Nibbles Treats - review

*warning this post is picture heavy! Enjoy! :)

Today the boys got a big surprise! A package arrived for them in the mail!


Unfortunatly it looked like the mail lady thought the package would taste yummy and tried to take a bite of of the packaging. Or maybe Trophy took a chunk out before i got home... hard to tell. And check out Q, would you? He's sassing me. (He's feeling much better today if you couldn't tell)


uh... mawm? can you stop gabbing and get to the treat opening.


Sass I tell you. Well, my goodness. Three goodies to try from our new friends over at "You Had Me At Arf!" Aren't you boys spoiled? Turns out the dogs over there are lucky enough to have their very own dog treat company! And you can check out their online store here: http://nibblestreats.com/.

Let's check out the goodies. First up are WHO SHOT JR'S. Made with unbleached white flour, wheat germ, all natural peanut butter (no salt or sugar added), egg, vegetable oil & carob chips. Sounds like the puppy version of a Reeses-cookie. yum.


They're even shaped like bullets! Don't they look delish?


What do you think Qwill?


*Schlurrp*


Just the treats, not my fingers please!


mumphsorrymumble. *crunch crunch munch*


Mmmm thish is delectable


Mmmm chooooocolate


It's actually Carob Trophy.
who cares. more plz!


Well. Those went over well. Next up is some cheesy goodness.
CHEDDAR CHEESE STICKS: Whole wheat flour, baking powder, vegetable oil & low-fat shredded cheddar cheese


Ok, check out the melty cheezie awesomeness of these treats. These almost look good enough for me to eat. (Oh, and I COULD TOO. that's the best part of all natural treats)
















If you couldn't tell, these were a bit hit.


Last up is this delishous pretzel.








The verdict?



TROPHY PUT THE PRETZELS BACK RIGHT NOW!!


Yeah, they love them.


Oh! And Zeus loves them too. He didn't even wait for me to open the bags.




Luckily he's a bit easier on my fingers. I wasn't sure about the compatibility of carob with a kitty's digestive tract, so i didn't let him have any of the "who shot JR's", but he loved the cheese sticks.



The low down:
Nibbles Treats is built around one idea: providing yummy organic treats for dogs where healthy trumps all other factors. I liked how the treats are named after actual dogs, it's a nice break from dog food boutiques whose names are so annoyingly over thought (really, there's no prize for fitting "paw" into every one of your 200 treat varieties. :-P) and of course, knowing that these treats are all natural is a comforting thought - won't the boys hate it if i try to share their treats?

Not to mention that the customer service is delightful. :)

Further testing will need to be done, but i think the cheese sticks were the favorite. How could any-pup say no to all this cheese?


In conclusion, you should all check out these delish treats. I know we'll be ordering again!

Poor Poor Mr. Q

Qwilly had a dental cleaning today. While he was under they removed a tiny skin tag that was on his upper lip under his nose. It wasn't growing, and wasn't bothering him, but it bothered me.

Poor Q. I don't know what is so different about this time versus his dental a year ago, but he is is out of it.


The lights are on...


but no one is home.


He's down for the count...again.


In fact, all he's done since i brought him home is follow me around like the lost little dude he is, and lick his catheter site


Poor guy. He's so pathetic.


He needs some snuggles.


Before we head to bed, Qwill wants to make sure you know that we've added 7 Spring collars to our etsy shop. You can view them all in the slideshow that plays on our site, but here are a few of our faves.

Silly Shiner

I just love group shots of my boys. :)


especially ones that put them in odd situations. Qwill and Trophy jumped on the table with no problems. Shiner, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with it.


altho, he wasn't as angry about it as he was in this picture:


but the real fun always comes at the release.
OK!!


Trophy and Qwill know what's goin' on!


Whee!!


uh... Shiner? you coming?


Not no how not no way am i jumpin' off dis ting. SAVE ME!!!!

The Anatomy of a Broken Butt Play Fight

The boys are really enjoying the spring weather. Let's join them in their favorite game: kill the puppy*.

Trophy, stupid pup that he is can be, starts the game by locking onto his target and pouncing at a million miles an hour.


Unfortunatly he tends to overshoot his intended target. Instead of using his superior speed to gain the upper hand by circling back around his foe and trying again, the dunderhead tries to run while facing backwards.


Two things to note in this pic, 1. they're still traveling at a million miles an hour (evidenced by the blurry ground) 2. Trophy is completely perpendicular to his direction of movement. Frankly I don't know how he didn't/doesn't crash and burn.


Obviously this gives Qwill the opportunity to catch up and take him down.


He managed to get free, but that's when backup comes in. Qwill and Shiner are always on the same team when it comes to battling Monster.


Then they faceoff like stallions at war.


Trophy doesn't stand a chance. Once they have him down, Qwill will pin him while Shiner goes for the thigh. Apparently he likes dark meat.


Then, when he start squealing like a little girl I have to call off the troops.


Except then Trophy gets all macho, because he thinks he scared the big boys off with his gigantic muscles.


But they don't let it get to his head.


One last crack at telling Qwill who's really boss...


Then they decided to get a drink. Which always gives Shiner the ZOMGZOOMIES




OH The neighbor's dog came to say hi! (Trophy didn't like the competition for cutest lab, and tried to kill poor Taz with his tieout rope.)


MORE ZOOMIES!


WHAT MAWM HAS TREATS???


ZOMG GUYS! TREEEEEEAATSSS!


HAI mawm! Hai! I can has cookie now plz?!



Ooo! me too plz?


What are we talkin' 'bout?


More tomorrow!



*No Trophys (Trophies?)are ever severely harmed in the kill the puppy game.
