Earth Day Tips for Dogs

Happy Earth Day!!!

Today we are sharing a few tips on how to cut down your carbon pawprint and celebrate Earth Day!

Use biodegradable poop bags: Did you know that it takes 1,000 years for a plastic bag to degrade?

Spring Cleaning: Instead of tossing, donate your old towels, sheets, leashes and collars to a shelter.

Go Eco-Friendly: Rather than using harsh chemicals to clean up after your dog, use vinegar instead. It's a great odor remover and kills bacteria and mold.

Clean Up: Do you have a favorite local park? Gather some friends to help clean it up while the dogs play!

Take a Hike: Take your dog on a hike and just enjoy the great outdoors and all that mother nature has to offer.

The Helpers

This weekend dad built a raised bed garden for mom so we decided to supervise help.

First, I had to make sure he was using the correct equipment...

 and the proper tools....

Bruin is making sure dad doesn't loose any digits...

Silly dog thinks dad is building this for him...

Maggie doing what she does best, soaking up the sun while all of us work...

Great job, dad...

Looks like a giant kitty litter box if you ask me!!!

Happy Easter!!!

Natural Balance Belly Bites Review

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings. Lets all take a moment to remember the lives that were lost and those that have changed forever on this day...

Today we are sharing our review of Nature Balance's Belly Bites, courtesy of our buddy Mr. Chewy!

First off, we need to say how fast Mr. Chewy ships his goodies. We don't know how he does it but we are amazed how quickly things arrive at our house by the big brown truck! Bravo Mr. Chewy!!!!

Now for the Natural Balance Belly Bites, just the name makes our bellies growl!

They come in three different flavors...

Today we are tasting the Duck and Legume Formula, mmmmmm we love everything duck!!!

First a little about the treats:

• They are semi-moist, perfect for pups who have fragile teeth.
• They are grain-free, for those pups with sensitive bellies
• They contain high quality ingredients: duck, peas and garbanzo beans
• They are made in the USA!!!

Now for the tasting:

Mr. Chewy's boxes smell so darn good!!!

Maggie decided she was going to get started, she takes this taste-testing very seriously.

The belly bites are a great size for a puppy or adult dog!

Mom decided today that she was going to make us work for the treats.

Having a new "little" brother now, everything gets turned into a training event around here. I guess if Bruin is going to be our newest taste-tester than he's gotta learn the ropes!

Bruin's waiting patiently to wrap his lips around that scrumptious treat...not bad for an 8 month old pup!!

 Here's Maggie catching a Belly Bite in mid-air...

And finally here I am waiting patiently to scoff up a delicious Belly Bite of my own...

The results:

We LOVED these Duck and Legume Belly Bites, they tasted as good as they smelled and are a perfect bite size treat for us bigger dogs who are watching our figures!

Mom loved the treats because they are grain-free, made with quality ingredients and made in the USA.

If you'd like to purchase these Belly Bites and try them for yourself you can purchase them at Chewy.com.

Hurry up because they are on SALE right now $6.99 for a 6oz. bag.

Disclosure: We received this bag of treats for review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.

Mischievous Ducks

Here we are walking through the park, minding our own business...

Until the ducks started taunting us....

Maggie wanted to jump in and join them, Bruin could have cared less and I just wanted a little taste of them.
