Tongue Contest!

A few weeks ago, I challenged my friend Moby from Our Waldo Bungie to a contest to see who's tongue is the longest!  Well, friends, the time has come and that contest starts TODAY!

First I will provide you with my fool proof evidence to prove that my tongue is, in fact, the longest.  Then, you will be supplied with a photo of Moby and a link to his blog so you can head over there to read his evidence on why he thinks HE has the longest tongue.  Lastly, at the bottom of this post, you will be given a link to click on where you can vote for the Corbin whoever YOU think has the longest tongue! 

Now, what would a contest be without some prizes?!  The tongue with the most votes will receive 1 bag of Orijen Freeze-Dried Dog Treats from Chewy.com and a $25 donation to their favorite animal rescue from the tongue with the least amount of votes! 

Okay, now are you ready to see my supporting documents?

Here we go!

This here is the Corbin tongue.

This here is the side view of the Corbin tongue!

The length of my tongue comes in handy for many things....

Which way is the wind blowing?  My tongue says "Thatta way!"

What time is it?  The tongues says Beer O'Clock!

What foods did the momma leave stuck to her face? Noms!

Treats headed for foster sister? Nope! Corbin tongue in for the steal!

What time is the momma cooking dinner?  My tongue say 6:30!

Noms on my face?  No worries, my tongue will get them.

Are you at a sporting event and getting bored?

No worries! The Corbin tongue will start the wave!

Halo Treats

NOMS!

 

These treats were so good, I was licking my chops before we even tried them!  We were asked by Chewy.com to review some new treats.  We decided to try the Halo Healthsome Skin & Coat treats.  They were delivered right quick directly to my door!

 

I was ready to take off with these noms!

 

These treats are a little bigger than a Corbin nose. I like that size.

 

Oh my, they smell so yummy!

 

Amelia was excited for her taste test too!

 

She takes her treats very gently.

 

We both agree that we should get more of these treats! STAT!

 

The momma likes a lot of things about these treats.  She likes to break our treats up into small pieces, so she likes that these treats are easily breakable and they don't crumble much.  She likes that they are nice and crunchy and that both me and Amelia really enjoy them.  She uses them for times when she really wants us to do something -like come in the house!  Even Amelia comes in for these babies!  We also get one every morning when we go in our crates.  The momma also likes that they have good ingredients in them, because she likes to feed us healthy things for the most part.  They are made with Pea Flour, Potato Flour, Salmon, Tapioca Flour, Pumpkin, Salmon Oil, Tomatoes, Cranberries, Soybean Oil, Apples, Sweet Potatoes, Wheat Germ Oil, Safflower Oil, Sunflower Oil, Garlic Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Anise, Ascorbic Acid (a Source of Vitamin C). 

 

The Corbin really loves these treats!

 

And, I'd like that treat, too!

These treats had me drooling like crazy!!!!

 

Amelia and I say they get 8 paws up!

 

And,

They've got my Jowl Lickin' Stamp of Approval!

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Make sure you come by next week, we have a lot of fun planned on the blog, like a super awesome contest with my friend Moby from Our Waldo Bungie!  A Corbin-tested, jowl lickin' tasty treat give-a-way! And, a whole blog post to tell you all about how I meet my foster kids, with a shocking confession about the Corbin!

You don't want to miss it!

 

Until then..... Snooze on!

New Collars!

I feel like we plug Sirius Republic all the time, but we're always getting new collars and we need to tell you about them.  Plus, Jen at Sirius Republic does amazing work and we adore her and her collars, so what's not to plug!  If you remember from other posts about my collars, I own 9 collars now!

 

I think she loves me.

 

So, the momma decided to get Amelia her very own collar with no adopt me.  Just a pretty collar for a pretty girl.  But, she couldn't just order one collar, because, that wouldn't be fair to me.  Therefore, I got a new collar too!  Now, there's something super special about these collars.  They are lined with a super soft fleece.  The last collar, before this one, that the momma ordered for me was my Corbin collar, and she ordered the extra fleece on the inside.  It has made such a difference on my neck furs!  There used to be no neck furs, and now my neck furs are back!

 

We've got lookin' good down to a science.

 

Amelia has a very sensitive neck and with a regular collar, it gets all red and irritated and the momma always feels bad.  After her adoption events, it would look really painful.  Since Amelia has had her new collar, her neck has been in tip top shape!

 

Amelia likes to show off all sides.

 

But, siriusly... don't we look great in our new threads?  Amelia has gotten lots of great compliments on her new collar every time she goes to adoption events!  And, my fan club at the vets office just thinks I look super handsome in my new collar!

 

I think I have a case of the handsomes.

