Tasty Tuesday: Three Dogs Bakery Review and Giveaway

25 years ago, three dogs, two guys and one 59 cent biscuit cutter joined forces to create Three Dog Bakery - the world's original bakery for dogs. Thanks to dog lovers everywhere, they have grown from a bare-bones table top beginning to one of the nation's leading producers of the best all-natural foods and treats for dogs.

In honor of their 25th anniversary I am pleased to share with you two fun new treats. The first is a Paw-ty Pack Duo including Carob Cake Soft Treats and Vanilla Ice Cream Soft Treats. The other treat is 25th Anniversary Three Girls Snickerdoodle Cookies.

The 25th Anniversary Three Girls Snickerdoodles are my favorite, I mean how can I pass up a treat with the word "doodle" in it! These delicious treats are made with wonderful cinnamon and are stamped with portraits of the famous three dos who started it all. These treats are a perfect size for big and small dogs alike. For this package it is $6.99. 

There are some things that are just meant to be together and this is the perfect combination. The Paw-ty Pack Duo is an amazing combination of Carob Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream soft treats! Together they are the perfect paw-ty treats. These treats are the perfect size for any size dog and so yummy my mouth drools just looking at them. The duo pack cost $9.99.

Three Dog Bakery have had 25 years or 175 dog years to get their treats just right and they have done just that. 

Once again, I give this company and these treats 4 Paws up!

Mischief Monday: Supporting The Lola Project

One of my favorite organizations is The Lola Project. 

The Lola Project works on raising awareness about mental health and illness and the benefits of psychiatric service dogs.

Wonderful organizations like The Lola Project thrive and are supported by donations. Last month they had their 2nd Annual Spring On The Education Event.

Since this event was in New York and I live in Minnesota I was unable to attend and help support this organization. So with my mom's help we sent a donation to help the efforts of The Lola Project. In return The Lola Project sent me one of their goodie bags they had left over from the event as a thank you.

I encourage you to learn mare about The Lola Project: Website, Facebook Page, Twitter account, or their Etsy shop.

You can purchase your very own "Not All Disabilities Are Visible" bandana to help bring awareness to mental health and illness.

You can check out my previous post about The Lola Project here.

Would like to acknowledge and thank The Lola Project's big sponsors: Robibero Family Vineyards, 1800PetMeds, and Summer's Paw.

Black n White Sunday: World Pet Memorial Day & Paw Pods

Today's post is in memory of three amazing animals.

Belle, the Great American Farm Dog, was my grandpas service dog. She allowed him to maintain his independence while assisting him on the farm.

Annabel was 18 years old when she passed. She was my mom's first true pet.

Mahoney was my first true pal. Although he was taken from us too soon, he was a great role model and friend to me in the short time I've known him.

World Pet Memorial Day is a day for which pet owners around the world are encouraged to celebrate the lives of their lost, beloved pets. Falling on the second Sunday in June every year, the day is an opportunity to help bring closure and remembrance to grieving pet parents.

It is now my pleasure to introduce you to Paw Pods. 

All of Paw Pods products are constructed from 100% biodegradable, all-natural materials such as bamboo and rice husk. Each pod and urn comes with a sympathy card and seeded leaf that can be planted with the you pet and will bloom beautiful wildflowers year after year as a living memorial.  

The pods range in price from $9.95 to $199.99 and the urns range from $19.95 to $49.95.

Pets come in all different sizes, from gold fish to full size dogs and Paw Pods has pods and urns to accommodate each and everyone of your pets. Paw Pods has six different sizes of Pods, two different sizes of Urns as well as a Fish Pod and Heart Pod.

About a year ago, Annabel passed away in my mom's arms. Since then we have had her ashes in the house not knowing what to do with them. The thought of putting her in the ground without a proper container didn't feel right. But now, we can place her and her sister, Rascal, in one of Paw Pod's urns. They can finally be put to rest under one of the trees out on the farm. And having wild flowers come up every year will be a beautiful way to remember them.

In observance of World Pet Memorial Day, for a limited time, Paw Pods is offering 20% off orders placed on their website from June 6th thru 10th.

To learn more about Paw Pods visit their Website or their Facbook page.

Sepia Saturday: Flowers!

As most of you know last weekend I was at the farm frolicking around! As I was playing I noticed all the cleaver containers my Grandma uses to showcase her flowers.

In the arrangement below she used:

• Cooking Pots
• Galvanized Buckets 
• Pots on Rocking Chairs
• Flowers around the Flag Poll
• Wagons
• Wagon Seats
• Wagon Wheels
• Whiskey Barrels 
• Old Milk Cans

This one is my favorite, an old chicken feeder.

There were even a couple of cute dogs handing around!

They blend in with the flowers so well!

Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!

Why do dogs eat grass?

Mostly, when I'm at the farm I love running about and eating all the tall grass that is around. But why do I like grass? I mean, after all I'm not a rabbit. 

As I was resourcing this topic more I found that the experts are not 100% sure why we like grass. There is not one simple answer, but different dogs may eat grass for different reasons.

Some of those reasons maybe:

• We find it tasty
• We are board
• We are having stomach distress
• We have a natural instinct to eat grass

Here are two great resources I found that can help explain this further.

Many veterinarians consider eating grass a normal dog behavior. Just make sure that there are no dangerous fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides used on the grass. This could potentially harm your dog. 

If you have any questions or concerns about your dog eating grass or any other behaviors make sure to consult your veterinarian.
