Lots of new puppies have been running around Facebook and Instagram this time of year. Of course - we are in the new year so it's the perfect time for new additions to the family.<br />
<br />
Here are some must-haves for your new furry family...click on the links to go right to www.shopwithbella.com's search and get cash back plus great prices on all this great stuff!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Food-3+4?credituser=C6176934">FOOD</a> - lots of puppy food choices. A trainer and food expert friend of ours recommends Taste of the Wild. Make sure it's a puppy formula so it has the nutrition growing puppies need. If you are using a high quality food, you do not need to add puppy supplementation to it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Collars,+Leashes+~+Harnesses-3+4?credituser=C6176934">COLLARS, HARNESSES AND LEASHES</a> - You may want to go with a collar and leash or a harness and leash combo. Whatever you choose, make sure it is the proper size. Collars should allow 2 fingers to fit between collar and neck. Harnesses should not be tight enough to create friction and rubbing on skin around the armpit section of the front legs. Lots of styles, fashion choices and colors to choose from!<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Beds+~+Bedding-3+4?credituser=C6176934">BEDS AND BEDDING</a> - Let's be honest, your pup will eventually end up in your bed or at least at the foot of it? It's best to start with a crate (see below) but you'll also want bedding around the house to ensure your pup has a comfy place to sleep. Sleeping is the main job of a puppy, especially when they are going through growing spurts.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kvAIkCGWJaA/WIyb31KR2yI/AAAAAAAAdfA/KAyncZtDl6Q3QSLDowzCgZiHsgOYPPcdACEw/s1600/puppy-shoe-accordingtobella.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kvAIkCGWJaA/WIyb31KR2yI/AAAAAAAAdfA/KAyncZtDl6Q3QSLDowzCgZiHsgOYPPcdACEw/s320/puppy-shoe-accordingtobella.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Toys-3+4?credituser=C6176934">TOYS!</a> - A very important piece of a puppy's day! Play! Perfect soft toys for puppy teeth as they grow big and strong. Puppies need lots of play so you'll want to have toys handy when you are trying to distract your pup from chewing whatever is nearest when they are playing.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Rawhide,+Bones+~+Chews-3+4?credituser=C6176934">RAWHIDES, BONES AND CHEWS</a> - Oh my! Keep these at a minimum for pups. Make sure they are puppy friendly for their growing teeth.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Apparel+~+Costumes-3+4?credituser=C6176934">APPAREL AND COSTUMES</a> - Bella would be annoyed to know this entry was here. She hates wearing clothing. But a growing pup may need a coat for a cold day or a hurricane wrap for a storm. Or maybe something with frills and glitter?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Training+~+Behavior-3+4?credituser=C6176934">TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR</a> - You can train a puppy to sit at 8 weeks old - earlier than you may have guessed. But there's a lot more pressing issues...like doing their business outside!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Biscuits+~+Treats-3+4?credituser=C6176934">TREATS AND BISCUITS</a> - Adding positive rewards for good puppy behavior is the best way to go. Let your pup know you are the Alpha dog but do it with yummy goodness.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Carriers+~+Crates-3+4?credituser=C6176934">CARRIERS AND CRATES</a> - For that authentic den feeling or your road warriors, carriers and crates are an important part of childhood for your pup. Crates will help with housebreaking and minimizing damage in your home. In addition, they help a puppy feel secure in their new surroundings.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/Pet+Supplies/Dogs-puppy-Dog+Product+Type-Doors+~+Gates-3+4?credituser=C6176934">DOORS AND GATES</a> - Keep your puppy safe by limiting their territory to rooms where mischief is minimized. Block from steps, pantries of chemicals and more.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/search/pet+id?credituser=C6176934">ID TAGS</a> - Make sure everyone knows whose family your pup belongs to with personalized collar or ID Tag.<br />
<br />

I was having a wonderful time though so don't feel badly for me! In the bulk of the day, I taught local entrepreneurs some really effective yet simple sales techniques to close more business with more ease. And then out with friends to dinner at a local brewery and then A Christmas Carol. It's an amazing show with some dear friends so there's a plug at the end of this post .. please share and support this amazing show!<br />
<br />
Ok on to the business of shopping! This episode of Holiday Shopping Tips is a great one because you can get something so rare - Givers Gain! Good Karma! Money for Doing a Good Deed! See, our goal is to pay as much cash back as we can to shoppers and make the Shopping Annuity and <a href="http://www.shopallthat.com/">Shop.com</a> a household name.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O2KZQgFdsvw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O2KZQgFdsvw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
So we are incentivizing (sharing the wealth) with our customers and business partners that share <a href="http://www.shopallthat.com/">Shop.com</a>. Our corporate team negotiates an extra 1/2% cash back from our retail partners so we can gift it to our referral partners - YOU the customer! And every time a purchase is made an angel gets its wings...no not really (well maybe but that's a different holiday tale!)...Every time a purchase is made, you will receive 1/2% cash back and your friend will receive ALL the cash back listed for that item.<br />
<br />
