Mom would have preferred it to be chunky

 but we did not care - it smelled really good

Hazel takes a liquid medicine twice a a day and adding it to a scoop of soft food makes it easy to give it to her. 

And to be fair - all three of us get some bites

You can see that Hazel is licking her chops 

while Bailey gives it a taste

Hazel would like some more mom!

I thought it smelled so good I went a little crazy

I jumped right up to get my bite!

The next morning I wanted some of this Wellness food so bad that I forgot my manners and tried to grab Bailey & Hazel's bites. So I guess you could say I really like it

thank you Chewy for sending us this food that is not only yummy but good for us too!

Our friends at Chewy have the best prices, super fast shipping and pawsome customer service!

disclaimer: We were not compensated for this review. As a #chewyinfluencer we were sent a box of Wellness canned dog food in exchange for our honest review

Another Ribbon!

 Dad drove me & Mom down to Utah on Saturday 

for another Obedience Trial

Mom had great intentions of taking the camera but we had to leave at 5:30 am and she forgot to grab it

So you have to settle for pictures after we got back home

I got mom a little worried when we got to the site.

The grass was very wet 

and there was no way I wanted to sit in that wet grass.

But when it was my turn to go in the ring I did just fine

190 pts and second place in Beginner Novice Obedience!

We had to get on our way back home to Bailey & Hazel 

but we stopped at a PetsMart 

and I got to pick out any toy I wanted!

I really liked this beaver guy - 

he has a cool tail to grab on to

Come on Beaver!

Let's play!

Treats for Lexi

Today we want to join our friends 
in remembering and honoring LEXI

We met Lexi when she launched her campaign
 for Mayor of Blogville and we quickly learned 
she was a very talented and loving girl. 
Sadly she had to leave for the Rainbow Bridge.

Her wonderful boyfriend Noodle is hosting

We pugs love just about any treats

but one of our favorites is yogurt

Sometimes when the peeps are having ice cream

we get to have bites of yogurt

Hazel is usually very dainty taking her bite

Can you tell that Bailey is excited for his ?

Mabel doesn't wait for the spoon to come to her

mmmmmm yummy!

 Can we have more??

After walking all around the HUGE store

look what Mom found in the Christmas Decorations

Isn't she just the cutest!

she was already on sale at 40% off 

and they did not find anything else to buy 

so they got in line at the check out

While waiting in line 

Mom just happened to look to her right 

and

who did she see??

 MEL!!

from the movie The Secret Life of Pets!!!!

He was not on sale so Mom got to use her 40% off coupon and Mel came home with them too!

Dear Greta

 Has it really been two years since that day my heart broke in a million pieces?  

You fought so hard to stay with us 

but the toxins from that nasty mushroom you ate 3 days earlier won the fight. 

Cause of death - acute fulminating liver toxicosis - 

at the tender age of 2 1/2.  

Sadness took over my world. Even with the arrival of  Mabel a few months later - 

the sadness stayed - life goes on - but the sadness was always there, 
just underneath the surface.

I did not really talk about it - it was just the way it was. It seemed I needed to get past the first anniversary of your leaving to start to let the sadness go.

I still tear up when I think of you, I always will - we loved each other so. You were such a handfull but you taught me so much about patience and perseverance in your short time with us - and I am a better pet parent because of you.

 Your leaving left such a huge hole and although I knew that a new pup would help heal my heart - I was scared. Scared the pup would not take to training in obedience, what if  the pup was as naughty as you - oh dear God! - what if the pup did not love me like you did - and the worst worry - what if I could not love a new pup because she wasn't you.

My Dear Greta - you showed us the way - we had looked at some puppies online but none felt right.  Then I saw a picture of Mabel's mom and in her eyes I saw you. There were two girls - one smaller and darker - like you. And when a picture came with a comment - "she was the most stubborn for pictures"  - it was like you were speaking to my heart - "she's the one" you said.

  And now when I look in Mabel's eyes  - I not only see Mabel's love - I also see you.  It is like your spirit shines through her and you are one.   Am I crazy to think that??

Mabel is so smart and full of personality - just like you were. She runs like the wind - just like you did. Oh Greta forgive me but thank goodness she is not as intense and naughty as you were - although she has her moments. No -  Mabel is not you - but I love her just as much - thank you for guiding us to her and for showing me through Mabel that you are forever with us. Forever in my heart. 

For those of you who may be newer friends

 I would love it if you would read the tribute to my special girl
