I have a special little guy I would like you to meet…my granddog Paco! He is a twelve-year-old Chihuahua and the wonderful news is that he has come to live at my house along with my daughter and my three grands. Yes…he has joined my cats as a member of my blog staff! He and my fur babies are long-time friends and get along quite well. In fact, he even gets the occasional bath from Miss Kitty. He is a very helpful little fellow as well, enjoying his role of
cat whisperer whenever I need assistance rounding up my feline staff.
I have to confess that this little guy has quite a big place in my heart! He is always happy to see me and never fails to slip into my lap for some extra snuggles and kisses. Who could resist that little face?
And because he is so special, I want to be sure that he is getting the very best pet food. That is why I was so happy to discover
Natural Balance® dog food. I love the variety of foods and treats that are a great fit for a small breed like Paco. And I know that I never need to worry about quality because they offer the
Buy With Confidence® promise. I watched as one of my friends went through a pet food recall and knew then that that was an experience that I never wanted to have with one of my beloved pets. Natural Balance actually tests every batch of pet food in their state of the art
laboratory for
safety. And not only that, all you have to do is go to the
Buy With Confidence site and enter your product's Information to see the test results! Not only do they promise to test every batch, but they also show it to you! That's why I believe in Natural Balance pet foods! And, of course, your satisfaction is guaranteed. Natural Balance makes me feel secure in an industry full of food recalls and issues. Normally, paying more for a product means that it is higher quality but that isn’t a guarantee in today’s world. That is why Natural Balance goes the extra mile to test all of their products for safety. They care about your pet’s health and happiness above anything else!
I love being able to relax and enjoy having this sweet little guy around! He adds so much sunshine to my life! I also love knowing that I never have to worry because I am feeding him the very best pet food. If you aren't already feeding Natural Balance to your pets, just head on over to their
web site and use "Help Me Choose" to find the just-right food. You can find Natural Balance in your local pet specialty store: PetSmart, PetCo, independent retailers or online.

ReplyDeleteNothing like a sweet doggie to great you when you come home and to snuggle up in your lap. Definitely have a special pet in our lives here. Sadie Mercedes came to live with us over four years ago when we adopted her from Wee Rescue. She is the joy and light of our lives.

ReplyDeleteI have had the pleasure of adopting four chihuahuas. Sable Madison is the oldest of the pack. Unfortunately, her best friend passed, Dr. Winston O'Boogie (Boogie) named after John Lennon. So we adopted two brothers; Thames and Teddy Boy. Chihuahuas are like chips you can't just have one.

Two are Shih-Tzus & my other is a Cairin Terrier/Yorkie mix. We are retired & empty nesters & I don't know what I would do without them!!

What a photogenic and handsome little guy Paco is! I have a Labradoodle, Tavi, that makes about 25 of Paco! He is my stick-tight. Sometimes I wish he wouldn't be so co-dependant! But he has a great, loving, calm (mostly) personality and loves everyone. Even the babies and children who pet him too vigorously and step on his feet and hug him too vigorously, and lay on him and.....! He's just my sweet boy and I am so glad I found him.
ReplyDeleteI lost the love of my life last October. Bill E Buttons was the sweetest cat ever.
ReplyDeleteA white tuxedo with a black Batman mask that wondered into my yard and heart. A feral cat came along later and three litters followed. Charleigh is a cute tabby with long hair who jumps into my lap looking for love trying to replace my Buttons.
No one can be lonely with a pet. As my friend says Whenever you come home, it's always a party.

Paco is beautiful, we have a male blue great Dane and his name is blue and we love him so much. We have always had females babies . We lost our katie last year she was 9yrs old and could not walk anymore it just broke our hearts at that time we said we would never have another dog. But we had a empty place in our hearts and a friend of ours knew how lonely we was and surprise we have a baby blue . There is no other love without pets they bring a smile to your hearts.

ReplyDeleteI have my best friend Cosmo who is a rescued cat. I used to wish that he could talk, and express himself to me, but now after several life changing events, I am so glad that he can't talk! He is the only one that I can tell all my secrets to, and I know that he keeps them. (Except God, of course) He knows everything and still loves me. He has rescued me!
ReplyDeleteI have a parrot and a cat, they are good buddies.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie....amazing, isn't it how little furry friends become such a part of our lives! I have had several dogs over the years and truly miss them all...so, it was such a blessing when my son moved in with his sweet dog, Opal. She is such a delight and I cannot imagine life without her....thanks for the giveaway! I am going to search out this pet food and thank you for bringing it to our attention....have a Great Thanksgiving!

Pixie began going blind at age 5 years and was totally blind by age 8. But, W0W! Has she ever learned to compensate for the blindness! She has been my source of comfort after losing my husband last year to cancer, too. If she just wasn't so darned picky about food...

ReplyDeleteYes, I have a very special pet in my life. After my previous cat died I didn't think I would ever be able to adopt another animal. It took two years of grieving, but I finally adopted a kitten. It was the best decision I could have made. :)

All our pets are special because they are rescues. The only one we actually got on purpose is my Buddy. A friend's cocker spaniel had puppies by their other dog, a Cavalier King Charles, and I wanted one. We have had cockers in the past and we had just lost our last dog earlier in the year. The only puppy left was the male and after much scrutiny, my friend decided we would be good pet parents. Buddy is my shadow and panics if he turns around and I'm not there. But he's a good boy and super smart. We love him and his brother Dalton and sister Sofie.
ReplyDeleteWe are planning to get one soon.