It's already built in - so you may as well enjoy it! Consider it a well-deserved thank you and acknowledgement for helping us spread the word about the Shopping Annuity and <a href="http://www.shopallthat.com/">Shop.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Other companies have similar programs but NONE OF THEM is as generous. We have no restrictions, no minimums, no activity requirements, no expirations. Just COLD HARD CASH (or better yet WARM SOFT CASH to cuddle up with all your other holiday spending money).<br />
<br />
So to get this fun little gift, share the gift of Shop! <a href="https://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/nbts/account/invite-friends?credituser=C6176934">Use the INVITE TOOL on Shop</a> or share the link at the bottom of that page on Social Media. The more people you invite the more extra cash back you'll earn.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine referred her son to <a href="http://www.shopallthat.com/">Shop</a> for tires on his truck. These were FANCY! and as a result of her referral, he got a great deal and over $50 cash back! She got over $10 cash back on that one purchase. So everyone wins!<br />
<br />
Are you convinced yet? Then go on out there and invite your friends! And if you or they need any help shopping, just let me or Bella know! We will <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/digginupsavings">sniff out the great savings for you</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D_5FLEI3suQ/WEVwaoPcsLI/AAAAAAAAcMs/iYKwMm2paGsJha2TKpfpEXNBSpyNA5UhACLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-12-05%2Bat%2B8.48.20%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="27" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D_5FLEI3suQ/WEVwaoPcsLI/AAAAAAAAcMs/iYKwMm2paGsJha2TKpfpEXNBSpyNA5UhACLcB/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-12-05%2Bat%2B8.48.20%2BAM.png" width="320" /></a></div>
This is where to find the invite tool - it's a link just to the right of your cash back total.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When you are on ANY Shop page, at the very bottom you'll see a "Link to This Page" in green...that link will include your referral code. Share that link on social media and anyone that registers will be your referral and be linked for your 1/2% cash back.<br />
<br />
<br />

Today's video is about using www.shopallthat.com comparison shopping feature to your best advantage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tnn7VCGd-5w/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tnn7VCGd-5w?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Here are the tips - and some bonus ones not in the video!<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Search from the main search bar on www.ShopAllThat.com and you can drill down by price, brand or store</li>
<li>Choose ONE CART in search results to use your cash back toward the purchase price.</li>
<li>See All Offers allows you to make decisions about where to buy based on price, cash back and free shipping offers</li>
<li>You can also browse by category in the top left of the header and drill down to what you are looking for</li>
<li>BONUS - when you are at a product, you can do much more than look at all the offers from partner stores .. you can also set a price alert, add it to a wish list or a trend shop! </li>
<li>If you choose a product that is NOT part of the One Cart you will be taken to the partner store's site and can get all the discounts and specials they are offering..and even use gift cards and store credit cards because you are shopping from them directly...the referral code Shop sends will make sure you get your cash back</li>
</ol>
<div>
If you can't find what you're looking for here's a special Google tip</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Make sure you have Shop Buddy installed on your browser</li>
<li>Google what you are looking for</li>
<li>In the results, some of the options will have a big blue S ... those are Shop partners and when you purchase from them you'll get the cash back and coupons we have curated for you and you don't even need to go back to Shop to get them!</li>
</ol>
<div>
I ended up at the Bliss product - a really super option for stress (and all natural too!). It's a featured/exclusive product offered only at Shop. Get a 15% off coupon at the end of the video!</div>

Today's tip was a twofer! We covered daily deals at <a href="http://www.shopallthat.com/">www.shopallthat.com</a> and how to get good wine at great prices (plus cash back!).<br />

<br />
<br />
So let's summarize this baby...<br />
<br />
First we talked about Daily Deals. Through December 25, <a href="http://www.shopallthat.com/">www.shopallthat.com</a> has a new daily deal. Today's is an awesome flavor infusion water at nearly 50% off plus cash back. Pick your color!<br />
<br />
Then we went over how to shop for wine in a really smart way. You get good wine at great prices and 4% cash back! Sometimes you can get free shipping too! Trista uses Wine.com through Shop for the cash back and then she looks at price and star ratings to get the best deals. Watch the video for a demonstration.<br />
<br />
I was impatiently waiting to play when she was doing this video so I barked a lot. Trista turned it into a drinking game .. can you guess how many drinks she took during the video?<br />
<br />
We want to know about your favorite wines and the color you chose of the infusion water bottle!<br />
<br />

I wanted to make sure you had a Holiday Gift Guide for your Furry Family too. Because we know you have us on your list...at least twice if not 10x. I like to employ the <a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/The+10X+Rule+The+Only+Difference+Between+Success+and+Failure+by+Cardone+Grant+Hardcover+-847059529-p+.xhtml?credituser=C6176934">Grant Cardone 10x Rule</a> for holiday gift giving to your furry family.

