This canned dog food seemed more smoother than any of the other brands I had tried with him.  My other dog is a big one and not picky.  She loved it too.

This one is Organic 95% Chicken and Liver Grain free dinner.  Now I had done some research on this one.  I never have tried a organic canned dog food before.  This dog food though is suppose to be the best of everything for your dog.  Both of my dogs love it.  I feel a lot better feeding this to my dogs.  For the first reason is that it is 95% of chicken and Liver and the second reason is that it is grain free.  The grain free is suppose to be better for your dogs digestive system.
   

Watch how fast your dog’s food disappears with our canned varieties. Feed alone or mix with your dog’s dry food.

There are many different things that could come into perform and be risky to your cat's health and fitness, so it is important to know what to look for to keep your cat much healthier her whole way of life. 

The typical house cat will go through three primary way of life stages. The actual duration of each level varies between different cats and different kinds, but the time interval of your time is usually a very identical between cats. Kitties begin their lifestyles as cats, and during this technique they are consistently improving and developing. It's very important to make sure they are getting appropriate nutrition and care during now, as they are especially vulnerable to sickness and the components when younger. Make sure your cat is heated at all times, and is consuming eating plan programs of sensible food. You should also take your cat to the vet to get images to protected it against diseases, and to get it spayed or neutered. Kittens have usually obtained older cat hood at around 1 year old, though some cats proceed improving until they're over two years old. 

Once your cat has obtained adulthood, the aspect where she has stopped improving, she is consistently on the remain a regular way of life, until around age eight or nine.

I am trying to get more and more Pet Products for these monthly posts.  I also think the written articles could be just as helpful.  But I have one more article to pot and a few pictures of some weird animals.  I think you will enjoy that too.

Thought to be extinct until a few years ago when it was rediscovered in Madagascar, this weird looking skinny-fingered, bug-eyed creature is still on the verge of extinction.

Come on you have to agree that this is pretty awesome!!  I personally would love to see one of these in real life.

********************************************************************************

Now here is some great stuff to get for your pets. 

 I will post up to 5 great products each month,

Enjoy!!

.

My Little Jasmine loves this one the most.  She loves leeping in there and then she will poke her head out to see what they are all doing.  She looks so cute!

My little kitty's really love this.  It is so much needed if you have cats.

This is a awesome product to have.  Where I live I can not put a regular big fence in and also it would cost me more money than this.  This is so easy to set-up and works great with my big dog.

You know how your dogs pads are all rough then this is what you need.  Like in the first post I have  dog of my own.  My smaller one always has these rough pads on the bottom of all four feet.  I got myself some of this to use on them.  I know for me to touch it is all scratchy and I am not sure if it hurts them when they walk, but I wouldn't want my feet all like that.  You do have to agree with that, because it is the truth.  We all take care of our feet with lotions, pedicures, nails and etc.  So why wouldn't you take care of your dog's paws.

Now here is the best brush for cats and dog.  I like products that I am able to use for all of my pets.  This brush really goes through my long haired cats and it makes it look so nice and fluffy.  Plus it takes all the fur that he would be shedding anyway.  My small dog is a short-haired dog and this brush still takes off some loose hair.  I was actually surprised when I seen that.  this is the best deshedding brush you can get.

Deb's Food Journal Post #1 (February)

 Welcome to the first monthly post in Deb's Food Journal!  Each month there will be post with food product reviews, recipes, food and etc.  You can say just about anything that has to do with food it will be in the posts.

