The original title of this post: My sogs are spoiled.

I proceeded to make many more typos while fixing that one.

Anyway, enough about my clumsy fingers.

My dogs truly are spoiled.

It has been that way since day one.

Last month I went to Arizona for a week and a half and I left the dogs home with my Dad and siblings.
What was I thinking?
I honestly don’t know. I missed them terribly and every time we went to a store I looked around for things to buy for them.

At Petco I bought an adorable collar charm for Petal.
It was shaped like a cupcake. I had to. It was too cute. And on sale.

Then we went to Trader Joe’s and, what’s this? Over a pound of dog cookies for less than $4?
And they’re made with ingredients I approve of?
Yes please!

They still have this box of cookies and they looove them.

Bringing home a little gift for your pet when you’ve gone out of town is completely normal, you might say (and I mean pet-lover/pet-obsessed normal).
But who comes home and continues to spoil their dogs?
This person, right here!

I get home and the next day I set out to Urban Dawgz (our local pet store that was previously believed to be closed; long story short: their buyer backed out and thus they were open for another week or so), which was closing at the end of that day, so they were offering 40% off your entire purchase.
Now, come on, who would resist that?

The dogs could then add 2 rib bones, 2 Zuke’s dental bones, 1 new leash (Ruffwear Roamer leash in red, for those who might be curious, and yes, I love it), and 1 new Kong Classic to their list of new goodies. Not to mention several bags of free samples of dog kibble (they were just going to get tossed, said the store owner!) to use as training treats.

I can’t be the only one who spoils her dogs, right?
… Right?
C’mon, admit it, your dogs are spoiled!

What is The Barkers Dozen?
It’s a doggy bakery, of course!
They make delicious dog cookies that’ll have your dogs drooling and performing all of their very best tricks.
They’re the great company that helped to raise funds for Daffy.
They’re also the sweethearts that sent my dogs free treats to thank us for blogging about their fundraiser.
They sent us five bags of goodies in four different, tasty flavors.
They’re after my dogs’ hearts!

Blueberry Bone-Anza (that’s right, it’s gluten free!) and Organic Carrot.

Organic Peanut Butter and Organic Chicken.

So far I’ve been unable to decipher a definite favorite among the dogs. They’ll gobble any one of the four flavors up without dropping it (or a single crumb) on the floor.
When my dogs don’t hesitate to take it from me or drop it on the floor and sniff at it first, I know it must be really good. Not a single crumb goes unnoticed or wasted.

I also know it’s a good, healthy treat when I can actually read and pronounce all of the ingredients.
I like giving them treats without worrying about paying for it later.

(In the form of inconsistent poo.)

I don’t like feeding them treats with strange ingredients that I have no hope in pronouncing. Lassie turns up his long Collie snout to such treats anyway.
If the dog won’t even eat it, it can’t be good. He eats poop!*

These cookies, however, are Lassie (and Ella and Petal) approved! They come running whenever they hear me opening up a Barkers Dozen bag or when they hear the word “Cookie!”
The Barkers Dozen has been added to our list of favorites, that’s for sure.

Good to the last crumb!
😉

*Lassie would like you all to know that he USE to eat poop, when he was a young and foolish pup.
But I would like you all to know that he’s somewhat lying; he’s a recovering cat poop-aholic.
