When I rescued Wynston back in February 2012, I was single and living on my own in an apartment. At the time, I had bright pink flowery sheets because I was embracing my inner girly-girl. Over the years, Wynston has always preferred to sleep in the bed with me. I never thought anything of it until Matt and I moved into our house in 2013. I kept the pink sheets but they were on a bed in our guest room. Wynston started sleeping there on a consistent basis. After some time, I realized that he was sleeping on that bed because the flower sheets brought him comfort. In the meantime I was washing the sheets frequently and one day while they were in the washer, the unit completely broke down. I didn’t realize it for a few hours but when I did, the sheets smelled like mildew. I was very upset, thinking I was going to have to throw away Wyn’s comfort sheets. I put them in a plastic bag and put it in the garage. Thankfully we got a new washer and when I had the opportunity to try Febreze In-Wash Odor Eliminator, I knew the first product I was going to wash was the sheets. I wanted Wynston to be able to sleep on them again. The mildew smell was really awful and I didn’t have confidence that it would ever go away.
Mommy and Me Monday – Running Errands!
It’s the continuation of our “Mommy and Me Monday” series! I had some errands to run today so it was the perfect opportunity to spend some time with my boy. Luckily most of the places we shop are dog friendly so I packed up Wynston and headed out, blanket and treats in hand.
How to Prepare Your Dog for a Photo Shoot
Wynston has been modeling for PetSmart for a little over a year and a half. His first opportunity to model for the big name pet company was in October 2014. That photo shoot paved the way for Wynston’s future modeling career, and I will tell you why. If you are interested in getting your dog into modeling, or you are headed to a professional photo shoot, here are some tips as to how you can prepare your dog (and yourself) for the big day.
Mommy and Me Monday – The Dog Mom Life
As a dog mom, I believe that it’s necessary to spend quality time with each of my dogs. It’s a good bonding experience, and you get to know your dogs as individuals. When my three dogs are together on an outing, their listening skills decline and they act like monkeys in a circus. Take them all separately, and they are perfect angels. While we’re working on the whole “going out as a group” thing, I spend one-on-one time with each of my dogs. Today I took Wynston over to the Riparian Preserve for a relaxing nature walk. Perhaps I will start a new blog series – Mommy and me Monday!
Dog Mom With Depression: Speaking of the Stigma
Depression sucks. Depression really, really sucks. How do I know? I have clinical depression. It runs in my family and unfortunately it’s just one of those things that I was (insert sarcasm) lucky to inherit. Depression is something we don’t talk about enough. People hear the word and they think “Oh my God. That’s so bad. We can’t talk about depression! How DEPRESSING!” Well, okay. That makes zero sense. With all of the social media and internet capabilities in our hands today, it’s my belief that those of us who have suffered from depression should speak out about the struggle and what helps us cope. For me, it’s my dogs.