We tend to think of Valentine’s Day as “owning” February, but this list says otherwise. Don’t let one day of red satin candy boxes limit your celebration, when there are month-long festivities like:

Berry Fresh Month Canned Food Month Celebration of Chocolate Month Great American Pies Month National Cherry Month National Fiber Focus Month National Fondue Month There are so many more.  I actually was very surprised when I started to research it.  I never knew there were so many.  It could be a fun way to celebrate and teach your children about all of the other days to celebrate.  That is what I used to do when my children were young.  Plus it just makes a fun day on a rainy, boring weekend. Now since it is " Great American Pie" month I want to share my favorite pie recipe. BERRY DELICIOUS BLACK BOTTOM PIE • 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips • 1 Cookie or graham pie crust • 12 ounces of Cream Cheese (1½ pkg. of cream cheese) • 1/2 cup prepared icing • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract • 15-20 California Strawberries • Whipped Cream for garnish Directions: Melt chocolate chips in double boiler or in the microwave and drizzle on bottom of pie crust.  Blend together cream cheese, icing and vanilla until smooth.  Spread the cream cheese mixture over drizzled chocolate on crust and arrange the California Strawberries on top of cream cheese mixture with ends pointed upward.  Finally, put whipped cream on top of strawberries and serve. ** You really need to give this a try.  I know you will love it! ** **************** Now onto the first food product review I would love to share with you.  You might have already heard of this company and maybe even tried some of their products.  This is for everyone that either heard of them or not.  I want to introduce you to Newman's Own. All of their chocolate candies! These are awesome for all the chocolate lovers that are out there.  I know exactly what that means when I say Chocolate lovers!  My husband, Hector is a serious Chocolate Lover!  Now don't get me wrong I like chocolate, but I can't say I am in the top Chocolate Lovers group.   Now let me tell you about these chocolate bars. They have milk chocolate and dark chocolate.  The taste of the chocolate is amazing and it really is the best.  Now you don't have to take my word for it, give it a try for yourself. Our chocolate bars and cups made from carefully selected organic cocoa beans and other fine ingredients result in richer flavors and a creamy, smooth texture.  I personally never had tried Hermits.  I did find these to be actually pretty good.  They have three different flavors, which are original, Ginger and Cinnamon. I do have to say that these are a soft, chewy cookie.  The taste is out of this world. You need to try these Hermits!

Now I would like to introduce you to some great olive oil and vinegar.   Our extra-virgin olive oil, produced in Tunisa, is considered one of the finest and fruitiest of the olive oils. The balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy has been aged in wooden casks producing a smooth, mellow character.  I say if you are going to prepare a great meal then use the best that is out there.

We all love cookies from time to time and some love them even more.  Let me tell you they have seven different kinds of the sandwich  cookies, like oreo's.   I was lucky enough to get to test taste two kinds of them.  The original Newman O's, which are the chocolate cookies with the white filler for the inside.  I actually like these more than Oreo's and price great.  Shhh this is just our secret!  The other kind I had received was Vanilla Newman O's and they were very tasty too.  I am hoping in the future I will be able to try the other flavors of the Newman O's.  

Now the last of the Newman's Own review.  Yes these do say Alphabet  cookies.  They are small, square cookies with the letters right on them.  These are pretty cool for young children.  They are just the right size even for a 4-year old.  They are very tasty and great for a snack anytime.

They have nine different flavors of Alphabet Cookies.  I personally tasted the Chocolate and the Vanilla Alphabet Cookies and I can say they were great.

                    Give them a try!

Well I shared my opinion of all the GOODIES I had received from Newman's Own.  I personally  can say a these products I listed above are very good, has a great taste to them and they are made organic so they are healthier.  Well why don't you just go to their awesome site and look through and grab yourself a few things to try.  Just click HERE and your on your way!!!

Play A little Music....

Are you looking to lay down some serious beats or do a little bit of music mixing?  If you are, you can't go wrong with the power of the DJ equipment store on your side.  This is one of the best music stores out there.  They have some really great DJ Gear, the Pioneer DJM-900 has been designed to enable animated DJ's as you see in the real night clubs and studios.

There is so much more at the Musicians Friend site you would totally be amazed.  They have guitars, bass, amplifiers, drums, keyboards and so much more.  My best friend's husband play the bass in his small band he put together many years ago.  As for me, I am not musically included at all but I do go to all the music jams that they do.  I don't have a lot of experience in guitars or keyboards but this is one awesome DJ equipment store.

