Handmade Items for Pet Parents that We Love

by Katherine on July 4, 2012

I am all about my dog–I think that’s pretty clear from the site you’re currently on. While I love Arie, I don’t own a lot of “German Shepherd Dog Enthusiast” gear–The t-shirts, the magnets, etc. While there are plenty of dog lovers who can pull off these accents, to be blunt, they seem out-dated and [...]

Arie is a big girl. We’ve been over this before, yes, but Arie’s size is something that is always at the forefront of mind. As a larger White German Shepherd, Arie weighs in at 95 lbs (Note: Arie is not overweight, she’s just a large shepherd–Her parents were 127 lbs and 97 lbs, so I [...]

I know that some of you might be feeling a little anxious…”Who won the giveaway?! Just tell me already!” I hate when giveaway hosts take forever to announce a winner, or don’t do so at all…and then of course, after swearing I wouldn’t be that guy, I became, well that guy-er-person. Without further ado, I [...]

Yesterday, I decided to have a green thumb

by Katherine on April 29, 2012

So I have to cop-out a little on the letter y, and I’m going with yesterday. No judgement! My family has a green thumb…sort of. My grandparents on my mother’s side have an AMAZING backyard. There are various nooks of blooms and greenery, two bonds (dug and devised by my Grandfather himself), several seating areas, [...]

V is for Venison and More Giveaway Revelations

by Katherine on April 26, 2012

At the beginning of the month, I raved about our love of Nutro Natural Choice’s Grain Free dog food, and told you about how wonderful their lamb and venison formulas have been for Arie’s allergies, and for my roommate’s dog’s allergies. In the post I gave a disclaimer: “Just as a FYI for this post, [...]

QR Codes for your pet! No, seriously…

by Katherine on April 19, 2012

I’ve mentioned before that I work in Social Media and online content… which means that I’m a bit of an internet snob when new technology hits the public and people don’t take time to learn about it. Have you seen those boxes of random design around town that say scan me? They’re called QR Codes. [...]

The letter P brings us several amazingly fun topics…and it makes me happy. Let’s kick things off with……Pinterest, the web obsession. I will not only eventually have to go to rehab for caffeine, but probably Pinterest as well. I know most of you are probably already pinning wonders, but trust me–Pinterest isn’t for everyone, so [...]

OTC Medications for Pets…or Not?

by Katherine on April 17, 2012

Over the counter medications are convenient for people, as they relieve symptoms without a prescription when you need something in a pinch. I don’t like to take medications, but I do frequently get migraines and have an OTC migraine medicine that is a lifesaver…but I digress. When I was younger, I remember my mom being [...]

Kong – German Shepherd Approved Toys

by Katherine on April 12, 2012

Growing up, I never had dogs that liked toys. No, really. My parent’s miniature dachshund, Watson, is the first to even take to the infamous Loofa dogs, a seemingly universal favorite. When Arie was a wee bitty thing, she loved the loofa dogs as well–and then she discovered stuffing. After the stuffing discovery, a move [...]
