We Lost By Treat Default

Merci:  I'm sure you were wondering where we were yesterday and why the cats wrote the first post of the year.  We drew straws.

Buddy:  No, we didn't.  We drew treats and the one who drew the chicken one would win for his team - Team Dogs or Team Cats.  But when it came Marcus's turn he ate the remainder of the treats, so we dogs lost by treat default.

Merci:  I was trying to be polite and keep us all from being embarrassed.

Marcus:  You just had to tell that story, didn't you!  You left out the part that I was late to the meeting and I missed the instructions.  I thought you were all just being generous when you passed the covered bowl to me.

Merci:  We haven't been doing much of this lately.  Walking, I mean, not standing around posing for dumb pictures of Marcus sleeping upright. I wonder how he does that?

Buddy:  The new year came in with a lot of rain, so we were doing a lot of this.

Marcus:  And this.  See, I really do like my crate even when Jan is home and the door is open.

Buddy:  We want to start the new year by giving you as big a laugh as the cats did yesterday.

Merci:  So we're posting this America's Funniest Video of Dogs Discovering Snow.

Marcus:  If this doesn't make you laugh, you might want to check your pulse to be sure you're still with us cause we were all rolling on the floor.

Natural Balance Dental Chews

MARCUS:  Hey, Jan, are you going to pass those out or eat them yourself? 

MERCI:  I doubt she will eat any but if you don't stop drooling on her, we'll never get any.

BUDDY:  Did anyone see the bag?  I don't know what we have this time.  I hope they're good.

MARCUS:  February is National Pet Oral Health Care Month, so we have Natural Balance Dental Chews.  These are grain free Pumpkin & Chicken Meal Formula with Papaya.  Oh, I know why Jan picked these for us to review.  Pumpkin and papaya are good for us. 

BUDDY:  These grooves are supposed to encourage healthy chewing action while removing plaque and tartar.  Notice whose paws are behind me waiting for an opportunity to steal MY treat.  Marcus, go away!

MARCUS:  Go ahead and give it to me, Jan.  It is supposed to be formulated to support easy chewing and digestion. 

MERCI:  With Vitamin C for immune function, and accented with parsley and alfalfa for our breath.  They also come in Duck Meal, Fresh & Clean, and Sweet Potato & Chicken Meal formulas. 

MARCUS:  Ha!  I fooled Jan.  She thought she forgot me so I got a second treat. 

MERCI:  They come in three sizes.  Small, small/medium, and medium/large.  These are medium/large.

BUDDY:  Merci is under 20 lbs, so she is considered small.  But look at her tuck into that medium/large treat!  She's having such a good time Jan can't even get a non-blurry shot of her.  There's nothing wrong with that senior dog's teeth! 

MARCUS:  For me?  And I can eat it in my private dining car?  Aw, Jan, you kept your word.  It's another day and we're getting another treat.

BUDDY:  I have learned a few manners in my senior years.  Well, not really.  Jan just got lucky with catching a shot.  I, too, was crunching so fast I was a blur.  We all loved these Natural Balance Dental Chews, so we give them three paws up.
