Weekend Wrap Up : Productive

If there is one word to describe this past weekend, it's productive.

And if you know me, that's a great weekend in my books.

I managed to get a whole heck of a lot accomplished and crossed off my list these past few days and I am so happy!

Friday I ran to the mall very quickly to pick up a few Christmas gifts.

Then raced home and it was time for Catching Fire with friends!!!
We have been anxiously awaiting this movie since the second the first one ended.

Bethany may or may not have gotten us tickets approximately 2 months ago when they were first available.

It was incredible and awesome and better than I could have imagined.

I LOVED it.

Saturday I was up bright and early to run 6.5 miles with my running group.

Then I ran some errands and got my hair done...all before 12pm.

After my errands I came home to this awesome box on the porch.

 Floyd and I were both beside ourselves with the contents!! (excuse the purse and mess on the floor, as I said, we were really excited and couldn't wait to tear into our box!)

You may remember when Floyd reviewed Rachael Ray's Nutrish dog food - well they were generous enough to send some more yummy treats and bones to my sweet boy!!

They are also giving away one bag each of Nutrish Savory Bites (Floyd's favorite), Soup Bones and Soup Bones Mini to one reader! Just comment below with one thing you did this weekend.  (Winner will be announced on Wednesday)

Sunday was the most productive day of all!

I redid some of the decor in our house, hung new pictures up, did about 46 loads of laundry and whipped up some Christmas crafts.  Oh, and a trip to Target, of course! (P.s. the long sleeve Target tees are on sale this week for $6.  I would go stock up if I were you- they are my favorite!) 

For dinner we had our neighbors over for Mister's roast and mashed potatoes - so delicious.  We've started trading houses for Sunday night dinner lately and it's been such a great and delicious end to the weekend. 

Hooray for a short week!!

He Likes to Eat {Giveaway}

We all know that Floyd is a fan of eating.

I'm fairly certain that the promise of breakfast is the only reason he gets up in the morning.

So when Rachael Ray contacted him to test out their new Zero Grain Dog Food, I knew he would be a fan.

 And with my intense love of Rachael Ray, I knew I would love it too- the idea and product. I didn't actually eat it, just for clarification.

But before testing out the food, he had to give the bags a once over.

As much he loves to eat, he loves to sniff almost more.  

Even before seeing Floyd's reaction, they won me over with how well the food was packaged and presented to us.

'2 paaaaaws up!!'

Rachael's Zero Grain food is just what it says, zero fillers, grains or gluten.  

Mister and I have been 'clean eating' (more on this soon) so why shouldn't Floyd be as well?!
This grain free food is perfect for Floyd and his sensitive belly. 

Because of those issues, introducing him to new food is always a little iffy.  But with the high quality ingredients and zero poultry by products or artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in this food, he has had 0 issues.  The food is also very easily digested.

That makes for a happy mama and and an even happier Floyd. 

And as promised, a few tails (pun intended) from Floyd's vacation while we were gone.  All, coincidentally, having to do with his love of eating.

(Floyd was boarded part of the time we were gone and then spent a week with Grandma for as well.)

Tail 1: Floyd has been known to get into a purse or two in his day.  So if you come over to our house we will automatically just put it in another room and save your chapstick and gum from the chunky paws.  Well, Grandma knows this and thought she was safe putting her purse on top and in the middle of her kitchen table.  Oh nay nay, Floyd, knows no boundaries when he sniffs out a purse and thinks he's in the clear from getting caught.  And as we've seen before, can have some mad hops when he wants to.  

Turns out he was able to get Grandma's purse from the middle of the kitchen table and knocked the entire thing over and dumped all of the contents.  Basically it was his hey day.  He managed to get away with a cereal bar and quite a bit of gum.  So he had a snack and then freshened his breath.  And then of course acted as if he'd done nothing wrong, which is his go to move.

Tail 2: Back at Grandmas- Grandma was feeding her dog Sophie one night and Floyd decided Sophie wasn't eating fast enough.  Sophie eats on a newspaper and Floyd knows he has to sit patiently away from her until she's done.  And he's learned that he can have her leftovers, if he waits patiently.  Well on this particular night she wasn't eating fast enough for Floyd.  He managed to sneak around Grandma's chair and under the end table to the other side of the paper.  He snuck a few pieces of food and then proceeded to bark at Sophie in an effort to hurry her eating along.  Spoiled brat!

At least we know that he's equal with his shenanigan pulling and isn't just trying to drive only us nuts all the time.

Speaking of, we were over at Pepper's house the other night for dinner and Floyd decided to help himself to a cheeseburger.  We were eating outside and Pam was done with her burger (there was about a 1/4th left) and it was sitting on her plate.  Apparently Floyd had been plotting his attack for a while.  He casually strolled closer to her, threw his neck up on the table, crocodiled the burger into this mouth and ran into the yard.  I didn't even get up to stop him once he ran because I knew it was a lost cause.  When he steals food like that, he can swallow it in record breaking speed.
You would think the poor child never gets fed and that is FAR from the truth...he's just a sneaky little basset!

And because Floyd likes to spread his love of eating, he wants to give away 1 bag of Rachael Ray's Zero Grain Food to one of his favorite buddies.
