Everyone who follows us on Instagram knows exactly how much Zara LOVES socks! Socks are Zara’s most favourite thing to steal. She can sniff them out of the toughest hiding place. She’ll jump up on a table to reach them if she has to and she’s even figured out how to open the laundry basket to get what she wants. So when The Socksery Company asked us to review their personalised socks, of course we were excited, especially Zara! 

We got sent two pairs of personalized socks. One pair with Zara’s signature smile on and an extra special pair that I absolutely adore with our handsome boy Oscar on. I was extremely surprised at the quality of the socks. Both pairs are made really well, the printing of Oscar and Zara is excellent. The socks are thick and comfortable and perfect for snuggle days on the couch. They’re nice and long too so you can wear them over or under leggings or jeans with boots. No need to worry about your ankles getting cold here. 

Of course Zara wouldn’t wait to get them between her teeth and tease us with them! It became a game of catch me if you can if you want your socks back which is always fun. Zara is three years old now, but she is still very much a puppy. And we love that about her. We can chase her around the house with a sock in her mouth for ages. When she’s found her treasured sock and stolen it, she always comes to show us what she has in her mouth. As if to say “I’ll give you a sneak peak as to what’s in my mouth but you have to catch me if you want it back.” 

Taking the photos for The Socksery product review was also one of the funnest we have done. I of course had this perfect vision of myself, Zara and Hubby lying under the duvet with our feet poking out.. sounds wonderful. Zara had other ideas, but turns out we had tons of laughs and got some pretty funny images! Often the imperfect photos make the most perfect ones. 

If you would like a personalised pair of socks head on over to The Socksery website and place your order. It’s quick and easy! You can choose from a variety of colours, upload a photo of your adorable pet and let The Socksery do the rest. You’ll have your personalised socks delivered to you before your feet get cold. Christmas is around the corner and these socks make the perfect stocking filler! 

Don’t forget to give them a follow on Instagram too and tag them in your sock posts 😉

Trying out the different Acana dog food flavours is Zara’s absolute best. With the different ingredients in each bag, it gives Zara the benefits of a wide variety of healthy ingredients. 

This month we tried out Acana Wild Prairie. This one is part if their regionals range which means the protein ingredients used is sourced from within the local region in Calgary. Acana Wild Prairie is loaded with goodness in the form of 70% meat which consists of free-run chicken, free run turkey, cage-free eggs, wild-caught walleye and wild-caught trout. No wander Zara want’s to eat it straight from the bag.

Zara is a wild pup! She loves having her wild half hours during the day and most often has a bit of a wild session before bed. We of course encourage this behaviour because it brings out the wild side of her personality. Anyone who follows us on Instagram will know these wild sessions all too well. She goes wild for her lizards in the garden and there is nothing better than a wild roll around in the grass after an afternoon swim to cool down. 

Zara goes wild for walks too! She loves nothing more than all of us going for a sunset walk around the block or to the field close to home. When walking alongside the road Zara is always on leash however she knows as soon as we approach our destination she cannot contain her wild excitement because then it’s off leash time. There is no greater way to get wild and dirty than when the leash comes off. 

Zara’s recall skills are extremely good. She never ventures far away from us and if she does, all we have to do is call her in a stern voice, she stops what she is doing and trots on over to us. If there is a person walking by that doesn’t want her to approach them we simply tell her ‘Zara no’ and she completely ignores them and her focus is on us. 

With Zara being a strong 53kg it was very important that I was able to control her with my voice. Zara is stronger than me and she knows it, however her listening skills are impeccable which leaves me confident enough to let her off leash in places. 

Zara’s wild sessions are particularly fascinating to baby Gia. The best is when Zara runs around with a squeaky toy, Gia giggles her heart out! Gia loves to watch Zara’s wild rolling sessions, her wild swimming sessions and even her off leash wild zooming sessions. 

With all these wild sessions that go on in Zara’s daily routine, its no wonder she’s ready for her next meal. With Acana dog food, Zara is kept in peak condition. Her daily activity keeps her active enough to enjoy a hearty meal twice a day and with ingredients as amazing as Acana’s my mind is at ease knowing she’s getting the best nutrition at each meal.

If you would like to find out more information on the entire Acana range, you can contact PackLeader South Africa on Facebook or Instagram or simply visit a reputable outlet.