It's durable and has a hidden squeaker (so it's in 2 categories!). It's a tennis ball with great bounce and bite. I can't rip it open but I can puncture it, which doesn't hurt its bounce at all. I can get the squeaker broke eventually so I recommend you stock up. </div>

It's becoming the place people go for their online shopping.<br />
<br />
Here's a tip for Amazon shoppers, including Prime membership holders.<br />
<br />
If you are an Amazon shopper, make sure you have a Shop.com free account. Download Shop Buddy and have it running on the browser you use to shop on Amazon.<br />
<br />
You'll get an alert from this free widget if Shop.com has a better price.<br />
<br />
You can still decide to purchase from Amazon, but with the cash back, free shipping, hot deals and favorite stores partnering with Shop.com you may choose otherwise.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_tK-3U2DTQw/V3AH6PhwQkI/AAAAAAAAVFA/Uo-NpH7cIRg_GpCKXhElO_zq2MHCzg2kACLcB/s1600/20160603_165331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_tK-3U2DTQw/V3AH6PhwQkI/AAAAAAAAVFA/Uo-NpH7cIRg_GpCKXhElO_zq2MHCzg2kACLcB/s320/20160603_165331.jpg" width="180" /></a>Shopping with your dog is definitely a growing trend. Some stores are quicker to get on board than others. Home Depot has been known to be dog friendly for quite some time. We frequent Marshall's too but those trips are shorter because the customers seem to find it odd that there's a dog walking around near by.<br />
<br />
I think the growing dog shopping phenomenon is due to the increased awareness of the dangers of leaving your dog in the car. The Humane Society says that a dog left in a car could be dealing with temperatures of over 100 degrees inside the car, even with the temperature outside is cool. They also report that open windows appear to have little affect on the inside temperature of the car. You can <a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/help-dog-in-hot-car.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">read their whole article here</a>.<br />
<br />
Recently I needed to make a trip to <a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/search/staples?credituser=R5219746" target="_blank">Staples</a> to print out color certificates for an upcoming training I was leading in Fishkill, NY. I thought this was the perfect shopping trip for Bella. I wouldn't be there long and the print center at Staples is open and spacious. If you Google, "Is Staples Dog Friendly" today, you get mixed reviews. In 2008, an <a href="http://www.latimes.com/style/la-ig-dogs14-2008dec14-story.html" target="_blank">LA Times article noted Staples as being open to service dogs only</a> but it seems they <a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/search/staples?credituser=R5219746" target="_blank">Staples</a> is loosening their grip on that rule, depending on the store...and likely it is at management discretion.<br />
<br />
I have learned my lesson at Barnes & Nobel and called first. I made sure to speak to a manager - a lesson I learned at <a href="http://www.shop.com/ALLTHATINTERNET/search/kohls?credituser=R5219746" target="_blank">Kohl's</a> - and asked the following question:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YACiCo2e4QI/V3AH6YhWvUI/AAAAAAAAVFM/yMoGUaH8Q_kATeUQuGdMcloCbqLyxsAWACKgB/s1600/copycenter-staples-officesupplies-doginstorevisit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YACiCo2e4QI/V3AH6YhWvUI/AAAAAAAAVFM/yMoGUaH8Q_kATeUQuGdMcloCbqLyxsAWACKgB/s320/copycenter-staples-officesupplies-doginstorevisit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
"I need to come in and get some stuff printed but I have my dog with me. I don't want to leave her in the car because you know how people are these days..they'll probably call the police. So I'd like to bring her in with me...would that be ok?"<br />
<br />
I worded it this way to assist him in giving me the answer I was looking for, which turned out to be quite effective. I could tell he was hesitant...resistant...leaning toward saying no.<br />
<br />
He asked her size...if she would be leashed...if she was well behaved. I said yes. I also threw in that I would clean up after any mess she made. That was when he said (quite relieved) that it would be fine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3vjeKeq-Nk/V3AH7WSmgSI/AAAAAAAAVFs/j-ZGBo831eARX2CNUTzZTHRvpmSK_wlKwCKgB/s1600/solopreneurishard-staples-officesupplies-doginstorevisit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3vjeKeq-Nk/V3AH7WSmgSI/AAAAAAAAVFs/j-ZGBo831eARX2CNUTzZTHRvpmSK_wlKwCKgB/s320/solopreneurishard-staples-officesupplies-doginstorevisit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When I went to the store with Bella, I was a bit nervous about going in. I almost didn't do it. But then how could I write about the experience? ;-)<br />
<br />
We went in and made a bee-line to the print center. I had her leashed and had treats with me to keep her occupied. Generally she was great. She got a bit bored and barked once...and on our way out she really wanted to sniff and say hello to a customer at another copier. But we made it out without incident or comment.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nm9miY2We7s/V3AH5HuYBmI/AAAAAAAAVE0/bxaXawijEGkUnicy6_srD8uExCkwfSVqQCKgB/s1600/20160603_165236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nm9miY2We7s/V3AH5HuYBmI/AAAAAAAAVE0/bxaXawijEGkUnicy6_srD8uExCkwfSVqQCKgB/s320/20160603_165236.jpg" width="320" /></a>As the dog friendly store rules continue to unfold, my advice is to call and speak with a Manager to request permission. That way, you won't catch anyone by surprise and if an employee gives you a hard time you have a manager's name to refer to. Keep your dog leashed and happy (treats work best for Bella) and don't do anything to wear out your welcome. Most of all, clean up after your dog! A mess left in a store is the quickest way for a store to remove themselves from the dog friendly store list!<br />