 

We even got our family pictures done a few weeks ago and the momma I made sure that the momma and the dad matched their outfits to match my collar!  Collars are no joke in the Corbin house!

 

We think YOU should get a Sirius Republic collar!

 

So, if you're in the market for a new collar, we highly suggest you click on over to Sirius Republic and check out their stuff!  Jen gets eight paws up, two tongue licks and butt wiggles from me and Amelia!

Cheap DIY Crate Bed

The momma got all crafty on me the other night and decided to make a doggie bed for Amelia to have in her crate.  Since I grew out of my destroying beds phase, the momma lets me have one of my Orvis beds in my crate.  But, for the fosters, we usually have lots of sheets and fleece blankets, so if they chew them, it doesn't really matter.  We've gone through lots of not so cheap dog beds by putting them in foster crates. 

 

Miss. Amelia is practically perfect though, and she's not a huge fan of her crate.  So, the momma thought of a low cost way to make her a doggie bed.  It's water proof, it's super comfy, it's cheap and it's just big enough for an Amelia!

 

Here's what we started out with:

Memory Foam Topper $24 **

Waterproof King Size Pillow Cover $5

King Size Pillow Case $6 (came in a pack of two)

*You don't need a Corbin for this project, but it does help.

 

**The momma originally wanted a foam topper that's $10, but our Walmart was out of that specific item, and the momma isn't great with the patience when she wants to do something, so she splurged and bought the memory foam for $14 more. 

 

Measuring and cutting

 

The momma laid out the pillow cover to measure how much foam she would need.  Then she cut it.  The foam came doubled over and the momma wanted to double it anyway, so this worked perfectly. 

 

Here's a Bella nose and an Extra Large KONG to show you how thick it is.

 

After the momma cut the foam, she stuffed it in the pillow cover.

 

The Pillow Cover is water proof, so if Amelia ever has an accident in her crate, our super awesome bed won't be toasted.  It also has a zipper to keep the foam inside, so there's no worry about it slipping and sliding and adding the temptation for chewing.

 

The momma covered it with a King Size pillow case

and HERE IT IS!!!!!!

 

It fits our smaller crate a little better.

This one is 36Lx24Wx27H.

 

I, of course, had to try it out right away to make sure it was good for my Amelia.

I stayed there for a while and took a nice snooze, so I think it'll do.

 

We made this Monday night, so Amelia had all day yesterday to hang out in it.  And, do you know what happened this morning?  When the momma was ready to leave for work... she came in My room and do you know what she found?

 

Amelia was ready for her day of snoozing!

 

The momma wend and bought the $10 foam when she found it, and now she wants to do more of these.  Maybe even regular sized pillow sizes, and put two of them in the bigger crate instead of the 1 king size that's a tad small.  Anyway, the momma has gone all crazy on this stuff now, so we'll have 900 doggie beds soon.

 

She also boosted up my sofa!  My Orvis sofa has a removal cushion and none of us dogs have ever complained about it, but the momma always felt it lacked in the padding department.  So she took the left over memory foam and put a piece on either side of the cushion, zippered it up and put it back in my sofa.....

 

It. Is. Awesome!

 

So, we thought we'd share with you our fun little project in case you were looking for cheap alternatives to wasting money on expensive doggie beds! 

 

Oh, and here's a picture of me.

Casa D'Corbin: Bella

Meet Bella!

Does this girl look familiar to anyone?

 

It's our former foster puppy, Carly!

8/30/12

 

She doesn't exactly fit under my leg anymore!

8/12/13

 

Bella's parents took a trip, so she's been hanging out at my house since Friday!  She's such a good girl, and we're very excited to have her visiting. 

 

Amelia likes the fact that another girl in the house 

means the Corbin is out numbered!

 

Amelia and Bella like to play a lot.

 

They mostly like to lazy play... lay down and bitey face.

 

And, at night they like to snuggle together.

 

I'm just happy to have a former foster kid visiting!

 

For a foster brother like me, it's so great to see my foster kids living their new life!  Especially the puppies.  I taught Bella a lot of things when she was a young pup named Carly, and I'm glad she took in all of my knowledge and grew herself up into this big beautiful girl! 

 

Bella found a great, loving family and we couldn't be happier!

Thanks for coming to visit, Carly!

 

 

Don't forget!  If there's been something you've always wanted to ask the Corbin, but haven't had the chance to, ask now!  I'll be doing a Q&A on the blog soon.  So, if you have any questions about my handsome-ness, our home, the parents, fostering, boxers or briefs... you name it, you can ask it! You can leave your questions here or email me at ohcutecorbinATgmailDOTcom
