Day-Z and I (and I'm sure plenty of Orem residents) have been waiting for 4 years for the promise of a dog park in our city. It has finally started to come true.
The new bark park is up Provo Canyon at Timpanogos Park.
There is crushed granite inside the park and seed has been spread to grow some grass for the dogs. It isn't completely finished, but the official grand opening was Saturday, May 20, 2017 at 9am.
The mayor was there for a ribbon cutting ceremony and every dog in attendance received a fun tennis ball to take home.
The park has two sides for big and little dogs, double gates, fire hydrants on both sides, a drinking fountain for both dogs and humans, poop bag dispensers, and benches for owners to sit on. More trees for shade and other improvements are in the works says Orem City.
It's the end of the summer season and that means the public swimming pools are closing. There is a day between when the pool officially closes to the public and the water is drained where the community can bring their dogs to swim.
There were separate times for small and large dogs to play.
The entire pool area was open for them to run and play off-leash.
The dogs were having so much fun playing and splashing.
Some even went down the waterslide.
There was a swimsuit and talent contest.
It was a pawsome event put on at Provo Recreation Center!
It's just another reason I love living in Utah County.
My dog is super picky when it comes to eating her food and treats. I was given a bottle of Zesty Paws Pure Salmon Oil at a discounted price for her to try out. To her, this is a tasty treat with body nourishing benefits for her digestive system, joints, and coat.
I simply added the recommended amount to her dog food and she ate it up super fast.
It is full of all natural Omega-3 and 6 nutrients and is perfect for all size dog and cat breeds.
My favorite part about this product (besides the fact that Day-Z is willing to consume it) is that it is manufactured in the USA.
WARNING: you might get some very fishy smelling kisses from your dog after they eat this product.
My dog Day-Z and I go on adventures together all of the time.
Walking with dogs means you have to pick up poop. It's a fact. I have a history of having doggy poop bag bundles unroll as I try to grab one from my bag or middle console in my car. It makes a mess and then a bigger mess when I try to roll it back up and then I get frustrated.
Now I have a new Petoyo® EarthFriendly dog waste bag with dispenser. It is like a whole new world with no more bag roll mishaps. The dispenser is easy to open and refill. I would think most bags would fit in the dispenser, but these bags are great. They have a light scent that isn't too overpowering, but might distract you from the stink you are picking up for your pooch.
The bags measure 9x14 inches each. They aren't the thickest bags I have used before (eco-friendly), but they are leak proof so you don't have to worry about getting a mess on your hands.
The dispenser comes with a tiny carabiner that I like to attach to my leash. My niece likes to attach it to the belt loop on her pants. It is great for travel or to take on simple walks with your dog.
Make your life easier and get a waste bag dispenser if you don't already own one!

Christmas is approaching fast. For all of you who still have shopping to do, here are a few ideas of gifts to give for those hard-to-buy-for people.
For your pet lover friend:
#1 If you know someone who has a dog that sheds like crazy like mine, the Devoted Doggy bucket front seat cover might just be the perfect idea. It is easy to set up, has waterproof quilting to protect from any accidents, and has a non-slip backing to reduce the chance of the cover sliding around under your pet. #devoteddoggy
#2 My dog likes to go for a run at night before bed to get her energy out. The Pet Pal's LED dog collar is fabulous. The fit is comfortable around Day-Z's neck (adjustable fits between 40cm/16 in to 60cm/23 inches) and the color is bright (3 settings: steady on, slow flash, and fast flash). It has a long lasting battery life (up to 45 hours of constant usage with low cost R2032 battery. When it is time to replace the battery, it is super easy - you just need a coin or a key. #petlover
#3 This wasn't an issue at my house until Hershey arrived. For those with big barkers, the Superior Bark Collar is a great investment. Don't worry, it is humane and still effective to use. This collar has 7 levels of sensitivity, is rechargeable, and adjustable for small to large dogs. It offers a progressively increasing warning sounds and give a harmless static stimulus when your doggie woofs. BOTH sound and vibration triggers the collar so it does not give false readings like other collars. #SuperiorBarkCollar
Ahem, for your outdoorsy friend:
I have recently found a new love for camping hammocks. This Heavy Duty Hammock is fabulous. I have a few bigger guys in my family so this is perfect for them because it can hold up to 400 lbs. It is an XL (9'4" by 6'6") lightweight parachute nylon hammock great for backpacking, camping, hiking, or goofing off at home. Your purchase includes a built in drawstring carrying bag, tree ropes, and black steel carabiners making it easy to setup, take down, and store. #XLHammock
For your artsy or super busy work presentation friend:
Whether you like to move around the studio a lot OR are in charge of the presentations at work, the US Art Supply 36" Black Steel Easy-Folding Easel is perfect. It is lightweight (3 lbs), fully collapsible (folds easily to only 15" for storage), easy to set up/take down, and has non slip rubber feet for stability. #usartsupply
For the travel mama (or daddy):
I think this Snug Travel Bed is super cool for those of ya'll on the go with a little one. You can pack this and travel stress-free (ok with less stress). It is a nanny bag that doubles as a baby bed. It weighs a mere 3 lbs and unfolds to 92cm in length and 33cm wide. You just have to unzip, unfold, and you have a simple bed for the babe to catch some zzz's. It has a shoulder strap that you can wear so you have hands to hold the baby. It is lightweight. It is made from soft material and is easy to carry and clean. Most importantly, it is safe and soft for the baby to sleep on it. #BabyTravelBed