Where do you shop with your dog? What tips do you have to keep your dog on the "Welcome" list?<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bella's Review:</span></h2>
<h2>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the coolest because the treats roll around and make lots of noise when I play so I am always excited to see what pops out. Since the holey part is small, I have to work to get the treats out. It uses my smarts and I like that. My hu-mom keeps it on the hard setting because I have lots of smarts. Don't be jealous. You're probably smart too. It is exciting too cause I can smell what's in there but I can't get too it till I earn it. Bring it on!</span></div>

<div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <a href="http://bit.ly/bellaiqball" target="_blank">IQ Treat Ball Dog Toy</a> comes in 2 sizes - large and small. It has 3 parts ... the top and bottom that screw together and an internal barrier that keeps the treats from coming out on their own. The top has a hole that the treats can come out of when the ball is manipulated. The bottom is solid so you can't see what's in there. The internal barrier is also opaque and has an adjustable opening so you can change the difficulty and size of treats used. This is a durable toy that keeps your dog's interest as long as treats are in it. The hard plastic is not puncturable as long as you get the proper size (I don't recommend the small one for larger dogs for this reason).</span></div>

The cat and her family are so private, they have all requested that their names be changed. So they have been. I introduce you to Ponce the cat and her hu-mom Maria and future hu-dad Jose. Here's Ponce's story:<br />
<br />
Ponce is a very fearful and private cat. She is known for being invisible when company comes over. She has been with Maria her whole life since she was a kitten and it's known that she was taken from her cat mother too early and never really recovered. She has shown herself 3 times to Jose since he has been coming around Maria's house for the last year. This is a HUGE step and has never happened even once with any other visitor. Maria said Ponce and Jose definitely have a strong fondness for each other and Jose has a goal to be able to pet Ponce some day.<br />
<br />
As Maria and Jose have gotten more serious, a relocation to Jose's home is in Ponce's near future.<br />
<br />
Maria is worried about how Ponce will take the move and has been making mental preparations for weeks. She has picked out where and how Ponce will be relocated to ensure she has as much comfort in her new surroundings as possible.<br />
<br />
This is where I come in. Maria asked that I check in with Ponce about the move. My process when communicating with animals is as close to a conversation as you can imagine but without any words. I start the conversation always the same way.<br />
Me: "Hello Ponce"<br />
Po: "Hello"<br />
Me: "I love you"<br />
(usually they say I love you back)<br />
Po: "OK"<br />
<br />
Maria laughed when I shared this part. She said "That's just like her."<br />
<br />
This was my first experience where I could sense her in my mind. She was on the right of my inner vision in a corner, crouched but neither laying nor standing. She was against the wall. The corner and the way she pressed against the wall made it look like her back was arched but she was not in an attack position - more like defensive, afraid, worried.<br />
<br />
So the interview started. I'll share it here to the best of my recollection.<br />
<br />
Me: "Ponce, what do you know?"<br />
Po: "Pain...fear"<br />
<br />
Me: "What do you like?"<br />
Po: "Grass. Bugs. Dark places. Blankets."<br />
<br />
Me: "Do you feel Maria loves you?"<br />
Po: "It's hard."<br />
<br />
Me: "Do you know Maria loves you?"<br />
Po: "Yes."<br />
<br />
Me: "Do you know Jose loves you?"<br />
Po: "Yes." - a warmth that I felt in my chest at the mention of his name<br />
<br />
At the point we discussed the move, I could feel her fear in my chest.<br />
<br />
I asked Maria to describe the house to me. I began to be an interpreter for Ponce and Maria - allowing Ponce to really hear Maria describe the new home and all of its rooms. Allowing Maria to hear Ponce's reactions through me. First Maria shared about the room where Ponce will move into for the first few days...a room she is calling her "Spirit Room." Ponce was elated to be in that room... a sacred space for Maria. When she heard it was in the cellar, that turned her sour. Maria offered a different room out of the cellar. A small room with a desk, but no hiding places. Ponce would rather be in the Spirit room even if it means being in the cellar. Her response to the smaller room was, "no no no no no no no no no."<br />
<br />
Maria described a guest room with a king sized bed and really comfy blankets. Ponce immediately responded, "That's my room!" When she spoke of the room they would share as a family, with a king sized bed that would have plenty of room for both humans and cats, Ponce imagined herself stretching between them against each of their legs, cuddled in the blankets and thought, "that's my spot."<br />
<br />
