New Brush

As we told you yesterday we were asked to do a review of FIVE products of our choice. Our second product for review is this new brush made by Oster.

First up to get brushed out was Bokeh. Bokeh and Tempest usually run from the brushes but this time they actually stood there and allowed mom and dad to brush them out. Momster was laughing and saying this brush is so nice she might want to try it for herself (silly mom this is for dogs, not humans).

The brush is nice and wide so it clears a big path in a short amount of time. It also says that it detangles and it really does work. You start with the back and work your way front and it doesn't take much time at all.

The thing that Tempest, Bokeh and I like most about the brush is that is doesn't have those super hard wire feeling needles on them. This is nice and soft and doesn't scratch our skin like some of those brushes do.

In review we really like this brush. We like that it is a wide brush, doesn't have metal or sharp pieces on them that will scratch us all up. We also like the price, you can get them for under $10. We keep ours in our travel bag so momster can brush us at our events in the down time.

In exchange for this blog post we did receive this item for free to try and keep.

Do a review? Of course!

We were contacted by Propel Communications. They asked if we would like to do a review of FIVE products. We got to sniff over a list of cool products and make our decision of what products to try out. We received the packages one by one. One of the first things to arrive was a new bowl that Tempest selected from the list. She whined and complained that she wanted a pretty girlie bowl. The bowl is made by Loving Pets Products. You can click on that link for their website. :)

The new bowl is part of the Bella Bowls Designer and Expressions series. Tempest chose the Argyle Pink one. Mom told her she needed the medium size since she is a medium sized dog (27 pounds).

You can see all the different colors and designs by clicking here. The bowls are stainless steel and come with a rubber gripper on the bottom to prevent from scooting all over the floor (which Tempest does ALL the time, she likes to try to hide and bury her food).

So in review we like the fact that the bowls are stainless steel and dishwasher safe (just have to remove the rubber piece) and that they don't harbor germs and icky bacteria that much. We like that they come in different sizes and colors for boys and girls. The only thing that we can think of that would make them 100% perfect is if they were manufactured right here in the USA. We really like the new bowl though and plan to purchase three more so we all have one and not just Tempest.

In exchange for this blog post we did receive a cool bowl to try out and keep. :)

Wag Pac

We were invited to join in doing a review of the new Wag Pac. This is a new subscription based program that isn't open to subscriptions just yet (but very close, we will let you know when you can start subscribing). We are going to receive a three month subscription in exchange for this review. We love getting mail and getting new treats and toys to try so this is a win-win!

One HUGE thing that we love about this new program is that a portion of your subscription will be donated to a charity that YOU get to choose. There are over 3,000 charities to chose from. Of course since we volunteer for Louiville Weimaraner Rescue that is who we chose to have ours go to.

The box arrived very quickly. It was secured nicely and when you opened it, it was wrapped very pretty. It also had a big note on the inside saying that part of the sales were donated to Louisville Weimaraner Rescue. YIPPEE!

Here is a video of us opening the box, it was so much fun.

There were several very cool things in the box. It came with a leash that has a poop bag holder on it (hey Frankie, I said POOP, haha), some nice treats to try out (which were YUMMY) and a squeaky toy (I am keeping that one and not sharing with Tempest this time) and a blinking light for my collar when I'm out at night.

The prices are expected to be around $29 for a one month subscription, $24 a month if you join for 3 months and $19 a month if you join for six months. A whole lot of fun and they donate part to a charity.

We really enjoyed receiving this mystery box and liked the products that were inside. We feel it is a good value for the items that you receive.

Tempest Tuesday

Tempie here! Sagira said I could have the blog today to tell you about about my first birthday pawty. OMD it was SO much fun!

It started out on Sunday, I got to go with dad to a private disc dog lesson with Matt. After my lesson dad made a stop at Three Dog Bakery and said we were going to pick up my birthday cake!

I had to check out all their goodies in the display case (everything is just for dogs, dadster couldn't have any, BOL)

 photo E1110131512b_zpsbe88f6bc.jpg

Hey dad, how about adding one of these to the order?

 photo E1110131512a_zps581c88d7.jpg

The lady baking all the goodies came out to give me a sample. She was really nice.

 photo E1110131511_zps1ca8e98b.jpg

Check out all the cool things they have for us to eat!

 photo E1110131516_zps30c5eac9.jpg

I even got a free Pupcake just for being so cute.

 photo E1110131517a_zps7f58f865.jpg

Isn't my cake beautiful? It was made of peanut butter and some other stuff. I just couldn't wait a whole day to take it to day care to share with all my furiends.

 photo ETempestDR11_zps89a6bae7.jpg

Check back tomorrow so I can tell you about all the fun I had at my pawty.

Someone turned 1

While we were MIA my sister, Tempest, turned ONE on November 6th. She went to daycare and they had a big pawty for her. All of her friends brought her gifts and goodies

 photo EJWB_1708_zpsf8b1a68c.jpg

Tempest got to pick which toy she wanted first since it was her birthday and all

 photo EJWB_1709_zps4ea5ef0c.jpg

She was nice though and shared her new rope bone with Bokeh. He loves rope bones.

 photo EJWB_1715_zpsed7afd83.jpg

I stole her cupcake squeaky toy because I love things that squeak, BOL

 photo EJWB_1716_zps1f25daa3.jpg

Oops...I guess she wanted that back

 photo EJWB_1723_zps1f17b1d1.jpg

Told you he loves rope bones

 photo EJWB_1724_zpsf5e38561.jpg

Even Starr got in on the action and took a toy

 photo EJWB_1726_zpsaee7f656.jpg

I was being a toy hog and trying to get all the squeaky toys in one spot

 photo EJWB_1732_zps3adcae76.jpg

I'm just glad my sister is nice and shared with all of us. Happy Birthday Tempest!

Check back tomorrow for more from Tempie about her pawty

Trial Day

Had a trial a few weekends ago in Zanesville. Got to hang out with Frankie and Ernies' mom. They didn't get to come this time. Guess they were busy helping their dad around their house and stuff. We always enjoy having Frankie and Ernie's family there. They send us good luck and because their mom was there we got another double Q. That makes number 9 (need 20 for my MACH) and we are not up to 225 points (need 750 for my MACH). Slowly chipping away at it. :)

Here is my standard run, perfect and earned 10 MACH points.

and this is my Jumpers run. Mom was hoping you could hear what the AKC representative was saying about dad and I when we were running but you can't hear it. She was talking about what a nice dog I was and what a perfect team dad and I make up. How cool is that?

We also want to give Frankie and Ernie's mom a huge thank you. She bought us this really cool travel bag that goes on the back of your seat in the car. She knows we travel a lot and thought of us. She also gave us some more goodies for the rescue's Weim and Cheese coming up in June.
