Christmas Nightmare?

​Merry Christmas Everyone! Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!
 
I had the greatest photo ideas/video ideas for today’s Christmas blog,  however our Christmas did not go as planned.. to say the least!
 
I have been battling the flu, and today it knocked me out so I had no energy to even break out my camera. Chris went to the hospital this morning because of terrible pain. Luckily, he will be all right with loads and loads of medicine. We had to cancel our Christmas plans and ate McDonalds for Christmas Supper. LOLOLOLOLOL and LOL.
 
BUT York and Ro still loved their first Christmas in our home. They had a blast opening up their stockings filled with goodies (see previous post for what was inside). They also enjoyed ripping up the xmas paper and loved the toys Santa Paws brought them. 2 are already destroyed. Mhm, thanks York.
 
Even though this Christmas was sort of a nightmare, I am so glad I got to share it all with my love and my two pups.  Love is all anyone needs Christmas or not.
 
We are sending you all love and holiday cheer. Enjoy this festive time with loved ones and lets make 2017 the best year yet!
 
 
 
 
PS. The blog will resume on January  6th, 2017. We will be on vacation in Utah from tomorrow till then. See you all next year!

SantaPaws Is Coming To Town

12/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Ho, Ho, Ho! Christmas is just two sleeps away!
 
I had so much fun dressing the doggies up with holiday cheer. South Africa celebrates Christmas, but it is nothing near what Christmas is in the states. I couldn’t find much decorations or cute Christmas items, but luckily we found a beautiful tree and stockings.
If we lived in America, I would probably be bankrupt from buying every outfit available at Petsmart and Petco. So maybe it is a good thing! HA!
​
 
I thought it would be a great idea to share with you all what Santa Paws is bringing to our home!
York and Ro are both getting stockings filled with various treats, including Pedigree DentiStix and Hills Salmon Regional Delights.
The stockings are also filled with @outwardhound toys, holiday FireBiterz & holiday Inviciblez to be exact.
 
For under the tree, they have a gift each and one to open together. I am so excited for them to open their wobble ball by PLAY. And each will have a @petqwerks hedgehog to open.
 
I know they are just going to love what SantaPaws brought them and can’t wait to video them opening their gifts up!
Stay tuned for the cutest Christmas Blog!

York & Ro's MUST HAVE items

York with his Hedgehogz

  1. @outwardhound Fun Feeder. Does your dog inhale their food within 1 minute? York and Ro do. But not anymore, thanks to @outwardhound FunFeeder. The Fun Feeder is a bowl specially designed with mazes to help slow down your dogs eating.  Thus, improving digestion.
  2. @outwardhound Pal Pak Harness. SERIOUSLY EVERY DOG NEEDS TO HAVE ONE. One they are adorable. There are many different characters but we have the 3 eyed monster and the monkey.  Two, they have a secret poop bag dispenser and are large enough to put your keys in. Thus eliminating bringing a bag on your walk or hike! Life is so much easier with less baggage, am I right?
  3. @outwardhound Life Jackets. As you may know, bulldogs sink. And with owning two water- loving bulldogs, these life jackets are lifesavers. I have recommended these life jackets over and over again. And will continue to do so.  If your dog can’t swim or needs help swimming, these are the best lifejackets out there. You're welcome, in advance.
  4. @outwardhound toys. Every time we get new @outwardhound toys I want to keep them for myself because they are so stinking cute. But  eventually I give them to the pups. HA! Some of our favorites are the Hedgehogz, Invincibles Snakes and Fire Biterz.

@outwardhound is an amazing company whom produce everyday MUST HAVES.

York the Bully Featured In Published Book

12/20/2016

Last year, we were contacted to write a letter from York's perspective asking for advice from "Dr. Layla," author Sonya Skipworth. The letter was easy for me to write, especially because back then I would write as York on Instagram. The photo I chose was York as an angel.. let me just say its not my best work. HAHA. But it makes the letter so much funnier. York an angel? Who was I trying to kid?


Author Sonya Skipworth inserted our letter into her book and then replied with such humor.
This book is filled with hilarious letters from pups around the world asking for advice and Skipworth's replies are so worth the read.

Check out The Layla Diaries by Sonya Skipworth here:

Dognition Review

12/19/2016

0 Comments

 
I have had the Dognition website bookmarked on my desktop since August of this year. So  I was more than thrilled to collaborate with Dognition earlier this month!
Dognition is a series of tests you perform with your dog that will leave you with a better understanding of your dogs mind. How awesome is that?
 
I started the first assessment with Ro.
I believe it is best to do the tests with someone. Dognition will also advise you to do it with a partner.
So I completed the tests with my husband.
We completed  her assesments over three days. For the assesments, all you need is lots of treats and a few house hold materials. We had fun completing the tests. The tests are explained in great detail and are easy to complete!
 
Well... Surprise! Ro is a Maverick!
She is indepenedent but still bonded to me. Ro is very collaborative and trustworthy.
It was spot on!
Ro is definetly independent, she loves her cuddles but she is more than happy to keep herself company! And she is the sweetest thing, she scored high on empathy levels. And for her to be trustworthy just made my heart skip a beat. From the results, I now have a better understanding of how Ro thinks which will help me when teaching her a new trick. I also know how Ro prefers me to communicate to her. It is simply amazing.

I can not wait to find out York's results. We are going to start his this week!


I highly recommend Dognition for you and your pup to try.