At the news of 3 levels of rooms and exploration, Ponce was intrigued. She knew she would be hiding on the upper floor when guests came to visit. She saw lots of possibility by the end of Maria's description of the future home.<br />
<br />
In fact, Ponce was no longer in the corner crouched and fearful. She was away from the wall, peeking out, curious and wondering.<br />
<br />
Maria wanted me to make sure Ponce knew this was Jose's house they were moving into. I began my connection again with Ponce.<br />
<br />
Me: "Hello Ponce."<br />
Po: "Hello."<br />
<br />
Me: "I love you."<br />
Po: "That's fine."<br />
<br />

He is a love and enjoys people, the outdoors and being pet. His Hu-mom, Yvette, was concerned about his health so we did a little check in session with him.<br />
<br />
Here's what happened:<br />
<br />
Me: "Hello Kupa"<br />
Ku: SILENCE<br />
<br />
Me: "Hello Kupa's body" (trying something else)<br />
Ku's body: "Hello" (a very purry hello indeed)<br />
Me: "I love you."<br />
Ku: "I love you too."<br />
<br />
Ok so Kupa wasn't talking. He didn't want to be part of this inquiry. But his body was willing so I decided we would go there instead.<br />
<br />
Kupa is having some pain. I asked his body where and heard, "Liver and onions." I asked for his body to show me where and a dull ache started in my right lower abdomen and side. Yvette and I wondered if he was having issues with his liver. After our session, she researched issues with the liver for cats and found his symptoms consistent with liver issues.<br />
<br />
I asked Kupa's body about food. Bottom line - he loves junk food but his body does not. He loves cheese (swiss, cheddar and brie but NOT Boursin or American) but his body definitely does not.<br />
<br />
Raw chicken was a yes. Cooked chicken was a no.<br />
<br />
This was my first time communicating with an animal, so frankly, I was surprised I got anything at all. Yvette shared that my communication with him felt right. And she went to slice him up some chicken.<br />
<br />
Feel better Kupa!onelegacyatatimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00935733622750694813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6247667697518625517.post-70353002939517268332016-05-26T07:51:00.000-07:002016-05-30T05:50:54.615-07:00Treat Puzzle Review - Dog Treat Maze by Nina Ottosson<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>This is a review of the Dog Treat Maze by Nina Ottosson. </i></b><b><i>I would recommend this toy and am offering you a way to purchase it through an affiliate link.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you love to eat - and who doesn't...SRSLY. - then you wanna try a meal in this baby. It is round and has colors and it spins. Most of all it has food and treats in it. So you wanna spend some time with it because when you first get it you are gonna think you just have to bite it to get to the yummy smells inside. And then you will learn techniques like SPIN, BOUNCE, SLAM, PIROUETTE, THROW and maybe even make up some of your own. Make sure they put food and treats and not just food because that makes it better. And better is always better. Get this one. You won't regret it. Unless it's empty. And with emptiness comes regret. I read that somewhere once. I don't remember where. Seems to fit here though, no? I hear this one is size large. If it came in an extra large I would want that because I bet you could fit more treats in it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just the Facts:</span> </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Dog Treat Maze by Nina Ottosson</span> is a spherical maze that is shaped like a dome on both the top and bottom. This gives it a wobble that is fun to watch. It also allows your dog to get their paw or nose under it to wobble it, tumble it and turn it end over end. It spins nicely on hardwood floors. They can use the openings to grab it with their teeth for throwing and dropping. The maze inside on the top and bottom are 90 degrees off center of each other so the top and bottom mazes don't react the same way. This makes filling easier and play longer and more engaging. There is no way to take it apart for cleaning, so only dry treats/food are recommended. There is no way to increase or decrease difficulty of this treat puzzle. Treat/food filling can be done on the top and bottom of the maze and each section is separate so treats do not co-mingle between sides.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have had this treat puzzle since the beginning - so over a year. It was the first toy of its kind that we got Bella and our first experience with a treat puzzle. It was under the tree for Bella's first Christmas. We pre-filled with some training treats and wrapped it with paper and bows. I remember she opened the package - wrapping paper and all! - and then proceeded to try to open the puzzle. Oops. Didn't think that one through! This puzzle definitely took some training for her to get the hang of it. So worth it!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aKHWr7aZdCQ/V0cDQ942GaI/AAAAAAAAT6k/TUDIMGrDHiMs1dnIIu82f_lanC8n2dTYgCLcB/s1600/treatmaze-damage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aKHWr7aZdCQ/V0cDQ942GaI/AAAAAAAAT6k/TUDIMGrDHiMs1dnIIu82f_lanC8n2dTYgCLcB/s200/treatmaze-damage.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My first piece of advice is be prepared to train your dog to use this treat puzzle. It's a maze so they have to move the puzzle around to get the treats out. I highly recommend using a positive reinforcement tool to do this. We used the clicker to enforce the actions that would get the treats - pawing, pushing, spinning, tumbling end over end. And we discouraged her when she began to bite it in frustration. