Now that it’s cooling off a bit around here, I love putting on my cozy fleece PJ pants when I cuddle up with Daisy at the end of the day…or really anytime of day since I work from home! I’m usually a bare foot girl around the house, but recently my feet and muscles have been kinda sore due to all the extra walking I’m trying to do these days. If you hadn’t heard the big news, Woof Woof Papa and I are on a weight loss journey together!

Luckily, I can slip on my super comfy new memory foam slippers from Nature’s Sleep and pamper my tootsies! They not only match my cozy striped PJ pants that I love so much, but they are also incredibly soothing on sore feet. They come in other colors for men and women so don’t worry if the one’s shown here don’t match YOUR favorite lounge wear! There’s also an open-toed style if that’s more your thing.

Because they are made with a special memory foam, they are designed to distributes weight to reduce pressure points and improve circulation. In addition to having great support and cushion, I also love that these slippers have a good sole with tread on the bottom so they are non-slippery on hard floors and perfect for a quick trip to the mailbox or to take Daisy out for a potty break.  Since I’m wearing them so much now, I’m also glad they are easy to spot clean and are machine washable, too!

Nature’s Sleep doesn’t just make slippers. They also offer memory foam pillows, mattresses, toppers and evenb PET BEDS!

Nutrisystem Week 1 Update: Getting Started – Unpacking All The Food! #NSNation

Nutrisystem Delivery Pantry Items

Last week I shared the exciting news that Daisy’s Papa and I were starting Nutrisystem weight loss program! Over the next 4 months we’ll be giving you weekly updates on our progress, plus letting you know what we learn and like along the way.

Now that we’ve completed the first week, I thought I’d start by giving you an idea of what to expect when you start the program. My first bit of advice is to choose your start day ahead of time. Many people choose to start on a Monday, but I suggest Saturday as the best start day if you work during the week. It gives you time to get organized and learn how things work. It can all seem a little overwhelming at first, but having the weekend as your first few days gives you the chance to figure it all out and get set up with all the great resources and tools available to members!

Fun and Tasty Bugsy’s Box – New Mystery Box Subscription for Dogs!

Bugsy's Box mystery box subscription for dogs

There’s a new monthly box subscription service for dogs called Bugsy’s Box and Daisy had the chance to check it out! If you aren’t already familiar with box subscriptions, you do NOT know what you are missing! There are all kinds of box subscription services these days with themes ranging from beauty items, to healthy snacks for people, to ones like Bugsy’s Box with fun stuff for dogs.

Each Bugsy’s Box includes 5 to 7 items with a variety of hand-selected dog treats, toys, grooming items and more surprises such as coupons and other random bonus inclusions. Different items are chosen for each month.

The idea is to let pet parents spoil our dogs with exclusive and high quality specialty items that are different from what you find in stores, at less than retail cost. You save time and money, and get to try stuff you wouldn’t normally know about…that’s really the best part about all the mystery box services we’ve tried – discovering so much cool new stuff!

And speaking of cool new stuff, the box we received had LOTS! We LOVE the Viva La Dog Spa Facial Wipes, made from cotton just like at the spa, with chamomile, rosemary, raspberry and sage. So luxurious! And there were also so special Halloween-themed treats in SPOOKtacular scary shapes, from Barkaroo Bakery, and fancy Spoil Me Rotten hand-crafted, organic gourmet biscuits that smell and taste just like a fruit smoothie!

We were also super excited to receive a few items from Warren London, a brand we recognize but haven’t had the chance to try yet. I’m looking forward to using the Fizz Tablet in Daisy’s bath soon and giving her a PAWdicure!

Petlou Monkey Stick

No box subscription for dogs would be complete without including a fabulous toy and Daisy was not disappointed! She spotted the Pelou Monkey Stick as soon as we opened the box and could not keep her paws off it! She seriously does not want to let go of it and loves the crinkle noises and squeaky sounds it makes as well as how soft it is. I even caught her “talking” to her new monkey pal with the funniest hound dog noises I’ve ever heard her make! It does have stuffing in it so we have to be careful not to let her rip it open, which she is prone to do…it’s a good idea to supervise your dog with toys if they are hard on them. Both for safety and to make toys last longer!

