Tasty Tuesday: Back 2 School
It is that time of the year again when we dust off our backpacks, sport our new outfit and pack those lunches. When it comes to packing a lunch, you need to pack an exciting, brag worthy, and most of all the most delicious lunch around!
My brag worthy lunch concise of water, a banana, an apple, and Smart Cookee PB’N Jelly Treats.
These Smart Cookees are not only smell good, they taste even better! Bring these treats to school will definitely make me the talk of the halls.
Check out all of Smart Cookees treats and learn more about them by checking them out at their Website, Facebook, and Twitter
Also, Happy National Dog Day to all my pals!

Warm Bucket Challenge
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is sweeping the nation. So I decided to join in on the fun and do “The Warm Bucket Challenge.”
Please note, the day that I did this the temperature outside was in the 90’s and the water that was used was room temp. My mom knows me well enough to know what I can tolerate. If your dog doesn’t like water or being in this situation, do not subject them to this.
Have you done the ALS Challenge? What are your thoughts about it?
Fit Friday at a New Dog Park with New Fur-iends on a Perfect Day
Since meeting Emma, the star of My GBGV Life, and her mom at the Minnesota Pet Expo we have kept in touch. After looking at our schedules over and over again, we finally set a play date at a dog park I have never been too. The best part of this dog park, it has a swimming area. I have never gone “real” swimming before, but was excited to try.
The day was finally here, my bag was packed and I was dragging mom out the door. Not only was I going to be hanging out with Emma, but here sister Bailie was going to be there too!
Finally, we made it! Do you know how hard it was to get a picture of all three of us? We are all we behaved dogs, but why would we sit still when we are able to run free and play. I’m just glad my mom was able to get a good one.
As we were heading down the trail I saw the big pond. There was no holding me back, I dove in that water as fast as I could. Then, I found a tennis ball and the rest was history.
I wasn’t the only one having fun in the water! I love this picture of Emma, it looks like she is blowing bubbles!
Then, Bailie found a ball and wanted it so bad. She was cute jumping up and down trying to get it.
There were lots of other dogs there that we also played with.
After we were done swimming, we continued on our walk. This was the perfect time to dry off.
Our moms had a great time chatting. Which was great, the longer they chatted, the longer we played!
I was sad to see our play date come to an end, but can’t wait until the next one. I played so hard I could hardly keep my eyes open on the way home. What more could a dog ask for, we went for a nice long walk while playing and going for a nice, cool, refreshing swim.

State Fair for the Dogs
It’s that time of the year again when people dust off their walking shoes, lather up on the sunscreen and head to the Minnesota State Fair. Also known as, “The Great Get Together.” It is here where you will find people walking around with everything you could think of on a stick.
Did you know that in 1901, vice president Theodore Roosevelt first spoke that the US should “speak softly and carry a big stick” at the Minnesota State Fair.
Even a vice president talked about a stick.
Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed to attend this “Great Get Together.” However, I decided to have my own state fair at my house. With the help of my mom, who has thumbs, we created out own, dog friendly, state fair on a stick.
As great as this idea was, I need you to understand how painful it was to sit there with all my favorite things on a stick and take pictures. I mean, do we really need 50 pictures, I just want to start the taste test already!
Here you have it fokes, we have:
*Toy on a Stick
*Stick on a Stick
*Frozen Yogurt on a Stick
*Frozen Applesauce on a Stick
*A Stuffed Kong on a Stick
*Carrots on a Stick
*A Ball on a Stick
*Apple on a Stick
*Banana on a Stick
*Treats on a Stick
*Beggin Strips aka Dog Bacon on a Stick
*Poop Bags on a Stick
*Water on a Stick

Goldzilla
Everyday around 11 am my humans get present in this thing called a mailbox. But, today, I received an awesome postcard reminding me that the Goldzilla event is coming up soon.
Goldzilla is RAGOM’s (Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota, the company that rescued my mom from a puppy mill) annul fundraising event. I am so excited to finally be able to attend this fun, furry event.
My goal is to raise $250.00 for the Goldzilla. Right now, with the help of many, we have raised $130.00! If you would like to donate to this organization that rescues Golden and Golden Mixes from Minnesota and the surrounding states please click HERE.
Tasty Tuesday: Nature’s Recipe Dog Food and Treats
A couple of weeks ago I participated in #BlogPawsChat on Twitter and won a coupon for free bag Nature’s Recipe Dog Food and a bag of their Dog Treats.
On thing I love about this product, you can see what is in the bag before you buy it. Doesn’t it look yummy???
I want to know what dog food does your dog(s) eat? Why did you choose that food?
In honor of Tongue out Tuesday, here is my pal Emma from My GBGV Life and myself enjoying the great outdoors!
