Woohoo! I don’t need to remind you all how much I LOVE coffee, do I? If you forgot, you can check my cartoon version of myself & you’ll notice that I’m holding a nice hot cup of Joe. The only thing better than a quiet moment to myself with a mug of coffee, is making fancy coffee drinks for Woof Woof Papa, our friends and family! Well lucky me, I’m participating in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto and received product samples so that I could tell you all about it.

We’ve been having SO much fun testing out the Dolce Gusto Genio from NESCAFÉ, and besides being super easy to use, it’s also super fast and versatile, making it perfect for holiday get-togethers and entertaining. What really sets it apart from other coffee makers is that the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is the only machine that truly delivers delicious, coffee house quality creations every time with patented smart capsule technology delivering up to 15 bars of professional pressure and espresso technology. You can go from making a Chai Latte to a Caramel Macchiato with no fuss or muss thanks to their uniquely designed capsules.

You just choose the coffee capsule for the type of drink you want to make, and the label shows you how much water you’ll need. Then you just dial it up on the machine and press GO. It makes hot and cold drinks…which we love since we’re in Florida and it sometimes gets too hot to fuss with hot drinks even for a coffee-holic like me!

For the 3rd year in a row, Daisy & I are super excited to feature Three Dog Bakery as one of our favorite holiday gifts for dogs! They are an extra special treat that we feel GREAT about giving (and receiving)! Not only are they made with all-natural, premium ingredients, but they are also super yummy. I know because I can’t resist nibbling them myself…especially the cookies, and the pumpkin wafers in the Pup-kin Spice Latte! Please don’t judge…I already get the evil eye from Daisy when I steal her Three Dog treats!

I can also tell you that the creative packaging and design of the gift items really makes them unique and memorable. If you’re looking for a gift that’s a little bit indulgent and really has that WOW factor, there’s still time to hurry on over to Three Dog Bakery to find your nearest location or order online.

What NOT To Buy? Pet Store Puppies! #AdoptDontShop

What NOT to Buy? Pet Store Puppies!

This time of year, my blog is filled with suggestions and advice on what to buy for just about every fur kid and pet lover on your holiday gift list. I wanted to just take a sec, and bring you a very important message about what NOT to buy this holiday season (or ever)!

Please DON’T buy pet store puppies or anything else from ANY store that sells puppies!

You see, most pet store puppies come from puppy mills—you know, those huge, factory-like breeding operations where dogs live in horrible conditions and never receive love. Every time you buy anything from a pet store that sells puppies, you’re actually supporting this very cruel industry.

The ASPCA has a great new video that helps to educate the public about this, so please take time to watch it and help spread the word by sharing it with everyone you know!

After you watch our video, please remember to share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, and kindly ask them to share it, too. Be sure to use the hashtag #AdoptDontShop. Daisy & I are really counting on you to help ASPCA reach millions of people with this important message.

Know of a pet store in your area that sells puppies, or want to see which stores do?

Visit the ASPCA map & database to search or add info about pet stores that sell puppies!

Want to do more?

Show your support & Take The Pledge that if a pet store sells puppies, you won’t buy anything there. Not pet food, kitty litter, or squeaky toys — Nothing! And pledge to tell everyone you know not to shop there either!

Also, if you’re really into helping end puppy mills, sign up for a chance to win a free ASPCA Puppy Mill Advocacy Pack. It contains all sorts of cool gear, including a puppy mill message tote, a puppy mill message tee and more!
