This Blog Needs More Room!


So here is the deal…I was the St. Louis Pets Examiner and Alternative Health Pet Examiner for Examiner.com. I have a ton of articles sitting on their site. I recently learned that the site was shutting down and those articles will no longer be available on the web. So! I figured what better place to park them but right here “In the Little Lion’s Den”, right? 

Some of the articles are informative, some or newsworthy, but I am hoping you will find all of them interesting and keep returning to see what’s new. You can join this site by going over to the right and scrolling down aways. That way, you will get notified (or should!) when I post something new.

You could even bookmark the site and return whenever you want to. There are lots of articles to read here and I will be adding more almost daily. Sure some of it might be “old” news about dogs and things, but you may still find it an interesting read.

Do me and the little lions a favor, if you would. We enjoy reading comments and we enjoy seeing our blog shared. If you enjoyed what you read, or even learned something new…leave us a comment and let us know. Share our blog with all your pet friends too!

The Little Lions and I hope to see you back here soon! Until then…


Keep the paws moving!

Pure Balance Canned Dog Food: My Little Guys Love This!

Just when you think you have found the perfect dog food, you read about a recall on it. What’s a pet parent to do other than keep switching food, or make your own? You get tired of reading and reviewing, but you want the best quality you can afford for your dog, right? Well, here comes another review, and it might just be your last one.

So, what makes Pure Balance canned dog food so great? DogFood Advisor has given this food a 5-star rating and gives a full break down of reasons for such a high score on their web site. They also state:

“Judging by its ingredients alone, Pure Balance canned dog food looks like an above average wet product.”



Pure Balance dog food was launched as Walmart’s first ultra-premium food and contains no soy, wheat or corn additives, no artificial colors, no preservatives and no chicken by-products. It comes in a variety of flavors that will surely please even the pickiest of dogs. It can be purchased in 12.5 ounce cans that recently starting coming with a plastic snap on top in case you don’t need to use the entire can at once.

You can also purchase Pure Balance canned dog food in a package bundle of smaller containers. The bundle has 12 small 3.5-ounce plastic tubs in it. One such bundle has 6 chicken dinner tubs and 6 beef dinner tubs. The chicken dinner states that it is in gravy with peas and sweet potatoes.

The beef dinner comes with gravy, carrots and sun dried tomatoes. The small tubs are very convenient for smaller dogs or can be used to serve up as a treat or snack for larger dogs. Customer reviews both on the Walmart site and on other sites rave about Pure Balance and say that their dogs “gobble it right up.”


Dog food reviews can get tiresome and you can get confused as to what is good for your dog and what is not. It’s a never ending battle, it seems, to find the perfect food. Try a can or two of Pure Balance canned dog food and you may never have to read another review again!

We Takin’ Over this Blog!

Our Mommy, she be really busy writing on some of them there sites she says she knows she will make some of that money stuff. That’s what she uses to trade for me and Stormy’s food we like so well.  So anyways being she is so busy us two decided that most we could do was run this blog thing for her. It’s about us anyways and who knows us better than me and Stormy.

So here goes!

My name is Gizmo. I’m gonna tell you about me because I am the oldest. I been living with Mommy since I was about 12 weeks old and I am nearly 8 now.  Daddy got me and brought me home to live with her cause she was real sad when Daddy’s Mom passed away. My job was to cheer Mommy up and I think I did a good job of it.

She called me a fur bundle and started smiling a lot more than when I first got there. Mommy carried me to the mailbox cause I was so little and I got to carry the mail back in in my mouth…she didn’t make me or nothing, it was just fun!

Pretty soon I learned what it meant when she said “Mail” and I got to walk out there with her and carry it back in. Some of those envelopes was almost as big as me! Big people laughed at me, but I didn’t care! It was another one of them jobs I was doing for Mommy that made her smile.

Anyways, we been together a long time I guess cause now some of the family is calling me old guy. I got to admit that sometimes I feel it, but that’s okay cause Mommy still takes good care of me. We been through lots a rough patches.

Bout 6 years ago, Daddy got real sick and didn’t play with me much anymore. Mommy was real sad and talked about cancer. I don’t exactly understand that word but its real bad I guess cause now Daddy went away. Me and Mommy were both really sad for a long time but I pitched in and helped as best as I could, even before Daddy went away.

Daddy seemed to like it when I laid my head on his arm while he was in that hospital bed Mommy got him. Mommy would sit in a chair by his bed and I would reach over from her lap and rest my head on his arm. He would even smile sometimes. But then Daddy was gone and I didn’t understand why he didn’t come back. It made me really sad and I could tell Mommy was really sad again to.

I tried to look all over the house for him, but I couldn’t find him. My looking seemed to make Mommy even sadder, so I quit doing that, even though I really wanted to. I got excited when his truck pulled up outside, but it was always someone else that came in the door and I got really disappointed.

I stuck pretty close to Mommy after that cause she seemed to feel better when she was holding me or cuddling on the bed. My fur even helped soak up her tears, but that was okay, it was part of my job and I really love my Mommy. Anyway, me and Mommy hung in there together and we did get better, even though we still miss Daddy very much.

After a few years of it just being me and Mommy, Stormy came to live with us, cause he needed a home. But that’s a story for another time and I’ll let Stormy have a wak at this writing stuff. So far, it’s been fun for me, even though I had to tell you all a sad story.


Stick around, cause me and Stormy are supposed to help Mommy out and we is going to keep on writing on this thing she calls a blog. You guys got to keep coming back to see what we got to say, cause that will help Mommy too!
