Goldzilla

Everyday around 11 am my humans get present in this thing called a mailbox. But, today, I received an awesome postcard reminding me that the Goldzilla event is coming up soon.

Goldzilla is RAGOM's (Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota, the company that rescued my mom from a puppy mill) annul fundraising event. I am so excited to finally be able to attend this fun, furry event.

My goal is to raise $250.00 for the Goldzilla. Right now, with the help of many, we have raised $130.00! If you would like to donate to this organization that rescues Golden and Golden Mixes from Minnesota and the surrounding states please click HERE.

Tasty Tuesday: Nature's Recipe Dog Food and Treats

A couple of weeks ago I participated in #BlogPawsChat on Twitter and won a coupon for free bag Nature's Recipe Dog Food and a bag of their Dog Treats.


On thing I love about this product, you can see what is in the bag before you buy it. Doesn't it look yummy???

I want to know what dog food does your dog(s) eat? Why did you choose that food?

In honor of Tongue out Tuesday, here is my pal Emma from My GBGV Life and myself enjoying the great outdoors!

Spencer's Pit Stops: Two-Story Outhouse

Introducing Spencer's Pit Stops!

This new series will showcase my adventures on the road, or shall I say my pit stops. There is so much out there at many don't know about. I hope, through this series, I can find these hidden gems.

Yes, you are seeing a two-story outhouse! Back in the late 1800's when a new family purchased the house, they added this two-story outhouse to accommodate their large family. This interesting find can be found in Southern Minnesota. 

Many of you are wondering how this works. The bottom outhouse seat is positioned more in the middle of the outhouse. There is a "shoot" at the back of the bottom outhouse that sends the above waste down to the ground. 

There is just something about outhouses that makes them so interesting. Maybe, because there are hardly never two that are alike. Or maybe, they remind me of a simple time of life. But, I can say, finding a two-story outhouse is definitely rare.

I want to hear from you: Have you ever seen a two-story or an interesting outhouse? Do you have any interesting "Pit Stops" you would like to share?

PetzLife Bath-Eaze Waterless Shampoo + Conditioner Review

I'm excited to introduce to you another one of PetzLife's wonderful product: Bath-Eaze Waterless Shampoo + Conditioner. 

This product came in handy yesterday after I went for my first ever "real" swim. By the time I got home I still had that "wet dog" smell and some of my hair was matted. But have no fear for Bath-Eaze was here.

This product is simple and easy to use. First you spray this product on your pet. Next you rub it into their fur. And finally you wipe your pet clean! I now smell so good you could almost smell me through your computer. Not to mention, I'm now as soft as a teddy bear, again.

This product comes in two different sizes: 16 oz bottle and a 4 oz bottle that is handy to have when you are on the go.

I was suprised at how well the Bath-Eaze worked, especially on my tail. My mom had no problems combing out my tangles and I enjoyed all the extra attention. 

If you would like to learn more about this product and many other products PetzLife carries, you can find them here: Website, Facebook, and Twitter.

Thoughtless Thursday: Red Family

Here in Minnesota people are split on lots of topics, such as, you are either a Vikings fan, a Packer fan or don't like football. Another topic that has people split on, you either like red tractors or green tractors.

This topic has dogs picking sides as well. Wanting to stay loyal to my humans and most of all my grandpa, I am proud to support red tractors or Case IH tractors.

My grandpa alway says, "Green is for crops, Red is for tractors."

With that being said here I am supporting International Harvester by sporting my new bandana.

A couple of months ago you might remember me showing off my Case IH toy tractor. My combine looks almost like the one my Grandpa has.

How can I do a post on Thursday without having a flashback picture. Here is me in 2008 dressed up as a farmer, of course sporting an International Harvester hat.

Art Project With Your Dog

I'm excited to show you two different DIY projects that are easy and inexpensive to do with your pet. The first project is capturing their paw prints on paper. The second is making decorative art work for your house, while using those paw prints.

Supplies:

Tag Board (any size, the bigger the more paw prints you can get)

Acrylic Paint (any color)

Container Lid 

Cutting Mat

Cuter or Scissors 

Picture Frames (any sizes, as many as you want)

Rub On Decals (you can find at your local art and craft store)

Pictures (as many as you want)

We put the tag board on a small cardboard table outside. Then poured some paint on the lid to use as a "tray." After dipping my paw in the paint, my mom just played around with different placement, pressures, and amount of paint. The best part was afterwards, I got to go swimming to "wash" the paint off my paw and it all came off with no problems.

Once inside we took out the glass from the picture frames and placed it just right on the tag board. Then, using the cutter we traced the edge of the glass to get the right cut.

After the paw prints were cut out and placed in the frames, we applied the decals. They say:

"A true friend leaves paw prints on your heart." "My Dog."

Looking back we should have chosen a different color of paint so the letters would pop out more, but maybe next time.

Since we had so many decals left over we put them to use on my treat jar.

And there you have it easy, inexpensive project you can do to showcase your dog.
