looking like the inside of a kennel, we use car seat covers. And while most do a pretty good job of keeping our seats clean, many of the ones on the market are ill-fitting, feel like plastic, and look as drab as the inside of those kennels.

There's got to be something more stylish and functional than a wonky 'ole grey or black piece of material, right?

Happy 11th Birthday, Sophie!

It's official, we have a little old lady on our hands...

Happy 11th Birthday, Sophie!

It seems like we were just celebrating her first double-digit birthday yesterday.

Hello December!

It's hard to believe, but December is here...

Don't blink, or it'll be gone before we know it!
