Victor Grain Free #ChewyInfluencer

Marcus:  Hey, you guys are looking a little green around the ... well, everything.  What happened?

Buddy:  It's almost time for the wearing of the green for St. Patrick's Day, so we thought a little green would be appropriate for the occasion.

Marcus:  A little green?  You couldn't just wear a green collar for the occasion?  Er ... where did you get the green food?

Merci:  From Chewy.com.  Where else?  They sent us some Victor super premium dog food to try.

Marcus:  We're doing a review of green food?  I think I'll skip this one.

Buddy:  No, this is what the food actually looks like.  Chunks in gravy.  But if you don't want any, that means more for us.

Marcus:  Not so fast. Jan has already spooned some over our breakfast kibble. Since it isn't green, I'm in.

Merci:  Chewy lists the key benefits as -

•     Natural, wholesome recipe with added vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients to keep your pup in peak health.

•     With premium ingredients that include chicken, beef broth, beef, carrots, peas, egg, and flaxseed.

•     Highly palatable: even the pickiest eaters will love the taste and texture of this delicious grain-free meal.

•     Supports healthy digestion, enhanced bowel function, and muscle health.

•     Omega fatty acids found in flaxseed contribute to healthy skin and a shiny, lustrous coat.

Buddy:  It's grain free, too. 

Merci:  Uh ... who is this little guy and what's he doing in my bowl?

Buddy:  He's a leprechaun.  Just eat around him. 

Merci:  Good, he's leaving.  I think he got a bit soggy from the water Jan adds to our kibble.

Buddy:  I hope his mom knows how to wash gravy stains out of his clothes.

Marcus:  I don't know whether to feel relieved or slighted.  My breakfast wasn't served with a leprechaun.

Merci:  You should be relieved. Your nose is too broad to eat around anything in your bowl.

Marcus:  I thought before I finish my Victor beef and vegetables, I should dress for the occasion.

Buddy:  You're dressed for the wrong occasion.  That's a Dr. Seuss hat.

Merci:  Oh, Marcus, you remembered.  You're so sweet.

Buddy:  He is?

Merci:  Yes, Marcus promised to take over Angel Sam's role as the Funny Farmer who is usually dressed for the wrong occasion.


We received this food free of charge from Chewy.com in an exchange for our honest review.  Chewy is not responsible for the green content or for the leprechaun in the bowl.

Marcus the Great Swampi 3

Cyndi: I see you're back, Swampi. What are you up to now?

Marcus:  I, the Great Swampi, will answer the comment questions from last Monday.  (The Great Swampi 2)

Cyndi:  Okay, I have to ask.  Are you just going to answer them, or are you going to answer them correctly?

Marcus:  There's a difference?

Cyndi:  Evidently not.  

Q: The Florida Furkids.    Can you tell us where Mom hid the treats?

Marcus:  Yes.

Cyndi:  Aren't you going to tell them where?

Marcus:  No, they only asked if I can tell them.  The answer is yes, but their mom wants it kept secret.
 
Q:  Yam Auntie.  Oh Master Swampi-ji... any clues on how to get home maintenance done without the usual agony and ecstasy and expense?

Marcus:  Yes, move to a home that doesn't need maintenance.

Cyndi:  Where would she find one?

Marcus:  I didn't say there is such a home.  I just suggested she move to one.

Q:  Angel, Kirby & Max.  Great Swampi, Mom says she has lost her mind. Do you know how, why, where it is and how we can get it back for her?

Marcus:  Yes.

Cyndi:  This is important.  Please answer them.

Marcus:  Follow Jan.  When she finds her mind, your mom's will be in the same storage locker.  Or refrigerator.  Those two places look alike to me.

Q:  Quinn. Okay, what did Mommy buy for her birthday that's for me? Bet you can't see that!

Marcus:  Of course I can see that.  She wrote on your blog she is buying you two presents for her birthday.  By the way, Happy Birthday to your mom!

Q:  Loulou.  Oh, Great Swampi, please let me know where mama keeps all the chocolate biscuits and while you're at it, there's one in there for you if you succeed.

Marcus:  She keeps them under the rock in the house.  Or is that over the rock?

Cyndi:  I hardly think anyone would keep biscuits under a rock.  They wouldn't be biscuits then, they'd be crumbs.

Marcus:  In that case, I believe she keeps them in the cupboard.  Third door to the right.

Cyndi:  And that ends today's answers by Marcus the Great Swamp.

Marcus:  Swampi.  The Great Swampi!

Sherlock Herms and Dori

Micah:  As you can tell by this photo, I am all keyed up and leaping with excitement today.

Cyndi:  You are?  I thought you were sleeping with your eyes open.  If this is your excited behavior, I'd hate to see you when you're low key.

Taylor:  I'm excited too.  This is my first Mousebreath interview.  I hope I did okay.

Rusty:  You did fine, Taylor.  

Taylor:  Even though I fell off the chair laughing at Sherlock Herms and Dori's stories?

Rusty:  Very unprofessional for an interviewer, but we were laughing too. 

Percy:  Sherlock Herms and Dori Intermew is our first Mousebreath interview since we retired nearly a year ago.  (Please let us know if you try to leave a comment at Mousebreath and are unable to.) 

Many of you know the paranormal detectives from Wonderpurr.  In fact, Fridays are when they post a new installment to their detective series.

Please share this with your friends to help spread the word.  We are looking for cats who would like to be interviewed for Mousebreath - bloggers, cats on social media, and Cat Scouts.  Every story is different.  Would you like to tell yours?  There is a contact form in our sidebar.

The Secret Code

Merci:  You do know, don't you, that staring so closely at the computer screen is bad for your eyes?

Taylor:  No, I wasn't aware of that, but I'm trying to figure out what this is.  I think it's a secret code.

Merci:  It's not a secret code.  It's a jigsaw puzzle.  You move the little pieces around until they fit together.  That's something Jan likes to do to relax.

Taylor: Oh, you mean like this?  I guess Jan couldn't figure out the secret code to this one.

Merci:  There is no secret code.

Micah:  Of course there is a secret code, Taylor.  And if you work on it long enough, you'll crack it.

*whispers*

Merci:  What are you doing, Micah?  There is no secret code!

Micah:    Who cares?  It has Taylor's attention and she's playing on the computer.  You know how terrified she is of the screen.

Merci:  Oh, right.  We should be thankful Taylor is so engrossed looking for the secret code that she hasn't run out of the room.

Micah:  Exactly.  And after a while she'll realize there is not need to fear the computer.

Taylor:  Hey, guys, I can read it.  I've cracked the secret code.

Merci:  You have?  What does it say?

Taylor:  It says, my siblings think I'm dumb - and deaf!  I'm going back to the bedroom where I'm safe.

Micah:  I guess that plan backfired, but, still, we should be thankful for small steps forward.



We always have much to be thankful for, so we are joining the Thankful Thursday blog hop at Brian's Home.
