when Blue rescued our family

This shop is a part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group and Purina One, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #ONEdifference http://bit.ly/1m09h7t

Chris is out numbered in our house: three girls versus him. Three strong-willed girls versus a pretty laid back, easy-going dad. It’s quite a mix. It makes me giggle, but mostly makes him sigh. Loudly. Often.

So when Blue came along, it was like Chris finally had someone on his side. Another male in the house who could stand up to the girls and their loud mouths.

Or something like that.

Mostly it has become Chris and the dog hiding from the chaos of three girls.

Blue has become Chris’ shadow. He has become the annoying little brother that is always stealing the girls’ stuffed animals and snacks. He has become a wrestling partner for Chris because our girls need fifteen band aids and seven ice packs to get through the day. Blue has become the fifth member of the Graham family. I sign his name to birthday cards, he’s made an appearance in our annual family pictures, and he likes to greet visitors to our house by a little surprise tinkle on the floor due to excitement.

And because I care about the food that I put in my family’s bodies and Blue is such a special part of that family, we recently took the 28-Day Challenge from Purina One. When we adopted Blue, he was pretty sickly from being abandoned at a shelter. He was timid and so skinny it just broke my heart. So while he’s never been a picky eater, feeding him Purina One dog food has made a noticeable difference to his coat and dry skin. He really loves the lamb and rice formula, even picking out the bigger chunks of meat before eating the rest like the stinker he is.

I know there are so many people just like us: ones that love their pets and treat them like (or better…) than family and so I’m glad I get to share a $3 off coupon so you too can join the 28-Day Challenge to see what improvements your dog will enjoy. Just sign up to take the challenge here and get your $3 off Purina One dog food coupon. Your pup will thank you, I promise!
