Why have you never given me this 'watermelon' stuff before, Mom?! YUM!

You all remember last Tuesday when I did a  review on Caru's Soft and Tasty Duck Recipe treats ? If you didn't, you should do on over and check it AND the giveaway I'm hosting for ONE FREE BAG of those same treats out...go ahead! I'll wait.  Back? Good! As I mentioned in the other post, those treats aren't the only yummy things that Caru carries...they almost carry a few varieties of  better then  just like homemade natural stews ! When I received the delicious duck treats to try, I was also sent not one but TWO of these stews to try for myself! I was sent both a Chicken variety and a Beef variety, but on top of those two flavors they also have one made with Turkey and one with Pork! Yummy! Here's what the Caru website has to say about their line of stews: Uncanny nutrition. Uncanny taste. Absolutely grain free. At Caru, we’re as passionate about the health and happiness of pets as you. That’s why we start with real meat or poultry as the fi...

...well, it should...but it doesn't. What the word caru, which is Welsh, actually does mean is 'to love'. Isn't that a pretty word? It's also the name of the company who's treat bars I'm going to share with you today! Here before me I have a bag of Caru Duck recipe Soft and Tasty Bars . These bars are made with  USDA inspected duck, blueberries and cranberries. Yum, what a delicious sounding combination! Of course there are a few other things in there as well to hold all that deliciousness together, here's the list of everything you can find in these treat bars: Duck, Potato Flour, Beet Molasses, Blueberries, Cranberries, Vegetable Glycerin, Dried Cultured Skim Milk, Mixed Tocopherols (a preservative). And that's it! Just as easy a list as my Momma always likes to see when giving me a treat! Notice also what these bars DO NOT contain: wheat, gluten, corn, soy or animal-byproducts...which means they are safe for pups that may suffer fro...

We got another email from the wonderful Mr. Andrew at Chewy.com , asking if we'd like to try another new treat? Two words: Yes, please! It didn't take long for the new yumminess to arrive, because Mr.Chewy is super awesome with their shipping! Even WITH all the crazy snows we've been having, it still got to us promptly. So, what fun deliciousness is in the box? For this round of treats, Mom chose these Canidae TidNips Meaty-Licious treats (view these treats on Chewy.com's webpage here , or on Canidae's webpage here ). She chose these for me because she knows I enjoy a good soft treat over harder crunchy ones, and these seemed to fit the bill. Here's how Chewy describes these treats on the treats webpage: CANIDAE Chicken, Turkey, Lamb & Salmon TidNips are soft and tasty treats that your dog will love! Made with real chicken, turkey, lamb, and salmon, and supplemented with Vitamin E and Omega-3 fatty acids, these treats are not only fun ...

Since Momma wasn't feeling well again today, it means we didn't get to go out and go for walkies or play in the yard. Which is sad, because it was actually decently warm today, for January. Lately the temperatures have rarely been going above 20*F...today it made it above 30*F and almost to 40*! It would have been a perfect day for a little walk down the road and some of my favorite game of fetch in the yard. I am sad we did not get to do those things, but it's ok because I kept myself quite busy with my chews, or one of my stuffies or just napping and cuddling with Momma on the couch. So for being such a good boy today, Momma gave me a special yummy treat that I had never had before...a hard boiled egg! ...what are you? Are you food? You are tasty...you must be food!  On-nom-nom...so good. Oooh this is the best part!  I had never had one of these before..but I sure do hope to have one again. This being a good boy thing certainly pays off!

....Tasty Tuesday...this means food and cooking doesn't it? Is THAT why you made me wear your silly apron again?! Actually...Mom is REALLY excited about this one, because she LOVES cooking and baking. Actually before she even though of having a dog or having a dog-blog...she had a baking and cooking blog . Or, well...she tried to have a baking and cooking blog. It didn't last long for various reasons. BUT ANYWAY...that's the past. What matter now is the present...and what's happening in the present? Banana Bites are!  Here are the ingredients, and the amounts for each one needed under the picture:  1/2c milk - 1/4c oil - 1/2c. honey - 1 1/4c. flour - 3c. oatmeal - 2 eggs - 2 bananas, mashed (The above photo is a tad inaccurate...mom got curious about oils for dogs after taking it, and went online to do some quick research. In our recipe we used a light olive oil instead of the above pictured canola!) Before mashing your banana, be sure to have your...

So one day mom is floating around on Facebook, snooping on people minding her own business when a shared post from the PetFlow.com Facebook page poped up in her feed. This company, one like Chewy, was looking for a bunch of people to test products for them! She's always looking for new things for me to try (I may be a little spoiled...) and jumped to sign up for it. A short bit later she received an email with an invitation to test and review Natural Balance's Delectable Delights Pawpaya Pilaf. Well, of course she took that invitation, and a day or so later it arrived on our doorstep!
