Once in a while (okay, every day) I like to give my doggies a little treat for being good (okay, cute). I received some veggie dog treats in the mail today, courtesy of Chowitaliano.com -they are based here in CA, and here's what they say on their site:"...[We] respect strict rules of quality and eco-sustainability, and are exclusively free of dyes and artificial preservatives. No animals have been harmed in the making of these products."
...Not bad! But, will they pass the Doggie Approval Test? Well, here's your answer:
Dog #1 (Ahwahnee)
An appropriate "sit," followed by extreme fixation. She finished her's before I finished giving bones to the other two, but she's ravenous like that. Her motto is "seek and destroy."
Dog #2 (Jack)
"Oooh, what's that?"
...Maybe he'll give a good gnaw or two when no one's around!
Just don't try and take it away, 'cause this dog's an expert at tug-o-war!
Dog #3 (Teo)
The oldest, and most nonchalant (and finicky) of the bunch- gave it an incredulous look, sniff, and an ultimate lick.
Then, finally embraced the treat by munching in a very mature, casual fashion.
"Mmm... not bad- may I have another, please?"

Inspired, I decided to whip up a batch of treats myself. They'll all be my best friend when they get a whiff!

Dog #2 (Jack)
"Oooh, what's that?"He is by far the most entertaining in the way that he covets his treats, not allowing anyone near him until he finds a good place to hide it for later.

ReplyDeleteOh, Strummer (http://strummercalling.blogspot.com) likes the Croky corn flavor. I bought them in Sweden! I brought a bone home as well, but she didn't go for it.