If you’d like to order a Bugsy’s Box for your own pup or set up a gift order for that special furry friend, there are 3 different subscription options. You can select the monthly option at $29, the 3-month plan for $63, or the best value: the 6-month plan for $102 (42% OFF).

As a special discount for our readers and pals, Bugsy is  offering 10% OFF your first month of the Bugsy’s Box Monthly Plan. Just make sure to use Bugsy’s Box Promo Code WOOFWOOFMAMA when you order! Visit bugsysbox.com for more info and to start your order!

Varsity Ball: World’s Toughest Dog Toy – Guaranteed Indestructible {Daisy Tested!}

October 8, 2012
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

If your dog is like Daisy you are probably sick of spending money on dog toys, only to have them destroyed as soon as you get them home. Not only is it a waste of money, but there is always the risk of your dog eating the pieces of the toy once they’ve ripped it apart.

We’d heard about Varsity Ball and their 110% Guaranteed indestructible toy and were super excited at the invitation for Daisy and her boyfriend Fin to put it to the test. If you aren’t already familiar with it, Varsity Ball is a dog toy designed for use by large, athletic, and high-energy dogs such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherd Dogs, Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers and more.  It’s perfect as a toy for herding dogs, a toy for working dogs, a toy for big dogs, a toy for tough dogs, a toy for athletic dogs, or a toy for high-energy dogs.

Not only do many police dog trainers use it with their dogs, but it’s also even been tested in zoos! They’ve sold thousands, with zero busted. Check out the 1-minute video to see what I mean:

Now Daisy is only about 50 pounds, and Fin is 75lbs but the two of them together can destroy almost anything. So I took the Varsity Ball to our dog park and let them have at it! They ran, they chased, they jumped on it and even tried to eat it. As you can see…they fought the ball, but THE BALL WON!

Daisy and Fin test the indestructible dog toy Varsity Ball

That’s what you want in a dog toy…for it to last longer than the dogs playing with it, and really tire them out. As they say, a tired dog is a GOOD dog!  Daisy also really enjoys “herding” it around inside our place on rainy days (which we have a lot of right now). Basically, if you want something to both entertain and exercise your dog, then you can’t go wrong with Varsity Ball. And don’t worry if yellow isn’t your thing. It also comes in white and orange.

Varsity Balls are made in the USA and are 110% guaranteed to be indestructible – if your dog breaks it, they’ll replace the ball plus 10% of your purchase price! 

If you’d like to get one for your dog, they are available at Varsity Pets for $39.99 plus $11.99 for shipping. Don’t freak out about the cost of shipping…the ball is LARGE (12″ in diameter) and heavy-duty (3.5 pounds) so it costs more to ship, but is totally worth it considering their indestructible-ness! It also makes a great gift for those big dogs in your family! Visit VarsityPetsOnline.com for more product info and details about the guarantee.

Newman’s Own Organics: Healthy Treats for Pets AND People!

October 3, 2012

candy, snacks and cookies from newman's own organics

We are always on the lookout for heathier snacks and all-natural treats for ourselves and for Daisy. Our search recently led us to Newman’s Own Organics. As the name implies, the company was co-founded by Paul Newman and the products are certified organic by Oregon Tilth. We’ve spent the past couple of weeks sampling several yummy items and wanted to let you know about a few of our favorites.

I’ve never been that much of a sweet tooth, but I do admit to loving sour candies and licorice so the Newman’s Own Organics  Licorice Twists are a winner in my book! In addition to traditional black licorice, which you either love or hate depending on what kind of person you are, they also have sour varieties that make my mouth water just thinking about them. I also discovered Pomegranate Licorice Twists which are my newest favorite thing!

Daisy’s Papa and I also really love the Honey Wheat Pretzels, the Hermit Cookies and their 100% Premium Organic Chocolate Bars, especially the Espresso Dark Chocolate with 54% Cocoa (I said I wasn’t a sweet tooth but anything with dark chocolate and espresso should count as its own food group in my book!).

Not only do they make amazing candy, pretzels, cookies and other snacks for humans, but they also have a line of pet products which Daisy has been hard at work testing! These Newman’s Own Organics products are also certified organic and made with all-natural ingredients.
