I absolutely love this dog toy! Crinkits not only satisfy my dogs irrational need to kill water bottles but they are very durable. Gus has had the same Cricket for about a year and still loves it. Crinkit also floats which makes it super fun for water loving dogs. This toy comes in several colors including pink, orange and blue. This toy also comes pre stuffed with a water bottle meaning its fun chewing time for your pup the…
In a perfect world Jeff and I would be sitting in our great room on our super comfy couch with a roaring fire watching a epic movie. Our dogs would be splayed out on the hardwood floor in front of the fireplace, with kitties scattered roosting on the beams of our log cabin. Outside it would be gently snowing those huge beautiful flakes of snow. Our open kitchen would be filled with the smell of pot roast cooking and apple…
Let me tell you about mushrooms. I love mushrooms in my salad, I love mushrooms on a veggie tray. I really love mushrooms to dip in veggie dip or humus. You know where I hate mushrooms? My backyard and inside my dogs. Gus had a run in with mushrooms last fall while my mom was in town. This led to my mom helping me dose my dog with hydrogen peroxide (my husband calculated the dose for me). Gus puked and…
Spring is a lovely time flowers, birds chirping, baby animals, and mud. Every year I get so excited for spring to come then remember that includes my yard thawing. We have three dogs in our house which means a large quantity of poop accumulates over the winter months. I try to clean the yard in winter as often as I can but that can be hard with snow and freezing. Gus our border collie happens to love mud. He really…
Its still dark outside when I hear the quiet thump of a tail on the bed, this is followed by a cold nose on my cheek. I usually role over trying to continue sleeping, at which point the regal Border Collie in bed with me just lays on my face. I try to remember he is doing it out of love… I hope. At this point, the overly large Maine Coon we own hears the commotion. While still trying…
When we decided to get another dog, we decided to get a girl since Gus gets along better with girls. I wanted to get her a special name tag, well really special everything (embroidered towels, collars and special toys) I didn’t go overboard at all. I found a store on etsy that had the most adorable name tags! I ordered one for Olive and will be ordering ones for Gus and sheba today as well. The tag is…
“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.” – Unknown You can see it in their eyes, the love they have and the the joy that you are alive. They greet you when you come home like its a party everyday. They watch your back…
Jeff went out fly fishing yesterday and decided to take our border collie Gus with him. In my mind I imagined this beautiful scene of my handsome husband casting his line into the rippling stream as a light snow fell. Gus our regal border collie laying on the bank patiently waiting for his master to be done fishing. Well, apparently this is not how Gus’s first fly fishing trip went. When Jeff came home I asked how he…
Jeff and I ate some of my canned chili for dinner last night. We also had some biscuits that I had made last week and stored in the freezer. Gus and I were sitting on the couch together patiently waiting for the biscuits to be done. Jeff got up to check the biscuits when something terrible happened! Gus and I heard this horrible BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP…you get the idea. Well, the biscuits weren’t burnt but they…
I am always in search of the perfect dog toy. I look for sturdy well built toys that won’t destroy my house. Its always a plus if they are food puzzles. While christmas shopping I found this wonderful toy! The Odin is a interlocking Dog Treat Toy that is also dishwasher safe. My labrador loved rolling rolling this toy around and being rewarded for her efforts. My border collie chose the more intelligent route…. hold it and yell…
