Pedigree Ambassador/New Food Transition

I've mentioned previously that our family adopted a wonderful Pekingese named Preston from the Pet Pal Animal Rescue in St Pete. He continues to be the light of our life! The entire family shares in the responsibilities and joys of pet ownership and care - which has actually been less burdensome that I had expected! We had actually avoided pet ownership for over 20 years - but we're all so thrilled to have little Pressy Prancy Pants join us in our adventures!

Pedigree and MomCentral Consulting have selected Preston and our family to serve as Pedigree Ambassadors to share some great opportunities and petcare information in the coming weeks. We received a supply of their new Pedigree Dog Food for Small Dogs to help Preston experience this great new and improved formula. They have provided us with some great tips to help our pet in his transition to the new food, which I share here:

When changing pet foods, you will want to slowly transition your dog to the new Pedigree food by inserting increasing amounts of Pedigree into his or her regular food. For days 1+2 insert 25% of the new food into the dog’s current dry dog food. For days 3+4, 50% new food should be in the dish. For days 5+6, 75% of the food will be the new Pedigree, and beyond 7 days the food will be 100% of the new Pedigree.

We've now completed the transition to 100% of the new Pedigree. Preston LOVES it - it's apparently very tastey and easy for his smaller mouth to chew...

Preston and the Fritz Family will be sharing more Pedigree facts and fun with you soon...

I wrote this review while participating in an Ambassador campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Pedigree and received dog food to facilitate my reviews and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

The View

I have been an avid fan of the fun, feisty ladies of "The View" for over 5 years. I have always adored Barbara Walters, and her co-hosts offer conversation and topics for deeper consideration. I have to TiVo since I'm working during the broadcast, but each weekly show gives me something to laugh about and more to think about!

Last Friday's edition was no exception (Friday, 2/19) -
unfortunately the media spectacle of Tiger Wood's public apology - let's call it a "Oh That Dog! Fest", tied in well with The View's "2nd Annual Mutt Show"...putting the start about 30 minutes behind schedule. Since the show is taped, I'm certain there will be some great conversation in today's show (Monday, 2/22) about his assertions and future as a sports icon.

I'm so excited to share that I have been selected to serve as an ambassador for "The View"! Also, there is a great contest to enter: The View sweepstakes that’s currently being run on our Mom Central website. One lucky winner will be randomly selected to receive a trip to New York City to watch a taping of The View! The sweepstakes is open until February 28th. Here is a link to our sign-up survey for this sweepstakes: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22A5X7KF2CZ
