Howliday Week: Joy Pet Products Goose Down Coat Giveaway!
Think of this as the furry version of Oprah's Favorite Things, except with you all in your living room instead of in the studio, and me only giving away a few things instead of one to every reader. And we haven't all had our hair and makeup done. And we're not in Chicago. OK, it's not anything like Oprah's Favorite Things but it's still going to be a fun, fun week because I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS and therefore I dedicate the next month to merriment, festivities and gifts! This week is the ... Read more »
Giveaway: Stella & Chewy’s Carnivore Kisses
And the lucky winner chosen by random.org is Dana and her lucky pup Gucci! Congratulations! Have you ever tried those freeze dried apple thingies they have at Costco? They don't look like much, I'll give them that. When my friend pressed them into my hand with the confidence of one who was introducing me to the wonders of crack, I wasn't too impressed. "Why are you giving me astronaut food?" I asked her, proud of my impromptu 80's reference. So not appetizing (yet strangely alluring. I ... Read more »

Giveaway: Peekeeper
Have you ever heard of a fashionable diaper? Me neither. There is a reason they are not considered haute couture. Nonetheless, there is a time and place for everything, and our canine friends may sometimes find themselves in need of one as well. Incontinent dogs, submissive urinators who sprinkle everywhere, and dogs in heat are just a couple examples of the type of dog who might find themselves bundled up in doggie depends. Dog diapers, in addition to being just silly looking, are a bit ... Read more »

Bradyn will be so much safer if his family, and as he grows - he himself, would be if he had a dog that could warn them when a seizure is coming on." Truer words were ... Read more »

Giveaway: Calming Collars
From random.org, comment number 7 wins! Don't worry, there is one more chance to win coming up later!! Deb Mendez has been a supporter since the early days of the blog. Her all natural calming collar was clicked on Koa for the first 3 months she lived with us.

Anxiety is a big problem in dogs, and like many things, there is no one-size-fits-all ... Read more »
Fetching Tags Giveaway
I want a Boston terrier. There is a Boston terrier available for rescue at my favorite local rescue. That never happens (it's a retriever rescue). My husband thinks it's a terrible idea (for the record, he said the same about Koa.) I am sure this dog won't be available for very long, so I have a very short window of time to convince him that we should at least meet her and see if she is a good fit. Did you see her face? Her FACE?? *squish* I need your help to convince him. My argument is ... Read more »
