Forgetful Mom Equals Twice the Fun!

Okay, I'm a bad doggie Mom.   When their December BarkBox came in the mail, I set it aside and forgot about it...  Until, the January one came.

The boys aren't complaining - it just means twice the fun for them!

I can't wait!

 The boys didn't mind that I was late.  It was Christmas in January.

January on the left, December on the right....

First up out of the box were the toys!  These are Monty's favorite every time.

Monty stole the Jax and Bones when I wasn't looking.  ...and the Simply Fido, now that I think of it...

Next comes the treats....  Sam has a special interest in these.

Superior Farms Pet Provisions and Bocce's Bakery

Yumzies Treats by Nootie.  We find these make the best reward for photo shoots.

We were especially excited by this next surprise!

A spiral bully stick and Red Velvet Puppy Cake!  Just what we needed!

Someone special has a Gotcha Day coming up.  Plus, our 5th Bloggiversary is coming up!

It be 3 years with these people.

...and of course, there is always something useful....

That's not for us, right Mom?

Thank you, BarkBox, for another exciting box!  (or two!)...


 

November BarkBox!

Our November BarkBox has arrived!

I've learned about letting the boys help me open it. Both boys have gotten really good at diving in, stealing something and taking off before I get a photo.  I decided I'd open this one on the pool table...

So what did we get?

An Acadia Antler Rope Toy....

A Bionic toy - we've got this in the freezer!  We can't wait to treat out boys.

Lots of coupons...

Fruitable Skinny Minis - the perfect size to treat our boys!  (They smell delicious!)

...and a Cool Treats Smoothie!

I decided to give the antler toy to Monty.  Right now he does not trust what I give him, since I slipped him an apple yesterday.  He is convinced I tried to poison him.  Let's just say he isn't snatching anything out of my hands right now...

This might be a trap....

October Bark Box

Our October Bark Box has arrived!

Hurry up, Mom!

 Monty grabbed the first thing he saw and ran...

A ball?  MINE!

 We got a lot of really neat things in this months box!

Poop Packs - we can always use these!

Tropiclean Clean Teeth Gel:

Let me hide this....

A Moody Pet Humunga Stache:

Mine!  I bet I can stand in the treat line twice with this disguise!

Feelgood Turkeyk Trail Blazin' Bitz:

The boys absolutely love these!

Lollycadoodle toy made from 100% wool from Nepal:

This is the toy Monty stole....

Another great Bark Box!  We love them!

On a side note:  While our boys are not huge chewers, the mustache and the ball did not last long.  I would advise keeping an eye on your pups when they play with these toys.

September's BarkBox has arrived!

Guess what arrived?  Our September BarkBox!

Sam couldn't wait to get it open...

I love how excited our boys get when they realize this is their box!

What's in here?

Our first item - WAG Bath Wipes for Dogs!  We've been wanting to try these.

Sam saw something he wanted - a Barkworthies Pretzel!

Mine!

He didn't stay for the rest of the box, so Monty and I continued on.

We got a Zeke's Dental Chew...

Whole Life Sweet Potato Treats...

Whole Life Freeze Dried Pure Fresh Chicken...

...and a Crinkits!

Monty loves his Crinkit's.  I am now a master at getting the bottle inside - a little dish soap and you need to twist the bottle in.  It took a while but we have it figured out!

If you are interested in a BarkBox, head on over and sign up!  Please let them know we referred you - use referral code RrO6nwxTZB and you will $5 off your order of Barkboxes (and we will receive on month free). 

August's Bark Box has arrived!

Our Bark Box has arrived!  This is now the third one we have received, and I think our boys are really starting to understand this box is just for them. 

Come on, Mom!  Can we please open it?

This month's box was full of interesting surprises!  We had our usual treats...

The Elvis - Banana & Peanut Butter Turkey Bacon treats...

Milk-Bone Trail Mix

...and an antler!  Sam pulled the label off so quickly, I'm not sure where it came from!

Sam enjoying the antler - if you look closely, he has a little bit of the blue packing paper in the corner of his mouth.

What's this?

Monty was excited by this months toy - a pink Flying Pig!

This one is mine!

We are so happy with our Bark Box's!  We enjoy having them come in the mail and opening them with the boys is so much fun!

An injury, a Bark Box, and freshly washed stuffies

This past week has been very quiet for us - I've managed to break a few bones in my foot (my horse stepped on me) so any plans I had were scrapped for bed rest.  Our boys have spent much of their time sleeping and waiting for anything to happen....

The highlight of the week has been the arrival of our second Bark Box!  The boys love the arrival of this box, and I think I enjoy opening it as much as they do!

Waiting for the box to be opened....

Our first surprise was a bottle of bubbles!  Monty absolutely loved these - and we will post some pictures of him leaping to catch them soon!

Bubbles!

 Second was a very cleverly packaged steak toy - which Monty claimed as his immediately!

BOL - he tried to lick it thru the package!

A boy and his squeaky steak...

Next out was this Spinz chewy - as with all things edible, Sam claimed this one as his...

Let... go... Mom...

A pack of Yumzies treats....

These are mine too!

 ...and lastly, a roll of poop bags (always appreciated!)....

I think the boys were quite happy with their box!

Poor Monty had a bad moment too this weekend when I decided that it was stuffy washing day.  To him, this is the absolutely worst thing that could happen to him, even though we have always given them all back to him.  Here he is posing happily with his freshly washed stuffies. 

They're back!

 ...but, he made sure I knew I wasn't allowed to touch them anymore...

Bad Mom!

Our BarkBox arrived!

Recently, I signed the boys up to start receiving BarkBox's - which come highly recommended by several other bloggers!  What is a BarkBox?  A BarkBox is a package you receive once a month full of doggy goodies - you never know what you will receive which adds to the fun!

The boys were intrigued!

So what did our BarkBox contain?

One Stella and Chewy's Freeze-Dried Dinner, which Monty loved!

A package of Double Nut Super Boost (which Mom was tempted to try - they smell good!)

A Gimme Gummy toy - Monty claimed this before we got it out of the package.

A coupon for Stella and Chewy's and this summer information card.

A doggy smoothie - Sam loved it!

...and a Soggy Paws Super Absorbent Towel....

...which Sam immediately tried to hide - we've mentioned the four letter B word around him a few times this week.

We absolutely loved our first box and can't wait for the next one to come!  We got a nice mix of toys, treats, and a very useful (Sam would disagree) grooming tool!  We highly recommend Barkbox's!
