sniff sniff

Some people wake up to the smell of coffee. I wake up to the smell of poo. Admittedly I totally brought this onto myself. I've been trying to figure out what to stuff Barksdale's Kong with and I don't think I'm having any success. Last time the bf went out of town, I stuffed her Kong with all kinds of goodness including peanut butter, natural balance lamb roll pieces, banana, sweet potato, and uh...steak. That set off some epic pooing that has scarred the bf for life. I attributed the epic to chicken apple sausage and vowed that she would never taste chicken again.

Thinking I had learned my lesson, I whittled my Kong stuffing list down to three ingredients:

1. Peanut Butter (I wasn't going to take any chances so I've been using Trader Joe's no sugar no salt peanut butter)
2. Her kibble
3. Chunk of Natural Balance Lamb Roll

But she still poo'd!

So now I'm not sure if it's too much peanut butter (I've limited this to half a spoonful) or the Lamb (sizable chunk but nothing too crazy). But if it's both, what am I going to stuff her Kong with? I need answers internet! Answers!

Dear Pug Owner

When I'm walking across the street and make my dog sit down because I can see your dog pulling insanely on the leash toward me, please do not let your dog pull you towards us and please do not let your pug sniff my dog in the face because your pug will get rocked.

Thanks.

Product Review: Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover

The best piece of advice my friend Anna has given me thus far - BUY THIS. The miracle is that it really neutralizes the smell of pee. Once we ran out of Nature's Miracle and had to use regular household cleaner. Following that unfortunate incident, we made the decision to upgrade from this:



to this:

whyyyyyyyyyyyy

8:00 a.m. Cleaning pee from the elevator floor while being intercepted by two neighbors. whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

The Dirty Little Secret

Somtimes, it just feels good to know that other people are going through the same thing you are: http://yesbiscuit.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/what-have-you-done-to-keep-your-pet/

Mama said there'll be days like this...

...There'll be days like this Mama said.

Weeks like this make me wonder why anyone in their right mind would ever get a dog. Barksdale has been pooping in her crate for the past two days and peeing in the hallway. Ender has been acting a fool, trying to run across the street to play with off leash dogs on our walks and not greeting people nicely.

Sigh.

Toy Review: Everlasting Treat Ball

In theory, this should be just as exciting as the Kong. It was for a while, until we left Ender alone with the Everlasting Bento Ball for the afternoon and he ate the WHOLE thing. And then proceeded to hurl everywhere. Everlasting my ass.

After:

Because we didn't want to clean up green barf every weekend, we hid that toy safely in the back of the drawer. However, his dog walker did recommend another product called the Everlasting Fun Ball. We use it to feed him his meals, as the dog walker says it might help him with his ADHD. We've used it for about two weeks now and it is still intact. However, the dirt factor is very high with this one as kibble bits are now strewn all over our hallway.
