It's a Labor Day Weekend Two'fer

   We hope that everyone is planning a great Labor Day weekend here in the U.S.A. It is the last hurrah of summer and we can’t wait for the first crisp day of autumn. Of course, this weekend means two things to Bentley & Pierre…

Squirrel Season

Our local squirrels are busy running up and down the trees this time of year and Pierre is busy “terrier~izing” them. They are certain this new Bayou Boys Super Duper Squirrel Stand is the answer to ridding the yard of those pesky varmints.

Treat Your Best Friend to Wellness

Barking from the Bayou, LLC was given the Wellness® treats featured below in exchange for an honest review. We only share products and services that we believe will benefit our audience. All opinions are our own and Wellness is not responsible for the contents of this article.

Bentley: “We have some super exciting news to share with you! Our friends at Wellness® have a new line of delicious grain-free treats. They gave us some to try at a special breakfast during the BlogPaws conference. OMD! These babies are delicious.”

Pierre: “You aren’t just whistling Dixie, Bentley. The Wellness Core® Marrow Roasts will have any dog drooling. They are all-natural, packed with protein treats made with REAL marrow. They are crunchy but not a hard crunch.

Me: “The resealable bag keeps them fresh and makes it a snap to carry on a road trip. You can buy them at your favorite pet store in Basted Beef or Roasted Turkey. Of course, since they only cost $5.99 for an 8 oz. bag, you might as well pick up both.”

Loving Olympia

We visited our daughter and son-in-law last week in Washington. It was easy to fall in love with the beauty and awesome temperatures in the Pacific Northwest. We enjoyed a trip through Olympia Farmer’s Market and a walk along the Port of Olympia. You can see the state capitol in the background. It was truly an incredible trip.

5 Beauty Routines That Have Gone To The Dogs

   I cannot remember a time when I didn’t talk to my dogs and imagine them as humans trapped in dog’s body. It seems that they know more than they let on and it is some kind of universal canine joke on humans. Anthropomorphizing your pet can also make life a lot of fun. While we enjoy imagining Bentley and Pierre doing things considered strictly human, there are many things we actually do the same. That shouldn't be a surprise considering we share 84% of our DNA.

Here are 5 beauty routines I share my dogs:

1.  We all use the same shower. 

*Not at the same time, that'd be weird.

5 Reasons to Give Your Dog Dr. Harvey's Multi-Vitamin & Mineral

   It is important that our dogs are receiving the necessary vitamins and minerals in their daily diet. I feed Bentley and Pierre top-quality Dr. Harvey’s Canine Health, Veg-to-Bowl, and Oracle so I know they are getting terrific food. Personally, I try to eat right too, but I still take a multi-vitamin every day. It makes me feel better and I believe keeps me from catching colds or other illnesses. Why wouldn’t I want the same benefits for my boys?

The Truly Grand Grand Canyon

   We took the boys to see the Grand Canyon on our way home from the BlogPaws conference. It truly is a grand sight to see and leaves little doubt as to why it is one of the Wonders of the World. Enjoy these photos from our visit.

Barking from the Bayou, LLC received a box of Kaleb's Organic Dog Treats in exchange for an honest review. We only share products/services that we use and feel would benefit our readers. Kaleb's is not responsible for the contents of this article.

   We always strive to feed Bentley and Pierre healthy treats. That’s why when I heard about Kaleb’s Organic Dog Treats, I was excited to try them. They are baked with 100% USDA certified organic ingredients and non-GMO project verified. Kaleb’s Vermont bakery makes these treats in small batches to ensure the best quality. They use all natural ingredients but no wheat, corn or soy.
