think of them up there meeting nowagain, that we're joined together again.
So that makes me so happy.When I saw your name on my list,
I was like, oh my god, I'm so happy to have you
again. And how is it.How are the puppies and how are the
children? Everyone is amazing. Youknow. Malibu and Buddy are my dogs.
(01:55):
Malibu is a French bulldog. Buddyis a Cane corso. So two
different sizes of the Buddy's like onehundred and forty pounds and Malibu's twenty five
pounds and there's like eight years differencebetween them. But they are like such
a big part of the family andthem, yes, and I'm always doing
my best to keep them just ashealthy as I keep myself in the family.
(02:16):
They're so cute. Oh my god, you're like me. I mean
there are babies. There are babiesas well. I say, this is
my Golden is my third hardest child. He's the most word ever and the
best and they love us so much. So you're teaming up with Purina,
which I love and ever Root theirnew soft chees. Tell us about them,
and my god, I love them. Well. I'm all about health
(02:38):
and wellness and I've been taking supplementsmyself for many years because being a world
champion athlete, you understand the importanceof having a personalized nutrition plan, and
the same extends to my dogs.You know, I want them to be
here for the long haul. SoI'm super excited to have partnered with ever
Root to launch their new soft cheessupplement that is made with high quality and
(03:00):
radient focused, you know ingredients andyou know, it's really all about personalizing
your dog's healthcare plan because you know, our dogs have special needs. Of
course when it comes to their health. You know, they have a supplement
for hip and joint and for digestionand for skin and coat and calming.
And I really love this new softshoe and so do the dogs. It's
(03:21):
like giving them a treat. Itmakes it really easy for me to give.
I just love that there. It'sorganic, I mean, and pumpkin
is a big ingredient in it,which I give my dog pumpkin all the
time. We all know if youhave dogs, pumpkin is so good for
them, and it's and it maintainstheir digestive health and it reduces which we
have this sometimes the dogs pick upthings, they're loose stools too. Absolutely,
(03:45):
and it's just really like you said, good for digestive health, digestion,
and you know, for me,I really love the hip and joint
for Buddy, he's an older,heavier dog and it really helps him feel
good. And Malibu, I lovethe skin and coat. But the multi
benefit is great because it covers somany different things just from immunity to digestion
and all these different things. Sothere's something for everyone. And that's what
(04:06):
I really love about this line.You can choose what it is that you
need for your particular situation and yourdog to personalize their health and wellness plan.
And the best thing is it's likea sweet treat, you know they
like. It's definitely like a sweettreat for them, so they know they're
getting this like yummy thing. AndI'm telling you, I take gummies sotas
(04:29):
well. I don't like to takethose pills. Yeah, that's what's great.
I mean this is the new softchew is different than what they've offered
before, so that we do haveour choice because some dogs like something more
like a biscuit, so they havethose tablets as well, and then they
also have the soft chee now,which my dogs really love. And yes,
it is like giving them a treat. It's like they're salivating for it
all the time. So it reallymakes it easy because we all know when
(04:51):
we're taking supplements, if you don'tlike it, if they're hard to take,
it's hard to be consistent. Andit's really important to be consistent when
it comes to anything that you're takingnutrition. You want to be doing it
on a daily basis to really getthe most benefits out of it. And
this time of year is really importantbecause we're so busy with the holiday season
and buying gifts and shopping and travelingand having guests over, and sometimes we
(05:12):
forget about our pups. And that'sa message I really want to share today,
is just not to forget about ourpets. To give them all the
love and attention and keep exercising them, you know. And this is a
great gift to give those who have, you know, pets as well for
their pets wellness. And then thelast thing is just the calming supplement is
great for this time of year,especially when there's so much commotion going on
(05:34):
that really affects some dogs and ithelps just kind of calm them so they're
not feeling that nervousness or any anxiety, especially when they see all the boxes
coming in, all the wrapping paper. My dog does not like boxes and
all that stuff, all the deliveriesthat are coming. The calming thing is
going to be perfect for him.And thank you for sending it. I'm
going to try it, and Iappreciate you being here. So tell me
(05:55):

dogs and the kids. I alwayshave my hands full no matter what.

(06:15):
being the holiday season, and itreally is given me an opportunity to keep
