Happy 13th birthday to our girl, Jade! She’s an amazing doggo! She’s doing so well with RV life. She loves to get out and sniff, play Frisbee, and eat all the cheese she can get into her mouth.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday
At the vet today for routine care and vaccines. They were not nearly as pitiful as they look.
Dog Mom Pro Tip
Okay, y’all already know I can be a tad dense at times. Maybe you already figured out the tip I’m sharing today. But when the lightbulb went off above my head a couple of days ago it was life changing! So, let’s talk poo bag holders.

Dog Cookies (aka Cookie Crack)
Our dogs love these cookies. Seriously. They will dance for them. Even Jade the Diva who is (I swear) a cat in a dog suit. And y’all, they smell so freaking good! I promise they smell like human cookies. My mouth waters when I open the bag. I may or may not have tasted one.… Continue reading Dog Cookies (aka Cookie Crack)
