I swear my dog has absolutely no concept of time… until food is involved. I can say, “We are leaving in five minutes,” and get zero reaction. Somehow, at approximately almost dinner time, I suddenly have a four-legged shadow following me around the house. Walk toward the kitchen? Following. Open a cabinet? Following. Accidentally make eye contact? Oh, it’s ON. Apparently that means dinner is happe...

Soccer fever is here! One of the biggest events of the year. Naturally, when World Cup fever started creeping in, I did what any reasonable fan would do: I bought a soccer ball, put together a game day outfit, grabbed a bag of Purina Beggin’ treats, and got my dog, Zero, his very own USA jersey. If we’re going to cheer, we’re going to cheer as a family, and yes, Zero is now convinced he has been o...

When the summer months roll around it’s HOT outside. We live in the south and most days the heat feels like it just won’t let up. The sun is out and blazing in the early hours of the morning. Sometimes it's challenging to find the best time of day to take walks or consume meals. I’m always looking for ways to help my pup cool down and that can take a little creativity. I try to incorporate foods a...

When the crisp autumn air has arrived and leaves begin to fall, we as humans aren’t the only ones looking to get a little extra cozy. Our feline friends are natural-born heat seekers, and fall is the perfect time for them to master the art of lounging in a cozy and snug corner! Chasing the Autumn Sun:The angle of the sunlight changes when fall arrives, those bright spots on the floor shift making ...

Halloween night is filled with spooky costumes, tasty treats, and neighborhood cheer. The air is crisp, leaves are falling, the neighborhood is decorated, and the bowl of candy is ready. Though, for our furry family members a constantly ringing doorbell, glowing costumes, and continuous strangers knocking can feel like a full blown home invasion. The unexpected noises and door repeatedly opening c...

HOME & FAMILY

You step through the front door, and there they are. You walk into the bathroom, only to turn around and see a tiny familiar paw sliding under the door. For a lot of cat owners, having that distinct feeling that you’re being stalked is a normal part of daily life. Whether you’re sipping coffee, folding laundry, or walking to the fridge you can often find your cat right at your heels. Despite our f...

When the house is empty, your spouse is away, and you’re holding down the fort solo with your furry crew. Survival mode isn’t about thriving or getting a five-star review. It’s about minimal friction and maximum sanity. Keeping the peace requires a blend of low-effort entertainment, gentle routines, and accepting that your pets are just furry toddlers with worse impulse control than you. So here’s...

Ghosts, scary movies, and things that are spooky in the night may get all the attention this October, but there is something even scarier lurking in our house…dog breath. While we are stocking up on treats for Halloween to hang out, I am making sure the dogs have a treat of their own with DentaLife Daily Oral Care dog chews. Adding a dental chew to their routine is an easy way to give them somethi...

Being a cat mom is basically having a tiny, furry roommate who contributes absolutely nothing financially, yet somehow has very strong opinions about everything. Where I sit? Wrong. When I wake up? Also wrong. Being three minutes late with breakfast? An unforgivable offense. When it comes to food, the standards are HIGH.That’s why Purina Pro Plan Dry Cat Food has earned a spot in our routine. It g...

One of my favorite ways to save time lately has been using Click2Go Commissary Ordering, especially on beach days with Zero. On nice California mornings, we’ll head to the beach near the Air Force Base, spend a few hours walking along the water, getting fresh air, and fully pretending we have our lives together. Instead of cutting the day short to battle crowded grocery store aisles afterward, I p...
