Best Bully Sticks: More Than Just Sticks

Today after my adventure to the park, I checked out my Best Bully Sticks box and chose another treat to try. Now, I'm serious about testing treats, so serious I allow myself only one per day.

So today it was Beef Trachea. Actually, being an Urban Coonhound, I really don't want to know exactly what these chews were but it was kinda obvious. The main thing I wanted to know was that Best Bully Sticks products are are bacteria free and safe for dog’s consumption. And their website confirms this. NO PRODUCTS FROM CHINA ARE USED. Believe, me I checked on that!

Here I am really getting into this chewy treat. I hate to admit it, but I ate the whole thing!
Don't worry. It's safe!

So I carefully checked out this unwrapped product and figured how to chew on it. I started with one end and once I started ripping and chewing, I just kept going until IT WAS ALL GONE! Now, Best Bully Sticks recommends that a dog be supervised when ripping into the sticks and products so that they eat them slowly and don't choke. I was pretty careful but my owner watched me just in case.

One thing we both found out as my owner unwrapped the Trachea, was that it doesn't smell. It is dried and not greasy. It's like other chews but we know it is real and carefully dried. According to Best Bully Sticks, Trachea are high in both chondroitin and glucosamine (These naturally occurring agents have both been proven as effective in promoting healthy joints in dogs).

I am really getting into these treats. In fact, I am beginning to feel like a real "Paleo Dog!"

Tomorrow, I'll tell you what Bully Sticks are made of! You'll never believe it! And, I'll try one more product from my gift box.

Love, Cinnamon

Cinnamon Gets a Package in the Mail

I knew it! I knew it! Earlier today we got a package in the mail and I knew it was for me. Unfortunately we had to wait to open it after my owner got back from the dentist.

All that while I wondered what it might be:

- A kitten?
- A puppy?
- A toy?
- New Food?
- Snacks?

So we just got to open my package. On the outside it said "Bully Sticks." So is that a toy? Or something to scare bullies away with?

Here I am opening MY BOX!

Slowly I opened the box and explored the note cards and three packages. IT WAS TREATS! I LOVE TREATS!

I was told I could open just one package to start with. I have to fully review each item so one at a time is the best way to do it.

So I asked for the sticks. WOW! I love the sticks. I can't wait to tell you all about them and try the other things too!

Here I am savoring the sticks. These are great. I can't wait to tell all
and try the other treats that came in the Best Bully Sticks box

Love, Cinnamon, the Happy Dog!

Happy Anniversary to Cinnamon's Blog

Here I am tweeting about my blog!

Hi. It's me, Cinnamon. I don't know when my real birthday is because no one told me.

But I DO KNOW when the anniversary of my blog is. My blog is one year old this April. I started blogging on April 4th, 2013. I started the blog because I found out I had FANS! And they wanted me to keep writing.

So here is my first blog post from last April. I enjoy blogging because I get lots of attention. And, sometimes I get sympathy from my readers. I just eat that up.

After I started blogging I joined the Pet Bloggers Network, BlogPaws, and things really took off. I, Cinnamon, love blogging!

I have to go take a nap. I understand a package for me will be delivered this afternoon. I'll need all my strength to open it and see what's inside!

Love, Cinnamon

Cinnamon Wins the Chair!

Here's the den. The forbidden chair is the green one on the right.

It was a lazy Easter day with not much for me to do. They don't allow me in church so I stayed by myself all morning.

And I got in trouble, too. I ran outside and barked at the neighbor cat not once, not twice, not three times. Well, you get the picture. I barked even though I didn't know if the cat was in their back yard or not. It just smelled like cat over there... reason enough to bark.

So after dinner my owner was getting ready to go spend time with her friends. I was all comfy in a marvelous sunbeam in the den. When I found out she was leaving I eyed the BIG GREEN CHAIR. THIS IS FORBIDDEN TERRITORY!

Usually when she leaves, she boots me out of the den and closes the door. Because she knows that the minute the garage door closes, I AM UP ON THE CHAIR!

She took pity on me this one time and this is what I saw. She went to the linen closet and got out a brown sheet. Then right before me eyes she put the sheet on THE FORBIDDEN CHAIR! I couldn't believe my eyes.

And after that she patted the chair and said "It's OK Cinnamon!" I climbed up onto the chair in utter disbelief. I was going to get to luxuriate in the chair all evening! I could stay in the "sunbeam room."

Here I am in the forbidden chair with a look of utter disbelief on my face.
I even have one of my favorite toys with me. It's what's left of the toy Chaser, the Border Collie sent to me!

I never know what happens in church but it must be something really good. BECAUSE I AM BEING TREATED REALLY, REALLY GOOD TONIGHT!

Love, Cinnamon (Oh yes, Happy Easter!)

Puppy Play Day at the Dog Park

Here I am romping at my favorite dog park.

I went to my favorite dog park, the one in Brush Prairie. The dandelions had grown more bright yellow flowers after the recent mowing and the day was ripe for sniffing and eating grass. When I arrived I saw quite a few dogs near the entrance. Some of them were playing. But I planned to ignore them and do my introvert thing... sniffing and eating grass.

I did pretty well but a chocolate lab puppy and a young black dog were determined to get me to play. I ignored them for the most part until we got to... THE PUPPY PLAYGROUND!

The Clark DogPaw people call it an Agility Course, but I've always thought it was a playground. Mostly I jump up on the triangle shaped platform and survey the land. But something was different today. The puppies I met were having a great time at the playground.

As I rounded the corner I decided to join them. And everyone encouraged me, Cinnamon, to re-live my puppy-hood. I started by showing them how to go into the plastic pipe and come out the other end. We ran in and out, the three of us playing hide and seek. Then my owner invited me to "jump up" on that platform and I did. The puppies hid underneath thinking I couldn't see them.

I had so much fun, I forgot I was a middle-aged dog. I started running through the other plastic pipe and up the platform and romped with the puppies.

Everyone was impressed with how agile I was (and I still say this is NOT an Agility Course). I had a great time even though I was getting tired.

I stopped sniffing and eating grass and started running and romping. Those puppies were a great influence on me. I hope I see them again.

I LOVE PUPPIES!
