Spotted: The Bear & The Rat, Cool Treat for Dogs

The Bear & The Rat, Cool Treats for Dogs is a cool business owned by a husband & wife duo in the Rocky Mountains. They make frozen treats for dogs!

Here's the story: When Matt was a kid, his parents took the kids and the family dog to the scoop shop every week. Babette, their beloved Poodle, would get a scoop of vanilla but it often made her sick! But the experience was really fun; he tried to find a frozen treat that would benefit the family dog…and was stumped. So Matt started experimenting until cool treats for dogs were born! The Bear & The Rat’s wholesome, cool treats for dogs are designed to benefit a dog’s digestion. So your pup can partake in one of life’s greatest pleasures and celebrate with their family!

But who are the bear & the rat? The Bear is a Lhasa Apso who growls like a bear. His brother from another mother is a Rat Terrier. Their frozen yogurt treats are probiotic, simple, made in Colorado and all natural (with organic ingredients). They're FUN for your Best Friend with Fur!

Boy do I have a great gift idea for the dog and cat lover in your life!

Allia Zobel Nolan is a brilliant author whose writing oozes wit, humor, and love at every turn. If you ever wondered what that sly little pooch of yours is thinking check out Dog Confessions: Shocking Tales Straight from the Doghouse.  Nolan has listened to these naughty doggies' confessions and shares them with pet enthusiasts everywhere.  I just loved the funny and telling photos of these sneaky pups. 

This picture and saying reminds me of Charlie and while Charlie isn't a chihuahua he does resemble this little bugger.  Charlie, who still hates to poo outside in the winter time and time and time again I find little hidden treasures just for me, I am sure thinks "I don't need no stinkin' training. I can break the house myself" on a regular basis.

For those cat lovers who know their kitty is by far superior to its drooling nemisis I know you will enjoy I'd Rather Be a Cat: The Official "Better Than Dogs" Cat Book.

 

This book tackles the question “Which are better, cats or dogs?” and delivers the purr-fect answer—with coy sentences and adorable photos.  These sweet cat faces will melt your heart and turn even the most skeptical cat lover into a feline frenzy. 

 

You can find Nolan on Facebook and Twitter. Please visit her website alliawrites.com

But if Charlie and I had to choose we would give our paws up that dogs are better than cats.

Which would you choose the adorable, drooling pooch or the purring princess kitty?

Weekend Wag: Portlandia & Other Goodies

Happy Friday friends. I hope everyone has fun plans for today and this upcoming weekend.  Currently I am lounging in my PJ's in my family room and staring out the window watching snow fall at a sharp diagonal and almost horizontal angle.   I hope this won't continue all day.

CP (Charlie Pants) and I are going to meet up with a friend at good ol' Starbucks in a little bit and then head over to the gym to do a little Body Pump.  I took CP to the gym yesterday and he was really great while I took a class until the very end when we were doing crunches and stretching. He got up and decided it was the perfect opportunity to lick my and nearby neighbors'  faces.  It was quite comical.  Thank goodness everyone loves him or else his stinky breath could have been detrimental to their endorphin educing experience.

Please don't forget to click this button to follow our story.

 can you see his face poking out from under the blanket?

 Crap Iphone picture. He crawled into my lap while stretching. Can you spot him curled up between my legs?

Anyways, we wanted to share some lovelies from around the web for you to enjoy while you are at work or at home.

Curious to know some tips on ways to talk to someone in a wheelchair?  Check this inspirational story posted yesterday on attitude.
