Pawalla ~ Cat Edition
I have LOTS of boxes of various sorts for me, but was starting to feel guilty. I broke down and got one for my kitties. Now to convince them to share! (I have 5)
This is Pawalla. Monthly deliveries of natural wet foods, treats, toys and more for your cat or dog. Hand-picked by our pet nutritionist based on the size and life stage of your pet.
Select whether you would like a monthly ($26) or an annual subscription ($21). Both subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and include free shipping.

This is what my kitties got for their first month.
4 cans of By Nature 95% protein canned cat food.
Spot Cute Critters Catnip Cat Toys (They are higher than kites and the only comment can get is drooooooooooool)

Love With Food ~ February 2013

Love With Food, in my opinion, is a great box. Â For $12, the cost covers the items in the box, shipping, AND a meal for a hungry child! Â How can you beat that? Â Delicious food AND helping a child? Â How can you not sign up?
This month’s box did not arrive in the flat-rate priority envelope…instead, it came in a plastic sleeve!
“Spicy and Sweet Valentine’s Day” is this month’s theme. There was a wonderful mix of spicy and sweet as well. I’m embarrassed to say that by the time this was posed, the box was empty. *blush*
