” ‘Now made with whole grain and fruits and vegetables .’ Look Mya, your food is just like what I’m supposed to be eating,” I said to my little cat.
Reinforcing my point is Natural Defense. I attended their launch event last week and learned this new line of food and snacks for dogs is loaded with ingredients such as flaxseed, whole grains and green tea extract. “The same natural extracts benefit dogs in a simliar way,” says food and nutrition trend expert Amy Snider-Whitson.
The variety of vitamins, minerals and extracts in Natural Defense have all been scientifically proven by vets and pet nutritionists to boost a dog’s health in terms of their immune system, digestion, oral, skin/coat and joint health. All I know is that if the products boost a dog’s health half as much as I enjoyed the meal we ate inspired by some of the same ingredients, courtesy of Daniel et Daniel Catering, your dog will be living the good life. (I’m still salivating over the green-tea creme brulee! At my table we were all convinced the addition of green tea cancelled out the fatty cream and sugar of the dessert. That’s how it works, right? 
).
P.S. I was kind of hoping that the swag bag would include a puppy. Alas, it did not. Would’ve been the perfect excuse to come home with one (I’ve been trying to convince G. for years that we need to add a pup to our abode).

Captivating thanks to how frightening it is (shout out to B. for sharing the link to this video).

First I watched with my mouth gaping open. Then I was asking myself if those creepy poodles were real. (Yes, seriously; I mean, they really look real, don’t they?).
I think it’s safe to say you’ll get more of a workout from Tracy Anderson’s new DVD than from this Poodle Exercise!

findings from a survey conducted in Britain by pet healthcare company Bob Martin found that dog owners spend a whole lot more time exercising through walking their dog than non-dog owners do going to the gym–with short and long dog walks totalling an average of more than eight hours per week compared to a mere one hour and 20 minutes for dogless people. Furthermore, 86 percent of dog owners enjoy walking their pets, compared to the mere 16 percent who enjoy their gym workouts.
My personal trainer, Monroe, for a few days this fall
I can see how walking a dog would be so much more enjoyable. I recently helped out a friend with walking her French bulldog, Monroe, for a couple of days when her regular walker was unavailable. He was so obedient that I didn’t even need to put all the tricks I’d learned from watching Cesar Millan into practice.
Each day, I spent over one hour walking him, not to mention having to fetch the ball when Monroe chose not to retrieve it (which was about half the time) so I figure I factored in bit of light jogging and forward bends into the “workout”, too. I was so enamoured with Monroe, though, that I didn’t even really notice. And exercise that’s so fun you don’t even realize you’re getting a workout? Love it.
