<h2 style="text-align: center;">
THE DOGGI STORY</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their story began a few years back when founder, Ronny Thompson, relocated to Atlanta in pursuit of a job
opportunity. At the time, he was living in a studio apartment with his
dog Cesar in the heart of Atlanta. Ron strongly believed in the
importance of providing Cesar the best diet possible. After filling his
bowl with premium dog food then filling his water bowl with ordinary tap
water that smelled like chlorine and tasted like chemicals, it didn’t
make much sense. While doing a little research, he learned the chemicals
found in tap water may cause your dog serious health issues including
liver or kidney damage and even increase risk of cancer. This
ultimately inspired Ron to create the first commercially available all
natural vitamin beverage for dogs.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Initially he met with leading canine and
nutrition experts regarding the benefits of premium ingredients for
optimal nutrition. His goal was to create a premium beverage that not
only eliminated contaminants but also included substantial nutritional
benefit to support a healthy balanced diet. After speaking with
recommended holistic veterinarians and top selected breeders, a unique
combination of real organic fruit and ultra purified water was
formulated and Doggiwater™ was created. The vitamins and minerals in
Doggiwater™ allow dogs to enjoy the benefits of superior nutrition while
reducing their exposure to harmful chemicals.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><span class="yiv997931886Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">After reading about this new company, we have to say it really peaked our interest. After all, we do feed our dog organic grain free dog food ...but we had never thought about the water we give them. Since we drink filtered water, shouldn't they? We love the thought and research behind the concept and it that it gave us something to really think about. What we always love most are companies that give back to the animals and community. This product is definitely worth trying! <i> </i></span></span> </div>

Apryl, the creator of Bija Collars. Don't forget to check her website for more great designs! Did we mention that a portion of sales benefit animals? Another reason we love Bija Collars.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hqeV-kMZNjU/T4N9WT1NyPI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/M58aZe1bHPM/s1600/bij.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hqeV-kMZNjU/T4N9WT1NyPI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/M58aZe1bHPM/s320/bij.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729560973179472114" border="0" /></a><br />About Bija Collars:<br /><br />Bija, an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "seed", is a fitting name for the little chocolate brown pit bull who is the inspiration behind Bija Collars. In 2008, Bija was dumped at the local marina with large puncture wounds on her head and bite wounds over her body. Unfortunately, her story is not unique... it is a story that is way too common. The term Bija is a metaphor for the origin, beginning, or root from which all arises. We began learning, crafting, and refining the skill of making leather dog collars in 2009 not knowing exactly where it would take us. We have grown into small company composed of two dogs and one woman... Bija, Bodie, and Apryl. We live in Berkeley, CA near our University Ave workshop.<br /><br />We create custom hand crafted collars, leashes, and belts with a primary focus on dog collars. Our collars are strong and are designed to be worn on a daily basis. We select the highest quality hardware... stainless steel and solid brass. We don't really use patterns and have developed the hand eye skill to do most of our work without them. This means each collar is made with the utmost concentration and a whole lot of our blood, sweat, and tears. We enjoy our work and always keep in mind the beautiful doggie soul who will wear it.<br /><br />You may choose one of our designs or a custom design. We have a tendency toward non conformity and we love to think out of the box... let us know your ideas and we will work with you to create a totally unique collar for your one of a kind pooch!<br /><br />Driven by our respect for animals and our committment to homeless, abused, exploited, and neglected dogs, we are active members of the local east bay dog community. We love all dogs yet we are particularly devoted to bully breeds as they are one of the most abused, neglected, and misunderstood of dogs. We hope our business will help bully owners educate the community about the beauty, loyalty, love, and affection that is a pit bull. 10% of our sales go to local non profits dog rescue groups.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wK__D71rJZ0/T4N-HxZvC8I/AAAAAAAAAVo/HPi2fxEJm1s/s1600/bij3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 291px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wK__D71rJZ0/T4N-HxZvC8I/AAAAAAAAAVo/HPi2fxEJm1s/s320/bij3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729561822930865090" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6jr4IEOwQI/T4N-PjromRI/AAAAAAAAAV0/4TG9ofhEvlQ/s1600/bij4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6jr4IEOwQI/T4N-PjromRI/AAAAAAAAAV0/4TG9ofhEvlQ/s320/bij4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729561956686797074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />About Apryl<br /><br />Apryl is a Bija Collars Artist, Owner of Bija Collars, and Mom to Bija and Bodie. In 2009, she left her former life in higher education at UC Berkeley to pursue a more independent, creative, and dog friendly lifestyle. Inspired by her woodworker Dad who built strong and beautiful furniture while she was growing up, Apryl brings these same qualities to her leather work. While less is probably more and her style tends to be earthy and rustic, Apryl still believes that BIG, BOLD, and SHINY can be a whole lot of FUN!

