We Challenge YOU to Take the #Purina #Paws4Life Pledge

This post brought to you by Purina®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Sweet Pennies From Heaven.

I’m a dog lova!! Always have been. That’s why I was happy to take the Purina® Paws 4 Life Pledge at Sam’s Club. Before I tell you about the pledge (which I’ll be challenging YOU to take too!) I want to tattle on and brag about our pooches.

We have 2 furbabies. Our rat terrier Pepper and our boxer, Izzy.

These two, let me tell you…can melt my heart in one instant and then make me want to pull my hair out the next.

They’re like kids – muckin’ and gommin’ (that means making a mess, in case you didn’t know), fighting, playing, rough housing and all sorts of other “doggie dysfunction”.

(Pepper the ratty on the left, and Izzy the boxer on the right.)

These 2 like to eat ENTIRE loaves of bread. Uhh, yeah. That’s happened twice in the last 2 months. They’re sneaky and love to grab things they shouldn’t off the counter.

They’re both super smart. Pepper doesn’t have to do anything special for treats cause she’s just a brat, but Izzy will do several tricks for hers. She plays peek-a-boo, will give you a high-five, prays for you, and plays dead when you say “bang bang!”….haha! It’s seriously the funniest thing ever!

Here’s an Instagram photo I just posted the other day with Izzy – after she tried her darndest to catch a ground mole.

Because of my love for them, I went to Sam’s Club online and took the Purina® Paws 4 Life Pledge. We challenge YOU to do the same, pet friends!!

It’s easy, just click on the image below and share via your Facebook and Twitter just like I did!

It only took me a second to take the pledge, and share to my Facebook and Twitter!! I love that Sam’s Club and Purina® are doing this. It’s a sweet and loving gesture to make for our pets. Sam’s Club always has terrific ideas going on, plus they’re the perfect place to grab all things pet related. I love their bulk deals and we all know a happy pet is a healthy pet.

So, will you accept my challenge and take the #Paws4Life Pledge?

Switching to SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula Can Save You Hundreds

May 5, 2014 by Jenni 45 Comments

This post brought to you by Sam’s Club. All opinions are 100% mine.

The first moment that I realized I was really a MOM, was the day that the husband went back to work. I was alone….just me and wee wittle man.

The time came for a diapee change. Off comes the diaper, and before I could get the other one on — the phone rings and then….

……….he poooooops. One of the “explosive” ones too. Ugh. The only thing I had handy to shield myself with, WAS my hand. As I answer the phone, with baby poo on my hand — I sobbed. It was my mom. She asked, “Why are you crying?” and I replied with….“he just pooped on my hand!” — I then hear honking laughter on the other end of the line.

{Thanks MOM! Yeah…I know. You’ve been there before!}

Because I was a new mom, I was very picky about the formula. I breastfed for the first few weeks, but then to save my sanity — I began using formula. We used an expensive brand of formula that costed us a pretty penny each month. Gaahhh! If I had all that money now, I could go on 3 vacations! If I had known then about the SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula from Sam’s Club, I would have totally switched!

They have 3 different varieties to suit each itty bitty baby. Whether you use the Baby Care Gentle®, Baby Care Complete®, or Baby Care Sensitivity® SIMPLY RIGHT™ Infant Formula – each provide the best nutrients and nummies for your baby. Clinically proven to support growth and development, now with Lutein for brain and eye health.

Check out the scoop and leveler!

(This will totally make those 3am feedings seem a little less dazed and confused!)

I got a little nosey and decided to see just how much money I could have saved by using the savings calculator online at Sam’s Club. I compared the cost of the formula we used vs. the cost of the SIMPLY RIGHT™ brand and I then got a little cranky! Geeze O’ Pete!!!! I would have saved over $600 in a YEAR! Break that down and it’s a whopping $50 bill each and every month! How much would YOU be saving?

Treat Your Dogs to the Beggin® Party Packs – Now Available at Sam’s Club

March 24, 2014 by Jenni 5 Comments

This post brought to you by Sam’s Club. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you give your dog treats? Maybe while teaching them new tricks or just because you love them?! Pepper, our ratty, loves her treats. There are so many treats out there but she’s always been a fan of the Beggin® brand of treats.

Sam’s Club members recently placed votes on the new Purina® Beggin’ Party Pack flavors and the winners are in! The winners are Bacon flavor, Bacon & Cheese flavor and then Collisions: Bacon & Cheeseburger! All of these flavors can now be bought together in a Beggin® Party Pack (each bag is 14 oz.) and can be found at Sam’s Club!

We got Pepper when she was about 6 months old. We instantly started house-breaking her when we got her and YES! We used treats to train her. She loves all different kinds of treats, but we stick to doggie treats and snacks. People food just don’t mesh well with her belly, although she tries. She follows little man around all the time just hoping and praying he’ll drop something.

All 3 of these new Beggin® Party Pack flavors will be a big hit with her. She loves all snacks with those flavors……who doesn’t LOVE bacon, cheese and burgers?!? I like to buy most things in bulk when I can, and that’s another reason why I love Sam’s Club. I can always find great deals there so I’ll be able to stock up on her favorite treats too.

I often have to bribe her with treats. We live in the country, and most of my neighbors have dogs too. If she accidentally gets loose off her lead, she’s GONE! Gone with the wind!!! It’s not uncommon to find me walking the road with a handful of treats. What can I say….she’s a little rascal!

What sorts of treats do you give your furbabies? Do you think they’d like these new Purina® Beggin® Party Pack flavors? The next time you’re in Sam’s Club, be sure to grab a pack! Your pooch will thank you!

Here’s an Instagram photo I just posted the other day with Izzy – after she tried her darndest to catch a ground mole.
