Friday Fun

ENJOY!!!

We are not here to advertise any product you may have seen on that fancy box in our family room. But Timber does want everyone to know that he is NOT in any way related to that silly Siberian on the TV who is afraid of bugs!!!  And he is wondering where his new friends went and when they are coming back:)

Thankful Thursday - #ChewyInfluencer

Today as we join Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, we want to honor Chewy.com. For several years now, we have taken part in the Chewy Influencer Program where we have the opportunity to try new products from the Chewy.com website and share our opinions with you.  This has all been done at no extra cost to us in exchange for fair and honest reviews.  Today we sadly will be doing our last review as Chewy has decided to bring the Influencer program to an end.  We have enjoyed doing every review and have many great memories of fun times and great products and wonderful gifts.  We give our deepest thanks to Chewy.com and all the Chewy Influencer team members, especially Ms. Sydney, Ms. Natalie, and Ms. Kristin. They have all been so easy to work with and so accommodating.  Chewy is a company that should serve as a business model for all to study. They have great customer service, an enormous inventory of products, speedy service, and a wonderful philosophy. Without further ado but with tears of sadness mixed with smiles and happiness, let's get on with our review.

This month for our second review, Mom selected another product by Purina.  We were so pleased with the canned food we reviewed earlier this year that we jumped at the chance to try this one.

 Purina Beyond Grain Free Alaskan Cod Recipe

As you may have guessed, the #1 ingredient is wild caught cod.  We ALL love fish here so we were pretty sure this would be a big hit.

Description:

Your dog deserves the best, so look beyond average dog food and serve Purina Beyond Alaskan Cod canned dog food. This scrumptious seafood recipe features regionally sourced Alaskan cod as the first ingredient, sourced directly from a MSC-certified sustainable fishery. It's the high-quality protein your best friend deserves, paired with vitamins and minerals for a wholesome, well-rounded meal that packs a nutritious punch. And it delivers all those benefits without adding fillers like by-product meal, corn, wheat, soy, grains or gluten! In fact, there are only four primary ingredients in this smooth, savory pate. That means your furball will enjoy a tasty meal that brings everything she needs, and absolutely nothing she doesn't.

Key Benefits:

• Regionally sourced Alaskan cod is the first ingredient, followed by only 3 other primary ingredients.
• High-protein formula supports your active dog's healthy muscles.
• Made with fish that was sustainably sourced from an MSC-certified fishery.
• Grain-free recipe excludes all grains and gluten, for a recipe that's safe for dogs with certain sensitivities.
• No corn, wheat, soy or by-product meals—it's nutrition without fillers!

Ingredients:

Cod, Chicken, Liver, Fish Broth, Essential Nutrients And Other Ingredients: Minerals (Potassium Chloride, Salt, Zinc Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Selenite), Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Vitamins (Choline, Vitamin E, Vitamin B-3, Vitamin B-1, Vitamin B-5, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-2, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin A, Folic Acid, Vitamin D-3). A430818

What's not to like about all of that???

The food has a texture that resembles a paté, smooth and creamy.  And it smells fishy!!!  YUM!!!  Mom wants to add that the fish smell is really not that strong unlike a lot of other "fishy" foods.

For dinner, we each get a bowl that looks like this - kibble, green beans, pumpkin, and a tablespoon or so of the canned food.  We wish we could get more, but Mom is always keeping tabs on our weight:(

We made a video for you to see how much we all enjoyed our dinner.  If you watch to the end, you might get a couple of laughs too.

No doubt about it - we give Purina Beyond Alaskan Cod Recipe canned food 12 paws up!!!

We wear our Chewy bandannas with great pride.  We send much appreciation to everyone at Chewy.com for everything.  AND we will definitely be remaining good and loyal customers of Chewy.com for all our pet needs.

