Oskar and Alicia!

Yummy Bacon Beef Burgers

Because Oskar is allergic to Peanut Butter (so sad!), we got Oskar some Bacon Beef Daisy Burgers. It's funny because Espresso and mom, Lindsay had mentioned in their comment how much they love In and Out Burger and I love In and Out! Unfortunately, dogs don't get to really eat burgers, which is why we thought the Daisy Burgers would be the perfect treat for Oskar. Oh, and he gets to keep the squeaky hamburger toy too!


Oskar and Alicia, please email us your mailing address: nina@doxiementary.com

Yes, I have even dedicated an entire post to my love of In and Out.

Franny Delights Over...

I want to tell you about my favorite treats! I found these at a local pet boutique and ever since I gave them a try, they have become my absolute favorite! I know that may not be saying much since I will eat just about anything...

FYI: This product review is from my pure, honest-to-Dog love for these treats. There is no incentive other than spreading the word of Daisy's Delights' tasty goodness.

My favorite cookies from the Daisy's Delights line: peanut butter polkadots

Even Margot drools over these babies.

Hypnotized by a cookie... Anything for a cookie. Anything!

Is this making you hungry?
Craving a cookie?

Well, we want to share this delicious treat with you because...

1. They are that good! (in my opinion)

2. They are not readily available online and I'm not sure where exactly you can find them where you live.

You can visit their website for more info: Daisy's Delights

Leave a comment telling us about your favorite treat!

We will use this doohickey to pick a winner on Wednesday, September 7th.


♥,
Franny

Drumroll, please...

And the Green Doxie Award goes to...

trickponies & Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund wears an eco-friendly collar made from a re purposed grain sack (www.handmadegreen.com). He recycles all of his dog food cans, and uses biodegradable bags to pick up his "mess". Ammo's dog bed duvet cover is from mollymutt.com and its stuffed with old blankets and clothes that are past their prime.

He also works in my custom framing shop daily, where he helps me donate all of our matboard scraps to local elementary schools for art projects. We also REUSE or RECYCLE almost everything. From cardboard boxes, packing peanuts, kraft paper, etc. We also always save customer's old picture frames to be spray painted and made into cork boards. We even save tomato sauce jars to store screws and nails in at the shop. And Ammo made sure we sell the book "Eco Dog" (about how your dog can be eco) in our shop!

Good Luck to everyone on being Eco-friendly with your dogs!! There is a lot we can do!


Please email your shipping address to nina@doxiementary.com to claim your prize!

It was a tie between trickponies and hernewdeal. So our Green friend, Scott had to toss a coin to decide the winner. Thank you, hernewdeal for being so green!

Any little eco-friendly thing you do is a big step towards a greener future. We just want to thank everyone for participating and for thinking and being green!

ANSWERS:

A. I am from a Puppy Mill.
[True - Nina adopted me from someone who had bought me from a pet store who had purchased me from a puppy mill, so yes, I am from a puppy mill.]

B. I hate getting my feet dirty.
[True - I hate walking in anything wet or muddy. I will refuse to go potty outside unless the weather is nice and the grass is not wet.]

C. I have a tattoo on my belly.
[True - When I was spayed, they tattooed my belly as a marker that I had been spayed.]

D. I am a picky eater.
[True - I have gone through many different kinds of dog food because I hated the taste. Now I'm happily eating Wellness.]

E. I know how to roll over.
[False - I know how to play dead, sit, shake, and a few other tricks but I don't know how to roll over. I won't do it!]

F. I don't like to chase cats.
[True - I'm afraid of cats. They chase me!]

G. I am a bird murderer.
[True - Guilty as charged.]

H. I try to bite people's noses if they resist a kiss.
[True - I nip people's noses if they don't let me kiss them. I'm trying to give them love, so it makes me mad when they pull away.]

I. People think I'm a boy even though I wear pink.
[True - I must look manly...]

J. I was named after a character from a book.
[True - I was named after the character Franny from Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger.

True or False?

It has been raining quite heavily in the Bay Area these past few weeks and I think I have cabin fever. I'm so excited for the rain to stop so that I can run around and dig for gophers again. The only thing I hate about warm weather and being outside are fleas and ticks. Those suckers (literally) are the worst! So I thought I'd help everyone prepare for spring by giving away a three month supply of Frontline Plus. What's Frontline Plus, you ask? It's that stuff you squirt on your back to keep fleas and ticks away when you play.

So let's play True or False?

All you have to do is pick out which fact is false from the ten facts below. The first person to comment with the right answer will win some Frontline Plus and a few other goodies. It's made for dogs under 22lbs so I hope you weigh less than that!

(The winner will have the option of Frontline Plus for Cats or Frontline Plus for Dogs Under 22lbs)
