Live, Love, and Bark

As a dog lover, I am always on the look out for fun new toys for Baby to try. Live, Love, and Bark is a great online shop full of items for dogs and dog lovers alike. Recently they sent Baby a cute new dog toy and some cheeseburger treats to try out. Baby fell in love with the toy!

Baby with the flat duck dog toy

The Flat Floppy Quack is perfect for her little mouth, and because it is stuffing free, there isn’t a worry of her pulling stuffing out! There is a squeaker inside, which she likes to chomp on, but mainly she loves to carry it around with her. In fact, we have even seen her sleeping on it like a little pillow from time to time. It is her new favorite toy.

Give me that duck!

In addition to fun toys, Live, Love, and Bark offers handmade treats, dog collars, beds, bowls, clothes, and even gifts for dog lovers. Baby had a chance to try some of the all natural cheeseburger treats. We never know what to expect when we give her treats, because she is an odd dog and doesn’t usually like dog treats (she loves carrots and broccoli instead). She liked these though! And we felt great letting her eat them knowing that they were all natural.

Thanks to Live, Love, and Bark for providing us with the toy and treats for our review. Be sure to visit their website to see all of the great items for sale!

Pawalla: Joy for Cats and Dogs

Somehow Baby always knows when something in the mail is for her. When our Pawalla box arrived, she couldn’t sit still! She wanted to see what was inside, and she wanted to see it NOW! As you can see, it’s a large box, and it was full of all kinds of great things to try. Baby’s favorite was the toy, but she has been enjoying the treats and food as well.

Pawalla is a monthly subscription box for your dog or cat. Each month food, treats and toys will be sent to your home to delight your pet. But not just any food or treat gets to be part of a Pawalla box! They are hand picked by nutritionist Dr. Susan Lauten! As you can see, these are full sized products too!

Our box came with an adorable “balloon dog” toy, two cans of wet dog food, two bags of treats, poop bags, and some very cute “Petchup”. The Pawalla box is designed for your dog or cat, so a box for a larger dog would look different than something designed for our pup.

You can buy monthly subscriptions for yourself or as a gift. If you find something that your dog or cat loves and want to buy more, they have a shop where you can buy individual items too. Worried that your pet won’t love it? They will send you another box for free if that happens. Judging by Baby’s reaction though, I doubt they ever have to do that! She has loved her box.

So, if you are looking for a fun and easy way to find great new items to spoil your dog or cat, be sure to check out Pawalla. We were impressed with the quality of each item in our box, and will be asking for a subscription for our birthday! To learn more, visit the Pawalla website.

Staples. That was easy!

A small confession, I love office supplies. There is just something about a fresh notebook, new pens, and the like that make my little heart happy. So when I was approached to do a post about Staples in return for a product from their store, I was giddy. What would I choose? So many choices on the Staples website, but one section called my name loudly. Tablets!

Yes friends, as a pet blogger being able to connect on the go has been something I have longed to do. For whatever reason, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that Staples would carry so many electronics, but wow they have a great selection! With so much of our offices now being run digitally, it makes sense. But they have more than just printers! They have cameras, TVs, phones, and yes, tablets.

I have really loved the tablet I ordered (the Nexus 7). Not only did it ship quickly, it was packaged well too. Super important in my book. The tablet even offers a front facing camera, maybe I can Skype with our pets while I am out and about? And of course with all the apps it is great for keeping in touch with social media like Twitter and Instagram.

My wish list is now even longer after looking around the Staples site. Seriously, there were so many awesome office supplies (like a new office chair for example), and such great prices too. Also, the website will let you know if your product is available in the store or online, and they even offer free shipping on orders over $20. Pretty great, right?

Luv & Emma’s Dry Pets Review

Luv & Emma’s Dry Pets is an absorbent microfiber towel designed to hang on your door handle to provide a convenient and easy way to dry your pet! Perfect for winter and wet months, the towel is super absorbent and works wonders on wet paws.

We loved the convience of it being right on the door ready to go. No more searching for a towel while holding a wet pooch, and no more waste of paper towels either. Truly a must have! I really don’t know how we ever lived without it, especially during the wet winter months. It even takes care of “snowballs”!

Not only is the towel a lot of fun with the paw print design, but the microfiber fabric is soft and absorbent. At about 21 X 17 inches, you can get a lot of drying done! The Luv & Emma’s Dry Pets holds up to an amazing 16 ounces of water, and yet it dries quickly! It’s also machine washable!

For more information or to order one for yourself, be sure to visit Luv & Emma’s Dry Pets. You will be happy you did, we sure love ours.
