Yay! It’s everyone’s favorite time of the month…..time for a nap! Ok well technically you probably can’t take a nap (because you’re working….or perhaps you should be!), but since I’m a dog I can nap ANYTIME I want. You’re jealous aren’t you? That’s ok, you can live vicariously through all the interesting places I’ve been napping this month. Check it out…
Let’s be honest here, I work hard, but I nap even harder! Which place is your favorite nap spot this month?

My new friends over at Pet Qwerks recently came out with a new dog chew called the Flavorit™ that I think your dogs are going to love! Now if your dog likes to chew (as most dogs do), this is a new Nylon bone that they’re going to love sinking their teeth into.
The Flavorit comes in 8 different flavors that are infused into the nylon bones and is available in 4 sizes. They also come in a Flex version for moderate chewers as well as the standard version for tough chewers.
Since I’m a very aggressive chewer I decided to start out with the standard version (later I did test out the Flex, but it’s not the best fit for me since I am so aggressive with my chewing).
Now you may have noticed the tiny little holes on each side of the Flavorit. They are what make this nylon bone so unique! Not only is each bone flavored as is, but you can also fill each of these tiny flavor cells with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cheese, cream cheese or anything else soft.
Both sides of the Flavorit have a concave design so that the messy treats you put on your bone end up in your dog’s mouth (or the bone) and not on the carpet. Mom found it helpful to wipe off any excess peanut butter with a paper towel before she gave it to me so that I for sure wouldn’t make a mess on anything I wasn’t supposed to.
I have to say the standard Flavorit held up quite well to my big chompers, and the added peanut butter flavor (which is my favorite) really kept me busy for quite some time.
Mom even let me chew on it on her brand-new carpet….and it really was mess-free! (or I would of been in big trouble).
The Flavorit is made in the USA of 100% nylon and is even dishwasher safe (if your dog can’t get all the flavor out on their own!).
So if you’ve got a dog that loves to chew, or a dog that needs a little boredom busting in their life, then you might want to check out the new Flavorit from Pet Qwerks! You can even save 20% with code flavorit20

My friends over at The Honest Kitchen recently came out with a new pet food product that I’m over the top in love with!
Proper Toppers are a light and crispy superfood that provides a boost of whole food to any dog’s meal. They are made with just 5 whole food ingredients, including free range chicken or turkey, and can be used as a topper for kibble, complete meal, or even a treat.
All ingredients are processed in the USA in a human grade food processing facility. They are non genetically modified and free of any chemicals & preservatives. All meat is also hormone and antibiotic free.
You can actually see the whole foods in each little cluster!
Proper Toppers are going to be the perfect food to take with me on my next camping trip, because unlike traditional dehydrated pet foods that need a bit of warm water to help plump them up, these just need a quick splash and are good to go!
Mom has been adding Proper Toppers to my kibble each meal as part of my rotational diet, and I have to say I’m loving it! Not only does it taste great (and is great for picky eaters), but just like all of The Honest Kitchen’s pet foods they are a healthy, nutritional food.
You can snag some Proper Toppers in Chicken or Turkey flavor from the Honest Kitchen! And if you’ve never tried any of their other great dehydrated pet foods, be sure to snag a FREE SAMPLE BUNDLE while you’re at it! (discount automatically applied at checkout).
And now for the best part…
ONE WINNER WILL WIN A 14oz BAG OF PROPER TOPPERS FROM THE HONEST KITCHEN!

A few weeks ago this interesting looking pool* showed up in my beach ponies’ arena.
*affiliate link
I thought, well isn’t this nice, how did they know that no beach is complete without some “ocean”. Just as I was about to take a dip I had a thought…
…what if the real fun was UNDER the pool? Naturally I’m an inquisitive fellow, and you can’t help but wonder.
So a digging we will go!
Sadly the only excitement was in actually digging the hole. So it looks like my new pool will just have to wait for warmer days this summer when I can sun bathe on my beach and take a dip afterwards.
And I think I’ll have to share my pool pass too, because Blitz has been waiting patiently for his turn next!
It’s come to my attention that I never really properly introduced some of my new friends on the farm. (those two frosty gals behind me).
Now if my friends Etna & Aldis look a bit chilly, not to worry….they actually LOVE the cold because they hail from Iceland!
That’s right, these Icelandic Horses are a unique breed of smallish horses that came to Iceland with the first settlers from Norway 1100 years ago. Archeological digs in Europe have revealed that they are descendent from an ancient breed of horses that is now extinct outside of Iceland, where it has been preserved in isolation.
To be honest, in the beginning I wasn’t really sure they were horses at all with all that wild hair.
But eventually that sassy pony stink eye emerged, and I knew, yup….horses for sure!
One thing is for sure though, it must be pretty nice to not be bothered by the cold! I admit, I’m pretty jealous of their ability to thrive in the cold. At least summer is on it’s way!
Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Bully Bundles. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love!
Recently my new friends over at Bully Bundles sent me a package of their 6″ Bully Sticks to try. Now if you’ve never heard of Bully Sticks, then you are missing out my friend!
Now I admit, when I was a young pup I used to snack on rawhides (before my mom knew any better), but Bully Sticks are a type of chew that are MUCH better than rawhides. Not only are they safer because they are 100% digestible (much lower risk of choking compared rawhides), but they are also healthier because they are made of 100% beef. Rawhides typically contain harmful chemicals and are treated with a long list of ingredients.
So I can attest, when you’re looking for a chew for your dog, Bully Sticks are definitely the way to go. Not only will your dog love them, but your humans will feel good knowing they are safe and healthy.
Now the cool thing about Bully Bundles is that you can sign up to have your dog’s Bully Sticks delivered monthly. When you’re a busy shop dog it’s nice to know there will always be a snack around for your work breaks (even if your mom forgets to pick some up at the store!).
In fact, I have a fun little game I like to play to earn my bully sticks while at work…
I’ve gotten so good at finding those hidden Bully Sticks that mom has had to get pretty creative in hiding them now!
The Bully Bundles come in 6″ or 12″ sticks that are between 5/8″ – 7/8″ thick (which are thicker than most I’ve seen on the market).
They’re also made with no preservatives or chemicals and are produced in a USDA approved facility. Hailing from free-range, grass-fed Brazilian cattle, and No growth hormones or antibiotics are used on the cattle.
So if you’re ready to set your dog up with a monthly subscription of bully sticks from Bully Bundles, you can choose between 6, 10, 15, 30, or 60 6″ sticks a month or 5, 10, 15, or 30 12″ sticks a month.
And don’t worry, you can even skip a month or cancel at anytime! The best part is you can save 10% OFF your Bully Bundles order with code AMMO.
As a bonus…
FOUR WINNERS WILL WIN A 4-PACK OF BULLY STICKS FROM BULLY BUNDLES!

