Do your dogs wiggle with excitement when they see you coming with their meal?  If not, you may not be feeding them ALPO®  Wet Dog Food.  My dogs love the stuff.  Seriously.  I am not using that word for dramatic effect.  They freak out when they are treated to it, which is why they are loving the ALPO® wet dog food campaign!  I am loving it because I can rest assured my boys are getting what they need good nutrtition for a healthy coat, strong bones and a happy life!

Do you remember when I shared the video of my dogs going to town on this stuff?  The bigger one straight up booted the smaller one out of the way to get to his food.  The funniest part is when my overweight beagle is in total denial that the food is gone and is licking the bowls with frantic urgency!  You can view it for a quick chuckle here.

Have you seen LEGO Minifigure Family holiday card creator?  You can make a card featuring your entire family, heck even the pets!  What can't you build with LEGO?  

You can add up to 13 family members, each of which can be customized to match skin tone, facial expressions, hair and outfits.  The adult Minifigs have a lot more options compared to kids and pets, but you can still have a lot of fun customizing your Minifigure Family.  We went all holiday, with a my husband starring as Santa, Gingerbread me, and the girls in their festive red.  You don't have to go holiday.  There are tons of backgrounds from which to choose.  The beachy background made me wonder why we weren't doing Christmas oceanside for once, but if you are, you have that option too!

This is a great activity for the kids, and allows them to create their own holiday greeting for you to share.  Print, email or share on facebook!  The site gives you the options to share as you would like, and you can turn on or off the sharing of family names.  The interface is super easy to use, and fun too.   Young and old alike will enjoy.  We had a blast playing around with the different facial expressions, outfits and background scenes.  If you and/or your kids like LEGOs, and let's face it, they do this will provide some family entertainment that can be turned into memories for years to come.  

Head over and create your own.  Comment here with a link to your card.  I would love to see it!  Happy Holidays!

Recently, I shared with you  some facts you can find on ALPO'S HOMEPAGE.  Some of the points I shared are that it provides high quality protein, essential vitamins and minerals and all the nutritional requirements for health and longevity.   ALPO® demands high quality, safety and manufacturing standartds from the suppliers of each of their ingredients.  When you treat your dogs their line, you can rest assured that they are getting what they need good nutrtition for a healthy coat, strong bones and a happy life. 

My crazy Jack Russell, Bovie, and his "big boned" brother, Ripley, were lucky enough to have a chance to sample ALPO® Chop House T Bone Steak Flavor in Gourmet Gravy.  I just had to get the experience on video, and I must say it is pretty entertaining.  Watch as the overweight Beagle helps his slower eating brother, and his denial that the food is all gone at the end of the video!  Tails wagging, bowls clean as can be after all is said and done, it is clear that this nutritious food is a hit here in our home.

ALPO wet dog food certainly brought excitement during that mealtime, and delivers great taste, nutrition and variety. Visit them on ALPO’s Facebook Page for product updates!
