Enter to win! #DogKarma Sponsor: Opie & Dixie!

September 29, 2011 Filed Under: #DogKarma

One of the things I’m excited about with the #DogKarma Prize Pack is the opportunity to share some of my favorite dog products with you.  Opie & Dixie products are absolutely a favorite of mine.

Argo and Stella are itchy dogs, and if I use the wrong shampoo when I give them a bath, they’ll be scratching for days.  Opie & Dixie’s line of organic grooming products are gentle on their sensitive skin, but unlike many sensitive skin products I’ve tried, they actually get the job done.  I did a review of an Opie & Dixie product for TheGreenists.com last year, and you can read it here.

About the Opie & Dixie items:

  • 8oz Organic Gentle Puppy Shampoo
  • 8oz Organic Botanical Creme Rinse and Condition  
  • Lavender Snoutstik

About Opie & Dixie:

Debbie Guardian developed Opie & Dixie products as a solution to her dog, Opal’s itchy, irritated skin.  She focuses on organic and biodynamic ingredients, and works hard to keep the packaging recyclable.  Even Opie & Dixie’s labels are made with concern for the environment.  You can read more about practices and ingredients they do and don’t use here.
You can follow Opie & Dixie on Facebook & Twitter.
This post is a part of the #DogKarma Prize Pack to encourage dog rescue!  But you don’t need to rescue a dog to enter!  If you’re not planning to adopt a rescue dog in the near future, you can still enter.  If you win, the Good Karma necklace is yours to keep, and we hope you’ll donate the dog goods to your local rescue to help them with their amazing efforts to help dogs find forever homes.

    The pet I wanted most when I was a kid was a dog. For a few years I was pretty ill, so it was a really big deal when my mom finally decided I could have a dog. :-)

    Our school had a white rat that the kids could take home for the night if their parents said it was OK. He was pretty cool, I would have liked to have one of my own.

    I wanted a box turtle because my babysitter had one, and I thought he was really cool.

    I wanted a dog. We lived in an apartment for most of my life, and it physically ached every time I thought about it. My dad got a dog when I was in high school, and while it was awesome to have a dog by proxy (he didn’t live with us), it wasn’t the same. It took over 20 years for me to get my dog, but I finally have her, and she’s amazing :)

Okay, fine. Her jacket is reversible and we kinda Okay, fine. Her jacket is reversible and we kinda match. I admit it. Alright? We all knew this was coming. None of this should be a surprise to any of us. #dailyroxydog #huskychihuahua #dogjacket #peoplewhomatchtheirdogs

We are in the habit of starting and ending our day We are in the habit of starting and ending our days side by side in our lawn chairs, while the light rises or dims. It’s still chilly at the outer edges of the day. Sometimes Roxy shivers. I bought her a sweater, but she won’t wear it. Sometimes I try to wrap her in my jacket, but she’s not having that either, so I throw her ball and try to get her run and then she comes back to her chair, warm for a little longer. #dailyroxydog #huskychihuahua #dogssittinginchairs

I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic ant I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic antique store sometime in November and didn’t buy it. But then, of course, I kept thinking about her. She’s the perfect size for my office, and I found those drawer pulls hilarious. When I finally went back in December, I told myself I was shopping for wall art, because I assumed she would be gone. But she was right where I’d seen her last: balanced on another dresser with boxes of old picture frames and tchotchkes piled on top (the true mark of a magic antique store). I didn’t even realize she had a towel rack — that she was a wash stand, not a dresser — until I asked about the price, said I’d take her, and my favorite magic antique store person asked if we needed to unscrew the towel rack to fit her in my car. I suspect this little sweetie is not from the days of necessary wash stands so much as from a country kitchen in the 80s. She was in rough shape, and not made from wood worth stripping and re-staining, but her price reflected that. I had to disassemble that door and put it back together, but I’d been in the market for some experience working with old furniture, and she made me feel brave about trying. I thought about painting her something more neutral, but I’m so glad I didn’t. She deserves to be pink. She’s not perfectly painted and needs a few touch ups. I learned some things about chalk paint and finishes. The drawers stick a bit. Eventually, I’d like to line them with fabric and when I do, I might plane the edges to smooth things out. But goodness, I love her in a way that I wouldn’t if I hadn’t spent time cleaning away her cobwebs and scrubbing the grime from her hilarious drawer pulls. She’s also become a little shrine for the book I’m working on, which makes me love her even more. I’ve always been a person who sees some soul in certain things, and I’m learning to cherish that idiosyncrasy, because there’s so much joy to be found in a brave little toaster or an underdog wash stand. We’re not here in the world for all that long. We may as well love some bright little things. #furnituremakeover
