Shampoo for spoiled pups

Okay, how funny are these? We’ve all seen TIGI’s Bed Head products – and now they have Pet Head! Of course Brad and I had to buy it for the dogs. They have hilarious product names like “Life’s An Itch, Fears for Tears, and Feeling Flaky.” We tried the “So Spoiled” conditioner – and it actually works great! It really made the pups coat soft – and it smells really good, too. You’ve got to check out their website for some really funny dog photos. Genius idea!

Wednesday Friendsday

Nala Tussing is today’s Wednesday Friendsday pup – isn’t she beautiful?? Nala is one lucky pup, not only does she get to live in Napa Valley, but she has the world’s most amazing mommy! I met Karen (aka “KT”) when working for E&J Gallo Winery, we had so much together at the Louis M. Martini tasting room in St. Helena. I am so blessed to have her in my life, she is such a beautiful person inside and out!I miss her dearly, but it’s great to keep in touch now over our love of golden retrievers (and animals in general)!

Nala is quite tech-saavy, she even has her own facebook account! I find myself stalking her page quite frequently, because she has the cutest pictures and hilarious wall posts. Quincey also checks out her pics quite a bit (they have been in a long-distance relationship for over a year now!). Quincey snagged a good one, Nala is one beautiful pup. He loves his girlfriend 🙂

Fright of Fireworks

Is your dog afraid of fireworks? We found out Quincey was afraid last Fourth of July.. the hard way. Last year was our first Fourth of July with Quincey, he was never afraid of loud noises before so we didn’t even think that he would get spooked from fireworks. We took him to my parents house to celebrate the holiday, and went to the golf course behind their home with the rest of the family to watch the big firework show. Quincey wasn’t leashed because he never leaves Brad side. However, the first pop of the firework caused Quincey to bolt. He disappeared into my parent’s dark neighborhood, and wouldn’t come when we called his name – and we couldn’t find him for 2 HOURS! My parents live in a really dark neighborhood with no street lights, so it was impossible to find him. We were driving up and down the neighborhood, searching in people’s yards with flashlights (causing one neighbor to call the police – no joke!) – I was a wreck!  Finally, Brad got a call on his cell phone from a neighbor who found him by their front door, and called the number on Quincey’s collar. The best phone call we have ever received!!

Bottom line, even if you think your dog is the bravest of them all – LEASH YOUR DOG if you are going to be outside this holiday. You never know how they will react. It is best to keep them indoors if you can, and leave the TV on for them to distract them from the loud noises. Here is a great article on other tips on protecting your dog this Independence Day.

Wishing you and your pup a happy and safe Fourth of July!!