Does it get any better than that??</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;">PLUS we love the look and the amazing color options!<br /><br />They also have an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91128012/the-k-leash-a-collar-and-leash-custom">Etsy Shop</a> and the K-Leash is ONLY $19.99.<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(click above to shop)<br /></span></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oH6pZiIp-so/T2oX2i4zazI/AAAAAAAAAVE/a64o4gQVo80/s1600/k.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 93px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oH6pZiIp-so/T2oX2i4zazI/AAAAAAAAAVE/a64o4gQVo80/s320/k.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722412502373067570" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;"> <br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;">The People Behind the Business: </span>Last summer on an afternoon drive through the south fork of Long Island, Megh and Kurt of the K-Leash stopped at a beach bar outside Montauk.With them was Bustar, their best friend and miniature dachshund. As an avid beach enthusiast Bustar expressed an interest in joining them (waggy tail) but they neglected to bring along his leash. What they did have was some scrap sailing rope and a set of splicing tools. That afternoon in the driver's seat of their car two simple splices were built into a length of red sailing rope and the first K-Leash had arrived. Since then they added several new K-Leash models using similar concepts.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" ><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" >ABOUT THE K-LEASH: </span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The K-leash is a modern rendition of the martingale collar. It is hand spliced rope custom fit to the width or your dog's neck. The eye splice adjusts to a larger loop to slip over your dog's head. It is placed around the dog's neck and with a simple slide of the hand adjusts to a custom secure fit for your canine. When your pup tries to pull his or her head out of the collar, the tension on The K-leash pulls the eye splice taut preventing escape. When adjusted properly the dog is never choked, but the eye splice collar stays snug around your dog's neck.</span><br /></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6q1ez0W34y8/T2oPSwM3GpI/AAAAAAAAAUg/fIqhdpZfN1Q/s1600/k2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6q1ez0W34y8/T2oPSwM3GpI/AAAAAAAAAUg/fIqhdpZfN1Q/s320/k2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722403091378543250" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The K-leash is made from recycled sailboat line. This line is an anti-abrasive cover made to withstand the toughest loads and harshest seas and often sells for $10+ per foot. We found we had piles of expensive extra rope too short for any boat and two feisty pups who like to escape and chew through everything. So, we decided to use our creative splicing skills, save some money, and re-use all those left over rope ends. Now we want to share our design with you and your pup. We can guarantee your dog will have no chance destroying this line. It's also safe enough for the laundry, it's colorful, and it's custom made!</span><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ryri2PU6zA/T2oWAm2idoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/-PPDOEbsrlk/s1600/BennyonBustar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0ryri2PU6zA/T2oWAm2idoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/-PPDOEbsrlk/s320/BennyonBustar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722410476212745858" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >MEASURING:</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> To measure for The K-Leash, find a soft tape measure or a piece of string. Measure at point A, B, and C in the drawing shown. Provide us with a message stating A,B,AND C, to ensure that your K-leash fits.<br />For some Pups their measurements at points A & B may be the same or close. Choose the measurement that is large enough to slip over the head (point A) but not too large to fit correctly at point B.<br />In other words, choose the smallest size that will still fit your dog. If your dog has a 15 inch neck we will design your K-leash to adjust from 13-18 inches.<br /><br /></span></div></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;" ><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OxeNsxxwfJQ/T2oQoiWYJSI/AAAAAAAAAUs/Mm58fqEtdco/s1600/k3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 288px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OxeNsxxwfJQ/T2oQoiWYJSI/AAAAAAAAAUs/Mm58fqEtdco/s320/k3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722404565129110818" border="0" /></a><br /></div></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Animal Outfittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073656529941439264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022935486811105130.post-17361001724056291542012-02-07T17:08:00.000-08:002012-02-07T17:18:05.617-08:00Get to Know Kathy Kuhl of Nelli Designs!<span class="”fullpost”"><br />Nelli Designs was inspired by the passing of Kathy Kuhl’s first dog, Maggie, and the subsequent adoption of a rescue dog named Nelli in 2008.