Some dogs are born with it, some dogs aren’t. And I can’t help that I was cursed blessed with this amazing nose that can lead me to a groundhog hole deep in the woods, through thickets and brush, where no one else knows it exists.
My poor pal Trooper doesn’t have this gift, sometimes I’m surprised he even knows which way is up. (love ya Troop!)
Over the weekend I visited the park to shoot some hoops. Before I get to who exactly I was playing basketball with you have to first play this happy music while you read the rest of this post:
Why you ask must you play that music? Because not only did I shoot hoops with Dad, but also the lead singer to the band CRUISR….who also happens to be Dad’s old college roommate.
I tried to play it cool and not look like too much of a groupie, but in reality I just wanted to scream and say “Andy States touched my fur!!!” like all the fan girls that meet CRUISR on tour.
Hopefully I came off a bit cooler than that tough!
Not only did I get to shoot some hoops with Mr. States, but I also got to eat SnoBalls with him!!
Pelican’s SnoBalls is this brand-new frozen treat spot that opened up in my hometown, and I was excited to get to try them out.
Not only do they have treats for the humans, but they have dog friendly Pup Cups too.
The hardest part was waiting patiently for my frozen bowl of goodness to be ready.
It was worth the wait though!
Mom made sure to only let me eat small bites of the ice, in case of brain freeze….can dogs even get a brain freeze? Better safe than sorry I guess!
Overall it was a fantastic way to spend one of the warmest days so far this Spring. Do you take your dog for frozen treats in the summer?
Don’t forget to check out the super catchy summertime music from my friends at CRUISR!
It’s that time of year when it seems I find myself visiting the hardware store almost every weekend. Mom and Dad are always coming up with projects that need to be done around the house in the Spring. Mom says it’s the perfect place for me to tag along and practice all my “behaving in public” skills, as I inevitably get a little rusty over the winter.
I beg to differ on the “rusty” part, I mean just look how good my sit/stay is!
I’ve also got the healing next to the shopping cart down too!
And my self control (even when I smell critters in the garden center) is pretty good too (well most of the time!).

When you’re a dog it can sometimes be difficult to communicate to the humans exactly what you want. While we might not be able to speak in the true sense, we have become rather creative in expressing what we like and dislike to our humans.
That’s exactly what happened when these new TRU harvest® treats from Walmart recently showed up at the farm!
See these brand new treats are made with Ancient Grains (Barley, Spelt, and Quinoa), which are naturally low in fat and contain more nutrients than common grains. They also contain NO corn, soy, wheat, artificial colors or flavors, or poultry by-products. And the very first ingredient is REAL meat….real meat you say….
Mom got Trooper and I drooling by first tempting us with TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains Chewy Bars with barley, spelt & quinoa. They come in a Chicken, Cheese, & Tomato Flavor or the Turkey & Cranberry Flavor.
Then as if that weren’t enough she whipped out the TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains Wavy Strips with barley, spelt & quinoa! They also come in two flavors, Chicken & Sweet Potato or Turkey & Pumpkin.
To make things worse, Trooper and his tall self stole a bite before I even got to taste them! The nerve!
It was finally time to break out the big guns and exercise my right to freedom of speech. Mom was going to surely know EXACTLY what I wanted this time!
And from what I hear, I’m not the only one begging for more of these treats…just check out the video below….
I’ll be honest, the dogs in that video are pretty good at telling their humans what they want, but they’ve got nothing on Trooper and I…
Ok, well Trooper is a bit of a lost soul, but I’m pretty darn good at expressing myself!
So if you don’t want to be the victim of your dog’s communication skills, then you might want to grab them some TRU harvest® Dog Treats with Ancient Grains, found exclusively at Walmart.
You can save $1.00 off your next TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains dog treats purchase at Walmart. Just click here for coupon.
What do you think your dog would do to let you know they want to try a bite of the TRU harvest® treats?
