not in my backyard

the other day i noticed this hole in my backyard. it goes under our fence and out the other side. hmm

the next day, i saw this little face come out of it!
hello little squirrel. what are you doing here?

he's adorable but i can't have this little guy making escape routes in my backyard. sorry mr squirrel but your hole has been filled and topped with more pea gravel. hopefully he will get the message and not come back.

bonus product review: american journey chicken recipe grain-free oven baked dog treats #ChewyInfluencer

earlier this month when chewy sent us a package of cosequin to review, they also sent us a surprise package of american journey chicken recipe grain-free oven baked dog treats. woo-hoo!

as you would expect, bailey could not handle the cookie on her own so i had to grab my handy dandy rolling pin and crushed them to bits. after they were broken up, they were quickly gobbled up.

aoife has no problem eating a cookie on her own and devoured it in a matter of moments. she liked these cookies so much, the little piggy she helped herself to an extra cookie when i wasn't looking!

this product was a hit with both girls and is awarded bailey's pink paw seal of approval.

product review: nutramax cosequin maximum strength #ChewyInfluencer

aoife is 11+ years old but don't tell her that! she still thinks she's a puppy. she runs and plays and jumps like pups a fraction of her age. but her body is aging, whether she knows it or not. we've noticed a bit of arthritis setting in and it takes her a little longer to get up so she has been taking cosequin minis for a while now. they do seem to be helping her so when the good people at chewy offered nutramax cosequin maximum strength (ds) plus msm soft chews joint health dog supplement, i jumped at the chance to give these a try.

luckily aoife was visiting the weekend that the chewy box arrived.

these are larger and thicker than the minis but that's not a problem for aoife at all. because the minis are made for pipsqueaks like bailey, aoife's vet said to double the dosage. since these are maximum strength, she'll be getting half a chew per dose.

from their website:
Cosequin DS Plus MSM & Omega-3s contains FCHG49® Glucosamine Hydrochloride†, TRH122® Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate†, and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). This combination of ingredients helps to protect your dog's joints and support healthy cartilage matrix production. Each soft chew also contain omega-3 fatty acids to help support skin & coat health.

aoife loves her cosequin and gives them bailey's pink paw seal of approval.

disclaimer: i received this item free of charge from chewy.com in an exchange for my honest review.

got crumbs? #tbt

remembering the day, in 2014, when a little bird asked bailey for a crumb.

bird: excuse me but, can you spare a crumb?

"of course little birdie."
