Thank You
On Memorial Day there are so many millions of men & women to thank. The ones who served & the ones who stayed behind to keep the home fires burning.
The best we can do is offer up a humble & heartfelt thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
BlogPaws Delivered On The Dog Swag!
Well I have to admit that the wait was worth it. The doggy loot that my mom person shipped home from BlogPaws is amazing!
I couldn’t wait to check it out.
Oh my word, the smells are amazing!
This box is packed full!
Baaah, now they want me to sit still for pictures?
Okay, hurry up & get the shot so I can start sampling!
I did actually feel bad that the kitties didn’t get much.
It was hard to decide what to try first. I decided on a Kong Dental Chew.
Yum, 2 paws up! We’ll be doing a reviews and giveaways on several of these products on Pet Blogs United, so keep your eyes open.
Mother Nature Is Not Very Nice, But The UPS Man Is
Yesterday here in Waterford it was 81 degrees. Today it is 43, yes you read that right 43 degrees! Almost a 40 degree difference in 24 hours.
This is my patented “not amused” face.
I do admit that for most of the day, I let my bad mood take hold & then this happened!
Oh my dog it’s here! The fabled BlogPaws swag box.
I gotta go, my mom person says we can open the box now! Stay tuned.
Oh The People We Meet!
While I wait for my box of BlogPaws swag to arrive I wanted to tell you about some of the people my mom person met while she was there.
She met some of our very best blogging buddies!
In the middle is Kevin, MeowMeowMans, from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life, his wife Tracey & Terry of Brian’s Home, Flat Brian & Flat Oskar.
These are just a few of the people she met along with Elyse from Adventures of a Cattle Dog, Sugar the Golden Retriever’s mom, Dolly the Doxie & her mom, Mayzie’s mom, Nitro & his mom from Deaf Dogs Rock, Glogirly, Preston from Preston Speaks, and too many more to even name here.
I’ll have more to tell you in the coming days!
She’s Back From BlogPaws But…
There’s a lot of good news about my mom person’s trip to BlogPaws & she made it home safe & sound.
BlogPaws is known for great swag. Tons of stuff that she brings home for me to try out. New treats to try, new products to review. Just check out this picture of Flat Oskar with the contents of the BlogPaws swag bag.
So when she got home Sunday, I couldn’t wait for her to empty her suitcase so I could see all the goodies she brought for me. Here’s a photo…
Can you see the look on my face? That’s all that she brought home with her. And they’re cat treats!
The good news is that she said she got so many pawsome things for me to try out, she had to have them shipped home. They should be here on Thursday or Friday.
She did have the good grace to feel bad that she forgot to pack any treats in her suitcase for me. I think this will come in handy when the box does come. I think the guilt factor will encourage her to be very generous.
Tomorrow she’ll have a post about some of the great people she met. For now I’m just biding my time and working on my sad face so that she feels the appropriate amount of guilt, guaranteeing me a great payoff when the box of goodies does finally come.
And Away She Goes!
So my mom person is putting the finishing touches on her packing. I’m still trying to figure out how to sneak into her suitcase.
She’s going to try sending lots of Instagram photo’s out, you can follow her on Instagram at Phoerauf.
She’ll also be tweeting, hopefully, and you can follow her there on @PetBlogsUnited.
One thing she’s most excited about is meeting Kevin (MeowMeowMans) & his wife Tracy from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life. They’ve been blogging buddies forever and meeting people that she blogs with is her favorite part of BlogPaws.
She’s not going to take her laptop, so there probably won’t be any BlogPaws related posts while she’s gone unless she can find a way to post from her Kindle Fire.
I’ll be back to blogging soon!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s day to all of you mom people out there.
Here’s a picture of me with my first mom, Shelley.
I’m not quite sure which one I am, but if you see the excessively handsome on, that’s me.
That is an old picture of me & my mom person because she didn’t feel like taking a new one today & since it is Mother’s Day I let her off the hook.
Here’s my mom person with my boys, John & Jack. She tells them that they are the best thing that ever happened to her, but I have a suspicion that she tells them that so they don’t feel bad that I’m her favorite.
My mom person & I are going to lay in bed & read until later today when we get to go see her mom person, better known as my monnie, for a BBQ.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day to everyone who is a mom person to someone else!
Thanks to the amazing Ann at Zoolatry the the pawsome graphic!
Guess Who’s Leaving Me Behind To Go To #BlogPaws?
Someone named Mr. FTC wants me to make sure that I tell you that Iams is paying for my mom person to go to BlogPaws and also that they provide me & the kitties who live here with Iams food. We are proud Iams bloggers!
Yep, once again my mom person is going to BlogPaws & once again I’m not going with her. Something about my lack of manners. A weak excuse if I’ve ever heard one.
You know who does get to go? Flat Oskar, a poor stand in for the real thing I say. Flat Oskar is cool & was made with love by our good buddy Bev at Iams (@BeVaZa), but he just can’t give the public the true picture of my excessive handsomeness.
Iams is my mom persons sponsor for the event & who better to tell folks about how great Iams food is than me, the one who actually eats it? I’ve never seen her eat any of my Iams Prime Naturals dog food!
And another thing, we would’t have a great sponsor like Iams if they hadn’t noticed this blog, The Daily Oskar back in 2011. They didn’t contact her about a blog called The Daily Mom Person. Just sayin…
Do you get to go to BlogPaws?
Harley Has Male Pattern Baldness!
I just found a new friend named Harley. He doesn’t have a blog, his mom person is old friends with my mom person. And I do mean they’re old, BOL!
Harley lives in the UP of Michigan. It’s called that because it’s the “up” part of Michigan. What?…Hmm, my mom person say it’s called the UP for Upper Peninsula, but that’s silly because it is up.
Here’s a map of where Harley is from.
You can see that he is really, really up there. I bet he has to be careful not to wander too far away or he could fall in Lake Superior.
Harley has a unique hair issue.
He’s kinda, sorta, well…bald.
Now I thought someone had just been mean & shaved a strip of his back furs off, but no the vet says he has male pattern baldness.
Harley is kind of embarrassed about his bald patch, but I wanted to let him know that it’s okay. We’re all different & I think his patch makes him look like kind of a rebel. His name is Harley, he’s like a cool motorcycle dude with a shaved patch because he’s a bada$$.
He has a brofur named Sammy.
Sammy is the older brofur and he makes sure that Harley knows that he is special.
Since Harley doesn’t have a blog, I thought maybe you guys could leave him a message in my comments telling him that it’s okay to be an individual and that his spot makes him look extra cool!
