Nashville, Finally!

Hi buddies!

     Mom made it to BlogPaws 2015!

This year the conference is being held in Nashville, Tennessee. Since she's a little geographically challenged, she figured it might be a fun drive. Well, 14 plus hours later, she's busy patting herself on the back for making her longest road trip ever!

It wasn't so bad, she had good company with the Stunning Cathy Keisha's TW navigating, plush CK, Mario and my flat stand in doing some back seat driving.

Of course, I'm staying at my home away from home, the Barker Lounge, but I'll be making sure that she posts all the fun things that comes along this weekend. She's considering making some major changes to our blog, so this weekend she needs to learn as much as she can! 

Thanks for stopping by, we'll be blogging more from BlogPaws tomorrow!

Throw Back Thursday!

Mom's feeling nostalgic, she loves the less crazy calmer dog that I've "matured" into, but she can't believe we've been together for more than 10 years! 

Where does the time go pals?

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Yowza! I'm Almost Famous!

Hiya buddies!

       Many of you may know that mom works for a pattern company. Well, the Art Director needed a white iPad for a photo shoot so mom offered hers. So to make a long story short....

 Hey, that's me!

Because of all the photos of me (& the stories, BOL!) I have a bit of a "reputation" with her workmates! So now I've made it to print. Hoping this mug sells a lot of patterns!

If you sew, this is a very easy number to make for your kindle, iPad or whatever. And there are a few different versions so check them out!

By the way, we received no compensation for this post. We're just thrilled that I was featured!

Pining Away For Spring!

Cats & Dogs - A Giveaway! Oh My!

Hiya buddies!

      As many of you know, I share my home with a few kitties. Yeah, yeah, I know. I've heard it all before. "Fighting like cats and dogs", yada, yada. Well not at Chez Prudence! I've lived with kitties since mom brought me home and we get along fabulously just fine.
       For the most part, I respect their space and they respect mine, BOL! Okay,  I'll admit to snarfing up their food sometimes,. But in my defense I try my best to wait until they've finished! And sometimes I NEED to lay down on the same cushion on the couch that they're already laying down on, but I'm only canine, after all!

       Well, when mom went to BlogPaws in the spring, she visited the "Cat Style Lounge". Kate Benjamin of Hauspanther online magazine, displayed an array of terrific items, all made for kitties and the people that love them. Lots of cool ideas to make my fursibs (& me) happy! Next thing you know, we were sent an uncorrected proof of Kate and Jackson Galaxy new book "Catification - Designing a Happy and Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!)" to take a look at. Yowza!

    This book is full of great information, starting with the "human/feline" relationship. A lot of details to help the reader understand cats and what their specific needs are. It includes lots of "Catification" tips from Jackson's TV show "My Cat From Hell" too!

     So many great tips and lots of great ideas and stuff for the "Do It Yourself" crowd too. Mom really loves that!

    The publishing date for "Catification" is October 14th, but you can pre-order your copy now and for every copy preordered before the publishing date, $1 will be donated by the publisher to organizations dedicated to helping homeless cats! Nice! And anyone that preorders "Catification" will receive exclusive discounts toward shop.hauspanther.com and store.jacksongalaxy.com.

      Now for some really good news! The kind folks at Tarcher/Penguin Publishing also sent a copy for one of our readers, along with a very cute Catification Kitty Lunch bag!

Meet Mocha, this Week's Tuesday's Tale!

Hi buddies!

This week we'd love for you to meet sweet Mocha!

Mocha is a beautiful young Pit/Lab mix. The description on her Petfinder.com page says that she's full of energy and will make a great jogging partner. She's very friendly and has a great disposition. Mocha is in great condition and is a new arrival at the Newark Humane Society's shelter. She is very good on her leash and was easy to walk. No soft toys for her 'though, as they will be history, a good nylon bone would be better! Good food test, And she releases the raw hide when asked.
The shelter recommends a "one dog family" for her, as she is reported not to be good with other dogs.

 

Just look at that happy face! What a wonderful picture (and what a difference it makes too)!

Mocha is currently at the Newark Humane Society, in Newark, New Jersey.  And with each adoption, the Society will present a DVD on TRAINING YOUR DOG or YOUR ADOPTED CAT at no charge.The dog video will include problems with chewing, jumping, mouthing, etc., but who trains a cat, BOL? There are $300 worth of free coupons offered with the dog video and $100 in free coupons for each cat adopter. It's a win - win buddies!

 

The Tuesday's Tails Blog hop features shelter pets, all waiting for their forever homes. Please consider featuring a cat, dog or any pet at your local shelter on your blog and join the hop! Sharing these friends will certainly improve their chances of being adopted!

Thank you Dogs 'N Pawz & Talking Dogs for hosting!
