Happy Birthday Collies, and a review for Chewy!

Today was a special day in our home.  Why?  Today our Ryder and Kori turned 4 years old.  Its hard to believe they are 4 already, but it also seems like they have always been a part of our family.  They have different personalities, with Ryder being more sensitive and preferring to spend his time with us.  Kori on the other hand is a little more focused on playing with the other smooth girls in our family. (but she still needs her cuddle time) They both have the sweet and gentle collie personalities, and they are both very loved.

 Before they received their birthday presents, they posed with Pumpkin for our newest review for Chewy.com.  They sent us Orijen Alberta Freeze dried Lamb dog treats and for Pumpkin, they sent us a Temptations snacky mouse cat treat toy.

 

 

 

They LOVED the treats!  Five out of five collies approved!  And looking at the ingredients, I love the quality.  Unlike so many dog treats you find on the store shelves these days, Orijen Alberta Lamb treats has just three ingredients.  Just. Three. Ingredients.  The only thing you will find in these treats are lamb, lamb liver and lamb tripe.  And what really sold me on these treats, is that none of the ingredients were outsourced.  So there is no need to worry about questionable ingredients from China or other countries.

And the Temptations Snacky Mouse Toy was really fun.  It took Pumpkin a few minutes to figure out how it worked, but once she caught on, she was fixated on it.  A toy that she could play with that dispensed treats?  Kitty heaven!  I can see this toy making lots of cats happy around the holidays!  It's definitely something we would recommend to others.

 Then it was time for toys and special birthday cookies.  They were so patient and so good for me.  I was happy to see they still remembered the "leave it" command I had taught them when they were puppies.  I guess a "collie never forgets!"

 
And finally, it was time for cake.  They are such good dogs, such amazing friends, they deserve to be spoiled on their special day!

Pumpkin's turn...

The second item we were asked to review for Chewy.com made our kitty, Pumpkin, a very happy feline! They sent us Orijen's Tundra cat treats.

Now Pumpkin will steal and eat dog cookies whenever she sees an opportunity, she is a small cat with a tiger's appetite.  However, she really loves when we give her treats made specifically for cats.  So we expected her to appreciate the cat treats sent to us by Chewy, but she absolutely devoured these treats!  When you check out the ingredients, it's easy to see why she went crazy over these morsels!  This is a product you can feel safe giving to your cat, it's GMO and grain free!
