Carolina Pad: Stand Up Collection Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

We love our pets! We have two miniature dachshunds, who were our first babies named Lilly and Macie! Bella also has a hamster named Trena. When we first got Lilly, only a few months after getting married, she really was our baby. We would take her everywhere with us and let her sleep in our bed. A year later we decided she needed a friend and so we got Macie. They didn't hit it off at first. Lilly didn't want anything to do with the new puppy! A couple of days later she decided to give Macie a chance and they have been best pals ever since. A lot has changed since we first brought Lilly home! We have had two children and now our kids just adore their puppies! Our dogs bring a lot of love to our home! Our days are always filled with the barking of Lilly and Macie! They bark when we come home, they bark at the mail man, etc. They give us a lot of love too! Below is a picture of Macie and Bella.


Why am I telling you our dogs' life stories? Carolina Pad is introducing their new product line that benefits the Humane Society of The United States called The Stand Up Collection. I received some items from this collection to review and I love them! You can see The Stand Up Collection pictured below. Our pets are so important to us and this is a cause that's important to me! With a new school year approaching in August, why not purchase your child's school supplies from Carolina Pad's Stand Up Collection? You'll feel good knowing that some of the proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of The United States.

-I believe that our cat Booster was a Guardian Angel. My Mother was diagnosed with 4th Stage Breast Cancer in 1997. She was told to go home and get her affairs in order because she was going to die. When she was very sick with Chemotherapy, my Father went to the local shelter and got Booster for my Mother to help cheer her up. Booster was very loving and "took care of" my Mother while she was sick. My Mother's Cancer went into remission and she is doing great now. The doctors were amazed. I know that this sounds crazy, but we believe Booster helped to heal my Mother. She was a VERY SPECIAL Cat. She was more like a person than a Cat. Booster died on August 10, 2009 from Cancer.

I have never been an animal person. Well, that is until we got our first pet as a family 8 years ago, a lab named Beau. We have since had tons of fish and turtles, even an armadillo. Lol. We now have three dogs and a guinea pig. Anyway, I am a huge animal lover now, to the point that I stop and save turtles from being run over in the middle of the road. It kills me a little inside when I see an animal with no home, or worse, hit on the side of the road. I had decided to get an old truck when we move to the country in two years and have plenty of room to go around and pick up strays. Well, since then I have talked to the Humane Society of LA and am thinking of trying to start a chapter here sooner than the two years. I work in a town where the homeless animal population is HORRIFIC!!! No one will do anything. That parish actually has a chapter of the Humane Society but they don't have a shelter, they only do foster families and there are too many there for that. I have almost quit my job because I can't handle it. I do what I can now but there are animals there starving to death every day. And I know they are fighting dogs but I can't prove it. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would love to hear them.

And all this from one chocolate lab named Beau. Lol.
