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 :)

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
