Ruff Wear Knot-a-Dog Coupler, Double Dog Walker Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

We took a vacation recently, where we not only took our kids, but were crazy enough to bring our 2 puppies with us.  It went remarkably well.  The only thing was, that I brought 2 separate leashes and I was usually walking them solo.  The problem would be I would end up tangled between the two, especially hazardous when using my long retractable leashes for them.  I knew that there had to be a better way.  When I was asked to select a product to review from Ruff Wear and saw this Knot-a-Dog Coupler, Double Dog Walker, I had no problem choosing.  We are taking the pups on another trip in a few weeks and this will certainly make walking them much easier.  It arrived recently and I decided to take everyone for a test walk around the lake.  It worked great and was easy enough for a child to walk them as I took pictures.  So now instead of having two dogs running in two different directions on two different leashes, I can keep them together and in the same direction.  Everyone is happy with this great double dog walker and I highly recommend it to anyone who has to take two dogs out together.

So do you have a couple of dogs who this would be great for?  If so, then you will be happy to know that Ruff Wear is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a large black Knot-a-Dog Coupler, Double Dog Walker.  Thank you Ruff Wear for the review double dog walker and for sponsoring this great give-away!!!

A Whale of a Sale!!!

It does not matter how much money I have or don’t have, one thing is true.   I get almost giddy when I get something I need on an incredible sale. Yesterday, I hit a jackpot of sorts.  I got myself 4 pair of Jones New York velour cozy yoga pants (I walk and workout in them), that were originally $59 for $4 and change. If that was not a great enough deal, I then picked up Levi jeans for Ethan at $6.81 a pair.  I could not believe it but I love it!!!  Got a few more bargains but those were my biggest.

It was a glorious and warm day here and I took a great walk outside with the puppies.  It felt wonderful and you can definitely smell spring in the air.  All the snow is melting so rapidly.  I know it is supposed to be cooler the next few days but there is no denying spring is coming.  Yesterday, when I was shopping the bathing suits, gardening supplies, swim toys and Easter candy were a very welcome sight.

Remember, a few weeks back I told you all I was stressing over Ethan’s birthday cake and that it was going to be a construction scene.  Yesterday, I got the trucks for that and then in another store I found the perfect things for a John Deere tractor cake.   I bought those too because with two little boys they are not going to go to waste for sure.  I plan to ask him what he would rather have, and then start my mental planning.

It is a time of planning isn’t it? Springtime, and the anticipation of rebirth and renewal.  I am mentally preparing my garden and I decided I am going to ask my husband to build me another large raised bed.  I already have 2 but I want to add a third.  I cannot wait to get my hands into the soil and to start planting.  Are you all planning a garden?  I love being able to grow healthy food that I know was not sprayed with pesticides.  I also love showing my kids how things grow.  I would love to add some free-ranging chickens for eggs and for fun, but with our pack of dogs, it just does not mix.  Heck, I have even wanted a goat or two and a miniature donkey.  That does not sit so well with my husband, who knows he is the one who takes care of all the animals.  I try to sell him on the healthy benefits of our own goat milk and making our own goat cheese, but he just points to a farm down the road where we can pick that up.  So no chickens, goats or donkeys but I will have my garden.

Don’t forget the cookie stamp give-away is over in a few hours.  I have so many great give-aways coming up.  Great things like $25.00 gift certificates and gift cards to various establishments like Dali Decals, environmentally friendly products, toys and so much more.  Make sure you subscribe to the blog so you do not miss out.

Catching Up!

Wow, I cannot believe it has been so long since I have sat down to write.  I have blogs being written in my head all the time but it is getting the time to get them on the computer that is the challenge.  So I am happy to report that Sylvia and I are still walking fools and I have conquered much more than the track at the school.  With Sylvia’s tenacity  we have covered a lot of ground quite literally.  We have upped are walks to more like hikes and I can tell you my endurance has improved so much.  We walk around at least 4 miles up some very steep terrain.  I feel so much better and I can feel my body becoming much more muscular and fit.  I also so enjoy the time to talk with Sylvia and rediscover our friendship.  I am so thankful to have her for a friend.  I am going to try to keep up with my blog so stay tuned.