While toying with the idea of designing a creative and attractive wrapping paper, Carolyn (designer of Papergirl Designs) discovered several creative concepts. Because of her love for dogs and interest in the niche market, she settled on a dog- themed visual. Her designs were so well-received by friends and colleagues that she decided to have them printed; she eventually created coordinating greeting cards and gift tags to offer a complete gifting package. The line is available through <a href="http://papergirldesigns.net/">papergirldesigns.net</a>, several on-line shops and many stores in the Philadelphia area<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 277px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683470402483653554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JjbZRwGjN34/Tt--N_98C7I/AAAAAAAAASc/9ii8lL1cX0I/s320/3.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TSakRmiXLHE/Tt--DfqgDhI/AAAAAAAAASQ/J4apX-JIHOM/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 271px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683470222013500946" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TSakRmiXLHE/Tt--DfqgDhI/AAAAAAAAASQ/J4apX-JIHOM/s320/2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2loJuUrhbkI/Tt-9_Xmy_DI/AAAAAAAAASE/Q_Apn6X-8gs/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 262px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683470151131003954" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2loJuUrhbkI/Tt-9_Xmy_DI/AAAAAAAAASE/Q_Apn6X-8gs/s320/1.jpg" /></a> Carolyn's experience spans over 25 years in the graphic design field.

People ask me all the time about pet products we sell or promote, and I thought it was important to tell the stories behind these wonderful businesses and their creations. Who are the designers, what is their inspiration, and why are their designs so incredible?! Well, we are going to tell you.<br /></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Get to know ERIN REA of Modern Pet Portraits</span></span><br />Erin is a Los Angeles based Graphic Artist, who has always had a great love for animals. As an owner of 2 cats (Harlow and Bogie, inspired by a couple of her favorite classic hollywood icons, Jean Harlow and Humphrey Bogart), a dog foster, and animal rescue volunteer/advocate, it brings her joy to have the opportunity to combine her passion for animals with her career. She enjoys creating modern, fun portraits that capture the attitude of each pet and make their owners smile for years to come.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Np4woh9NgMc/Tt0LMWo1jBI/AAAAAAAAARU/D958mSSqkLc/s1600/Harlow.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Np4woh9NgMc/Tt0LMWo1jBI/AAAAAAAAARU/D958mSSqkLc/s320/Harlow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682710611674631186" border="0" /></a><br />She runs an Etsy shop dedicated to creating modern, custom portraits of your lovable pets. Just send in a photo of your pet, choose from a large selection of colors and background prints, and she will design a portrait of your best friend. You can also have the portraits printed on a variety of different gifts, from notebooks to dog bowls to pillows. These make great gifts for animal lovers; and with the holidays approaching, she even offers holiday cards featuring your pet!<br />www.ModernPetPortraits.etsy.com<br /></div><div> </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Each portrait she creates also helps animals: 10% of all sales will be donated to Much Love (an animal rescue that Erin volunteers for). They're an organization dedicated to rescuing abused, neglected and homeless animals from the streets and shelters of Los Angeles and placing them in loving homes. ALL donations go directly to the animals’ care and help provide food, shelter and medical treatment.