The next thing that the guys looked for was a new keyboard.  They said you must make certain that you view all keyboards. You need to take a look at all the different models and makes that are on the market.  It is also very important to get the ideal keyboard that has all the functions that you want.  I actually found that quite interesting, since I wouldn't know how. They found the Yamaha YPG-235 in which they liked and the price was right too.

Well to wrap up my post I just want to say if you are in a band, a DJ or just looking to start then the trip to the Musician's Friend is in your best interest.  This is really a great DJ equipment store for all of the nights behind the scenes.

THE LEGEND OF ST. VALENTINE

The reputation of Valentine’s Day–and the tale of its customer saint–is surrounded in key. We do know that Feb is actually recognized as a 30 days of loving endeavors, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it nowadays, contains vestiges of both Religious and historical Roman custom. But who was St. Valentine, and how did he become associated with this historical rite?

The Catholic Cathedral identifies at least three different team known as Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One tale suggests that Valentine was a preacher who provided during the third millennium in The capital. When Emperor Claudius II made the decision that individual men made better military than those with spouses and family members, he banned wedding for younger men. Valentine, recognizing the disfavor of the decree, defied Claudius and ongoing to execute weddings for younger fans in key. When Valentine’s activities were found, Claudius requested that he be put to loss of life.

Other experiences declare that Valentine may have been murdered for trying to help Religious believers evade severe Roman jails, where they were often defeated and tormented. According to one tale, an locked up Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” introduction himself after he dropped motivated by a younger girl–possibly his jailer's daughter–who frequented him during his confinement. Before his loss of life, it is claimed that he had written her a correspondence finalized “From your Valentine,” a symbol that is still in use nowadays. Although the fact behind the Valentine stars is dirty, the experiences all highlight his attraction as a supportive, brave and–most importantly–romantic determine. By the Center Age groups, perhaps thanks to this popularity, Valentine would become one of the most well-known team in Britain and Italy.

DOLLAR SHAVE CLUB

Now this is the perfect gift for that man in your life for Valentine's Day.  The Dollar Shave Club  is a subscription box for men providing the essential elements for that perfect shave.  You are able to design your monthly box you would like to receive.  They have different types and sizes you are able to pick from.  The other great part is that you are able to switch them up in the future.

I would like to share this next part which I think is awesome.  There is no fees that need to be paid up front.  You also don't need to sign your life away with this club, as you have to with some that are out there.  You don;t have no commitments and your able to cancel anytime you would like.  This is what makes the Dollar Shave Club the best club out there.  You are also guaranteed 100% satisfaction.  

This everything for just the first month

I was very amazed at what came in the first Dollar Shave Club box. This box contained hair products, beard products and tons of other things.  Your man will absolutely love you for the perfect shave they will get from this product.  They will receive blades every month, so they will be able to have that perfect, fresh shave with a nice, new blade.  If you don't shave alot during the month then you can have your new blades arrive every 2 or 3 months.  It is totally up to you on that delivery.  You are also able to pick out some of the other products they have included in your box.

Now I will tell you my husband's opinion and mine about this box of goodies he received from the Dollar Shave Club.  I personally think it is a great deal for everything you get.  I looked and smelled the products and they have a nice, manly smell to them.  I love the way it makes his face feel after having.  It really makes it feel soft and smooth.  He used to have like the "red rash" that some men get from shaving and the post shave product is totally helping him.

Now I am going to tell you what my husband has said about this Dollar Shave Club.  I first want to tell you he is very picky and not a person to really try out new things.  He did look through the box when I gave it to him.  That as a good start, cause he usually doesn't even do that.  Then we both smelled them and he looked at them all.  Well he tried the post shave cream and did what it said to do.  He really LOVES the razors he had received.  I actually love the razors to.  He might just lose one! ( shhh, don't tell him).  He also tried a few of the other products this weekend and he does like the box of products he received.  So that is a good thing because like I said he is picky and hates to try new things.  So this Dollar Shave Club is well worth it!

