Isn’t that what these cars are saying?
“Police Officer, please give me a ticket because either I cannot read or I just don’t care about the laws!”
If I was a police officer, I would be all over this road.

As a Pedigree Ambassador, Chloe has been pacing the fence telling all the neighborhood dogs all about the benefits of Pedigree Dog Food. There seems to be a problem though with housemates Rosie and Maggie. They seem to think this Pedigree Ambassadorship has gone to Chloe’s head so we will let them speak their minds today.
Chloe: Seriously? But I am the Pedigree Ambassador! My fans want to hear what I have to say!
Me: Now, now Chloe. I guess I can see why Rosie and Maggie think this has gone to your head! So let’s speak to Maggie first. How are you today Maggie?
Maggie: Now what just a minute. You see this! Chloe won’t even let me be in a picture by myself…SHEESH!
Me: Ok Mags, calm down. Let’s just move past that. Do you think I should continue to feed you and Chloe Pedigree dog food?
Maggie: Do cows moo? Do cats meow? Do rabbits run from me? You bet I do! Don’t you remember when I was stealing Chloe’s Pedigree for Large Breeds? I mean it was DELICIOUS! But hard to eat because my mouth is so much smaller than hers. So thanks for getting me Pedigree for Small Breeds!
Me: You’re welcome. Glad to hear you like Pedigree so much. I will definitely continue to buy it for both of you. Can you tell me what you think of Chloe’s coat? Is it more shiny? Does it look healthy?
Maggie: Why does everything have to be about CHLOE? Look at that picture! Although Chloe’s coat looks nice and shiny since starting Pedigree, check my silky shine out! My coat is the talk of the neighborhood!
Chloe: Seriously Katie, are you going to let her talk like that? MY coat is the talk of the neighborhood Maggie. I am the Pedigree Ambassador! Pffft.
Me: Ok you two. That is enough. You both have lovely coats and I do believe Pedigree has helped in the shine and reducing the dander for sure. Let’s talk to Rosie now. I know she can answer a few questions.
Rosie: Yea, sure, talk to me. The only dog in this house unlucky enough not to be able to eat Pedigree. Whatever.
Me: Rosie, you know you are on prescription diet food because you, my dear one, have a thyroid problem. Until you lose 10 pounds, you will not be able to eat any other dog food. After you lose that weight, we will put you on Pedigree Healthy Weight Dog food. OK?
Rosie: Ok…but seriously. Look at her! She had to be in my picture too. Please Katie, tell Chloe to get a grip.
Me: I will Rosie, I will. You are Chloes best friend and the one who is the closest to her. Tell me about her breath?
Rosie: Well, I am a little miffed honestly. You know Pogo, the dog from up the road? Well he once told me he though Chloe was cute, but her breath was too much to handle. So for a while when he was on walks, he would wink at me. And I of course, playing hard to get, I would just bark my head off. But Now? That dog winks at CHLOE when he walks down the path and doesn’t even look at me! He is nothing but a hound dog I tell you! So yes, Chloes breath has definitely improved after eating Pedigree, but did she seriously have to take over Pogo?
Me: Rosie, you are not allowed to date – or did you forget? But thank you for letting me know about Pogos flirting. I will have to talk to his owner about that.
Thank you for your time Chloe, Rosie, and Maggie. I will tell you what I think about Pedigree. I honestly did not believe it would help Chloe’s breath – But it did. Tremendously. Her coat is truly more shiny now and for sure her dander has decreased since she started eating Pedigree.
She really has never had any issue with digestion or immunity so I cannot comment either way on that. However, I will say I will definitely continue to feed Chloe and Maggie Pedigree Dog food and once Rosies weight is under control, I will feed her Pedigree as well (she does have a real medical issue).
I was proud to be a part of the Pedigree Ambassadorship even though it seems to have gone to Chloe’s head, and you can bet I would recommend Pedigree Dog to my friends and family.
Until Next Time…

I wrote this review while participating in an Ambassador campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Pedigree and received dog food to facilitate my reviews and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

For the last few days, poor Maggie (the dog) has been sick. Vomiting, diarrhea, and plain old upset stomach. And let me just tell you – YUCK at having to clean it up. I was trying to figure out what in the world was making her sick. We didn’t change her food. She is not on any medicine.
But then I remembered. We have a peach tree in the backyard and there are so many peaches falling off it Maggie uses them to play catch. And yes, she plays catch with her self. However, I have also seen her chewing on them. And what do you know. Peaches just happen to be poisonous to dogs!

I have to have a Thyroid Biopsy Friday…..UGH. I had one last year. And let’s just say I was not the most pleasant patient. It’s not that I was rude or mean, I was just seriously FREAKED OUT! I was not expecting it when I went in, so I was a little shocked.
Here’s how my Thyroid Biopsy goes down:
1. You lay flat on your back with your chin tilted up. Yea…the perfect view of the needles they are going to be sticking in your neck.
2. My doctor gave me a shot of lidocaine (or something like that) so that I did not feel the needles penetrating my neck. The only problem with that is…it doesn’t numb the inside…so..you will feel it.
3. She gets the ultrasound ready because, oh yea, they can’t see through your skin, so they have to use an ultrasound to guide the needle around your veins, windpipe, etc. Lovely.
4. It is about this time, seeing the needle coming at my throat that I think I started panicking. Now, I am not afraid of needles at all. But what I kept thinking was “Holy Cow…she can’t see where she is sticking that needle. She is going to stab me in the windpipe!” I am breathing heavy and she says, “You need to hold your breath otherwise the needle will move.” OMG..Seriously OMG!
5. Once the needle is inserted into your neck, it moves around to find the nodule that needs to be biopsied. Once located, it is not just “Oh here it is, we are done!” NO! It is, “Oh here it is…let me push it in there and push, and push, and push, and push…and push.” They are trying to get a sample into that needle tip..and it is difficult. The worst part is, they don’t do it just once. They do it on several nodules to get a good sample….that same “insert needle…push…push…push”. And honestly, the only way I can explain the way I felt was that it felt like I had 20 pens stabbing me in the neck. I am so not joking.
6. Once all the biopsies are taken, if you are bleeding they will put a band aid on your neck. If not, you are good to go.
As for any side effects from this procedure – Last year I did not have any. None. My neck was a little sore that day, but after 24 hrs it was perfectly fine.
If you have to have a thyroid biopsy, here is my suggestion for you. Try not to worry about it. It is totally miserable when it is happening, but if you relax, close your eyes and just “go with the flow” it will be over before you know it.
And who knows? You might not have the same experience I did…this is the internet you know. You only hear of the stories of bad experiences. It is rare that someone would write a blog post about a thyroid biopsy that was all peaches and cream.
I will keep you updated!