Tasty Tuesday Treats #ChewyInfluencer

We always get excited when the doorbell rings and Mom comes back with a Chewy box.  It means that either it is time for our monthly autoship or it is time for us to do another ChewyInfluencer review for Chewy.com.  We were super delighted when we saw this:

Not just ONE Chewy box, but TWO, and both are pretty big.  So let's get started with our first review for March.

One of the options to select this month was a box of True Acre treats. There were only 25 boxes available, so we got Mom to request a box from Ms. Natalie right away.  We figured we would get a bag of yummy treats to try. So were we ever surprised when we saw what was in the box:

A gigantic box of True Acre Foods Baked Biscuits in the medium size treat.

That box weighs 8.5 lbs.!!!!!!!!!  Take a peek inside.

Look at ALL those biscuits.  Mom says we will have to share them with our cousin pups, Ruby, Duncan, and Dexter.  We are OK with that for surely there are plenty for all of us.  Now let's learn more about them.

Description:

Give your pup the simple goodness of a tasty, crunchy baked treat. True Acre Foods Medium Original Baked Biscuits are baked with care for the crunchy texture and savory flavor dogs love. Plus, they’re fortified with 12 vitamins and minerals for even more goodness in every bite. Keep a box in your cupboard for anytime your dog deserves a flavorful reward, or anytime you want to get his tail wagging for a delicious snack. They’re great for medium dog breeds, or you can break them up for smaller pups.

Key Benefits:

• Crunchy dog treat biscuits are baked with care for the texture dogs love.
• Fortified with 12 wholesome vitamins and minerals for added goodness.
• Great as a tasty reward or anytime snack your dog will wag for.
• Crunchy texture and tasty flavor keep dogs coming back for more.
• Perfectly sized for medium dog breeds. You can also break them up for smaller dogs to enjoy.

Mom was a little disappointed to see that the biscuits contain meat and bone "meal" and wheat flour. But since we eat a grain-free kibble, and we don't get to have LOTS of extra treats, a little wheat flour and meal would be OK.  She likes that the biscuits are very crunchy so we have to use our teeth to grind the treats, and that has to be good for our teeth.

We don't know about all that grain and meal stuff, but the biscuits in that box smell great to us.  Let's get on with the tasting, Mom.

Here are a couple of short (and not very good) videos.  Mom needs to have a second set of human paws around when she does these videos.

Despite the poor quality of our videos, we think you can tell we enjoyed the treats.

When you head over to Ruby's house to share some of our yummy treats with her, can I come too?  I want to be sure Ruby understands how delicious True Acre baked biscuits are.

Ruby???  Who is that??? And why is she getting some of our cookies???

This is Ruby - our cousin - the sweet Golden Retriever who shares her home with the three grands, Ms. K, Ms. C, and Mr. J.  Isn't she pretty?  Misty didn't get to go with Mom, but Ruby told Mom to tell us she loved the biscuits too.  She tried to get in the car to come home with Mom.

Pretty - sure she is, but don't forget how handsome I am???

Pretty?  Handsome?  Never mind about all that - I smell those treats!!!  C'mon, everyone - let's give Mom a money shot so we can have some more biscuits.

Nope, not yet - she doesn't have any of those True Acre baked goodies in her human paws.  Let's give her the "synchronized" non-cooperation shot.

NOW she does!!!  OK, Mom - hand over the goods. We have waited patiently while we finished our review.

Thank you to Ms. Natalie and Chewy.com for giving us the opportunity to taste test this product.  We all (including Ruby) agree that they are fantastic!!!

Disclaimer:  We received this BIG box of True Acre Baked Biscuits from Chewy.com at no cost to us in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Not-So-Wordless Wild Weather Wednesday

Did you hear there is a "bomb cyclone" heading across the country today?

BOOM!!!  - did it hit here already???

Ha Ha - did I fool you?  This disaster was created by ME!!!  I am so bored with my inside confinement due to all this rain.  So I decided to blow up my toy box!

Oh, OK.  Mom, I am sorry.  I was just trying to be funny.  Now I am more serious, and I am sending good vibes to everyone across the country to be safe from this monster storm.