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The time you spend training should go quickly if your dog is fairly smart. We did get some damage at first (I blame my lack of preparation with training needed) but the treat puzzle has held up..and all that damage (see right) is from the early days. This is one of the pricier treat puzzles we have purchased - at around $15 to $20 - so we have stuck with the original since it still works perfectly fine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This treat maze has also stood up to Bella's tendency to get bored with her toys. There is no figuring out a trick to empty the contents .. and repetition of the same movement over and over will not get the results she is looking for. Varied movement is required and therefore this is a long-term treat puzzle that your dog will enjoy for years to come. Our experience is that it will stand up to the abuse it gets while treat-seeking, as long as your dog is not left to gnaw on it. For that reason, I recommend supervised play. By that I mean - not alone. This is definitely in my arsenal of things for Bella to do when I need to get work done.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's a funny thing that happened last night - We were sitting on the couch for some late-night wind-down TV. Bella jumped onto the couch arm so she could reach her treat box that lives on the top of her crate. She took almost a minute picking something out. And then - voila! The toy she chose was the <a href="http://bit.ly/1qLvGua" target="_blank">Nina Ottosson Dog Treat Maze</a>! It was empty but she kept picking it up with her teeth and dropping it until we filled it up. I like that she chooses it when she wants to find something to do by herself. It's so much better than a fairly new habit she has started - Finding and then destroying boxes of tissues...not just the boxes but also the tissues! :-/</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are happy with this toy and would recommend it, and purchase it again.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1qLvGua" target="_blank">It comes in 2 sizes - small and large</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Use <a href="http://bit.ly/1OPmlHE" target="_blank">small training treats</a> and small food pellets that do not crumble easily. The food will need to fit into a fairly small opening and will get knocked around quite a bit before escaping from one of the openings</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For longer play, fill both the top and bottom mazes with treats</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When filling the holes, here's what I do for maximum treat capacity (and maximum play time) - first fill one side, then on that same side tip the maze toward a NON opening side, flip the maze and repeat</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mix treats and food so there is a lower calorie/fat content and still the interesting smell of treats</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you get used to how long your dog will want to play, you may end up with treats and food leftovers on the floor - Bella empties it but doesn't always finish the contents at the initial sitting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a great way to feed your dog if you have a fast eater</span></li>

I like this puzzle because I was able to get to the treats easily. Sometimes you have a tough day waiting for your humans to come home and watching the cat run around and you just need to unwind and not think too much. This is the perfect thing for me. I think of it as the Paw-tini. Dirty.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Trista's 2 Cents:</span><br />
A great use for this is to slow your dog down in how quickly they eat. It hold about 1c of dry dog food between all the sections.<br />
<br />
The way it works is the dog moves the top and middle sections with their paw or nose to get to the treats or food. Once spun, the toy opens up and all the sections of the level(s) are exposed. If they already know how to use their body parts as tools they will be able to solve this quickly. Once learned, it no longer poses a challenge.<br />
<br />
We were not so much looking to slow down eating (we already had a great option for that at a higher difficulty level). So for us this was not a good choice. The 3 pieces are supposed to tighten to create more resistance and increase the difficulty. My experience was that it was never tight enough to pose a challenge for Bella.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some Good Information:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Don't over fill </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Evenly distribute the treats among all openings</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">For dogs not great at puzzles, start with the top tier only and then gradate to the lower tier</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use the resistance screw on the bottom to slightly increase the difficulty level</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Avoid OVER tightening as this can cause the unit to break apart and then you may need to call my husband to fix it (I did...)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Call me if you want mine - it's basically new </span></li>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bella's Review:</span><br />
