#ChewyInfluencer August Review #2

Today our #ChewyInfluencer review is for

Gamma2 Vittles Vault Stackable Pet Food Storage

The Stackable Vittles Vault 

is just right for keeping your pet food fresh! 

It's made of heavy duty plastic 

and is stackable for efficient storing.

 they are completely airtight 

to keep freshness in and pests out. 

Key Benefits

• Easy and wide screw lid opening helps to ensure freshness without much effort and the space efficient and stackable design keeps these containers organized and easy to store.
• Heavy duty, BPA free food grade plastic. For those who care about the safety and storage of their furry friend’s food.
• Airtight seal keeps pests out and food fresh. Your furbaby never has to settle for stale kibble again.
• Keeps pet food odor contained in vault. No more pet food smells emitting from your cabinet or attracting other animals

They even include a free measuring cup!

A large bag of dog food lasts a long time for me & Hazel

Larger bags are more economical

 so being able to keep it fresh is impawtent.

The wide opening makes it easy to pour the food in, 

 scoop it out and plenty big enough for me to help myself!

What?? 

Mom says that is not allowed, BOL!

The Vittles Vault also comes in different sizes to meet your food storage needs.

Thank you Miss Natalie and Chewy for providing us with a

Gamma2 Vittles Vault Stackable Pet Food Storage

Hazel's Hijinks!

 Do I have a story to tell you today about my sister Hazel

I know you all think she is a sweetie but she can be mischievious. 

Unfortunately there are no pictures of what transpired 

so you will have to use your imagination. 

Last weekend there was the 3 day Obedience and Rally Trial 

at a park about 45 minutes from us

I was entered all 3 days and Hazel was entered in the Team event Saturday afternoon

The weather was very warm and Dad offered to bring Hazel to the park in the afternoon

so she would not have to be in the heat all day. 

Mom and I were hanging out waiting for the Rally classes to begin 

when here comes Dad walking toward us - All Alone! 

Mom was puzzled - where was Hazel ??? 

Dad said " She locked herself in the pick up"  

WHAT???? 

Mom starts freaking out

He then said "She's OK, the truck is running and the air conditioning is on"

It seems when Dad pulled into the parking area he had to "go". 

So he parked by the porta potty and left Hazel in the truck. 

When he went back, she had locked the door!!

Mom was still freaking out as they tried to figure out who to call

Dad finally found a lock smith who said he would be there in a few minutes.

They watched and waited - the park we were at is a large park - 

there is a zoo, ball fields,tennis courts, play ground and picnic areas. 

 And the locksmith couldn't find us!

Dad was on the phone trying to give him directions, Mom went to go check on Hazel

She peaked in the window. Hazel saw her and got excited. 

She came over to the window, danced her paws up and down and Mom heard a "click".

 OMD!  

Hazel unlocked the door! 

The locksmith finally found us and Dad had to give him $20 for showing up

Not to be outdone,

I had my own adventure on Sunday

but

that is a story for another day!

Tomorrow we will have some more info for the upcoming Blogville events

#ChewyInfluencer Pug Fashion Stars

It's Fashion time with 

Chewy.com

A girl can never have too many dresses!

Mom says purple is my color - what do you think?

This month we received two great items to review

Vittles Vault Pet Food Container 

and 

Merrick Back Country Freeze Dried Real Salmon Treats

Today we are going to review the

 Merrick Freeze Dried Real Salmon Recipe Treats. 

My Cheetah dress makes me feel wild! 

Do you think cheetahs eat salmon??

Key Benefits

• Treats offer the benefits of raw nutrition in a safe and easy-to-serve freeze-dried form.
• All-natural recipe includes real salmon as the first ingredient, so they’re high in protein and nutrition.
• Features a hearty, wood-smoked taste that makes dogs go wild.
• Specially formulated to mimic the ancestral canine diet with ingredients from USA family farms.
• No grain, gluten, corn, wheat, soy, artificial flavors, colors or preservative

I am dressed to dine in my navy dress 

accented with delicate purple flowers.

 I can smell the wonderful Ingredients

Salmon, Whitefish, Dried Peas, Dried Potatoes, Gelatin, Salt, Mixed Tocopherols (preservative).

My navy gingham is pawfect for the upcoming fall pawties

and the delicious salmon smell has caught the attention

 of another Pug Fashion Star!

Hazel is looking ravishing in red gingham!

A Fun Weekend!

I sure had a fun 3 days at the

Upper Snake River Valley Dog Training Club

Obedience and Rally Trials

On Friday we entered Rally Novice

I finished this title last year but Mom thought it would be a fun no pressure way to start the weekend

I earned 89 out of 100 pts. and 3rd place

Saturday we were entered in 

Beginner Novice Obedience

I needed one more qualify to earn the title

Wahoo! 

 190.5 points for second place 

and my

Beginner Novice Obedience Title!

We also entered Rally Advanced

Mom wanted to get an idea of how I would do off leash

We didn't qualify because Mom missed a station.

But I stayed with her through the whole course

 and she was very pleased about that!

 

Sunday we did Beginner Novice again 

and we got 4th place with a 190 score

A great weekend!

Hazel got to have some fun too 

and brought home her own ribbon

At this trial they always have a Team event on Saturday

It is just for fun and the teams get very creative

Hazel's team was called

The Old Duffers

All four dogs were over 10 yrs old 

and the mom's dressed up like old ladies. 

Mom & Hazel rode into the ring in a wheelchair! BOL!

They played Lawrence Welk Music while they were heeling and did their best to entertain the audience

And because they were the only team that entered

they won 1st Place!!

A friend was taking pictures during the trial so we will share some of them when we get them
