I admit that I spoil my dogs.  Deservedly so!  They make every day brighter by giving me so many reasons to laugh and endless cuddles. I don’t have children, however, I am blessed with two nephews, and three nieces – one, is baby powder new.  Sadly, they don’t live nearby.  I have fun coming up with cute outfits and fun games to send the kids, and although most of them are too young to contact us themselves, moms and dads reach out via skype for that visual/auditory connection. It has become a tradition, for me to spend Christmas eve. stitching up Henry and Reese’s ‘well-loved’ toys.  They don’t mind.  In fact, they love seeing these recycled play things; some minus arms, legs, and quite likely without squeakers, post- surgery.  I’m sure they remember their old favourites. I wasn’t very organized this year, and only managed to stitch up a few.  I was thrilled when Lilli from PetBox contacted me and asked if I would like to review their product.  PetBox is the perfect gift box for pets. The PetBox arrived on a day that my husband and I had both been working.  We have a dog walker visit, however, Henry and Reese still have so much energy after lounging around most of the day.  I came in and dumped my bags and keys.  Before even taking my coat off I teased the pups by showing them the box and announcing ‘toys and treats’.  They danced around, tails wagging, barking loudly as if telling me to hurry up and take my coat and boots off.

I’ll do whatever it takes for this cookie.

PetBox is a monthly delivery service that introduces fun and healthy new pet products to its members each month.  You can personalize your subscription by selecting items to pack in your  PetBox each month.  Products that make sense for your furry family.  There are several items that won’t aggravate allergies.  Henry quite happily gobbled up the ‘Smooches’, a wheat-free cookie made by The Honest Kitchen.  Reese is very fussy when it comes to treats but is a fan of the little pumpkin, ginger flavor ‘Barkers’ by Healthy Dogma.  These adorable bone shaped bites are the perfect size for her.  No food aggression issues with these treats (that is a treat for me). The PetBox pet experts scour the planet looking for only the best products to offer its members. You won’t find thousands of products to choose from, rather only products that make your furry friend’s life more healthy and enjoyable. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dogs-cease-unhealthy-relationships-mailmen-233900982.html;_ylt=A2KJ3CaxVY5SYgcAPf7QtDMD
