Finnie and Mattie are more than just dogs. They are part of the family. Somedays I feel like I have 2 more kids! They really keep me hoping. Is there any better feeling than sharing a moment of pure happiness with your pooch? Literally, nothing makes me happier than seeing Mattie or Finnie's tail wagging when they get to have one of their favorite treats - I feel like I'm just as excited as they are!

Purrfect Together: Celebrate the Bond Between You and Your Cat This September
Sebastian has been with me for 15 years! He snuggles up close every night, takes a shower with me every morning and is my little sidekick every day. September is Happy Healthy Cat Month—and there's never been a better time to show our cats some extra love. Recently, the cat lovers at Meow Mix ran the Purrfect Together Survey, which asked cat parents around the country about their special bond with their four-legged friends.

Frozen Watermelon Treats for Dogs
Peyton has been begging me to add a section to our blog that includes our pets more. She really wants to start making special treats for them, which means I need to start looking for recipes and playing around with them for our pets.

Here's what you'll need - 2 c pureed Seedless Watermelon 1/4 c ...
Something Special for Kitty
We are an animal loving family. Currently I am the proud pet mama to 2 Maine Coon kitties, Sebastian and Sophia. We never really see Sophia but we know she's around.

And just like most kitties Sebastian loves his food. Every morning we start out with a little bowl of wet food for him. Sebastian thinks it's a treat but in reality I ...
