PawNosh Bowls – Advent Calendar Day 3

By

The #Advent4Dogs is a sponsored event. Featured brands have paid for inclusion and/or provided us with their products free of charge.  That said, I’m a genuine fan of these bowls and wouldn’t endorse something I wouldn’t use myself.

You guys, I’m so jelly of all the cool prizes you are able to win through the Advent Calendar for Dogs giveaway.  I have to be honest here. I’ve had my eye on these Pawnosh bowls for a while now.  In fact, I tried to win one from them last year. 

Why?

  • First, they’re made in the US, which is a high priority in my books.
  • Second, they’re made from recycled material
  • Third, they are made of glass ( which to the best of my knowledge) has no known toxins to contaminate food. 
  • Fourth, look at the amazing colors!  How pretty would that be for your dog’s water or food bowl?  I honestly think I’d want one of each color, I mean how could you choose only one?

Advent Day 3 Are you like me, anxious to get your hands on one of these incredible bowls before the contest ends?  Good news, PawNosh is giving Advent Calendar readers a 10% discount.  Simply use 14ADVENT10 when checking out.  Oh and if you’re interested you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

One Man’s Trash – Celebrate Shelter Pets

By

Shelter Pets

Today is Celebrate Shelter Pets day and I couldn’t let the day go by without celebrating my special shelter girl, Delilah.

Delilah -

Holy woof, are you going to complain about me again?

 I know, I know.  She’s a little bit on the crazy side, but there are many, many people who get normal shelter dogs that aren’t as crazy as this one. “-)  Besides if Delilah was like Sampson what the hell would I blog about? 

My girl came to us via American Lab Rescue in May of 2007.  She was found in a high kill shelter in Lousiana, sent to foster in Tennessee and eventually made her way to us.

We were told she was between 2 to 3 years old, but our vet guessed her age to be about 18 months.  Not having the benefit of knowing when she was actually born, our vet’s office listed her date of birth as December 1st.  We choose to celebrate Delilah’s birth on the 14th.  A day that is very special to me, as it was my beloved grandmother’s birthday as well.  

The rescue told us she’d been spayed but we discovered shortly after us that she wasn’t.  When she went in for her actual spay we discovered that she’d already had at least one litter of puppies.

Having spent the last 7 1/2 years with this amazing dog it simply boggles my mind how people can so casually drop a pet off at a shelter without a second thought.  Someone, somewhere lost an amazing opportunity to have a life filled with love and laughter, all courtesy of this amazing being.

You know what they say, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”  And Delilah surely is a treasure to me.

When You Have a Dog Like Delilah

By

When you have a dog like Delilah, holidays can be challenging.  Because siriusly, any time you’re working with food, Delilah has to be there.

You know, just in case you drop a crumb.

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and I can’t tell you how many times I said, “Get out of the kitchen” on Thursday.  After about the 10th time, I put her in the bedroom and put a gate across the door and finished my food preparations.

When everything was ready, I let her out again.  Now the fun begins.  Keeping her from stealing food off the table.

We had 11 people for dinner and the table only seats six, so we added a little card table.  This means the food can’t all fit on the table, so we used the breakfast bar for the dinner food and as soon as dinner was over, we cleaned up the food and put it away.

But then came dessert.  The dessert foods went out on the pool table which is a little bit taller than the breakfast bar or table.  Did that stop Delilah?

Let me just check to make sure you've cleaned that table thoroughly.

Let me just check to make sure you’ve cleaned that table thoroughly.

Yes, yes she is THAT bold.  And she did it right in front of me too.

I don’t know about you, but I want to get as much as possible out of my turkey.  So as soon as everyone had packed up their goodies to take home, I put the turkey in the stock pot to start my turkey soup.

I'm from the health department...yes, it looks like you've done this correctly.

I’m from the health department…yes, it looks like you’ve done this correctly.

Remember last week when Jackie Bouchard asked, “So… how does she get stuff out of the sink?? Is she that tall? Does she jump up on the counter?”

There you have it Jackie, the stove is no higher than my sink.  I swear this dog could walk on two legs.  Truthfully I was more worried about her burning her paw, then her licking the pot but it didn’t seem to phase her.
