★DIY Pet Beds: Upcycle your old, unwanted Sweaters!! ★

Create something special for your furry friends by transforming your unwanted winter sweaters into comfy masterpieces that are fit for any royal pet...
Did I mention how simple these pet beds are to create?? Let the kids join in and make a family project day out of it!!

Needed Supplies:
1 Sweater
2 Unused dishtowels/bathtowels
Fabric Scraps or Cotton Stuffing
Thread
Wool
Sewing Needles
Scissors

Directions:

• If your using scrap fabric for the stuffing -- Start by cutting the fabric into many small pieces.

• Fold the towels to where they are just shy of your desired size, forming the base to your pet bed.

Optional - You can also add a layer of scrap stuffing if wanted.

• Pin all layers together into an oval-like shape.

• Fold in the edges toward the base center and loosely sew into place.

• Add your padding to the sweater body (Cotton stuffing or fabric scraps) and sew into place using thick wool thread.

• Stuff the sleeves as well and shape themvaround the circular base.

• Finish off the bed by sewing and securing everything into place.

• You can decorate the bed to either match your home or make it as unique as your furry child! Anything's possible as well as a non-decorated beauty that'll amaze all of your animal loving friends!

★★ Quick Tip ★★
If you match your thread color with the sweater color then you'll have less to worry about since neatness won't be noticed. Which is perfect for sewing beginners of all ages, including kids!

The Dogs Bark Bakery - 100% Natural Gourmet Dog Treats

Is your 4 legged friend fit to be a Royal Pup? 
How does Natural Gourmet Dog Treats sound?

This post is sponsored by:

A month or so ago I was contacted by a social media manger who had many clients for who she worked for. She asked if I would be interested in working with a few of her clients, she named off a few of them and there was no way I could turn her down! She worked with some wonderful brands and I couldn't wait to get started. The Dogs Bark Bakery was one of those brands!

Rhonda, the Owner/Baker of The Dogs Bark Bakery, makes 100% Natural Gourmet Dog Treats out of her very own kitchen! She uses only human grade, calorie conscious ingredients, that are locally grown when available. The dog treats have no meat or meat byproducts and are handmade to satisfy even the pickiest doggie taste buds! Dog Treats from The Dogs Bark Bakery come in 2 different sizes and in many many flavors!! Since the treats are preservative free, refrigeration is recommended.
(There was a sticker on top of the treat box to remind me!)

The Sizes include: Barks - For the big dogs & Bites - For the smaller dogs

What caught my attention about The Dogs Bark Bakery? All those delicious sounding flavors, that's what!!  You get to chose between 9 different flavors of dog treats! 100% Natural Gourmet Dog Treats -- That makes it 10x better!

The Flavors Include:

• Grain Free Carrot Cookies
• Tomato Garlic Biscotti
• Vegan Blueberry Banana Delights
• Cinnamon Rolls
• Pumpkin Pie Bites
• Banana Biscotti
• Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
• Parmesan Crackers
• Breath Refreshers

I don't personally have a dog living at home with me but I do have one just 3 minutes away, at my best-friend Dustin's house. His name is Zeus! He's a big baby and the coolest dog ever!! I decided that Zeus deserved some gourmet dog treats, every dog deserves to feel like a King every now and then, right? Dustin and I went through every treat flavor and finally settled on Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, in Bark Size! Zeus ain't no little puppy, he may think he's a lap dog but the truth is... Zeus is a big ol' baby and the coolest pitbull ever! Don't let the name Pitbull scare you off, he couldn't and wouldn't hurt a fly... Unless his nails aren't cut then you may get a scratch or 2 but that's just because he wants to play.

When the treats arrived, I was super excited to let Zeus try them! I couldn't help but take a sneak-peek at the cookies to see what they looked like, I found cool looking stars with the natural ingredients very visible! (The packaging was really neat too, the treats came in a brown box held together by a piece of twine) I couldn't wait to show Dustin and Zeus... Then life happened and I wasn't able to see Zeus for a couple weeks. (School, Family and the Unexpected - Unfortunately delayed my blog work alot during the month of May) But I never once forgot about Zeus' gourmet dog treats from The Dogs Bark Bakery! Luckily I was able to visit Zeus a couple days ago and I'm happy to say that he LOVES his new treats! Since I'm having to use my phone camera until I fix my good one, I wasn't able to get a visible photo of Zeus eating the treat! He gobbled them up way too fast!!! I don't know about you, but that tells me just one thing -- Zeus enjoys his Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies! He kept wanting more but I had Dustin put them in the fridge so he could save some later. (Maybe when he does an awesome trick!)

