Did you get a chance to join Daisy and me at the emBARK on Pet Health twitter party last week? It was super fun and Tiffani Thiessen was there sharing all kinds of paw-tastic pet health tips and stories about her own sweet rescue dogs, too!
If you missed it, you can head on over to emBARKonPetHealth.com where you’ll get loads of great free pet health tips, reminders and tools especially for pet parents to learn about giving our pets the best care possible. Even those of us who’ve been pet parents for some time now will still find something new to help us keep our fur kids healthy and living well!
Make sure to take the emBARK on Pet Health Pledge to schedule a little time to bone up on your pet’s health needs. For each pledge made, Sergeant’s will send a Pet Health Kit to local American Humane Association shelters around the country to go home with newly adopted pets to help ensure their health care regimen is off to a great start! It only takes a sec, so take the pledge here.

Think your fur kid has a winning smile? Daisy and her boyfriend Fin sure do…they are all smiles when they are together and are super photogenic, too! After you’ve taken the Pet Health Pledge, hurry on over to Sergeant’s Superstar Smiles Photo Contest and submit a photo of your very own superstar for a chance to WIN a PAW-tastic new Canon EOS Digital Rebel T3 camera! I really do mean hurry, because the contest ends February 28, 2013 @ 11:00 pm (CST).
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sergeant’s, to help spread the word about the emBARK On Pet Health campaign designed to educate pet parents and support the American Humane Association (AHA). Daisy and I only share news for things we support and think you will enjoy!
Did you celebrate National Margarita Day yesterday? We sure did! That’s my margarita from last night there in the photo. I’d like to tell you that I only had one, and that I did not eat those chips, but I really love a great margarita on the rocks with salt on the rim, so you can already guess that I didn’t stop at just one…and yes, I ate the chips. And a big plate of amazing Mexican food! Woof Woof Papa was there too…and he said it’s ok to tell you that he over-indulged as well. You get the picture, I’ll spare you all the gory details.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta cut loose…footloose. I’ve got that song stuck in my head now, just writing it. Speaking of songs, we love our margaritas so much down here in Florida that there’s even a Blame It On The Margaritas song that’s popular with the locals. Check it out. You can listen to it while you read our post:
Did we both gain weight? Yes, but luckily just a little bit, and we’re blaming it on the margaritas. We figure it was worth it to have some fun and enjoy a rare meal out at our favorite Mexican restaurant. We never eat that way on a regular basis anymore and I can’t believe that we ever used to! Plus, we’re right back on track today with our Nutrisystem program, thank goodness. That’s a main difference between what’s working for us now versus everything we tried in the past. We’ve got a safety net so one evening of going off the rails doesn’t result in a ginormous train wreck.
We’ve been so busy enjoying our food and progress on Nutrisystem, that we hadn’t even noticed that there are some big-time myths and misconceptions floating around out there about the program.
I only discovered this because I was on YouTube today checking out some of the videos other people have done to show off their weight loss success stories and saw a new one called Nutrisystem Mythbusting. I guess the hubby and I are also Nutrisystem Mythbusters, since we’ve been living the program for over 4 months now and sharing weekly updates with you about our experiences!
Here are just some of the myths the video exposes:
Myth: You can’t enjoy the foods you love on Nutrisystem.
Truth: There are 150+ foods to choose from including pizza, pasta, cheesecake and more.
Myth: Nutrisystem food is too expensive
Truth: You can save over 25% versus eating on your own.
Myth: The people in Nutrisystem ads are paid actors.
Truth: The ads only feature people who have truly found weight loss success using Nutrisystem.
Myth: Nutrisystem doesn’t offer one-on-one counseling or support.
Truth: Nutrisystem has trained weight loss counselors, nutritionists and diabetes educators.
Want to know more about Nutrisystem and sort out truth from fiction? Watch the video for lots more mythbusting and get the facts for yourself:
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and there were lots of reminders about keeping the chocolates away from the fur kids, but do you know what other foods you should avoid feeding your pets?
