Today is Shop with your Dog Day

Posted on by — 10 Comments ↓

TGIF, Good Morning Friends, Friday has arrived, and I am not sure about you but I need to put my feet up and relax, I am exhausted although Nili is always ready to go out, her batteries are always ready and do not need to be recharged.

Winter has arrived, it has been cold and raining here and I have learned something new about Nili, she does not like the rain BOL but is very good when I put the raincoat on so am relieved that she will wear it and stay dry.

This raincoat belonged to Layla, it is made from a broken umbrella (a friend made for her) and I just love it and so happy it fits Nili as I love recycling

 

The holidays are around the corner and did you know today is Shop with your Dog Day. Like we need to be reminded LOL but it is a good excuse to go shopping with your dog and of course spoil him or her at the same time. I am sure we all have a list of what we need plus the extra list of what we want, especially for our dogs so let’s go shopping

It will be Nili’s first holiday with me, and I celebrate Hanukkah so am going to spoil her rotten, although she is not spoilt enough already. I was looking at her pile of toys that she has accumulated in less than 4 months and the toy basket is overflowing already plus her can where I store treats if full to the top also but hmmm, I know me I will buy more cos of my guilty conscience.

Mom I want some more toys, Nili

TGIF!!!!! Phew, is it Friday and I need this long weekend, do you?

Nili is doing all the talking today although Layla of course approves what she says as she is learning well to listen to Mom and what to dictate when it comes to our blog.

Winter is around the corner and that means being indoors more than normal, so I have once again been searching the internet for things to keep the Madam busy with and as she is, so food motivated (she gets veggies most of the time as treats) LOL I found this amazing ball which I had to get for her.

Where are the treats Mom

This is fun, Nili

It is from a company called Yomp, their toys are great, safe and not made from plastic. They are sustainable for both cats and dogs which is double awesome as us as pet parents can give them to play with and have no worries. The one I got for Nili is Snackin Ball. It is Food grade silicone, BPA and Latex free, gentle for the teeth, dishwasher safe, unique chewy texture and of course great for hiding treats. You can stuff it with Greek Yoghurt or Peanut Butter and freeze it, or just put regular treats in it although I have been putting cut up pieces of carrots and apples.

It bounces so well it nearly knocked Nili on the head when she was playing with it, but it keeps her busy all day, and that is so important as she is getting exercise which is what she needs especially now that winter is arriving, she needs a way of burning off energy and calories. I sit and throw it for her, and she fetches it, although big it is easy for her to carry as it has the ridges for the treats which help her hold it.

I am in love with this ball, plus it does not squeak so there is a bit of silence in the house LOL plus she cannot kill it which is great as up till now every toy I have bought her she has killed them within a couple of hours plus best of all it cannot get under the stove like some of her others and then I have to move the stove to get them.

This is one toy I would really recommend you get if you have an active dog, especially as it will keep them busy with or without the treats or halfway through play time add the treats.

They have some fantastic toys on their site, a must look especially with Hanukkah or Christmas around the corner – great stocking stuffers.

Their link for shopping is : https://glnk.io/r5rm4/ruth15 and you have 15% off with the coupon LaylasWoof.

Yomp sponsored Nili by giving her this ball as a gift.

I am now off here as I need a nap from playing all day,

Have a wonderful long weekend and be safe

Valentines Day is here

Posted on by — 10 Comments ↓

Hello fur friends,

It is 4 days away from Valentines Day or as Mom calls it chocolate day, and she told me she is going to spoil herself with a chocolate. I think I should be spoiled and not her but hey she does deserve it sometimes.

Mom and I had a long chat this week about Valentines Day and how I do not need anything as I am a spoiled brat but how the animals in shelters need to be loved also so we decided to put a package together of goodies and we going to drop it off at one of the shelters.

Those animals do not deserve to be in shelters but in warm homes with lots of love but we humans are to blame for that so as Mom says those caring humans who are speaking out for them must make sure also that they are spoiled on Valentine’s Day with love.

We are asking all our fur friends to please go to a shelter and donate food, treats or toys so that the animals can feel special love also. What could be better than seeing the smile of a dog or cat being spoiled like we are, it is a blessing.

I have a question? Who wants to be my Valentine?

 

Happy Valentines Day everyone, make sure you spoil your Mom or Dad with lots of licks and being good,

With woofs and love from Layla

I saw lots of Santa’s

Good morning fur friends,

How are you all and we hope you are staying warm and toasty but at the same time I always think and worry about the poor pets that are left outside.

This past weekend was hectic here as there were so many Santa events going on I did not know where to start with them. Bless San Francisco.

On Saturday was Santacon which is where everyone dresses as Santa – hits the bars and by the evening you have loads of drunken Santas’ all over the streets. It is a fundraising event where they try to collect as many toys as possible for the kids that need Christmas presents – the toys are dropped off at different locations so in one way it is serious but in another way it is fun. Last year our park was red with Santas’ but this year it was really quiet. I only saw three and managed to get a picture of Layla with them.

On Sunday was the skivvy run which is a fundraiser for the AIDS Foundation. Layla and I went to check it out, it was lots of fun plus of course she got a picture with Santa Claus. Actually all the photographers there took pictures of her too. Not sure who they are but it is ok with me. I hope they managed to raise funds to help this wonderful organization.

She also was spoiled by PAWS as they every year do a delivery of a goodie bag for our pets and she got one too with two new toys and some treats.

All in all it was a crazy but fun weekend. I need to rest LOL.

NOW we must also not forget that with Christmas coming the shelters fill up with irresponsible pet owners dumping their pets with ridiculously sad stories, it is a time for us to adopt a pet and not buy from a breeder. January becomes a nightmare for the over crowded shelters and rescuers work full time trying to save as many as possible. It is not a happy time but a really sad time.

We must also remember that to give a pet as a gift to a kid is something to be thought about carefully as that pet should not pay the price of being dumped at a shelter when the excitement wears off. Please remember that.

Why Shelters fill up in January :

I rescued Layla in January 2011 and I often wonder if she was dumped there as the novelty of having a pet had worn off with the family that dumped her or what was the real reason. She is one of the lucky ones to have been rescued by me but there are so many that are not that lucky.

I am off now to bed to dream about my lucky life with Mom and pray that many will be as lucky as I am.

Woof with love
Layla
