Our Taffy is not a huge fan of the 4th of July holiday. Or New Year’s Eve, for that matter. Why?
Fireworks. Her HATES them.
See this?
This is Taffy LAST 4th of July. Wedged between my feet and the kitchen cabinet. Terrified of all the loud noises. Hoping and praying I wasn’t planning on leaving her.
Did you know that more dogs run away on the 4th of July than any other day of the year? Some run away during parties or festivals, while others bolt at the sound of fireworks.
Did you know that this week, May 1 through May 7, is National Pet Week?
Created in 1981 by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Auxiliary to the AVMA, National Pet Week is dedicated to celebrating America’s more than 200 million pets that enrich our lives each and every day and encourage responsible pet care every day of the year – no matter if you’re celebrating a dog, a cat, a hamster or a tank full of platy fish!
Of course, around our house, the pets in question are CoCo the Black Kitty and Taffy the White Doggie!
And that’s about as close as they get to one another. Most of the time, it’s a peaceful co-existence. But sometimes there’s a bit of refereeing that needs to be done. Just one of the duties of a pet parent, right?
Bil-Jac understands pets (dogs, specifically) more than anyone else, I think. To this day, Taffy the White Doggie must sit and watch me open a package to make sure it doesn’t contain a bag of food or treats for her from the good folks who work there! And if it IS something from Bil-Jac? There is much doggie rejoicing, for sure!
**PLEASE NOTE: While Bil-Jac’s Farmer’s Bounty DID provide me with this product to review at no cost, I was not in any way paid for my review. The following opinion is hereby my own.**
Most of the time, when a box arrives at our home, it’s for one of the humans in residence. Even so, Taffy the white doggy and CoCo the black kitty are always enthralled. Taffy, because anything crinkly makes her immediately think of food, and CoCo, because she wants to try to shove herself into the box.
Well, Taffy happened to be in luck here recently – one of the packages was just for her!
If you’re like us, your pets are part of your family. That’s one of the reasons why I LOVE Bil-Jac – they make sure the food that you give your furry family members has been created with just as much care (and way less nasty additives) as the healthy food you put in your human body! And since February IS “Love Your Pet” Month (did you know that?!) there’s no better time than now to make sure their insides are well taken-care of.
The key ingredients of Bil-Jac’s grain-free dog treats are chicken, chicken liver and sweet potato. Now, I don’t think I’ve ever offered Taffy chicken liver, but she LOVES regular chicken, and she begs for sweet potato (baked or straight out of the can!) so I had an idea that she was probably gonna like these quite a bit. Check her out in the video below! Plus,
I love this first pic of her because she’s so happy, but I love this second pic of her, too…just because she’s a very pretty dog, to be perfectly honest!
It dawned on me the other day that I haven’t introduced everyone to the newest member of our family! And then I started thinking…have I introduced any of the rest of the family, so everyone can put names and faces together? Oh boy. I haven’t! So, here we go…
Well, obviously, that’s me there, holding the cat. Hey, y’all! If you want to know more about me, just CLICK HERE, and we’ll leave it at that!
