New Life KORU BEAR A Gift from An Angel

December 31, 2017

Today marks the 7th-month since we officially adopted KORU BEAR. His adoption is unexpected but so grateful to have another Golden Love. Here are five things about KORU BEAR …

New Life KORU BEAR

New Life KORU BEAR A Gift from An Angel

1. KORU means “new life“, a name we added to his given name BEAR.
His name was inspired by the ‘swirl or spiral pattern” on our logo’s background design. From Wikipedia, “koru (Māori for “loop”) is a spiral shape based on the shape of a new unfurling silver fern frond and symbolizing new life, growth, strength, and peace.”

2. When Angel SUGAR moved to California, the first Golden she met was KORU BEAR’s mom – Raven, an English Cream Golden Retriever.

3. The first six months of KORU BEAR’s life, he was raised by Colby from Puppy In Training to be a service dog for the Guide Dog of America.

4. Among his litter mates, KORU BEAR was the only one that did not pass the “umbrella temperament test,” but he surpassed the “retrieval temperament.”

5. At six months old, KORU BEAR’s trait as a cautious dog and having difficulty adjusting to different situations caused his change of career … Our promise to puppy raiser Colby is to provide KORU BEAR a new purpose in life – to bring love and smiles to others as a therapy dog.

This year, KORU BEAR is our new life gift of love especially after losing angel SUGAR our, of a kind Golden Love. Looking forward to sharing more of Koru Bear’s life and adventure in the new year 2018.

I Sleep With Dogs Home Decor Pillow #ChewyInfluencer

December 19, 2017

Woofs! Did you know that Chewy carries a variety of home decor goods? For this month, we received I Sleep With Dogs home decor pillow.

I Sleep With Dogs Home Decor Pillow

Chewy sent KORU BEAR a pillow from their new home decor goods. Golden Woofs is helping spread the word about Chewy’s product and services. Golden Woofs only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers.

Pawmazing that Chewy expanded their product offering and added home decor goods. Some of the products they offer are doormats, wall decor, picture frames, outdoor decor, linen & pillow, drinkware & kitchenware, and ornament.

I Sleep With Dogs Home Decor Pillow

The pillow we received is trendy and very popular (it’s already out of stock). This pillow is from Primitives by Kathy and made with soft cotton blend fabric.

The neutral color easily blends into any existing decor. Our couch is full of pillows? Why? I was told that having multiple pillows will eliminate a dog to jump on the couch. Oh well … as you can see it did not work. KORU BEAR has several dog beds and just loves to be on the couch.

The saying is fun and pawfect for dog parents or dog lovers. I Sleep With Dogs home decor pillow also makes a pawsome gift idea. We invite you to check out Chewy home decor goods.

Holiday Pet Travel Tips Gift Ideas

5 Holiday Pet Travel Tips Plus Gift Ideas

1. Have a PLAN
Research and learn about your destination. It’s essential that you plot the rest stops and every 3-4 hours provide care for your pet; like drink water, go potty and stretch. Also, in case of emergency, make a list of veterinary hospitals along your way.

2. Car Safety Precautions
Keep your pet safe in the car with a travel harness or crate. The backseat is the safest spot for dogs to be.

KORU BEAR uses Sleepypod Clickit Terrain, a high-performance car safety harness. This dog harness was rigorously tested and performed to Sleepypod’s high safety standards. Center for Pet Safety rated Sleepypod Clickit Terrain 5-star.

Visit sleepypod.com for more information about Clickit Terrain and other Sleepypod’s award-winning pet travel accessories.

3. Pet Friendly Accommodation
A great majority of pet friendly hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts that accept pets. Red Roof Inn loves pets and pets stay free with no hidden charges and no cleaning fees.

Pet Friendly Accommodation at Red Roof Inn

“At Red Roof, bring your four-legged family member along.
And, unlike other pet friendly hotels, there are no additional charges.”

4. Bring Other Necessities
Besides all KORU BEAR’s necessities, I also bring the following items:

a) Toys, Toys, Toy
As a young pup, it is important to keep KORU BEAR active and entertained.

Hol-ee Gourmet Turkey Leg

The JW Pet Hol-ee Gourmet dog toys are pawfect two-in-one treat toy that encourages interactive and rewarding play. KORU BEAR’s loves the Hol-ee Gourmet Turkey Leg.

Chuckit! Locator Sound Ball

KORU BEAR loves balls and a fetch fanatic. On our travels the Chuckit! ® Locator Sound Ball is pawfect. This ball discharges an audible pulse sound every few seconds to help both pet parents and dogs locate the ball in any terrain after launch.

b) Pet Care
To keep your dog clean, the Quick Bath pre-moistened wipes are pawfect to use. The extra thick and heavy duty wipes is ideal for big dogs like KORU BEAR.

Quick Bath Pet Wipes

The Tushee Wipe Quick Bath is a convenient way to clean-up your dog (cat or other small animals).

WHIMZEES Brushzees Dental Treats

It’s important to care for your dog’s teeth when traveling. Dental chews WHIMZEES are KORU BEAR’s favorite. WHIMZEES’s vegetable-based texture helps remove plaque and tartar. The fun chew shapes plus knobby grooves help hard to reach spaces and scrape away plaque and tartar build-up.

CALMZ Anxiety Relief System

Some pets get anxious going to new places. The CALMZ Anxiety Relief System is a wearable solution to help dog anxiety. It’s a non-invasive therapeutic device that helped KORU BEAR a lot during our hotel stays.

5. Keep it Normal
Keep your pet on their regular schedule; like feeding them and taking them for their walk as close to the regular time as possible.

Most of these pet travel gift ideas are available on Amazon, Chewy.com, PetSmart, Petco and other pet retailers.

Have a safe and wonderful travel with your pet.
