Bring Your Dog To Work Day

Dog Tie one on with a neck tie that’s gone to the dogs

They say that a dog is man’s best friend.

I disagree. I believe that a dog is a woman’s best friend for the majority of the time, unless the man has bacon in his pocket.

Next Friday is National Bring Your Dog to Work Day, so I’m going to make sure my sensational Scotty, Madison, makes a good first impression on the boss with this cool Poochie Dog Tie from Fetch Dog.

Maybe she’ll even get a temp job out of it.  She can fetch just about anything.

Follow My Dog on Twitter

puppy tweetsPuppy Tweets make a sweet puppy tweet (I mean treat) for your dog

I had to take my dog to the vet this weekend.

My one sick dog had been scratching uncontrollably and ripping out colossal clumps of fur due to allergies and a bacterial infection. Fortunately, the scratching has ceased thanks to a few strong petscriptions. Unfortunately, the antibiotics and steroids she’s on have caused her to drink more… and pee more.

This doesn’t bode well while she’s home alone during my 9 hour work day.

If only she could tweet me:

My Dog: I need to pee. Stat.@BestDogMomEvR
Me: I’ll be home in 15 minutes. Hold it.@ZoeyK9
My Dog: Yeah, good luck with that.@BestDogMomEvR

Oh wait, now she can totally jump on the Twitter train, thanks to the new innovative and very pupular Puppy Tweets social networking device from X-treme Geek that is slowly sweeping the dog nation.

All the cool dogs at the dog park are doing it. = )

The Perfect Pawtrait

pet portraits from photos

Pet portraits from photos - Turn a photo of your pet into a custom portrait

Something I’ve noticed recently amongst dog owners is that every pup parent thinks their dog is the cutest dog at the dog park.

Whether they own a doberman with a drooling problem, a mastiff with a massive underbite or a pug with a rather fugly face, they firmly believe that their precious canine is the most adorable mutt ever to tinkle on a fire hydrant. 

Now you can celebrate and immortalize that face that only a pet owner could love. Treat yourself and man’s best friend to a piece of custom artwork that captures your dog’s likeness to a t (as in terrier) with Luna Toons Custom Pet Portraits from In the Company of Dogs.

Best of all, your pooch doesn’t even need to pose, sit, stay or heel for this pawtrait.

Chip Off the Old Craft Block

craft blocks

Craft blocks – KraftyBlok glass blocks for endless crafting possibilities

I’m crafty.

Allow me to clarify. I am not by any stretch of the imagination considered a deceitful, underhanded, cunning or sly person.  I am crafty in the literal arts and crafts sense of the word. I paint, I Photoshop, I stencil, I sew, I quilt. If you can think it, I can craft it.

I didn’t score my Creative Director title for being anti-crafty.

I’ve been working diligently on my granddaughter’s quilt that will be completed any day now, so I’ll need a new crafting project to keep my idle hands busy. Thankfully, I just found a new crafting wonder that will keep me occupied for hours on end – the KraftyBlok craft block from Delphi Glass.

I Resolve to Rehydrate

hydration products

Oral rehydration solution – Rehydrate and detoxify with Q-Hydrate528

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to drink more healthy fluids. Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been feeling more and more dehydrated. At work, while walking the dog, at the gym. I even feel dehydrated while I’m drinking a tall glass of water.

Thanks to Q-HYDRATE528™ Oral Rehydration Solution from IVL, I can provide my body with all of the trace minerals it needs.  From magnesium to potassium, my body is getting all of the nutrients it craves, quickly and efficiently with just 3/4 of a teaspoon a day.

Finally, a resolution that I can rock.

This year, I’m thankful for Bowel EZ

bowel support

Bowel support for when your bowels become irritable during Thanksgiving

I’m a healthy eater 364 days of the year but on Thanksgiving Day,  all of my healthy eating habits go out the window. 

Turkey, yams, white meat, dark meat, thick gravy, cranberry relish, greenbean casserole, buttermilk biscuits, creamed corn, 5 kinds of pie… if it’s on the table, it’s going in my stomach.

Fast forward a half hour later, and my bowels will begin to seek their revenge. I don’t want to have to regret a single bite of holiday spread, so this year I’m arming myself with Bowel EZ Bowel Support from ProHealth.

This is going to be the best Thanksgiving ever…

I feel it in my gut.

Tao for two

herbal stress remedies  

Herbal stress remedy with Tao strength stress relief in a bottle

Stress is a many unsplendored thing.

Yes, I realize that unsplendored isn’t technically a word, but I’m not going to stress about it. Although I do seem to stress over everything else in my life.  Like any other woman of the new millenium, I stress over the big things and the little things…from my kids and their health to my job, meeting deadlines at the end of the month and my cat George. With every day that goes by, I find myself sweating over the small stuff and crying out “Calgon, take me away!”

Sadly, Calgon bubbles don’t live up to the hype and I don’t have a genie in a bottle that will grant my wish for stress free satisfaction, but I do have Tao in a Bottle – the Herbal Stress Remedy  from Ron Teeguarden’s Dragon Herbs that totally rubs me the right way.

Cause I don’t eats me Spinach

all day energy greens

All Day Energy Greens for maximum energy all day, every day

When it comes to favorite comic strip heroes, Popeye the Sailor Man is right up there with Wolverine. From those killer forearms to that wicked anchor tattoo and cackle of a laugh, I’ve always wished that I had at least an ounce of Popeye’s superhuman strength…the only problem? I don’t like spinach. Actually, I hates it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s super packed with nutrients, iron and things that do a body good, but when it comes to dinner, I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.  

I may not be a big veggie man, but now I can get all of my fortified vitamins and minerals with a canister of All Day Energy Greens from the Institute for Vibrant Living.

My Pappy would be so proud.

ET Phone Flask home

phone flask  

Phone flask that makes you want to answer every phone call

I love my phone.  I love martinis.  Best of all, I love martinis in my phone.

This innovative Phone Flask from Gunther Gifts is better than any iPhone app I’ve downloaded in the past few months. It allows you to conveniently carry your spirits wherever you go, and if people on the street give you a dirty look for taking a mid-day swig, you can simply pretend you’re on the phone with your mother.

This Transformers Pinata celebrates the birthday girl or boy, while celebrating the new blockbuster release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 3-D. Every party needs a big whopping Pull String Pinata in the shape of Optimus Prime. He wages battles against evil forces and can be filled with delicious mini-Snickers bars. What more could a birthday girl ask for?

The big chill

cooper wine chiller

Cooper wine chiller chills your wine in no time

My fridge is always packed with perishables and I don’t always have room for all of the whites in my wine rack, which is why I’m crazy about this Cooper Wine Chiller from Wineracks.com.

Ideal for the wine connoisseur or hostess who may not have a lot of extra refrigerator space, the Cooper Wine Chiller chills your white wines in no time for a perfect glass whenever an unexpected guest drops by. Just pop a bottle in and you’ll have a properly chilled chablis at a moment’s notice, cooled to a sublime serving temperature.
