The Mean Human Makes Fun of Petal’s Overbite

Photobucket
This is Petal’s super cute face.
Her fuzzy, stubby, wittle, kissable chin and her little mousey whiskers and nosie!

She’s so cute I just have to squeeze her and do ridiculous things like this:

Photobucket
Derp!

Photobucket
“Why Human? Whyyyy?”


Because you are cute.
And squishy.
And silly.
And lovable.
And oh so patient.
As all my dogs have to be in order to survive my obnoxious love.

Five Random Facts: Ella

I told you Ella would be next.
Then I forgot.
Then last night I remembered.
Haha.
So here we go!

Photobucket

1: Ella likes to go around slapping people and Collies. It hurts like crazy, but she hasn’t been as bad since she began sleeping in the crate; she most enjoys hitting you when you’re asleep and the most vulnerable.
2: I suspect she is part Vizsla for numerous reasons.
3: She will always give kisses.
4: If she even smells peanut butter she starts licking the air and her lips.
5: She likes to stick her head between your knees; if you’re standing in a doorway and she does it from behind you, it’s to peek inside the other room. If you’re just standing in the middle of the room and she’s standing in front of you, it’s to beg for a neck scratch.

Next will be Lassie and I will not forgot this time! ;]

A Snow Filled Stroll

We got some lovely snow this morning!
And we decided to be a little crazy and go walking in it.
It was cold and I got pelted in the eye with snow flakes; which hurts more than it sounds like it would.
But it was fun! Lassie and Petal enjoyed the snow, but Ella stayed in the toasty warm house. She’s not a fan of the cold.

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
To the trail!

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Snowy nosies!


PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Cozy warm back at home!


We’re loving the snow! We hope it sticks around for awhile, but we’re not holding our breath for it because it likely won’t.
So we’ll just enjoy it while we have it. :]

Wanna Hear a Joke?

Photobucket
“Hey Ella, wanna hear a joke? Hehe, it’s a good one!”
“Sure! What is it?”

Photobucket
“Okay, here it goes. Knock knock!”

Photobucket
“Who’s there?”
“Collie!”
“So it’s you at the door?”
“No! Ella! Play along!”
“Alright, alright. Collie who?”
“Collie Miss Molly, I don’t know!”

Photobucket
Petal: “HAHAHAH, wasn’t that funny!?”
Ella: ROFL


Now, who’s up for a little giveaway?
Lassie, Ella and Petal have decided that they would like to give away one of the boxes of treats they received from Mr. Chewy!
These are the treats they’ve chosen to give away:

Photobucket

Just for fun I’ll share my dogs’ best tricks:
Lassie: Shake. It’s his favorite trick. He’ll shake your hand or your foot, he would probably even shake your face if you asked him to.
Ella: Catch. She can catch a treat from clear across the room.
Now get those drooling dogs away from the keyboard and get commenting! ;]

Review: Mr. Chewy

Photobucket

We got a package in the mail Wednesday!
What exciting things were contained inside?
Some tasty treats from…

Photobucket
Mr. Chewy!
And he delivers exactly what he claims to deliver: pet happiness.
My pets were certainly very happy with this delivery.

Photobucket
Petal dug around inside until she found the perfect treat (a Merrick wishbone)

Photobucket
and took off with it saying, “I rather like this Mr. Chewy fellow.”

When you shop at MrChewy.com the first thing you’ll notice is how many brands they have.
They offer over 70 different brands.
That’s a LOT!
They offer great brands like:
Blue Buffalo
Dogswell
Orijen
Taste of the Wild
Ziwipeak
And my dogs’ favorite, Sojos!

And many many more!

Their website is very easy to navigate. You can shop by brand, food form (canned food, dehydrated food, etc), life stage and/or specialty (gluten free, grain free, etc).

They ship very promptly. We placed our order late on Wednesday night (the 18th) and it was shipped the next morning! I was expecting a nice long wait before it arrived, I was thinking about a week and a half to two weeks— that’s usually how long I have to wait when ordering from sites similar to Mr. Chewy, but it arrived just six days (or four business days) after it shipped.

While shopping around we discovered that Mr. Chewy doesn’t just offer lots of brands for foods, but for tasty treats too! We found our very favorite brands:
Merrick
Sojos
& Zuke’s

And there were so many others, too!

They had a nice large variety of Zuke’s treats, our very favorite treats! We had lots to choose from. It was almost hard to pick and choose with so many choices.
Though we do wish they had more to choose from— flavors and sizes— in the Zuke’s Z-Bones line; we love those dental bones! We’re lucky they happened to have them in our size: large.

Photobucket

They had a wonderful variety of the Merrick and Sojos treats as well!
We found their pricing to be that of other pet sites we’ve shopped from with some things being even cheaper at Mr. Chewy’s! And Mr. Chewy offers a flat rate shipping cost of $4.95 or free shipping on orders over $49.
 With no extra charges even if your purchase weighs 100 pounds.
Let me say that again.
No extra charges even if your package weighs 100 pounds.
The weight of your purchase never effects the shipping costs.
I LOVE that!

Some sites I go to for pet food offer free shipping if your purchase exceeds a certain $ amount or a flat rate shipping if it exceeds whatever $ amount. I think “Perfect!” then I go to check out and realize that that didn’t apply to my order because it weighs too much.
Very disappointing.
But that’s not the case with Mr. Chewy! There are no weight restrictions.
(Now if only they offered the Sojos Original mix in a 40lb bag 😉 )

Would you believe that I haven’t even reached the best part about MrChewy.com yet?

That’s alright, you can opt to have Mr. Chewy spilt the donations you earn from referring your friends between all three charities!

Petal & Harriet: Best Friends.

Photobucket

Awww…

Photobucket

These two are such sweet friends!
They’re so entertaining and constantly making us laugh.
Harriet loves to clean Petal’s face and sneak up on her while she’s sleeping and bite her ear.
Petal’s not too fond of the biting, but she does enjoy the snuggles and the play time.
Petal loves to nibble on Harriet’s sides; it looks almost like she’s trying to tickle her!
(Or eat her, however you want to look at it)

I finally got a video of the two of them playing together.
You’ll have to ignore our commentary. ;]

Goofballs.

The Saturday Pet Blog Hop!
Shhh, we know this post was made on Friday.
But it’s Saturday now!

In Which We Look Like Super Models

A few days ago Lassie and Petal endured (more like thoroughly enjoyed) a fun little photo shoot.
With the wind blowing through their fur they looked like super models.
Working hard for the dog biscuit!

Lights… camera… wind blown hair… go!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Petal! What are you doing? Get back in your pose or I’m docking your pay! Half a biscuit!

Photobucket
“Is this better? You aren’t going to dock my pay still, are you? I really need those biscuits!”

Photobucket

Naw, I suppose I won’t. Those were pretty good.

Photobucket

They will do anything for treats.

“We can haz treats now?”
