Wednesday for Ewe

Happy Wordless Wednesday!  I'll share some more shots from the NH Sheep & Wool Festival (plenty more in yesterday's post).

 

 

Alpaca and Goats and Sheep... Oh My!

I'm certainly late in posting my photos from the NH Sheep & Wool Festival, but hope you'll forgive me while you enjoy this picture heavy post...

Everywhere you looked, it was cuteness, handsomeness, and loveliness... 

There were adorable babies...

 

There were perpetual looking babies, aka Angora Goats...

If there was an award for festival flirt, this guy won hoofs down!

There were even friends and fiber and yarn!  The fabulous Heather of Sereknity was on hand with a beauteous booth, bursting of color...

Matt even made a friend or two...

Are you bored yet?  If not, come back tomorrow for a little Part 2 just in time for Wordless Wednesday.....

Happy Summer

Happy 1st Day of Summer....... and happy countdown to the fabulous fall weather that I can't wait for (yeah, yeah... I know, you all love the heat, but I say ick, bring on the fall temps)!



I'm a little swamped over here, so for today I just wanted to share these beautiful roses I spotted at a little beach cottage.  I managed to snap a few pics while working at a location that's far prettier than my office last week, although trust me when I say it is still work.  Although it's given me some pretty photos lately (I'll share the nesting dove with you later).  Aren't beachy-roses gorgeous?

Cookies for all

Happy Dogs on Thursday, Thankful Thursday, Little Friday or whatever it is that you celebrate on this day that brings us all one step closer to the weekend! 

Teutul and Lola are patiently looking for the weekend to begin (or maybe they're just waiting on the UPS man to bring them more treats and toys to review)...

Zeus, wondering if he stares long and hard enough, perhaps someone might come home with more of these colorful spring C-O-O-K-I-E-S...
 

 

Sophie deciding which one will taste the best...

Lola just says I'll take 'em all, while Teutul looks on and tells her just what he thinks of that!  Fine, she'll take one and then go find her favorite sun spot..

 

Zeus says be sure and take a big 'ole bite out of the weekend... enjoy!

Happy Wordless Wednesday!  A little wildlife enounter I had last Friday...

REVIEW: Think Pawsitive Dog Treats

Think Pawsitive Dog Treats
Whec to Find: Think Pawsitive Dog Snacks

"Organic Treats Made by Loving Hands for Healthy Paws"

The 4-legged Lapdog reviewers sure have been hard at work lately taste testing t-r-e-a-t-s, the latest being from Think Pawsitive Dog Snacks. 

  

Based out of Massachusetts, Think Pawsitive is the brain child of Sean (a life-long dog lover), his fiance Greia ("as in sangria") and their friend Shawn (a pop culture junkie).  The three combine to make healthy and tasty treats that will leave dogs begging for more - just ask their own 4-legged taste testers, Toby and Tek!  All of the ingredients used are organic and human grade - meaning everything that goes into Think Pawsitive treats can be consumed by humans. 

The Lapdogs had the pleasure of testing 3 of the Think Pawsitive cookie varieties; Snickerpaws, Carrot Cake and Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Carob Chip. 

Snickerpaws smell just as delightful as they sound... and judging by the Lapdogs reaction, taste even more delightful!  The smell of apple, cinnamon and honey bursts out as soon as you open the package.  The adorable puppy-dog shape is the perfect size treat for my pack, however you can easily break the cookies into smaller bites if needed. 

The Carrot Cake cookies smell just as wonderful - and good enough for humans to want to sample!  Of course they contain organic carrot, nutmeg and honey, but there's a little extra twist... organic pineapple!  Due to the fresh produce used, Think Pawsitive does recommend that the Carrot Cake cookies be stored in the fridge and used within three weeks of receipt. 
 

Think Pawsitive's newest recipe is a Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Carob Chip cookie.  With an emerging market for gluten-free pet products, they've come up with something for your pooch that tastes as good as it looks! 

Think Pawsitive is a socially-minded company who not only gives us an option of healthy, all natural treats to feed to our pets, but also allows us to do good for the environment as well.  The paper-based components of their packaging use non-bleached cardboards, which are completely recyclable.  In addition, their Cookie Canister Club helps to reduce packaging as well as save you money!  For $4.95 you purchase an environmentally friendly canister for you to store your Think Pawsitive treats in (you can see a canister in the above photo). In exchange Think Pawsitive will send you a discount code good for 15% off of your total purchase of ANY items you order from them... for life!  Truly a win-win situation - you will have your canister to keep treats fresh when you receive them and Think Pawsitive will be using less of our planet’s limited resources.

A New England based business and healthy, organic treats that the Lapdogs love - and proudly give a 16 Paws Up rating to.  In fact, they're so good that Lola even wanted to run away with the box...



What more could one ask for?  How about the fact that Think Pawsitive gives 2% of their gross sales to animal charities and shelters! 

What are you waiting for? Order some for your pups today... they even offer free shipping on all orders over $25.
