Green Dog Egg Nog!

Posted: 22 Dec 2009 04:05 AM PST

Who doesn't like a good cup of Nog...by the Holiday tree, roaring fire, inside with our favorite humans, keeping warm from the cold and snow!

Even us pups can enjoy a good cup of Nog, here's our favorite recipe for Green Dog Egg Nog!

  • 1 container plain low fat, organic yogurt
  • 1 jar of organic baby food (seasonal veggies and meat is our favorite), or you can make your own by adding some boiled unseasoned chicken, carrots, green beans, a little yam or plain pumpkin to your food processor and blend smooth).
  • 1 free range egg
  • 1 1/2 cups filtered water

Blend all ingredients and serve in stainless steel bowls with a sprinkling of ground flax seed, and top with a nice banana slice. Be sure and refrigerate unused portions.

It's a great refreshing treat after a day of playing in the snow!

Giving back this Holiday season!

Posted: 21 Dec 2009 05:03 AM PST

One of the biggest beliefs we have about being green, is giving back to those less fortunate!

See that little shelter below? That's where I was staying at the Southside Animal Shelter when I first met my Mum the day she adopted me.

I was there with my biological Mum, and my four brothers and sisters. My sisters were adopted first, then Mum saw the pic below of me and my brother on Petfinder.com, and she immediately jumped in the car and drove the hour to the shelter and adopted me on the spot.

The rest is history....

Throughout the year, we gather up any profits we make through our blogs and websites, and then donate 10% of those profits to a no-kill rescue or shelter.

This year, we've taken that a step further. As part of Johann's Second Annual Howling Howliday Giveaway, we decided to provide a way for those that have supported us throughout the year to donate to the very same shelter that gave me my second chance - the Southside Animal Shelter.

If it weren't for these nice folks in Indianapolis, I wouldn't have my furever, wonderful, green home...and wouldn't be able to bring you all the helpful, green information that we do each week.

We set a goal of $500 to help the Southside Animal Shelter, and have only reached a little over 25% of our goal so far.

Can you help? Just a few $$ would go a long way in helping this shelter rescue and find loving, furever homes for some pawsome pups - just like they did for me.

If you can spare a few...click on the donate button below. I know that the pups at the Southside Animal Shelter will be forever grateful!

If you'd like to donate through PayPal directly to Southside, click here for their donation page...and make sure you tell 'em Johann sent ya :)

Santa Claus is comin' to town...

Posted: 21 Dec 2009 06:33 AM PST

We were informed by our good friends, Katie & Kelly, that we are supposed to write a letter to Santa asking for toys and then he leaves them under our tree on Christmas. Mrs. Elizabeth told us that we have to be reallllllly good this week and we will for sure get some goodies!

Here is our letter to Santa. It's just our rough draft, we would love to hear about any new toys that we may have not heard of before.

Dear Santa Paws,
We have been super good this year. Well, except for a couple times, but we can explain all of that later. We definitely promise to be super good next year. This year could be like a "pay it forward" year. Just in case you are feeling generous, we are going to go ahead and leave some requests.
First off, we would really love some new food bowls. It gets really boring looking at the same ol' plastic bowls all the time.
We would also like some new toys- we heard about some that have treats inside of them and also some that make noise. Both sound rather enjoyable. Also, mom & dad never buy us any toys that we can destroy (like ropes or anything with fabric). We would really like to have some destroy-able toys.
Also, some big treats would be great. We prefer the beef flavored, but we'll let you decide what you think is best.
New harnesses and leashes. We are so last season with the ones we have now. An update would be great. Mom & dad always get us the step-in kind so we can't pull as much, but we promise not to pull if you get us something more stylish.
And last, but not least, we would really like to unlimited access to outside. We love it out there but for some reason, we can't go out whenever we want. (that's where those ugly harnesses come in)
With mucho love,
Doby & Lola

P.S. from Lola- Doby has been much worse than me. If you want to bring more pink toys than blue toys, that would be ok.

DogQuality: Orthopedic Dog Bed Test Results


Orthopedic Dog Bed Test Results

Posted: 19 Dec 2009 07:30 PM PST

We did this video as a follow up to our original video product review to discuss the results of our two week long test. This orthopedic dog bed is veterinarian recommended for relief from arthritis and hip displasia, two common conditions faced by older dogs.

therapeutic-bed-3

We put this dog bed through this test to determine if we would be able to see any improvement in Mackenzie’s overall condition when he wakes from naps. Mackenzie, my 13 year old pug, is challenged by arthritis, which is most apparent when he wakes from extended sleep in his bed.

Find out how this dog bed performed during this testing period and whether or not there was any improvement in Mackenzie’s post-nap condition.

Keeping Your Dog Safe During the Holidays

With the holidays here, we're all busy bustling around to get ready. But don't forget about your pets and their safety with all these new and curious goodies about. Here are a few tips to help you keep your furry friends out of trouble:




  1. If at all possible, place your tree in a spot where your pets can be kept separated. Cats have been known to climb them and dogs like to eat them. Either way, it's dangerous. Use fishing line to secure the top of your tree to the wall or a fixture, just in case. Cover the base of your tree to keep the pets from drinking the water.
  2. Remember fire safety with candles and lights. Only burn these when you are home, and be sure to tuck all electrical cords under or behind furniture to keep curious pets from chewing.
  3. Holiday plants such as Mistletoe, Poinsettias and Holly are dangerous to our pets. Keep them well out of reach.
  4. Avoid using hooks to hang ornaments. Switch to string or ribbons that are less hazardous to tiny digestive systems.
  5. As always, keep human foods separate for humans. The many rich goodies that are around at this time of year can make a pup or kitten quite sick, so be sure to secure all food when you are not keeping an eye on it.
  6. Tinsel is also a no-no if you have pets. 
  7. Finally, keep in mind that dogs will find food, even if wrapped as a gift. Did I mention that dogs WILL find food? Place all food, or items that might possibly smell like food, out of reach of dogs, preferably in closed cabinets or closets.
Make this holiday a safe and happy one for your furry friends. Happy New Year!
