Thank you to Kiss My Itch Goodbye for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I really love Summer.  After the long Minnesota Winters, it feels great to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine and warm air.  Unfortunately, the joke around here is that our state bird should really be the mosquito.  Being the land of 10,000 lakes means that there are plenty of mosquitoes and other biting bugs around to keep us company outdoors.  While my husband doesn't Read more [...]

I received products from Chicken Soup For the Soul for this review. All opinions are my own. As I become more aware of what I'm putting in my own body and how it affects me and my health, I've started to do the same with my pets. Many dry dog and cat foods contain all kinds of unhealthy ingredients, and stuff that our pets simply shouldn't be eating. Chicken Soup for the Soul now has a line of holistic, natural pet food that's great for your pets. I was very happy to be able to try out some of Read more [...]

I received products from Bissell for my review. All opinions are my own. Many of you know that our house is for sale. It takes a lot of time and energy to have your house on the market while you still live in it. We request that potential buyers give us 24 hours notice before wanting to see our house but that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes you have just a few hours to clean your house from top to bottom, stage it and get out before someone arrives to view it. We do our very best to never turn Read more [...]

*I was not compensated for this post in any way. Prizes are provided by brand or retailer sponsors. A week ago, I shared about how it had been a year since I bought my two pugs Frank & Beans home. Each day since then, I've shared a blog post or two discussing some of our favorite pet products. They are all linked below, so you can check to make sure that you didn't miss any.

*I was provided with product from Pet Wellbeing. All opinions are my own. I keep my dogs on what I feel is a good quality dog food. Yet, like people, I think dogs can sometimes benefit from nutritional supplements of some kind or another. I never really considered supplements for pets until recently. I noticed that on occasion, Frank will not truly limp but will walk different than usual. It usually only lasts for 5-10 seconds after he gets up but I started researching dog arthritis. I think Read more [...]

*I was provided with a BFF box. All opinions are my own. One way that Ryan & I really "lucked out" by adopting senior dogs was not having to train them. They were already potty trained and knew basic commands before we got them. Of course, we could try to make them learn new commands or tricks but I know for a lot of dog owners, training takes tons of time, energy and effort. The AKC brand came up with the AKC Good Dog Helpline which is a service available to those trying to train their dog. Read more [...]

*I was sent products by Bartley's. All opinions are my own. We've all watched the heartbreaking commercials that show abused and/or abandoned animals. I have several dog-lovers on my Facebook list, so I regularly see stories about local dogs who need to be adopted. One crossed my stream today that was a 16-year-old dog who had just been given away by its owner. My heart broke for that dog, as it does so many of the dogs who come across my Facebook stream. It can be tough to find a place to rent Read more [...]

*I was sent products from Hartz. All opinions are my own. My dogs are incredibly picky about which toys they like. It took us a few months to get a good understanding of which types of toys they will and will not play with. Eventually we realized that they only play with small, plush toys. They are intimidated by large plush toys, balls and frisbees. They just don't seem to understand that non-plush toys are for them to chew on. Early on, we tested out a lot of different types of dog toys Read more [...]

*I was provided with dog towels from Minimus.Biz. In my DIY Ready-for-anything vehicle kit blog post I discussed how I created an "emergency kit" to leave in my car. I included a lot of trial or travel sized products to save space and to save money and get everything in one place, I got the items from Minimus.Biz which specializes in travel size products. They recently added a pet care "aisle" to their website so that you can order trial and travel items for your dog. I'll definitely consider Read more [...]