I would like to take this minute to wrap up this post on the Dollar Shave Club with that it is so well worth the deal you will be getting.  Your man will look, smell and feel freshly cleaned and shaved for you.  Why should your man have all little cut marks from a old razor or be all red with a rash, when you can order this great box and it is delivered right to your door.  No fast runs to the store when your in a rush for a shave, no going without a shave if you have no time.  This will be just no worrying no more.  You will have it at your door every month if that is how you want it delivered.

So come on and click HERE and start your first month.

ORIGINS OF VALENTINE’S DAY: A PAGAN FESTIVAL IN FEBRUARY

 While some believe that Valentine’s Day is well known in the center of Feb to honor the birthday of Valentine’s loss of life or burial–which probably happened around A.D. 270–others declare that the Religious cathedral may sensible to position St. Valentine’s food day in the center of Feb in an attempt to “Christianize” the questionable party of Lupercalia. Recognized at the ides of Feb, or Feb 15, Lupercalia was a infertility event devoted to Faunus, the Roman god of farming, as well as to the Roman creators Romulus and Remus.

To start the event, individuals the Luperci, your purchase of Roman clergymen, would collect at a holy cavern where the babies Romulus and Remus, the creators of The capital, were considered to have been taken care of by a she-wolf or lupa. The clergymen would compromise a goat, for infertility, and a dog, for filtration. They would then remove the goat’s cover up into pieces, dip them into the sacrificial veins and take to the roads, carefully hitting both females and plants areas with the goat cover up. Far from being afraid, Roman females accepted the contact of the conceals because it was considered to create them more rich in buy. Later in the day, according to tale, all the younger ladies in the town would position their titles in a big urn. The city’s bachelor's would each select a name and become combined for the season with his selected lady. These suits often led to wedding.

VALENTINE’S DAY: A DAY OF ROMANCE

Lupercalia live through the preliminary increase of Christianity and but was outlawed—as it was considered “un-Christian”–at the end of the 5th millennium, when Pope Gelasius announced Feb 14 St. Valentine’s Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became for sure associated with really like. During the Center Age groups, it was generally considered in Italy and Britain that Feb 14 was the starting of birds’ propagation year, which included to the concept that the center of Valentine’s Day should be a day for romantic endeavors.

Valentine greetings were called long ago again as the Center Age groups, though published Valentine’s didn’t start to appear until after 1400. The earliest known valentine still most people was a poetry coded in 1415 by Charles, Fight it out of Orleans, to his spouse while he was locked up in the Structure of London, uk following his catch at the Fight of Agincourt.

I will also add a list of things a women would love on Valentine's day.  Like I always told my husband it is the amount you spend on a gift, it is the love you show me.  I have always loved making up some special thing to give to him and of course bought him something. But always we don't have a lot of extra money, so I just would love a small gesture.  Well on to the list of things.

• Flowers (cut by your love)
• Coupon booklet
• Card or Poem
• Walk along beach during sunset
• Picnic
• Drive along a road in the country
• Homemade cake shaped as a heart
• A romantic dinner with candles
• Rose petals on the bed and candles
• A whole body massage with oils
• You can make a homemade book
• Crochet a heart pillow (If you know how to. I personally don't but I seen my friends and looks awesome)
• A rose petal wreath

There is a few things off the top of my head that us women would like.  Let me tell you ladies there is a lot you could also do for your man.  I know men seem so complicated at some times but they really have a sweet spot in them.  So some homemade chocolates, like fudge, peanut butter balls or heart shaped chocolates.  These are all so easy to make and then put them into a nice container you can get at a local Dollar Store.  They also would love a massage too and some coupons.  My hubby likes his coupons that I gave him years ago.  You need to make them creative and add some things in there that he don't really like to do around the house, so that way he knows it's a gift. Well I hope this helps and you all have a great Valentine's Day.

Well as we know Valentine's Day is coming close and it will be here in no matter of what.  So why not be prepared for that special day.  Start your mind thinking and get yourself in a creative mood and create your Valentine something really special for Valentine's Day.
