Lady and the Tramp family movie night featuring #MoviesAnywhere and Petcube

Image
We have one of those dogs who loves to watch movies. Petey reacts to dogs, cats, horses, and other animals on TV. As long as they are on the screen, he’s interested. As soon as they are off screen, he walks away. We enjoy family movies, especially when they are about dogs. Here's Petey watching the scene from Lady and the Tramp where the canines are crooning in "jail."  This is a #sponsored post.  Lady and the Tramp, a classic family favorite movie, is now available (released February 20th) digitally on Movies Anywhere. To help spread the word about the release of this heartwarming movie, we were given a code to view Lady and the Tramp on Movies Anywhere . I was intrigued to learn that this new movie streaming service allows you to watch movies any time from any location . In addition, we received a #Petcube pet cam, which allows us to view our dogs anytime from anywhere! What a fantastic combination!   First… the movie.   Step one, we installed the Movies Anywhere

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's New Dog

Image
The governor of the state of New York got a new puppy...and he's facing all the same issues that pet parents everywhere face. Governor Cuomo held the large, squirming 14-week husky-shepherd mix in his arms at a press conference Tuesday. "This is Captain." He wanted to name him Excelsior, the state motto, but got outvoted by his family. "This was the idea of my daughters, who had to have a puppy, had to have a puppy." He added dryly, "They are nowhere to be found now." The adorable dog has a gray face, white markings, and black eyebrows and rings around his eyes. His tail wagged and he seemed relaxed and curious during the press conference. The governor also explained about house (or mansion) training. "He goes outside. He'll stay outside for any period of time he deems necessary and he will then come inside and urinate as soon as he gets inside He will only urinate indoors."  Captain also keeps the family awake with his nighttime howling.

Good Night, Sleep Tight...Dog Bed Review and GIVEAWAY

Image
Ernest and Petey love having their very own special napping places. We have several beds both upstairs and down. They always like trying out new ones, too. We were invited to review a dog bed from Smiling Paws Pets . They carry pet beds for cats and dogs, along with other pet supplies. Would your dog like a new bed? We're giving away one free dog bed in the Rafflecopter below. So be sure to enter! We received the Modern Dog Bed in size Large. The bed was too small for our adult golden retriever Ernest, but 9-month old Petey took to it immediately. It was actually on the small side for him too, but he loved rolling over atop the super-soft sherpa fabric. Some of the pluses are that the bed is attractive, with a striped exterior and a brown sherpa interior. The bottom is a waterproof, slip resistant fabric. On the negative side is that the bed is more lightweight than I expected and the sides are not as sturdy as I thought they'd be. This hasn't detracted from Petey's en
