The Sewing Mom

I was working this morning and for some reason, my seemed to be feeling a bit insecure. She kept trying to get my attention, but eventually, she went over and attempted to disguise, or maybe hide, behind the curtain. Obviously, I can still see her, but she must have thought she was hidden!
Sorry for the picture quality, I took the photo with my cell phone.

It’s days like these that I have to ask myself, “why is the dog able to get a mani/pedi, and yet I sit here in dire need, unable to go to a manicure shop due to lack of time and money?!”

This is obviously one very spoiled dog!

(I do have it on my to do list to get a pedicure before heading to California next week. Let’s see if I actually manage to get it accomplished!)

As I’ve said, we were out of town all last week, attending my nephew’s wedding and then visiting family and friends. We spent half of our time staying with family and the other half we were in hotels. Because none of the hotels we stayed in accepted pets, I was forced to board our dog at a local kennel near home for the week. We really missed her, but, I have to say, when we picked her up on Friday, she was so soft and smelled so good, and even her nails had been nicely trimmed!

Seriously, does your dog ever get stinky beyond belief? My daughter is pretty good about giving ours a bath, but sometimes she gets a bit more stinky than I’d like and she reminds me of a fish market! We use an all natural gentle shampoo on her and her fur is usually soft, but I can’t get over how soft she is after being bathed at the kennel and it’s left me wondering just what dog shampoo they use at the kennel. I’d really like to get some of whatever it is!

So, I’ve started doing some research and comparing dog shampoos. One I found on the internet is from Dinovite, it’s called Dogosuds ® and it’s an all natural dog shampoo that contains 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties and don’t irritate a dog’s skin. It has no chemicals and no perfumes, after all, who wants a dog that smells like strawberries or coconuts?

If you’re interested in an all natural dog shampoo, you can find Dinovite on the web or follow them on Twitter.

This is an old photo of our puggle Plinko, but I just couldn’t resist posting it.  She loves our family room sofa because she can mush down the pillows and create a little nest for herself which is exactly what she has done here and then fallen sound asleep.

For anyone looking for a good, smart, cuddly dog, this is the one!  Our is a little bigger than most puggles, she currently weighs in at 40 lbs., but most are around 30 lbs.  She pretty quiet, unless she’s chasing a bunny in the back yard, then the beagle side of her comes out and she goes nuts!

Seriously, can you even imagine that this cute little face could possibly come along with a stinky smell? Well, I’m here to tell you that yes indeed, this cute little dog can sure get awfully stinky!

My daughter gave the dog a bath just last week and since then, the dog has spent so much time in and out of the swimming pool that you think that if she didn’t smell like shampoo, she’d at least smell like chlorine, but no! This dog currently has the strangest smell, I just can’t quite put my finger on it. Needless to say, she is in need of yet another bath. I don’t like her having baths too often as I don’t want her skin to get dry and itchy, but we do try to use a nice gentle shampoo.

Is your dog itching, scratching and stinking beyond belief?  I was on the web and I discovered Dinovite dog shampoo and I do believe I’m going to give it a try. This shampoo has no chemicals and no perfumes so it won’t irritate our dog’s skin or fur. It will also rinse out easily so won’t leave any residue that would cause itching. There is even an unscented version which is what I would probably buy, I’m not a big fan of scented shampoos.

Do you?

Wash your dog one day, just to have the stink return the next?
Wait weeks between bathing your dog because his skin gets so dry and flaky?
Hate bathing your dog because you rinse and rinse and rinse…and still can’t get him completely rinsed?