I ruv this toy! Ok, enough with the puppy talk...listen to me what I am saying. Get this for your dog. It's important. My love is their love. And I love this toy. The boney end is perfect for gnawing. And the fun bubbles have yummy things inside of them so I have fun getting them out. This game is fun and it's also a toy when it's not a game and I hear it could even be funner with wet stuff in it but no wet stuff is ever in mine. But I don't care because - as humans say - it has rocks in it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Trista's 2 Cents:</span><br />
Bella means "It rocks." This was an impulse buy for me. I saw it and thought it had pretty colors. I was looking for some variety for Bella because she tends to get bored (due to her intelligence) as she gets good at a toy puzzle. She's also a destroyer so I have to say I liked the price. It was less than $10 - a great price for treat puzzles that are usually at a much higher price point. I can't remember but it may even have been the extra thing I put in my cart to get the free shipping. <br />
<br />
We have had it over a year and it has held up and held Bella's interest. We are replacing it because the bone ends are now sharp from chewing and we don't want to create opportunities for Bella to cut herself on them.<br />
<br />
The colorful pods have held up and have not been broken, ripped or pulled apart by Bella - a well known power chewer.<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Lvy7wJt2bCI/VyFp-yu-tAI/AAAAAAAASDQ/8X8LCwN0Dpc5mqe_sUKOSYooI55cavyAQCLcB/s1600/JW-Pet-Evertuff-Treat-Pod-Interactive-Dog-Toy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Lvy7wJt2bCI/VyFp-yu-tAI/AAAAAAAASDQ/8X8LCwN0Dpc5mqe_sUKOSYooI55cavyAQCLcB/s400/JW-Pet-Evertuff-Treat-Pod-Interactive-Dog-Toy.jpg" width="220" /></a><br />
We are happy with this toy and will purchase it again.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some Good Information:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Use smaller treats for easier filling efforts - training treats and treat discs work best. A broken up milk bone or similar tend to stretch out the pod over time making the toy easier to empty after a while.</li>
<li>Vary treats so there is something new in each pod. Variety is the spice of life and will reduce boredom.</li>
<li>Avoid allowing your dog to use it as a chew toy to lengthen the life of the toy. Bella has been gnawing on the bone ends for a while now and they have become jagged and sharp. I'm in the process of replacing it to avoid injury of her or my bare feet.</li>
<li>Avoid wet treats as it's not the easiest thing to clean. The pods are not removable and it does not come apart for easy cleaning.</li>
<li>See the way it's facing in the photos - turn it the other way to fill it. They are showing it to you with the large pliable end towards the bottom and this was quite confusing to me when I first tried to figure out how to fill it. </li>
<li>There is something in the directions about sliding the pods to make room for treats. This seems like it would work but in my experience it really didn't. I pry the large end open with a finger and squeeze the treats in. It's not the easiest thing I have ever done. But it's so worth it. =)</li>

<br />
One I am particularly fond of is an artist from the UK named <b><a href="https://oscarjetson.com/" target="_blank">Oscar Jetson</a></b>. His cool and colorful art shows up in my Twitter feed and always catches my attention.<br />
<br />
So I reached out to him to find out more about him.<br />
<br />
Here's our interview. What do you think of his work?<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JhHP6XxXyHg/VtRp-yq5glI/AAAAAAAAPRM/9HKNCR-K5cg/s1600/frenchbullpurple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JhHP6XxXyHg/VtRp-yq5glI/AAAAAAAAPRM/9HKNCR-K5cg/s200/frenchbullpurple.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: Your art is quite intriguing - what is your background and is this your full time career? </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><b>Oscar: </b>I was successful at art at my high school and was encouraged to pursue a career in art, even attend one of the prestigious art schools in London. At 18 years old I was not confident enough and felt that if I did not “make it as an artist” I would struggle to find work. I do some part-time lecturing but recently my reproduction prints and custom portraits are taking up a lot of my time. Prior to picking up the brushes again I was in the Merchant Navy and this is why I also love to paint the ocean.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvaGQq8Z-E8/VtRpcbnFV9I/AAAAAAAAPRQ/0wB2JdjvF-s/s1600/boxeryellow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="144" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvaGQq8Z-E8/VtRpcbnFV9I/AAAAAAAAPRQ/0wB2JdjvF-s/s200/boxeryellow.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: What got you started painting dogs? </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><b>Oscar: </b>I have always loved dogs even way before I owned one. I currently have a Border terrier and an English Working Cocker Spaniel. I think that dogs are such characters and are so expressive. They can be so amusing and have such a range of expressions and poses, often comical and always tend to resonate with other dog owners. I also love to paint human portraits, landscapes and seascapes.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: How do you choose your subjects?</b> </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SmyqPolnCP4/VtCBRXfGgvI/AAAAAAAAPGw/zwrJAj-z3N8/s1600/DSCF3405.