We saw this guy in Walmart in Washington, North Carolina. However, he was only in the box and not out on display, so we were curious to find out more about what this cutie could do.

We looked him up on the Walmart website and learned that he is called “Holiday Time Life-Size Animated Golden Retriever Christmas Figurine,” and is available for $89.

We figure dog lovers like us, and especially Golden Retriever fans, would probably be happy to add him to their holiday displays.

The dog plays three holidays songs and has 10 sayings.

We also found this video on youtube showing him in action:

We saw this inflatable, 3.5 foot tall holiday lawn decoration at Walmart for just shy of $15.

While, as dogs go, he might not scare away intruders, he will likely spread holiday cheer.

Here’s what he looks like out of the box:

We also saw this cute Boston Terrier for $14.98. Although he wasn’t displayed outside of the box in the store, he looked cute on the package.

Get in the holiday frame of mind with these hilarious dog and cat stuffed animals

October 13, 2019October 19, 2019bullingtonb2013 Leave a comment

Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe visited Big Lots in Greenville, North Carolina last night and had some fun playing with the holiday animals that are on display there.

We think these will be big hits with animal lovers.

First up is a Christmas cat rapping MC Hammer style to the tune of “Can’t Touch This.” As you can see, he has a little help from one of the mimicking snowmen, which we also found adorable.

Next up is this really adorable dog, who barks “Jingle Bells.”

Third, we have this striped cat, performing to the tune of “Baby Got Back,” again with the help of a snowman on a nearby shelf.

So, after all our playing with the different stuffed toys, which one do you think we bought?

Well, we brought home this guy, the cat rapping to the tune of “Can’t Touch This.” Here he is, once again.

We figure he’ll get along nicely with our guilty pleasure collection of performing stuffed animals, including this Christmas Egg Droppin’ Chicken we bought last year (from Tractor Supply).

And, this fuzzy dog we bought from Big Lots two years ago.

We definitely have growing collection. Some of our other past stuffed animal purchases for other holidays or special occasions include:

This guy singing “The Cupid Shuffle.”

And this hilarious graduation llama, singing “Good Feeling. We got him at Walmart.

What will next year hold for our collection? We have no idea, but we will keep you posted!

Until then, MC Hammer cat, hit it one more time:

Doughnuts for dogs

We were in Sheetz in Greenville, North Carolina today when we saw a display with all kinds of fancy dog treats, including these Doggy Dough-mutts.

As you can see, they look good enough for people to eat. They look so good, in fact, that we did a double take when looking at the package because we just wanted to make sure they were actually for dogs.

According to the Cosmo’s Snack Shack website, only six ingredients, including sweet potato, are used in this otherwise decadent-looking snack. And, if you’re wondering, the doughnuts are actually hard like a dog biscuit, not soft like real doughnuts.

We tested them out on our dogs, Scooby and Caramel. Scooby ate his immediately.

Below is Caramel taste-testing hers:

We found this cute Black Tinsel Cat decoration in the Halloween decoration section at Big Lots in Greenville, North Carolina.

At just $8, you might want to take home more than one to decorate your home this fall and/o for a Halloween party. And, although it’s being sold as a Halloween item, we think it’s cute enough to display all year.

Sustainable dog treats

February 13, 2019March 16, 2020bullingtonb2013 3 Comments

Reading Time: 2 minutesWe first found out about Piggyback Treats at a vendor booth in an outdoor Philadelphia market during a vacation when family members bought a scarf for their dog, Meadow, along with some treats (including a large bone that helped keep Meadow happy in the hotel room).

Meadow got a lot of compliments on her scarf while being walked on the streets of Philadelphia, BTW.

Anyway, Piggyback Treats has a cool story, so we thought we would share a little of it.

Their goal is to create each preservative-free treat from an original recipe with a main ingredient that is a “rescued” food item, such as fallen apples from orchards and by-products from butcher shops. In the process, they work with local and regional businesses to help reduce their food waste.

The treats are made by a chef and packaged in Philadelphia, but if you can’t make it to Pennsylvania, no worries. You can also visit their shop online at https://www.piggybacktreats.com/shop where you can find a wide array of treats for your dog(s), including pumpkin bones, dehydrated wild caught salmon skins, and peanut butter bier bones.

And, yes, you can also get a hand-crocheted pet scarf like Meadow has (or in other color combinations and sizes).