All in all, my experience with The Dogs Bark Bakery was a wonderful one and I plan on purchasing more dog treats soon! If you have a doggie friend and would like to give them the Royal Treatment when they do something awesome, then I highly recommend the 100% Natural Gourmet Dog Treats from The Dogs Bark Bakery! They look yummy, even though I'm not brave enough to try them myself!

A Giveaway for your 4-legged Friends

No more worries about pet shampoos irritating our 4 legged friends' skin anymore! John Paul has come up with a product that is safe and great for the animals in our life.

This review and giveaway is hosted by The Momma And Boys

John Paul, who is also the co-founder of Paul Mitchell band testing on animals with his products over 30 years ago. All his products are "tested on humans first" and are pH balanced so they do not irritate our pets' sensitive skin.

This is my doggy Nibbler. He suffers from sensitive skin and food allergies so we always have to be careful with what we use to bath him and feed him. So I choose to review the John Paul Pet Care Three Pack Tea Tree Oil. I felt like this helped Nibbler out a lot since most dog shampoos leave his skin flaky and itchy. The John Paul Pet Care kit came with the tea tree oil shampoo, a spray in condition, and pet care wipes. They all help moisturize his skin and keep his coat clean and shiny.

This is my puppy, Daisy. Even though she is a puppy I was able to use the products on her since it is made for sensitive skin. John Paul's product worked great on both dogs

Win a Dog Bandana in The Diapers for Dogs Giveaway

Review and Giveaway hosted by The Momma And Boys!

Diapers for dogs allowed us to review a dog diaper for my little Daisy. They are really easy to put on the dog. It Velcro's around the dogs shoulders and around their hips. They even have a spot to put the tail through which is excellent.

After putting this diaper for my dog on I could tell that it was really comfortable for her. She was able to sit down and move around just fine without any problems.

Inside the diaper they have a spot for you to insert absorbent pads. This diaper for dogs came in handy for me when my dog went into heat. I was able to make sure everything was under control. The best part about it is that the diaper is washable so no need to always waste money on diapers or other products for when your dog goes into heat.

This picture of the bandana's is what you will be entering the giveaway to win!

Enter LuLu's Pet Wash Giveaway! *Live*

LuLu's Pet Wash from The School of Wash

Lulu's Pet Wash is made strictly for your pets by a company called School of Wash. It is made to help make your animals smell nice, which we all know how much we always want our pets smelling nice and fresh. Nothing is worse than a stinky dog making our houses smell icky! We can wash and wash our dogs but once they dry.... they still stink. I got this wonderful opportunity to bring you this awesome pet care giveaway. Below you will read one bloggers experience with LuLu's Pet Wash and learn how to enter this wonderful giveaway that she has allowed me to be a part of and bring to all of you!

I was so excited to receive my Lulu's Pet Care Kit for my dogs.  They have tons of scent options to choose from and the one I choose was banana coconut.  When the shampoo and spritz came I could not wait to try it out on my pets!

This is Ms. Daisy and she is all excited for her bath to try out her new shampoo and spritz. My dogs were really needing to be bathed.  Lulu's Pet Care Kit helped make her not stink anymore.  And I must say the banana coconut smell is amazing.  I love the way it makes my puppy smell afterwards.

Now this guy is Mr. Nibbler!  Since he is a lot bigger dog he usually stinks the worse.  He also suffers from dry skin a lot of the times.  This stuff not only did wonders on the way he smelled, but he also has not been itching as much after being bathed with it.  Also, as we all know that not long after bathing our dogs they stink.  With LuLu's Pet Care Kit the smell last a while on the pet and when it does fade you are able to use the spritz which I just love having on hand to help freshen up their coat with the smell.

The Giveaway goes live at Midnight TONIGHT!
