It doesn’t exactly feel like it today (we’re chilly at 45
degrees) but Spring is here. My love of themes makes me a teensy bit OCD on
keeping things seasonal. So from my adult beverages to my sneakers it makes me
happy if they correspond to Spring, even if it doesn’t actually feel like
Spring. Of course because I’m the mama, the pups just have to go along with my
craziness.
My friend Lisa has worn Converse Chuck Taylors since I met
her nearly ten years ago. I swore up and down I never would. Well wouldn’t you
know it but last year they came out with a lovely floral pair and they got me
hook, line and sinker. Unfortunately they were a limited edition pair, but you
might be able to find them somewhere out there on the web still. The Marley LillyDry Sport Pullover in this Springy color would match so nicely! I don’t own it
but it’s exactly the kind of thing I would wear to walk the dogs while it’s
still in between the winter thaw and higher temperatures. And let’s be honest,
it’s monogrammed so what’s not to love?
A few months ago I stumbled onto the Hello Merch website and
saw the gray floral print tee. This week I got a notification it had gone on
sale (a super deal!) and luckily they still had my size so I ordered it right
up. I can just see myself rocking it
with a nice cold Blue Moon First Peach Ale in my hand. If you like the fruity
beers and haven’t tried this yet, do yourself a favor and go grab a six pack.
Right now. The only other thing you’ll need to really put you in the Spring
frame of mind is a Country Fresh smelling home. Pop one of the wax melts into
your warmer and just wait for the smell of a country meadow to assault your
nose (in the best possible way).
Spring means blooming flowers, green grass and leafy trees. It
also means the bugs come back. Lots of ‘em. We keep Ares and Chaos protected
from fleas, ticks and worms with Revolution. There is both a topical solution that’s
super easy to apply and a small pill to accompany it. If you have trouble
giving your dog a pill give Cheez-whiz a try. Just squirt a little on the pill
and let him lick it off your finger. We’ve given the tip to many dog owners and
so far it’s worked every time. But in our house the cheese is only for taking
medicine. We like to keep their treats limited to the doggie variety and these Healthy Dogma Duck Barkers are on our list to try.
As the weather warms up we will be spending more time
walking at our local parks and it definitely wouldn’t hurt to have new fun
leashes. I love the gray and yellow combo from B.W. Barkery. When we walk in
the winter I am always wearing a coat with pockets to hold essentials like
treats, keys, my phone and poop bags. But when it’s warm enough to switch to
tanks and tees I lose my pockets and my storage space. Last year I ordered PetSafe Treat Pouches for Chris and I and we have not been disappointed. The waist
strap is adjustable and removable in case you just want to clip it to a belt.
There are two compartments to the pouch, the main on that you can push open and
it will stay open or keep it closed and the outside one that has Velcro. I keep
treats in the main compartment and my phone, keys and bags in the outer
compartment and it works out very nicely.
My boys love a good rope toy but the problem is that mighty
jaws Chaos can destroy one in seconds. Something with a ball on the end like this
Zanies one makes it better to withstand his bite and pull hard play style. Ares
is much more into playing fetch than Chaos but if we get him excited enough
about the toy he will join in. We just have to make sure he doesn’t run off
with it and quickly tear it to shreds.
Are you a seasonal person like me? What’s on your list to
break out again or try new for Spring?
