Sirius Dog Shampoo Avon

Can We Trust Even When Life Feels Scary?

I used to think that if I planned well enough, I could keep my life safe and steady. I thought being in control was the same as being happy. Life doesn’t always follow our plans. Lately, my world has felt like a storm. Between the deaths of five people, my son’s transition after prison, and my sister’s diagnosis with breast cancer, the ground has felt very shaky. I’ve learned that when the world is chaotic, I can’t control what happens outside. Instead, I am continuing on my journey as the “architect” of my own heart.

When things feel overwhelming, we often find ourselves in a knot of Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (T.E.A.). Our thoughts try to anticipate the “what-ifs,” emotions feel heavy, and actions become frantic as we try to fix things we cannot control. Being an architect isn’t about stopping the storm. It’s about building a strong, safe house inside ourselves so we can stay standing while the wind blows. 

I can’t change a medical diagnosis or a legal situation; however, I can choose how I show up for myself and the people I love.

Trusting isn’t about knowing exactly how things will turn out. It’s about knowing that I have the strength to handle whatever happens next. It’s about being kind to myself, setting boundaries that protect my heart, and finding peace in the middle of the mess.

It is why I wrote my 4-week course.  If you are going through a hard season and feel like you’re losing your footing, I want to help. My T.E.A. Course is a place to learn to untangle our thoughts, emotions, and actions to find your calm again. I’d love for you to join the healing journey.

Talk to almost anyone about their pets and it’s easy to see how highly they are regarded as family members. (For us, it’s our dog Titus.) So when I say Avon takes care of more than just the family, this includes some four-legged friends as well. Today I’ll tell you about three products that help us take better care of Titus. They also save us money.

Let’s start with the shampoo. Periodically Titus goes to the groomer because we don’t always have the time to do the thorough ‘teeth-to-tail’ cleaning ourselves. But let’s face it; grooming prices are going through the roof! It’s why we only do this every 4-6 months. Now while they do a good job, it seems like within a few days of being groomed, Titus starts to scratch again! This is where Avon’s Sirius Groom Shampoo for Dogs comes in.

It’s pH balanced formula contains a soothing oatmeal extract with a long-lasting scent. The oatmeal extract relieves the itching and comes in two scents – Berry and Baby Power. We don’t want Titus to smell like a berry so we prefer the Baby Powder.

Another ‘tool’ is the Sirius pet bath massager – an easy-to-grasp waterproof brush that massages loose hair and skin away. It doesn’t matter if he’s wet or dry, Titus loves the treatment!

Finally, Sirius has a Groom Odor Eliminator. This is meant for fabric and carpet surfaces only, NOT the pet. It’s great for furniture, car seats, pet beds, etc. Only in Baby Powder scent, it uses rice and barley to neutralize and absorb odors. Because it doesn’t go on animals, it works for other pet odors too. The combination of these products allows us to extend the time between professional groomings. It gives us more time, money, and a happier dog!

Let me know what you do for your dog and how it works for you. Like a famous ad says, we know “they’re worth it!”
