DogBlog Pet Bed Review

Posted on by

Maggie, the DogBlog Dog from Boise, Idaho was pleased to test out a very special bed. Special, you say, what makes this pet bed so special? First of all, it is so comfortable it feels like an air mattress. She snoozes away, dreaming of squirrels up a tree and running like the wind.

Maggie is a dog who thought the master family bed was the only place she could sleep. This was until we got her this new luxury pet bed from Crypton Super Fabrics. Now she can stretch out and feel snug as a bug in a rug. OK, she might need a few toys to really feel snug, but even humans would enjoy sleeping on this bed.

The other advantages: Crypton says “if you have a messy pet, don’t stress”. Crypton Super Fabrics makes their machine-washable pet beds resistant to moisture, stains, odors and bacteria. Their impenetrable barrier keeps grime from soaking through the fabric.

Pet accident? No problem – just wipe away. For stubborn stains, they offer a complete Pet Stain and Odor Remover System. But the DogBlog hasn’t tested those products.

You can visit Crypton Super Fabrics online to create a customized bed for your pet, and view their blog – lifeoncrypton.com/blog – to find out about Life on Crypton and the Super Pooch, Molly B.

Please check out Maggie’s musical YouTube video review.

The dog bed that Maggie tested is a Molly B. Luxury Pet Bed – Herringbone Cardinal – Size 36″ x 44″ x 5″
Maggie and the DogBlog give Crypton Super Fabrics Pet Beds a WINNER Recommendation. This pet bed product is the best dog bed we have experienced.

Maggie, the Dog, Tests Pet Food

Posted on by

The door bell rang, it was a delivery. The box is left at the door. We guess the delivery guy didn’t want to meet Maggie at the door. I brought in the box and to Maggie’s delight the delivery was for her. You see, a representative for SUPERVALU® contacted the DogBlog to ask if we would like to sample their new products for dogs. SUPERVALU® has launched WholeCare Pet™ Brand of National-Brand-Equivalent Pet Foods and Supplies. Maggie agrees it is a good idea to nurture your furry, four-legged family members with The WholeCare Pet™ line of pet products. Yes, they even have things for the other furry family members of the cat population. Just don’t let Maggie hear about it!

The WholeCare Pet line will be available nationwide at the company’s family of grocery stores. Our friends in Idaho can find the WholeCare Pet line at Albertsons.

Here is Maggie’s video report about these tasty dog foods and treats – she gives the WholeCare Pet™ Line of Products her yelp of approval.

Making an Origami Dog

Posted on by

Today was a day to stay inside, so I got on the web to look through my email and came across a link to an origami website. I started out with “easy” and found a cute dog. I had it made in a matter of minutes. Now you too can become the proud owner of an origami dog. Fun for all!

The website is origami-club.com, an information site about origami for everyone that is free. This is an excellent site with diagrams and animation to show you how to fold. The site is from Japan, but this link goes to the english version. origami-link

I have images ready to show you, but I need to get permission from the owner to post the images. Stay tuned.
