Black & White Sunday; Siberian Husky Zoomies

It's Black & White Sunday and I'm sharing photos of my high energy Husky!


It's the Black & White Sunday blog hop!
I jumped up on this tree stump in the forest during our walk to get a better view!


I grabbed my Husky and took her for a one hour walk this morning.  Afterwards, I was exhausted but she was just getting started!


Huskies are Super high energy dogs!
I've got the Zoomies!


High energy Husky!
What can I say, I'm a HUSKY!!  No use trying to tire me out, it won't work!

When does your dog get the zoomies? 

THIS IS THE BLACK AND WHITE SUNDAY BLOG HOP!


Remembering Our Veterans With Deepest Gratitude

I spent today visiting my Dad's grave and reflecting on all those who have served in the U.S. military.  My Dad was a WWII Marine who received the Purple Heart after the battle at Tarawa in the Pacific in 1943, just days before his birthday.  

Happy Veteran's Day, with deepest gratitude to our military

I am filled with gratitude for all those who are currently serving and who have served in the U.S. military to keep us safe and protect our freedom.

Happy Veteran's Day.  Praying for peace on earth and grateful for our military.

LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

THIS IS THE BLOGPAWS WORDLESS WEDNESDAY BLOG HOP!



Fall Is Still Flea & Tick Season

I've learned that Fall is still flea and tick season.  In fact, it can be prime season for fleas and ticks!  Although we use flea and tick preventative all year long as a precaution, I didn't really believe it was all that necessary.  How could there still be fleas and ticks when Summer is long gone and the nights are so chilly?  But then something happened that really drove it home for me.

Fall is still flea & tick season!

Catching Fire! Fall Beauty

THE BEAUY OF THE FALL FOLIAGE FEELS TO ME LIKE I'M CATCHING FIRE!  IT'S BEAUTY LIGHTS UP THE LANDSCAPE IN BLAZING GLORY, MEZMORIZING US LIKE GAZING INTO A FIRE DOES, BUT IT'S FLEETING.  JUST A FEW WEEKS AND IT'S ALL GONE....

Give The Gift of Healthy Dog Treats #NaturalBalance

I always get really excited after Halloween because I know it means the holidays are right around the corner!  The holidays are such a fun time.  I love to decorate the house inside and out, shop for just the right Christmas trees; one inside and one on the front porch, visit family and friends, and do all the fun holiday activities around town.  One of the things I really enjoy is making homemade holiday treats for my family and friends.

A homemade treat jar filled with Natural Balance dog treats makes a great DIY gift!  Handmade by you with LOVE for a special dog

I am being compensated for helping spread the word the word about Natural Balance Treats, but Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Natural Balance is not responsible for the content of this article.

A hand crafted treat jar is the perfect gift for dog loving friends and family members, it shows you care about them and their precious pooch!  It's a truly personal gift, hand crafted by you specifically with their dog in mind.  You don't need to spend hours in the kitchen baking homemade dog treats, you can create a DIY (Do It Yourself) treat jar filled with healthy dog treats from Natural Balance® Pet Foods!  Natural Balance has a wide selection of healthy treats for dogs you can fill your treat jar with. 

My treat jar was easy to make.  A trip to the craft store and some delicious Natural Balance treats was all I needed for this project.


The yummy Natural Balance dog treats and supplies for my DIY dog treat jar. Fill with treats for dogs, cats, or any pet!

I chose a plastic container with a tight seal on the lid, it's not breakable and it will keep the treats fresh.  I decorated my jar with holiday and pet related embellishments.  I use a lot of stick-on embellishments in my DIY projects, they make things much easier and there's no need for messy glue guns!  I love bling and I wanted a rhinestone bone or paw on the jar.  I bought strips of rhinestones but I have to admit, they were not easy to cut!  That's why my bone isn't exactly perfect.  But that's what makes it personal right!?  Perfection is not the goal, I just wanted it to be thoughtful and heartfelt.
