How to Keep Your Dog Healthy With Good Diet to Avoid Pet Accidents on the Rug


Pets





Original quotes by Dexter throughout this post

As everyone who has ever owned and loved a dog knows, having a four-legged member of the family can be loads of fun and enhances living especially on the darkest of days. What's not to love about a pup that's always there, that keeps you warm in bed, that doesn't talk back like the kids do, and that loves you unconditionally even on your super bad hair days? Yeah, I'm talking about your pet and mine. I know for sure that our sweet devil of a Miniature Pinscher dog Dexter is all that and much more.

"I look so innocent and sweet," MommyBlogExpert.com
With such an adorable little fellow, who loves to eat just about any kind of fresh and healthy fruit or vegetable, you may think his nickname, Mr. Baklava - Pumpkin Pie is an oxymoron and is all about his cuteness. Trust me, you and I are both being just a tiny bit delusional if we believe that. 


"That Baklava made my tummy hurt," MommyBlogExpert.com
The truth is it's more about this small 12 pound dog's notoriety, because he has the super power to climb buildings in a single bound (ahem, I mean counters and tables) and eat more than a very hungry grown man. Yes, this innocent looking puppy can hop 6 feet vertically and can literally gobble down in record time just about anything in sight -- whether it is 1000 calories worth of the freshly baked baklava I left on the kitchen counter or two-thirds of a delicious pumpkin cream pie that quickly levitated without the help of any hands from the breakfast table to the floor recently while I was blogging and my kids were doing their homework at their desks.


"Not feeling so well after my latest little snack," MommyBlogExpert.com
I thought we were done with this pigging out phase because each time I caught the Big D in the act and reprimanded him on the spot. No such luck. Just a few days ago I was settling in at my computer to work on this post. All of a sudden I heard some very suspicious rustling in the kitchen which quickly snapped me out of writer's block mode. So I ran to see what was going on and to my disbelief (actually I wasn't that surprised) I saw that canine was at it again! This time he'd jumped up onto the kitchen counter and was coming in the homestretch of finishing off a smorgasbord of fixings for a Mexican tostada dinner that my 17 year-old chef of a daughter had prepared for the five of us as a school cooking assignment. 


"It's always dinnertime somewhere," MommyBlogExpert
Ole! That rat of a dog sure can scarf it down: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, grated cheddar cheese, homemade refried beans, veggie faux beef crumble, guacamole, and a tortilla or two for good measure. You guessed it, when an animal has an unhealthful diet like that instead of eating good food like Royal Canin -- which is specially formulated for dogs -- it can make them sick resulting in consequences for your pet and you. Payback that goes beyond the illness itself... like the kind of unspeakable mess we found on the floors and rug after each of darling Dexter's eating sprees, AKA the Big Three: poo, pee and barf.


"My friend having a morning after moment," MommyBlogExpert.com
In the case of our devious one, we knew exactly what had caused all the bodily chaos and we did not need to take him to the doggie doctor to be treated. However when your dog has an upset stomach with serious symptoms like excessive diarrhea and ultra smelly flatulence and you're not sure why, it's important to take him/her to the veterinarian pronto to find out what's going on with their gastro intestinal tract. Then follow the doctor's orders to take the proper steps to prevent more home accidents. In fact, regular vet visits to keep your beloved pet healthy are key even if they don't show any signs of sickness.


"Make sure to eat your veggies," MommyBlogExpert.com
My family needs to simply retrain our delinquent dog to deal with his eating behavior issues. But when your dog or mine is just plain old sick, science is usually the best way to investigate any issue your dog may have. You'll find that just seeking out some good pet health nutrition information can be very empowering.

