Pawesome Prizes from PetSafe

We entered a giveaway from PetSafe over the holidays and won some awesome prizes! This giant box mysteriously showed up yesterday and I had no idea what it was until I saw that it was addressed to Stacy and Ellie. Our prizes are here!

The box was as big as Ellie! (and she did not like standing there for this photo)

We got a heated pet bed! Looks a little small?

Also a couple of toys and treats and a filtering fountain!

Ellie's favorite was the squeaky toy which she took before I could get it out of the packaging!

It was quickly chewed to bits. Though somehow, the squeaker is still intact.

There were these special contraptions that dogs can lick for days and days because yummy bacon flavored liquid keeps coming out!

Well, maybe Ellie can fit in that bed. :)

Thank you so much PetSafe for the incredible gifts!
If you've never been to PetSafe's website, I encourage you to check them out because they have some awesome and innovative pet products - lots of necessity type of stuff, not just frilly toys and treats!

Secret Santa Present

We did a Secret Santa gift exchange among the pets/pet owners at work and Ellie received her present today! We walked in this morning to find it sitting on my desk, no idea who it's from!

I set the gift down on the floor and there was something good inside because Ellie was giving it a good sniff-over. She even proceeded to open it all by herself!

We got some awesome gifts! A hard bone, a squeaky ball (that will have to wait until we get home) and lots of cookies!

Ellie is already going to town on the bone! Thanks Secret Santa!

Santa Claus is comin'...

Santa came early this year for Ellie because today she received her secret Santa gift for the Kitty and Canine Gift Exchange. We participated in this last year and loved it, so we couldn't wait to do it again this year!

Not one, but three packages arrived for Ellie today. So we sat down with the boxes. 

Ellie's eyes glow with excitement

Ellie quickly picked out her favorite - tennis balls!

She starts dragging it away from the pile

At one point, she got the package of balls stuck under the couch.

She drags them across the floor...

Can I have that?

Patiently waiting for mom to take pictures

Thanks so much for our gifts, Jessica and Bodie!

Dog & Cat Gift Exchange

My coworker just e-mailed me a link to this gift exchange for the holiday season and I wanted to share!

You just sign up your pet (you must sign up multiple times for multiple pets) then you get matched up with someone and you send their pet a gift under $10 and your pet will receive a gift in the mail! It's always fun to get stuff in the mail, so why not?