What a great idea for our senior pets! </div><br />This is a dog jacket is designed with the blind dog in mind. There are adjustable straps across the chest and stomach, a reinforced plastic tube 'halo', and a supported panel across the back for optimal performance. This jacket is not meant for larger dogs and would probably be best for dogs under 40lbs. Each jacket is custom made to fit your dog so the 'halo' will bump into things before your pups head does. After a short time your dog will adjust to the apparatus and move with much more confidence and safety.<br /><br />Click on the posting title for more information...it's hand crafted and such a great idea.<br /></div>Animal Outfittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073656529941439264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022935486811105130.post-103637488438698332011-10-11T19:35:00.000-07:002011-10-11T19:40:45.419-07:00Puppies vs Babies: Who is Cuter?<div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lvh7B94DSqU/TpT-Hf5W6uI/AAAAAAAAAQg/BnKTy_9SDxA/s1600/frog.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 166px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662430036286171874" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lvh7B94DSqU/TpT-Hf5W6uI/AAAAAAAAAQg/BnKTy_9SDxA/s320/frog.png" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">I saw this blog post and I couldn't resist?! </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It's a contest to win $5,000 to the cutest baby or puppy...who will win?!!!

I was so worried how she would do around a baby, and she is as gentle as can be. The biggest challenge is getting her to stop licking him (especially his little toes...which she like to nibble on). He can't keep his eyes off her! Every time she walks by he reaches for her and wants to hold her face. I have a feeling they will keep eachother very entertained once he is a little older..and I love that. </div><br /><div><span class="”fullpost”"></span></div>Animal Outfittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073656529941439264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022935486811105130.post-38897246079219303492011-04-02T20:47:00.000-07:002011-04-02T21:00:10.608-07:00DIY Aviary.

The writer of this blog discusses how she turns an old wardrobe into an aviary for more flying space for her birds. How awesome is this? Not only one of the most creative ideas I've seen, but it looks incredible. I love the antique shabby chic look of it, not to mention the amount of space the birds now have instead of being stuck in a small cage. Well Done.</div><br /><div align="center"></div>Animal Outfittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073656529941439264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022935486811105130.post-13962831909079057922011-04-02T15:18:00.000-07:002011-04-02T20:37:37.669-07:00Loss of one and gain of another..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7GNxptbQevk/TZeoyTqotSI/AAAAAAAAAOM/lG-Ttqsw4nM/s1600/DSC02120.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591123044629787938" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7GNxptbQevk/TZeoyTqotSI/AAAAAAAAAOM/lG-Ttqsw4nM/s320/DSC02120.jpg" /></a> <br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">It has been too long since I have updated Animal Outfitters blog...and I have so much to share! Where do I begin?! Good news or bad news??</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Let's start with the good news. Baby stuff. Benjamin was due October 6th, 2010...and as the date got closer my belly was so big I thought I was going to explode. The Dr. tried to induce me at the visits leading up to my due date, and with a few false alarms....still no baby. So, on my due date I went to get a prenatal massage and the massage therapist mentioned some techniques that might get labor started. "Sure do whatever you think will help" I said sarcastically (assuming it wouldn't work of course). An hour later the massage was over, and she told me it doesn't always put women into labor but she had tried her best. She left the room, and I stood up to get dressed....and then I felt a trickle. I looked down. "Oh my gosh, I just peed myself..how am I supposed to walk out of here with wet pants" I thought to myself. Then I realized...my water had broke. I went flying out of the massage clinic..."gotta go the baby is coming soon!"</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">or so I thought.