It's Pip

Mom was shopping at TJ Maxx yesterday and she came home with a pressie for me~
You remember Pip, right!

I'm going to name my new stuffie Pip!  He has lots of squeakers in him and he's BIG!

 We just love his red bow tie!

You know how to play ball, right, Pip!

In case anyone wants to know, he is made by Zippy Paws and he's called a squeakie pup!    The squeakie pups are available in a few other dog breeds.  

Love ya lots♥

Molly Monday

Mackie is back at home with dad so I have mom all to myself once again!

 This was the last picture of Miss Heather's house that we saw~ 
It's just amazing how fast a building can go up when you have a lot of skilled hands and believe it or not - everyone has a great time! 

 And do we think Miss Heather is happy with the progress of her new home☺

Love ya lots♥

 The progress the NTF'er's make is amazing!

Happy Saturday, everybody!

Flower Friday

We are joining Rosy and Arty for Flower Friday~

Mackie is helping me search for pretty flowers this week.  She didn't bring any treats, Mackie, so stop worshiping her!

 We have seen this wildflower all summer.   It starts out tubular and eventually, the tube bursts into fluff.   We had no idea what it was so mom asked her very knowledgeable herb friend, Miss Jan, and she said that it was Lactuca Virosa, which seems to be in the wild lettuce family.  

 Mom treated herself to a checkered pumpkin~

 And we found Holly with berries in our back yard~

 The sunflowers aren't smiling any longer.   They have dropped their heads.   We do see a lot of birds darting in and out, especially goldfinches.  They are the sweetest and prettiest little birdies!

Thanks for walking along with us☺

Love ya lots♥

Wanna Play

Don't you want to play tennis ball with me, Mackie?

 Maybe I need to steal your furbaby away from you!

 You are not being any fun, Mackie!

Tasty Tuesday

We are making Madi's soup for dinner tonight~

Mom had a wee bit of celery that she needed to use up.   Celery is not in Madi's recipe but we did add it.
You remember liking celery, right, Mackie?    It's good stuffs!  Eat it!
He did take it and he ran into the living room with it so that I wouldn't steal it from him☺

 You remember how good spinach is, right, Mackie?

 Yes, you sure do!

 Mom can't wait for dinner time tonight.   She LOVES Madi's soup!

Mackie's dad is leading a barn raising in Maine this week.   The actual raising isn't until Thursday but some of the crew has already arrived and they are working on putting bents together.   The barn will be 28' wide x 50' long with a 10' basement.

 Mackie's dad has a special needs duck that he couldn't leave at home so this ducky and his bestest buddy, who is also a ducky, are at the barn raising!

Love ya lots♥

Mackie Monday

My dad told me that I would have lots of fun on my vacation with Molly.    He never mentioned the word "bath".

 Don't worry, Mackie.    Mom always gives me a cookie after my bath.   Let's sit pretty for our cookies!

Love ya lots♥

Dr Lyons Skin and Coat

We received Dr Lyons Skin and Coat supplement along with the Liver Support supplement from Chewy a couple of weeks ago to use and review.
We did our review on the Liver Support a couple of weeks ago.   Mom has not noticed anything earth shattering about my health or my skin or my poo.   I do not have liver issues so if I did, this could be a different story.  

 Awhile back, we told you about my less-than perfect paws aka hairy dog feets.   I did see my vet and he prescribed the Vetoquinol Care, which mom has been giving me until Chewy sent us the Dr Lyons Skin and Coat Support supplement.  

 As you can see, my feets pretty much still look the same.   Mom applies coconut oil daily.  We find that the coconut oil works best for me.   This condition will not get better.  It sounds like I will have the Hyperkeratosis for the rest of my life. 

So mom started me on Dr Lyons Skin and Coat supplement several days ago~

**Help support your dog’s skin and coat health with Dr. Lyon’s Skin & Coat Support Soft Chews. Guided by science and inspired by nature, they’re formulated with key nutrients chosen for their coat-enhancing properties including salmon oil, which is rich in omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids as well as EPA and DHA. This targeted blend of omegas helps maintain healthy skin and a lustrous coat, as well as promote normal shedding levels for dogs of all sizes and coat types. Plus, these soft chews are naturally flavored with cheese and liver so they’re a delicious treat you can give daily for skin and coat health maintenance.
Key Benefits

• Formulated with salmon oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, plus omega-6 and 9 fatty acids to help support skin and coat health.
• Balanced blend of omegas is formulated to help maintain healthy skin and a lustrous coat, plus normal shedding levels in dogs of all coat types.
• Naturally flavored with cheese and liver for a supplement dogs find rewarding; give them daily for skin and coat support.
• Soft and chewy so they’re easy to give just like you would any treat, according to your dog’s age and weight.
• Comes in a convenient container with an easy-to-open lid to preserve maximum freshness.**

Unfortunately, salmon oil and me do not get along well together.  My belly broke out in pink spots and I got itchy very quickly.    Mom stopped the supplement immediately and we are back to what my vet recommended.    My tummy is back to what it was before the flare-up and this is a good thing.    Mackie will be visiting us in a couple of weeks so we can see how the supplement works for him.
We want to thank Miss Natalie and Miss Kirsten and the Chewy team for letting us try out and review these supplements.    We wish that the Skin and Coat supplement would have worked out for me.  Salmon oil is a wonderful thing - just not for me.

Geez, mom.  You could have chosen a pic that didn't make my butt look so big!

Ready, mom.   Off we go~~

 We discovered Joe Pye Weed in front of our neighbors house~

 And we found wild Asters~

 And happy Black-eyed Susans~

 We are not sure what this is.  Could it be in the Primrose family?

 We found a Clematis still blooming away☺

 We think this is called Sweet Autumn Clematis.

 We found these beauties near somebuddys mailbox~

 Bunny alert!

 Happy Friday, everyone!
