BARKSTERS™ Krisps Cause Near Amputation
The dogs just received a free care package filled with BARKSTERS™ Krisps Dog Treats. Loving Pets sent them, asking for our honest opinion. We certainly give opinions freely and honestly around here, so I’d say they came to the right place.
These air-puffed treats pack a satisfying crunch, which sounded hysterical as my monsters devoured them. They are oily to the touch, mind you, like yesterday’s onion rings dinner (for me). That’s due to the Rice Bran oil. It’s “rich in antioxidants which reportedly improve cellular health and support the immune system.” That’s what the box says.
I didn’t taste BARKSTERS™ Krisps myself, but I captured my dogs’ honest opinion as they did. We all know dogs don’t feign enjoyment. These are some of the images I shot as my fingers got chomped. (If you want to see my digits being devoured, sorry to disappoint. The pain made it difficult to aim and shoot.)
Our Favorite Dog Word: “Fudge!”
Remember this scene from A Christmas Story? Young Ralphie and his father bonding over a flat tire at the curb, the hub cap full of bolts sent soaring deep into the dark, Ralphie yelling “Fuuuuuudge!” … narrating the amendment, “Only I didn’t say fudge.”
My husband and I have had those “Fuuuuuudge!” moments with our dogs, especially when our Newfoundland, Shamus, and his sidekick hound, Emmett, eat “treats” that they shouldn’t.
We’ve actually had this conversation, word for word:
TIM (yelling from dog yard through window): You missing a yellow scrunchy?
KIM: Maybe. Why?
TIM (observing shovel of shit): Want it back?
And there it is. My first thought. “Fuuuuuudge!”

Dieting with my Dog: Book Trailer Shoot
Peggy Frezon, author of Dieting with my Dog: One Busy Life, Two Full Figures…and Unconditional Love (Hubble & Hattie), invited Shamus, Emmett and a slew of other dogs to be filmed for her book trailer this weekend. Dogs were asked to sit on or near the same scale that appears on the book’s cover. And let me tell you, that’s easier said than done.
Under direction of the author herself, with just 4 dogs in the room at this particular filming session, Lucy wouldn’t stay, Jester sat with his back to the camera, Shamus wouldn’t lay down, and Emmett crawled inch by inch after treats. Ironically, I’m fairly certain our dogs gained ten pounds from plenty of said treats, used as bribery for a good pose. And there were plenty of good poses too. Mostly, there was laughter.
All in all, this was a terrific time and unbelievably entertaining. Although we humans imposed a bit of performance anxiety, our dogs were natural superstars. See for yourself!
Dieting with my Dog: One Busy Life, Two Full Figures…and Unconditional Love (Hubble & Hattie) by Peggy Frezon is available for pre-order on Amazon.com (affiliate link) and will be released September 2011.
