Merry Christmas

From our home to yours...

Merry Christmas

 

Dear Santa, I Can Explain...

Is everyone ready for the big guy's visit? Penny had a little mishap, but she's pretty confident that the big guy likes to share his cookies with cute dogs.

Besides, she knows how to turn on the charm.

Christmas is Coming #WordlessWednesday

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday fun-day!

Mighty Paw Dog Accessories + GIVEAWAY + COUPON

Dog parents always have two things with them: treats and poop bags. Even when we've left the dog at home. I'm always reaching in my pockets and finding treats, or searching for something in the bottom of my bag, only to discover a few random poop bags.

Fellow dog parents, it's time for us to get organized!

Let Them Eat Cake #WordlessWednesday

Just one word for today's Wordless Wednesday... cake.

Football Sunday #BlackAndWhiteSunday

We hope everyone has had a wonderful long weekend with family and friends.  Monday morning will be here before we know it, so do something fun today...

From our home to yours...

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Daddy Revealed - Thanks to Wisdom Panel #ChewyInfluencer

We're always getting stopped by people who ask, "What type of dog is that?" or from the dog savvy folks, "I can see the :::fill in the blank::: but what else is mixed in there?"

When it comes to Penny, it's quite clear that she's part Doberman - although some mistake the coloring for Rottweiler, despite her petite shape. But just what was she mixed with?

National Absurdity Day #BlackAndWhiteSunday

Happy National Absurdity Day. We know it's celebrated on November 20th because the internet told us so, and now you know as well (Penny says you're welcome).

"This day was created as a day to recall and note some of the totally and absolutely absurd things in history, in our country and in our lives."

I don't know about you, but we certainly can't think of anything more absurd in recent history than this past election.

Enjoy your absurd day, and don't miss your chance to enter our current giveaways - TrustyPup Memory Foam Dog Bed and PawZaar Global DOG Bag!

America, It's Over #WordlessWednesday

The 2016 election circus is over... we have no words.

Your Pup will Rest Easy with TrustyPup + GIVEAWAY

When it comes time to rest, there are just a few things we need... peace, quite, and a comfortable spot. Our dogs are no different.

While they do surprise us, falling asleep in some of the oddest positions and places, every dog deserves to have his or her own comfortable bed.

Hay Man, Corn Maze Fun #BlackAndWhiteSunday

Happy first Sunday of November! We're still enjoying all things fall around here, despite the Christmas displays that have been popping up in stores since before Halloween...

Enjoy your Sunday-funday!

Enhance Your Dog's Mobility with Zuke's #ChewyInfluencer

Let's face it... getting old bites, and with age comes aching hips and joints. This is true for us humans, as well as our furbabies.

Fortunately, there are tasty treats on the market to help assist our beloved furry seniors with their aching joints.

Less Tricks, More Treats #Halloween

From our Pumpkin Patch to yours... Happy Halloween!

Seasonal Comfort Food for Your #BestDogEver from Merrick

Who doesn't love fall? After all, it's the start of the comfort food season that will take us right through the holidays.

And comfort food isn't just for humans anymore, thanks to Merrick and their delicious seasonal recipes.

Who's Her Daddy? We're Asking Wisdom Panel #ChewyInfluencer

It's a common question - what type of dog do you have? Or, more often than not, when it comes to the Lapdogs, it's "she looks like she's got some :::fill in the blank::: in her, but what else is she mixed with?"

With mixed breed rescue dogs, it's usually a best guess scenario depending on what they looks like. Pull up Petfinder and you'll be overwhelmed with "lab mixes," yet half of those dogs probably have zero Labrador in them.

Getting Spooky #WordlessWednesday

It's beginning to look a little spooky around here...

 

But don't worry, the ghost didn't scare away Tut's birthday cake last night!

 

Happy 13th Birthday Teutul

It's hard to believe, but guess who just hit the teenage years?