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SmyqPolnCP4/VtCBRXfGgvI/AAAAAAAAPGw/zwrJAj-z3N8/s200/DSCF3405.jpg" width="158" /></a><b style="color: maroon;">Oscar: </b><span style="color: maroon;">I also love to take photos so when I get opportunity <br />and I</span><span style="color: maroon;"> am out walking my dogs I snap the dogs they meet with the owner's permission. I don't believe in replicating photographs in 2015 as although I respect and admire many traditional pet portraits, I think that with modern technology allowing photos to be reproduced on canvas etc..I would prefer to create something more unique and expressive. I therefore only use the photos to assist in capturing the character of the dog. Some of my paintings are more refined however and I do not always use vivid colours. I prefer commissioned work as I get to learn a bit about the dog and always receive great feedback as the painting progresses (I send photo updates at many stages).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<span style="color: maroon;">I do get the chance to work from live subjects at times – naturally my two dogs and friend's dogs are willing models but if a client is local I am happy to visit them to make some sketches. I have done some paintings of my own dogs where they have sat for me but normally this is when they are staring at a squirrel out of the window.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1_GBJisXIxU/VtRq3CoBOCI/AAAAAAAAPRc/v4Rvokivcmk/s1600/boxermulti.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1_GBJisXIxU/VtRq3CoBOCI/AAAAAAAAPRc/v4Rvokivcmk/s200/boxermulti.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: Any interesting stories about your subjects you can share? </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="color: maroon;">Oscar: </b><span style="color: maroon;">There are too many stories to share, some heart breaking ones about dogs who have battled with long term illnesses and some celebratory ones when dogs have recovered after terrible accidents. One amusing one that stays with me was the Chihuahua and the Patterdale terrier whom I did a large watercolour of...the painting arrived and my client put it down after signing for it, popped upstairs only to find they had been so eager to open it they had torn it open and caused some damage!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: I find your color choices quite interesting - where do you get inspiration for the color choices in your art? </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<b style="color: maroon;">Oscar: </b><span style="color: maroon;">The colour choices I make are due to a number of factors...sometimes I just exaggerate the colours I see in a photo provided by a client, other times I include specific colours a client wants to match their décor. I sometimes request photos of the room in which they know they will hang it. Other times I just let the colour scheme develop as my painting progresses. I always pay attention to the science behind colour theory and refer to the colour wheel to ensure colours are contrasting or harmonious.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: How do you use social media to promote your art and how effective has it been?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<b style="color: maroon;">Oscar: </b><span style="color: maroon;">I share a lot of my art on both Twitter and Instagram, news and people also seem to like to see my artwork as it progresses. My followers can be quite interactive and all of the retweets and comments often lead to new people seeing my work. I have had commissions directly through both <a href="https://twitter.com/oscarjetson" target="_blank">Twitter (@oscarjetson)</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oscarjetson/" target="_blank">Instagram (Oscar Jetson)</a> so I am happy that it is worthwhile.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: What is your plan long term with your dog painting?</b> </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<b style="color: maroon;">Oscar: </b><span style="color: maroon;">I would love to continue as I am and considering I had an 11 year break I believe I am refining my style and technique, experimenting a lot and also improving. I would love to have my work in a large exhibition or to sell from a dedicated premises. At the moment I am exclusively online and work from my home studio.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><b>Q: Where can your collection of artwork be found?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5cm;">
<b style="color: maroon;">Oscar: </b><span style="color: maroon;">My etsy site has mainly reproduction giclee prints in a selection of sizes. There are also some unstretched canvas prints. I plan to add to this by including panoramic long stretched prints of multiple dogs on canvas. I also can take enquiries on the etsy site for charcoal studies or custom paintings.</span></div>

They sleep on my bed. They go with me pretty much everywhere and they even like going fishing with me. All holidays have to be dog friendly so I usually take them to the south coast of England. The cocker is an amazing swimmer due to his webbed feet. The Border terrier thinks he is but tires himself out when he is chasing a ball to bring back. I have only had to go in after him once though! Even in the car the terrier likes to have his head out of the window in the front when there is a passengers lap for him to sit on and do so safely (He has however worked out the window controls so the child lock now has to be on)</span></div>
