Sleep Challenge Day Two

February 2, 2015-

This Groundhog Day is cold, wet, snowy, rainy, and ICY! So it is a perfect day to cuddle up with your dog and just fall into a nice comfy sleep......

 

My first idea for getting a good nights sleep is to have a comfortable place to sleep, and if possible have your dog cuddle close with you to keep you warm and safe....By Pam's side at night, she has to fight for her place on the bed BUT once she does we all cuddle close and we all are warm and toasty and safe at night.

 

Until tomorrow,

Off to get my good nights sleep,

A new challenge- time to SLEEP!

February 1, 2015-

The challenge is SLEEPING!...What better challenge than this right?....Everyday....we will be talking here about SLEEP and how you can get a better nights rest!

Everyone should be getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep a night, actually I think it should be 8-10 hours....but everyone is different right?!?!??! You have to see what works best for you!.....If you are unsure, you can always check with your doctor. Your dog needs their sleep as well.....and we will be talking about this as well........

Tonight my first challenge is to get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep- real sleep- no interrupted sleep......
Topics we will cover this month are:
Light
Noise
Electronics
Cuddling
Temperature
Room Color
Organization
Cleanliness/ dust/ etc
How all this affects your sleep.....and so much more.....

So tune in everyday for a new topic and learn how you can improve your sleep.....
Our challenge will be accompanied with a fundraiser for LI-Dog......who promotes the establishment of dogparks, afterall a tired dog is a happy dog who needs sleep!

Here is the link to donate:

Oh yeah after the month....this blog and more will end up as a book "Sleep with your Pets!"
So come back tomorrow,

As January comes to an end......

January 26, 2015-

Winter is here and is helping January go out like a LION!......A blizzard is going on outside as I write this blog!

I cannot wait until tomorrow to roll around in the snow and become a white dog, hey it's not easy being black all the time.......I love it but it's nice to camouflage myself in the snow so Pam cannot find me right away! She looks for me and it does take her longer to find me! Hehehehehe.......

Anyway to rest between romps in the snow, Pam makes an igloo or at least a dugout so we can all hangout on the grass ( or a thin layer of snow- so we do not have to sink into the snow) and roll around and be outside without freezing the snow as well.....she cares about us and we care about her.....so in between her shoveling snow we will call out to her to come and stretch with us and drink water because even during those snowy days we need to keep hydrated as we lose water as well.

Ok, until tomorrow when we hopefully have lots of photos and videos of all of us in the snow,
Candycane

Anything goes......

January 1, 2015-

Yep, that is me lurking around the backyard......My name is Candycane!

I live with my fellow bloggers and co authors of "Get Your Leash On!"

 

Over the past 15 years, I have learned ANYTHING GOES.....as long as no one, no animal, or any part of the environment gets hurt! So this blog will be about letting loose and being free, being yourself and not being afraid to do or ashamed in anyway.

 

So let loose this year and let anything go.....things may turn out better than you might have thought they would!

 

Check back tomorrow to see what ways I have in store for you to let go and be carefree and enjoy a healthy and happy life!
