Howl-O-Ween

So furiends I have racked my brain for months on what to be for Howl-O-Ween.  This is my first Howl-O-Ween so it had to be perfect.  So one night we were watching videos on YouTube and I was STRUCK with inspiration.  I saw something green and round.  I instantly knew what I wanted to be!  I pawed through the interwebs and found exactly what I was looking for on eBay.

I showed momma and she thought it was perfect too! So we paid and a few days later my costume arrived!


Are you ready....



Are you sure...



On the count of 3...



1...2...3...



I'm a little SOYBEAN!!!!!!!!!

I'll be out in the field eating treats if anyone needs me.

#ChewyInfluencer - Newman's Own Chicken and Sweet Potato sticks

I have an awesome #ChewyInfluencer product review for you today.  I am taste testing Newman's Own Chicken and Sweet Potato sticks.  When I saw these on the influencer list to try I knew they would be a must have!  Seriously what could better than a stick but a chicken and sweet potato stick?!?!?!

We will start with the impawtant facts for your hooman to read.

Newman's Own Snack Sticks are made without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. These tasty treats include organic chicken, grains and vegetables. Newman's Own Snack Sticks are great as a soft, everyday dog treat.

Key Benefits:
Made with organic chicken, grains and vegetables: a healthy, delicious snack
No wheat or corn, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives
Free of added antibiotics and chemical additives
High palatability, loved by dogs of all sizes and lifestages
Packaged in a convenient resealable pouch that keeps treats fresh and is great for rewarding your pup on the go!

Momma set up the taste test to see which stick I would choose...A yard stick or the Newman's Own Snack Stick.

I bypassed the yard sticks (which normally would NEVER be the case) and....

...took the Newmans Own Snack Stick!  The smell of sweet potato and chicken was overwhelming!!!

I then took it to my favorite rocker to chew in peace!

CHOMP!

Giving some side eye to a squirrel tryin' to sneak up on my taste test.

I give Newman's own a 5 (*****) rating!  They are crunchy, chewy and taste like chicken!  I do believe I will have to add these into my puppy play packs for my big cross country adventure (more on that later).  Side note: For petite pups these snack sticks can easily be broken up into small pieces by a hooman. 

Visit Chewy.com to check out all the products by Newman's Own.  They have canned food, jerky and snack sticks in every flavor combination known to pup! And if you find the one that tickles your taste buds you can have your hooman put them on autoship so you never run out!!!!

Bi-Yearly Vaccinations and Errands

Per the email from the clinic I am due for a bi-yearly Bordetella vaccine.  Its only intranasal so no pokes!  I think I can be brave!

Momma didn't get a picture of me getting my vaccine, she was too busy talking but before I left I got to go into the tiny room at the clinic.  It's called the x-ray room.  The hoomans wear funny lead outfits and I get to lay out on a big table and just relax.  When the big bell goes off it takes my picture.  Although I cant quite figure out how.  There was no flash like on mommas camera.  Anyhoo...here is the shot they got.  Oh no!  They cut off my head.  All they got were my paws.  But my oh my they are cute huh!  And quite skinny with no furs!

I did it I did it!!! YIPEE!

I bartered for some CET chews in exchange for my cooperation.

I gotta bust this bag open!

GRR

Why must they make the bags puppy proof?

I almost got it but had to ask momma for assistance.

After the vet we went to the Bank for a depo-sit. 

Momma got sent back a piece of paper and I a bank bone.  YUM!

All gone! 

After the Bank we stopped at Hucks for gas and guess what!!!!!!!!

I spotted some peoples I knew!

Its Grandpa and Aunt Gracie!!!!!!!!!  Best trip to get gas evers!

Gracie Gets a Dental Cleaning While I Run Errands

10-13-2017 So at Gracie's last bi-yearly vaccinations it was mentioned that she needed a dental cleaning.  So momma made the appointment and the day has come.  I got bathed, because I was getting something special too, and had to be brushed out.

After a billion and a half hours I was sufficiently floofed!

We loaded up in my carseat.

And set out for Flanary Vet Clinic.

We have arrived!  We are sporting Lupine leashes and collars.  Im in the purple "Jelly Roll" and Gracies in the "Red Bandana".

Once Gracie got the once over from Dr. Rushing she was kenneled up to await her turn on the dental schedule.

Then I got my turn.  Seems I had to get an exam for a travel health certificate.  Its for our grand cross country adventure (more on that later).  Dr. Rushing listened to my heart, checked my joints, then she took my temperature....and that was done in an unkind way.  I will spare you the details!  I told her I didn't feel hot, but she didn't believe me!

It was super sad to leave my Gracie behind.  *Sheds tears*

And just thinking about that thermometer is making me itchy again!

Momma made it up to me by taking me to the bank to get a bone.

SCORE!!!!

Then we stopped by True Value and picked up some "key covers" for mommas new apart....um thats topsecret for now.  Sorry.   She will be getting new keys for a big project she is working on.  :)

Paid up and ready to hit the road!

I was feeling quite parched after the busy morning so I stopped by sonic for...

...a poodle sized cup of water.  And they even gave me ice.  I love cold waters!

We got the text a few hours later that Gracie did great and she would be ready to come home later that afternoon.
