BobSweep Pet Hair Slam Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop

Shedding season is all year long with Zara! Between Zara, Ollie, Roo and myself I actually don’t know who sheds more hair- haha! But with the BobSweep Pet Hair Slam Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop all that shedding is gone within minutes. 

BobSweep Pet Hair Slam Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop

When BobSweep asked to work with us we jumped with joy and couldn’t wait to really put Bob the robo vacuum to the test. We’ve seen these robot vacuums all over social media and they look really funky but the question on everyones mind is … Do they actually work? 

While we waited for Bob to arrive the excitement around him joining our family was real. Gia wasn’t quite sure what to expect but we kept her excitement about Bob at an all time high, so when he finally did arrive, oh we couldn’t contain ourselves!!

I can now answer everyones number one question… Does Bob really work? And my answer is a straight up YES! He works extremely well. Not only am I impressed by his mechanics but I am hugely impressed with how well he sweeps and mops the floors. 

First things first, you need to plug Bob in and charge him up. He comes with his docking station that plugs into the wall. If you’re like us and have higher electricity voltage, you will need a special adapter plug. Once he is charged you turn him on and link him to the app you download. Once that is done it’s as easy as pushing the play button on the cleaning setting and off he goes!

Bob maps your house on his first clean, remembering where obstacles and objects are. His mapping can be seen on the app in real time! It is incredible to watch. We set him to sweep up first, collecting dog hairs and cat hairs because we have pets and along the way he collected and swept up some rice that Gia had dropped during dinner time and anything else he could find. Like I said, we really put Bob to the test!

Once the sweeping was done we changed his attachments to the water compartment, attached the mop cloth and set him off again. I was absolutely blown away with how the floors turned out! He takes his time and doesn’t rush making sure he does his job to the best of his ability. His battery life is also pretty great. He did our entire house sweeping and mopping and still had some battery life left. Once he is done he happily returns himself to his docking station. You can also stop his cleaning session at anytime and return him to his docking station. 

Bob has no issues manoeuvring around pets- haha. Zara was most unimpressed by Bob and his antics and refused to move out his cleaning path. Luckily Bob doesn’t worry about things like this and happily worked his way around Zara!

You can also schedule Bob, meaning you can tell him when the best time is for him to clean your floors. Once he has mapped your house, you can decide which rooms you want him to clean and when. While he was mapping our house we closed a few doors to rooms we didn’t want him going in, you also need to be careful around stairs, you don’t want Bob injuring himself! We have set Bob up for our main areas of living but you can easily set him up for every room and bathroom if you wish. 

Overall, I am hugely impressed with the BobSweep Pet Hair Slam Robotic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop!! If you are looking for a little help with keeping up with pet hair shedding then Bob is most definitely the thing you need.

ONETIGRIS Adventure Dog Gear Review

Zara loves an adventure and we know our Instagram pals love them too, so when OneTigris asked us to collaborate we couldn’t wait to put their adventure dog gear to the test. 

OneTigris is the ultimate adventure gear creators. Whether you’re looking for adventure dog gear, camping gear, lifestyle gear… or even cat gear, OneTigris has it. 

OneTigris adventure dog gear

We received their brand new bright orange OneTigris Aire Mesh Dog Harness, with their matching collar and leash. Besides the striking colour, the first thing that struck me was the toughness of each item.

The Aire Mesh harness has breathable mesh on the sides and the top so your pup doesn’t over heat while wearing it out on an adventure. It has two grip holders for those moments you either need to grab onto your pup or help them up or down a cliff while hiking. It also has support to protect the undercarriage. My favourite feature has to be the velcro sides where you can attach a few of their accessories. We received the pack set which is fantastic for keeping your car keys safe, your cell phone and of course some treats for along the way. Gia thought these pouches were a great way to store the goodies she wanted to take along on our adventure and Zara was happy to be the one to carry the special goods!

We also received the collar and leash set to match the harness. The collar is strong with a metal clasp and is easily adjustable. It also has a velcro section which you can attach any of the OneTigris accessories to. The leash is strong too and also has a metal clasp attachment. I particularly love the short leash feature. Often I find myself winding the full leash around my hands and wrists which in a sticky situation with an extremely strong pup could be a recipe for disaster, so I love how you can grab the short leash and still have control, whether it’s attached to the collar or the harness- your preference.