Disney Infinity, Frozen, Star Wars Inspired Products Popular With Fans This Holiday


Toys



MommyBlogExpert.com
How exciting it was to attend the #DisneyUnwrapped media event to preview the Disney Dozen -- the top 12 Holiday 2014 toys now selling in brick-and-mortar and online stores. Don't miss MBE's review of the first six cool new Disney Dozen holiday toys I checked out at the preview in late summer. Then, read on below to learn about the other six new Disney Consumer Products holiday season offerings below.


Frozen Animator's Collection Doll Gift Set, Image by Disney
Frozen Animators' Collection Doll Gift Set, $99.95 
This is what I'd classify as the luxury class toy for little girls this holiday season. Young ladies will fall in love with this ready-to-give set inspired by the movie Frozen. The collection celebrates classic animation with young renditions of beloved Disney characters imagined by and crated under the guidance of the Walk Disney Animation Studio's talented animators. The set includes toddler Anna and Elsa dolls as well as four pretty dresses, assorted accessories, two dress forms and a tiny toy Olaf snowman. Available at the Disney Store and DisneyStore.com.


LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost, MommyBlogExpert.com
LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost, $79.99
LEGO aficionados who are also Star Wars fans will be stoked about this new set.  Though it says on the box that it's suited for ages 9-14, I think older LEGO lovers will also have a great time with this. This is the same starship The Ghost from the new Star War Rebels animated TV series. The 929 piece set includes everything you need to build The Ghost. When assembled the ship is battle for space battle with plenty of weaponry on board, including two spring-loaded shooters, storage for a spare missile and a lightsaber. Also in the box are five never-before-seen minifigures with mini weapons. Available at mass retailers.


Disney Tsum Tsum Plush, Image by Disney
Disney Tsum Tsum Plush Collection & App, $4.95-$24.95
Tsum Tsum translated from Japanese means 'Stack Stack.' Already a hit in Japan, Disney's cute, cuddlely stackable plush collection is now available in the U.S. There are a variety of soft and sweet little characters to choose from in mini ($4.95), middle ($12.95) and large ($24.95) sizes.

Free with purchase comes the Disney Tsum Tsum App which is available for Android devices on Google Play and at the App Store for iOS users. The game involves connecting and popping as many of the Disney Tsum characters as possible in one minute. As the game progresses players will collect Disney and Disney Pixar Tsums such as Mickey, Minnie, Stitch and Buzz Lightyear. "Tsum Tsum" plush toys are available at DisneyStore.com and select Disney Store locations.


Disney Infinity Marvel Super Heroes, MommyBlogExpert.com
Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, $74.99
This is the latest version of the Disney Infinity interactive gaming program introduced several summers ago. The new set builds on the success of the original launch with Disney Infinity's next chapter, Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC and iOS. In this all-new game players use real-world interactive figures to activate original storylines using Play Sets. Included in the box is 1 Disney Infinity 2.0 video game, 1 base, 3 Marvel Super Heroes (Iron Man, Thor and Black Widow), 2 Toy Box game discs, 1 Marvel's The Avengers Play Set piece, 1 web code card and poster.

Star Wars Scene Maker App, Image by Disney
Star Wars Scene Maker App, Free with IAP
This is a new line of creativity apps for kids and Star Fans of all ages providing the tolls to create, control, customize, capture and share original 3D animated Star Wars scenes. The easy-to-use app gives fans a really fun and cool user-generated storytelling experience, allowing them to re-interpret the iconic scenes from the Star Wars Saga. Available in the App Store.


Hide-and-Hug Olaf Family Experience, Image by Disney

Frozen: Hide-and-Hug Family Experience, $26.99
Inside the box, inspired by the movie Frozen, parents and kids will discover a brand-new story about Olaf the snowman. Along with the book, there's also a huggable Olaf plush toy. Following the hide-and-seek theme of the story, parents can hide the plush for the children to find and hug, or vice versa the kids can hide Olaf and send Mom and Dad on a scavenger hunt. Without a doubt this book set, will not only be fun to enjoy with your child, it will also bond you together as a family. Available in-store and online wherever books are sold.
