Ways to Appreciate More Treats!

Vinny says:

February 23rd - It's International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day!  What a GREAT day!  I really appreciate dog biscuits every day, but having a special day means that my person will have a wonderful reminder to let me have even more of them!

So I started to think about more ways that I can get (and appreciate) more dog biscuits!

Do more tricks!

What about puppy dog eyes and an adorable expression?

Follow my nose!

Play with puzzle toys!

Go shopping!

Smooch my favorite biscuit baker!

What are some of your favorite ways to get more treats and biscuits?

It's OK to Be Different!

January is It's OK to be Different month!  What a great way to begin the new year, as we are taking a look at making life better for ourselves and our dogs!  We're all different, so that we can all bring something marvelous and unique to this world.  Too often we see bullying or discrimination due to differences - in our human world, but also in the dog world.  This month reminds us to embrace and celebrate our differences and what we can all bring to the world!  Enjoy some wonderful quotes that remind us to be proud of all our differences!  

"If you desire to make a difference in the world, you must be different from the world."
