The Fur Mom

I'm a dog mom raising 2 sets of littermates with my better half in the PNW. Keep the Tail Wagging shares about raw feeding, natural supplements and pet safe products.

My cat's eating (and loving) raw by @radcatrawdiet 😁♥️🐺 After years of frustration trying to get my cat off the #kibblecrack, being judged harshly by cat lovers, and knowing that he needed to be raw fed - I am finally happy to say that he is 80÷ raw fed. WHAT I FEED MY CAT @radcatrawdiet A spoonful of @weruva BFF pouch Supplements by @thetwocrazycatladies I am so very thankful to the amazing raw feeders who gave me the idea to mix the soft with raw. Now Cosmo DEMANDS his raw. Stay tuned for a blog post on KeepTheTailWagging.com. #lifewithacat #rawfedcats #catsarefamilytoo #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #keepingitraw #keepthetailwagging (at Marysville, Washington)

I love spying on my dogs. They are sleeping every time but I still look. #dogsarefamily #lifewithdogs #keepthetailwagging #rawfeddogs #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #barfmodelrawfeeding #frankenbarf #mydogseatbetterthanido #bordercolliemix #muttsofinstagram #keepingitraw (at Seattle, Washington)

100 squats a day. Exercise and #intermittentfasting16hours helped me drop 4 pounds and 8% body fat but I still have 10 pounds to go 🏋️‍♀️ Why sit and watch @unrealtv when you can squat? #dogmomstyle #keepthetailwagging #keepingupwithmydogs #bringingsexyback (at Marysville, Washington)

When you're sitting in your car waiting for a friend so you can do some retail therapy, it makes sense to knock out a video about dogs eating grass. #lifewithdogs #keepthetailwagging #rawfeddogs #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #barfmodelrawfeeding #frankenbarf #mydogseatbetterthanido #dogpeoplearethebestpeople (at Marysville, Washington)

Thank you to the #nationalrawfeedingweek sponsors. @darwinspetfood @incloverpet @ewegurt @system.saver @systemsaver These are all products that are in my home. 5 years ago, Darwin's Pet helped me transition my dogs to raw and saving my sweet Rodrigo. In Clover Optagest is the prebiotic of choice that is helping me build my dogs' native gut flora. Ewegurt is fantastic for dogs with anxiety while also supporting gut health. And Canine System Saver supports joint health and the immune system. Thank you for helping me keep my dogs healthy and happy. #keepthetailwagging #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #barfmodelrawfeeding #frankenbarf #mydogseatbetterthanido #dogpeoplearethebestpeople #muttsofinstagram #iwroteabook #anovicesguidetorawfeeding

I didn't create #nationalrawfeedingweek to get hugs and gifts, but I'll take them 😁♥️🐺 Thank you, @thetwocrazycatladies - you know me well. I love OxyCAT and CATalyst. #lovemyfriends #girlfriends #womensupportingwomen #womenstrong #catpeoplerule #rawfeedingcommunity #lifeofablogger #keepthetailwagging #lovemylife #blessed #happyhappyjoyjoy (at Marysville, Washington)

Sometimes you just have to treat yourself with a new book, a quiet room, hot tea, and dogs. This is the plan after #nationalrawfeedingweek wraps up tomorrow. Don't forget the #dogcancerseries giveaway over on #keepthetailwagging blog. And I will be doing a FB Live tomorrow on the #keepthetailwagging FB page at 8 am PST. Thanks so much for joining me for this great event. #lifewithdogs #keepthetailwagging #rawfeddogs #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #barfmodelrawfeeding #frankenbarf #mydogseatbetterthanido #dogpeoplearethebestpeople #muttsofinstagram #iwroteabook #anovicesguidetorawfeeding #kickedoutraw (at Seattle, Washington)

Waiting on a delivery of rabbit for the dogs. Excited to have found a local source not far away that delivers!!! I think they thought ibwas joking when I asked for 50 pounds. I like feeding rabbit because it's a lean meat and excellent for Rodrigo who can't eat chicken, turkey or beef. PS my cat is now 1/2 soft food and 1/2 raw!!! He loves #radcat. #lifewithdogs #keepthetailwagging #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #barfmodelrawfeeding #frankenbarf #mydogseatbetterthanido #dogpeoplearethebestpeople (at Marysville, Washington)

What an amazing surprise. My friend @katrina404 always knows what I need when I need it. #nationalrawfeedingweek has been a labor of love. It was a tremendous amount of work to put all of this together and I am so excited that it's being received so well. 10 years ago, I didn't know what a blog was. Today, my blog has helped me find many of the amazing friends I have today, including my Touch Stone, the woman who is honest when I need the truth, fierce when I need a bulldog, and hilarious when I need to laugh. I am so F#$%ing Blessed. #lifewithdogs #keepthetailwagging #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #dogpeoplearethebestpeople ##bestfriendsforever (at Seattle, Washington)

Stopped by @amanisalonseattle for new #crochetbraids install. Thinking of going longer next time and maybe 1b30 instead of 1b27. Subtle difference. I love that I started doing this a few years ago. My #naturalhair is long and healthy after decades of chemical relaxers. With 4 dogs, I don't have time to mess with my hair. So I don't. #blackhair #protectivestyles #blackdontcrack #curvywomanstyle #freetressprestocurl #dogmomstyle #tooglamtogiveadamn #curlsrock (at Shoreline, Washington)

I cannot believe how much work has gone into #nationalrawfeedingweek - I'm exhausted but elated. I have been inspired by the many people I have spoken with on this adventure to change the direction and focus of my blog #keepthetailwagging. Lately I have allowed myself to get distracted by the negativity in the pet food industry (thank you, Kimberly (not me) for pointing this out) and I am going to bow out and leave that fight to others and return to my original focus of feeding my dogs a healthy, raw food diet. Thank you to everyone who joined me in this many discussions and shared your experience and knowledge on raw feeding, Keto diets, but health, essential oils, choosing grooming products and more. #lifewithdogs #keepthetailwagging #rawfeddogs #rawfeedersofinstagram #lifeofablogger #speciesappropriate #barfmodelrawfeeding #frankenbarf #mydogseatbetterthanido #dogsarefamily (at Marysville, Washington)
