Every now and then I feel as though I need to take my fluffball friend to the store and basically go on a shopping spree for her. Of course she has very little say in what it is that we purchase and since almost everything is wrapped in plastic she gets excited about literally anything that is inside of it. It could a bag of cyanide capsules and she would lose her mind trying to get inside of it.
I had been feeling a little bad about the absence of treats around my house but there is a reason why that was the case. Nadi recently had surgery and we had to be very careful about what she was eating lest the foodstuffs aggravate her throat, where the surgery took place. For a month we were on wet dog food and some soft cheese for treats.
After a visit to the vet we were told that she is totally healed and can go back to normal, but careful, consumption. She certainly wont be getting more chicken bones ever again.
First off we have these milky-chicken chew sticks which we just call "chewy chews." This is one of Nadi's favorite things and she hasn't had access to them for a month. She was just delighted to head to her corner eatin' mat and work away on this thing for 20 minutes or so. She wants to swallow it whole but she just cant. Her desire to shove anything down her gullet as fast as possible is the reason why we do not have rawhide chews because on two occasions in here life I have had to get out a needle-nose plyers to remove the obstruction from her throat. She's cute, but she's an idiot.
Next up we have a very cute picture but unfortunately a toy that she is borderline afraid of. I only bought it because it is a miniature version of an award for our bowling league called the "gobbler" that is passed to anyone that gets 3 strikes in a row. It makes a sound like a chicken instead of the usual "peep peep" that most dog squeak toys make and I think that kind of scares here. I'm trying to work on her but I don't think that this toy is going to ever be popular.
Lastly we have something that Nadi is a little less than enthusiastic about. Nadi has never fought me when it comes to baths but just like most dogs, she would rather never have one. Thankfully she is so small that baths don't take very long and she is normally very excited about the rubs and treats she is going to get after it is all done.
I bought this particular shampoo because it smelled pretty good and like fruit and it was also the cheapest one they had. I will admit that the fact that shampoo was misspelled was also a factor.
Now here's a thing about dog shampoos. I feel the same way about them as I do human shampoos. I think the various price points on dog shampoos are simply a reflection of that company's advertising budget and that the contents are probably very similar no matter which one you choose. It's friggin' soap guys. How different can it possibly be?
So now Nadi is a happy camper and doing her usual of moving around the condo going from doggy bed to doggy bed with brief moments of suddenly freaking out on a chew toy or rope. I envy her sometimes.
