Hill's Pet Nutrition In Action!

This post is brought to you by Hills Pet Nutrition. All opinions are 100% mine.


Zipping here, jumping there, whipping past, bounding fast!
Alpha –our 2-year old sprightly, springy mini pinscher—is a mobile force to reckon with.  She’s the Tasmanian Devil doggified!
But, while she brings a whole lot of life to the household, we do worry about her legs.  They do take a pounding with every fast action adventure she gets her tiny body into.  What if she hurts her joints?  What if she suddenly lags?  Or worse, loses flexibility and mobility altogether?  I don’t think my poor little heart can take it!

To this worry wart pet parent’s rescue, heeere’s Hill’s Pet Nutrition!
HIll's is revolutionary health food specifically formulated to bring back the spring in your pet’s step.  It has high levels of omega-3 fatty acids for enhanced active mobility and improved joint flexibility.  EPA, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for essential bone and joint cartilage support.  High-quality lean proteins for lean muscle and ideal body weight.  And it’s a clinically proven antioxidant blend for healthy immune function.

The moment Alpha starts showing early signs of joint health problems and flexibility issues, I’m definitely going for that life-changing experience only the precise balanced nutrition of Hill’s Science Diet can offer.  Super diet for future super dogs, you think?  That's Hill's Pet Nutrition.

But what’s got me more excited is the fact that this amazing product also comes with an amazing deal.
Register now at Hill's Healthy Mobility Coupon Challenge and improve your dog’s mobility health in 30 days.   Plus, get $30 in coupon offers, and automatically bag a chance to be one of 30 Sweepstakes prize winners to receive FREE PET FOOD for a year!
For our furry baby ball of energy, nothing gets better than that!

Oh –what do you know—it just got better.  There's Hill's Pet Nutrition on Facebook where I can upload Alpha’s high-octane, action-packed photos to.

Woot!   Or should I say, Woof?

Pet Mom Gone Practical

Pet mommies with a knack for fashion and practicality... this blog is for you.

You know that joy-joy feeling you get when you realize you can fit into your old clothes again?  And then this feeling is overshadowed by a spasmic cringe when you realize your old clothes are just so '80's beyond good taste?
Here's an easy cure.

I've got this over-the-hill Madonna-type lace and denim ensemble which can actually be passable for a casual rocker chick theme... if it weren't a floor-length Siouxie and the Banshees number.  Egad!  All that lace and denim can send an innocent bystander to hurl!

Quick fix --quick trim.
But what the hell do you do with all that chopped-off fabric?  Ah, here is where your quiet little pet --who a few minutes ago was minding her own business in a corner-- gets dragged into the mess.  With nothing more than your old Home Economics sewing kit, start measuring, snipping, and getting your needle and thread motion going. 

Hey, presto!  Instant park dress for the family pooch, Alpha! 
I made use of a couple of buttons to clasp the whole thing up top.  Then cut off a couple of strips for shoulder straps affixing them with buttons and tying them together in a rough bow.  I made use of mismatched buttons, by the way.  Just to match the zany disposition of the lace and denim combo.
ALPHA:  "Why do I need a dress for??  I love nudity!"

I kept the bottom part free to accommodate Alpha's leg movements.  Hey, just because she's dressed like a lady, it doesn't mean she's going to move demurely.  Keeping the bottom part free also allows the dress to billow nicely.
ALPHA:  "Ok, nobody consulted me about this!  I want my lawyer!"

Oh, goody!  Now we have matching outfits for a glorious day out in the park!
ALPHA:  "Oh dear God!  Don't embarrass me, woman..."