All of these OneTigris adventure items are waterproof so it wouldn’t be an issue if your pup decided to cool off fully clothed while out on an adventure, just remember to take the packs off with your car keys and cell phone inside 😉 The collar, leash and harness are all easy to clean too. I popped everything inside a pillow cover and put them in the washing machine on a normal full cycle, they came out smelling fresh and looking extra clean ready for the next adventure. 

OneTigris is a leading manufacturer for all contact uniforms and heavy duty wear for both humans and animals. Service dogs all over the world proudly wear OneTigris gear while fighting crime and saving lives in which ever situation they find themselves. We of course support all the Rottweiler service dogs around the world and wear our Service Rottie badge with pride!

Hello September

September is probably one of my favourite months of the year simply because the days get warmer and flowers are blooming everywhere. Our family loves the warmer months and after our really cold winter, we are welcoming this spring with open arms 🙂

September is also Ollie’s Gotcha month so of course we will celebrate our little nosey cat!

Zara Turns 6

Today is Zara’s birthday. Six whole years of loving our sassy Zara! And there’s been a whole lot of love in those six years, a kind of love I never imagined but a kind of love that I am so grateful for. 

Zara turns 6

I often get asked how we ‘trained’ Zara to be so gentle and kind towards her baby sister Gia, how she tolerates her brother Ollie the cat and how caring she is towards our bunny girls Misty and Clover. And my answer is always the same… we never ‘trained’ Zara to do anything. We simply showered Zara with a whole lot of love and respect and taught her our ways. 

My husband and I had a conversation the other day and I asked him if he thinks Zara would be as gentle, loving, kind and loyal in someone else’s home or is she as amazing as she is because of us and the love we have for our family and each other. His answer to me was that every dog is brought up in a different home and different environment and so their level of love and respect is different. Zara found her way to us for a reason and that reason is so we could show her what our love is and for her to be the best version of herself with us. I was pretty satisfied with that answer…

And so today we celebrate Zara in all her glory… 

Zara’s Pup Cakes

It’s a tradition in our home to make something special for Zara to enjoy on her own so this year baby sis Gia helped make some yummy blueberry birthday pupcakes for our pup 😉 

blueberry pupcakes

Ingredients- cake

1/4 cup blueberries (we used fresh but frozen would work too)

1 egg

1/3 cup plain yoghurt (we used plain double thick)

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

1/2 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

Ingredients- icing

3 tbs plain double thick yoghurt

3 tbs plain cream cheese 

*Fresh blueberries to decorate if you want

Directons- cake

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare a cupcake/muffin pan with paper cupcake holders. In a mixing bowl using a whisk or electric beater, mix well the yoghurt, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Then add the flour and baking powder and beat for 2 minutes. Then gently fold in the blueberries using a spoon. Add some blueberry bater to each cupcake holder and bake in the over for +-12 minutes or until cooked through and golden in colour. Once cooked leave the pupcakes to cool down completely before icing and decorating them. 

Directions- Icing

To make the icing beat together the yoghurt and cream cheese until light and fluffy. The spoon onto your pupcakes or pipe the icing. Decorate with blueberries.

Christmas Treats

We love Santa in our home. He’s the big fat guy who brings presents and looks after reindeers and our new family member Coco Puff the elf. As Gia gets older, Christmas becomes more fun because she understands a little more and we can just enjoy the make believe world that Santa is. Life is too short not to have FUN and not to eat Christmas treats! 

Zara loves Santa Paws too and she picks up on all the excitement and knows when his delivery has been made. She knows exactly which gifts are for her and loves to sniff them out. 

So Santa Paws is almost here and what better way to celebrate his arrival than with some yummy homemade Christmas treats for the whole family.

Take little portions of each dough and roll them into long thin strips then on a greased baking tray gently plait them into a candy cane shape. Repeat until all your dough is finished.

Then add the flour one cup at a time and mix well. Eventually the dough will form. Put it in the fridge for about an hour to chill. Once chilled roll out and using Christmas shaped cookie cutters make your Christmas cookies. Place on an un-greased baking tray and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for +-15minutes or until golden. Allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating.
