Jake and Maggie’s First Pet Expo Experience
We had a beautiful weekend here in the burgh and what better way to spend a sunny afternoon with your pup but take them with you to the Pittsburgh Pet Expo. Jake and Maggie had a day of firsts from riding an elevator, to walking the streets of Pittsburgh, to attending the Pittsburgh Pet Expo. I was hesitant at first because this could have been sensory overload for them but as Thomas and I...

Tree Hut’s Brown Sugar Body Scrub
Happy Friday everyone! If you are like me, I love Friday!!! I always look forward to my weekends with Thomas and the dogs. Thursday night I start planning what I'm going to wear, how I'm going to wear my hair, and coordinating my makeup with my outfits. I know...crazy, huh? A girl cannot wear a red top with bright pink lipstick...at least not on me anyway! I try and do posts on Friday...

Two Adorable Labs has a new look!
I’ve been hinting about new changes with Two Adorable Labs and I can finally show you!!! Check out our new logo and new look by Kaila Piepkow at www.dox.design.
Kaila has been amazing to work with. She took her time in getting to know me, my vision for the brand I wanted to create and my style first before jumping right into the job. Her process is organized, well thought out, educational, and she is patient especially with clients like myself who are first timers. Her and her staff were on-time, if not early, in completing my requests.
There are three very important members of her staff…her three adorable weens…her Doxins…Finley Piepkow – Secretary Ween, Ferb Piepkow- Chief Secretary Ween, and Felix Piepkow – Office Intern Ween who I had the pleasure of meeting during our web meetings.
I knew in my first meeting with Kaila, she would be loyal to me, smart in helping me create my logo and design, and help educate me in pushing my vision for Two Adorable Labs to new levels. I would like to thank you, Kaila, for helping me and look forward to our future plans for Two Adorable Labs!
We will be working on a monthly newsletter and providing my new Pet Travel Guide when you subscribe.
I would like to thank Salene Mazur Kraemer Photography for their quality photography, patience, and fast timing in taking and processing the professional photos of me, Jake, and Maggie for my new website! It was Jake and Maggie’s first time at a professional photo shoot and they did amazing!
Sincerely,
Bobbi Jo, Jake, and Maggie

What is Vegan leather?
This is a re-post and update to What Is Vegan Leather? and my related blog post What Does Cruelty Free Mean? I was recently contacted by Greg McFarlane, Director of Vegan Australia, about my inaccurate information pertaining to the meaning of and definition of what Veganism actually means. Greg has been involved with the animal rights and vegan movements for the last 10 years and is currently a...

Where were we?
I've been MIA on my blog posts but I've been here the whole time. The problem is that I made my website using Weebly and they only allow me so many posts a month! I had used up my allotted postings and then had to wait for a new month to begin. Yes, I could upgrade, which I have but I'm not upgrading again. Why you ask...well, I'm working with an amazing web designer to give my site an...

Snake skin prints are so in right now!
You all know how excited I was about my snake skin boots because I blogged about them last week (HERE) and now I've completed the outfit. I typically shop everywhere to pull an outfit together. If I get lucky which sometimes I do at Macy's, I can pull an outfit together pretty quick. My sister called to say Kohl's were having a sale (20% off entire purchase) so we headed up to Robinson...

Snake Skin Boots from 6pm.com
Every spring and fall I clean out my closet and move my clothes and shoes around and I love doing this. I once had a friend tell me I was crazy but honestly, it does a few things for me. It makes me feel like I accomplished something and keeps me organized. When my closet gets messy, it drives me nuts. It also allows me to see what needs thrown away or taken to Good Will for donations. It...

Proud Dog Chef
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I've been wanting to tell you about a cookbook that I purchased called The Proud Dog Chef written by The Proud Dog Mom. She has a blog called www.prouddogmom.com that I've been following and really enjoy reading her articles. I found her through another blogger from Pittsburgh called Wear Wag Repeat by Tori Mistick at www.wearwagrepeat.com. Their blogs are unique...

Book Review – The Wife Between Us
As promised, I wanted to give you a full book review on "The Wife Between Us". This wonderful book is a Novel by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen that I purchased via on-line at Barnes and Noble. This book was soooooo good! I love to read and the title caught my attention but was hesitant about making the purchase because I had never read anything from these authors before. But after...

Visiting California
Ok, so I did not make it to CA this year and I did not take these pictures but I had to share with you because I think they are amazing. Thomas had to make a business trip to San Diego, CA and on one of the off days, he visited the San Diego Zoo. He took our new Nikon 4500 with him and shot these pictures around town and during his visit to the zoo. I think he did an amazing job for being an...