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">I got home, took a shower, blow dried my hair, finished packing my bags, called the dog-sitter...and waited. I felt great, no pain at all. Man, this labor business is a breeze. I finally called my Dr, and they said to head to the hospital to get things started. We got there, and still I hadn't had one single contraction. So they started the pitocin to get things moving. I was in labor for 22 hours and still no sign of the baby coming...so I ended up with a c-section. I'll spare those details, but basically it wasn't fun. Then there he was. 9 lbs 4 oz and a beautiful healthy baby. I was in love. Then the sleepless nights came...and well, the next 4 months is kind of a blur. If you have kids, you probably know what I'm talking about. Benjamin is now 6 months old, and the love of my life. I could talk about him for days. He is perfect and I can't imagine life without him.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Now comes the bad news. We lost one of our dogs. Miles (president of Animal Outfitters) had kidney disease since I adopted him 8 years ago. In January, we got the news that his kidneys were getting worse along with some other issues. After a few months of medication, and many visits to the vet...I got the call. We had a few days to say goodbye because it was time to put him to sleep. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Saying goodbye is never easy. Miles was part of my family, my best furry friend, and I miss him dearly. I still look for him sometimes and remember he isn't here. I am so thankful to have had him for so many wonderful years...but I can't help but wish he were still here. </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">That is the official update at our house. Loss of one life and the gain of another. Reminds me to live each day to the fullest and appreciate those you love, because life truly is too short.</div></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZlmQFgwYzUk/TZeoH3C75OI/AAAAAAAAAOE/CzXIoNEi9bk/s320/love.jpg" /></div>Animal Outfittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073656529941439264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022935486811105130.post-2248510340324356782010-09-29T10:10:00.000-07:002011-04-02T20:42:52.727-07:00Holiday's are Coming!

Apparently, a 4D ultrasound can determine the sex of the baby at 15 weeks. As soon as I read this, I was was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I told Nick about it, and it took some convincing..but he agreed to go at lunch time the same day. We got to the office and the wait felt like forever (in reality it was more like 10 minutes). Finally, it was our turn. As the technician poured a gallon of goo all over my belly, I looked over at Nick who was video taping the whole thing. I was a little surprised he had brought his video camera, and I couldn't help but laugh at it. The 'proud dad' was already coming out of him and the baby isn't even here yet. That's just like Nick though, he was meant to be super dad. So that ultrasound began, and since I was only 16 weeks the baby resembled an alien. OR as the tech put it nicely, it looked a bit skeletal. The baby was sitting with it's legs crossed (tightly) and one arm back behind it's head. It looked as though it was enjoying a day at the beach. The only thing missing was a tropical drink with an umbrella. The tech couldn't tell the sex since the legs were crossed so tightly, so she started shaking my tummy around. I think it scared Nick, and he blurted out "Hey, don't shake the baby!!" in a nervous voice. The lady looked at me, and I told her to do what she had to do.. Finally, 15 minutes into it....the technician said "look, look, there it is!!! GIRL...(I held my breath thinking that meant it was a girl) THAT IS A BOY!!!!! Oh yeah, THAT'S A BOY!" And there it was, the answer to my 4 month question. I looked at Nick who had the biggest smile on his face, he got his boy and I got mine. We called our families to let them know the exciting news! On the drive home I looked over at Nick and said " I can't believe we are having a baby". He looked back at me and said "and it's a boy!". It was a great day.Animal Outfittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05073656529941439264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4022935486811105130.post-27919197473101073002010-04-29T09:23:00.001-07:002011-04-02T20:42:52.729-07:00Beat the Summer Heat, awesome summer products for your pets!!<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u9_UOL-zrYw/S9myt8KIJSI/AAAAAAAAAIk/KP4pb_C8zc0/s1600/summer+slide.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 170px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465596125103269154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u9_UOL-zrYw/S9myt8KIJSI/AAAAAAAAAIk/KP4pb_C8zc0/s320/summer+slide.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.animaloutfittersonline.com/">http://www.animaloutfittersonline.com/</a> has a great new look for summer!
