Pup of the Week: Hollyfield and Roloff

Welcome to the first ever Pup of the Week posting!  Our two featured pups, Hollyfield and Roloff, come to us from Chandler, AZ.  I met their wonderful owner, Kristin, through Etsy where she ordered her two lucky pups some stylish new feeders.  Thank you to Kristin for contributing to my first Pup of the Week posting- hope you and your pups are doing well!

Now check out these two fun pups!

NAME:  HOLLYFIELD

Breed: Boxer

Age: Almost 2

Owners: Kristin and Steven Mares

Hometown: Chandler, AZ

Favorite toy: Anything that squeaks... but they don't usually last long.

Favorite Food: Eukanuba Boxer

Pet Peeve: Goofy coated dogs - any Doodles or funky terriers.

Favorite Pastime: Wrestling with us in bed right before we go to sleep - happens every night.

Naughtiest Deed: Eating the couch! She was in so much trouble!

Hollyfield is a great friend, always down for what we want, and her face is like a velveteen rabbit!

NAME: ROLOFF

Breed: Dachshund
Age: Almost 2

Owners: Kristin and Steven Mares

Hometown: Chandler, AZ

Favorite toy: Anything that his sister wants - and he can destroy it faster than she can.

Favorite Food: Eukanuba Dachshund

Pet Peeve: A messy bed. He makes his bed every time he gets on it.

Favorite Pastime: Staring at light reflecting onto the wall or carpet. He will literally stare at a spot on the carpet for over an hour without moving. He has psychiatric problems, maybe!

Naughtiest Deed: Always licking our mouths! And he is so fast, you can't escape.

Roloff is our right hand man, always by our sides, cuddled up next to us.

BVP's Back!!!

At long last I have more time to focus on my little love, Bella Vita Pet! I will be making a few changes over the next few weeks including disabling my website and using my blog as my main site for Bella Vita. Since I am selling mostly on Etsy now it just makes sense to have a fun way to communicate with my friends and followers!  To kick things off I am offering a contest to win any 2 pieces:  a chair & water bowl, a bench and chair- you choose any 2 you want!  Read at the bottom of this posting for details on how to enter!

A recent bit of good news is that Dog Bed Works is now selling my chairs through their website. It took a couple months to get all the pictures, styles and details migrated to their site and I'm happy to report that it is up and running now. Click here to view my chairs on their site!

I also may be featured soon on People Magazine's Pets website, peoplepets.com. Believe you me, you'll know if and when I do get featured :)

The other bit of exciting news is that I am (finally) working on a large 2-bowl bench feeder. I get many emails from Etsy members asking for a larger version of my bench feeders... so at long last I am happy to say it is in the works and should be available in the next month or two!

I'm also going to be introducing many new fun styles using some awesome flat sheet wrapping paper I found at Paper Source- best. store. ever.

DRAWING DETAILS
All you have to do to be entered in the drawing is follow my blog!  Click "Follow" in the top right-hand corner of this page.  All followers as of midnight on Friday, May 28th will be entered to win any two Bella Vita Pet pieces!  You can get them for your pups or they make wonderful gifts!  If you have any questions, please email me at bellavitapet@gmail.com.  Winner will be announced by Monday, May 31st.
