Mommy has been reading alot about dental disease... and she is very concerned for us because bad teeth can cause all kinds of problems, including heart disease. Mom wants me & Keira to start life in a healthy routine, so she bought us all several bags of dental stix and Greenies. And we loved chewing them!
But....then, Mommy picked up a pound bag of salmon treats for us and freeze-dried chicken strips, and they were so yummy! We had a bunch of goodies tonight, after our dinner, and Mommy said she's gonna give us a dental stix every few days to keep our teeth and gums healthy. And, in between, we'll get the salmon & chicken treats. I can't wait!!
I'm so happy that the treats that keep us free of dental disease taste so good. Thanks, Mommy, for taking such good care of us.

WE JUST DISCOVERED THAT BRODY ABSOLUTELY LOVES WATCHING TV, ESPECIALLY ANYTHING THAT HAS OTHER DOGGIES IN THE SHOWS. HE WAS ALSO TOTALLY ATTENTIVE TO THE TV SCREEN WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA GAVE HIS INAUGURAL SPEECH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE SOUND OF OBAMA'S VOICE OR HIS MESSAGE THAT CAPTIVATED BRODY...BUT HIS EYES WERE ONLY ON HIM!
IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING SIGHT...
Last week, while browsing in the PET section at Walmart, I came across a display of dvds made especially for dogs to watch...some, like the one I wound up getting, play continously over & over until you stop it or turn off the tv. We used to have an American Bulldog
that watched ANIMAL PLANET, but I hadn't seen too much action in front of the tv with Brody...but for the last 6 weeks, he has had Keira for entertainment! Anyway, I bought the 45 minute dvd for $10, and it was the most fun way to spend ten bucks!
Brody was sitting on my lap, absolutely "glued" to our big 42" tv...he kept jumping down off the couch, running up to the screen above him, trying to "paw" his way into the dvd. Watching Brody was probably more amusing to me than watching any good comedy; he had me hysterically laughing cuz he would sit so proper, staring at all the dogs running around the different dog parks...all sizes too! There was an adorable little shih tzu in the video that kept barking {but he was always wagging his tail} at what I'm guessing was the cameraman.
All in all, it was pretty funny. Keira, our new Griffon, watches the doggy dvd too, but not as attentively as Brody does. Now,
whenever I call them to "come see all the doggies", Brody is the first one to literally fly into my lap for the show! BOL!! Keira likes to view the dogs from the top of the couch, so she can multi-task
{watch out the window at the neighbohood activitity & see the dvd}
Our Shepherd, Darcy, who is a very observant dog and barks at just about ANYTHING has absolutely NO interest in the doggy dvd
or the dogs' barking in it....Go figure! Guess she's smart enough to know what's REAL & what's just for our amusement.

Hi Everybody~~
How are all my pup pals today? This afternoon, Mommy surprised me by taking just me out with her for some one-on-time, something Mom and I haven't had much of since Keira arrived 6 weeks ago. Mind you, I am not complaining by any sense of the word...I really love my new sis, but you ALL know how it really is, right?
As much as we pups all treasure our fur siblings, NO ONE can come close to MOM. MOMMIES ARE THE BEST, and mine is NO exception. When I saw Mom grab my jacket and then me, I was doing my "whole body shake"...I was so excited. Then, when we got out in the car, I had to give Mom a few dozen kisses to tell her just how happy I was. I didn't even care where we were going...I just knew I was in our SUV with Mom. Yippee!
But even better was where we wound up...Mommy needed more FROMM & WELLNESS Puppy food for Taylor, Keira and me, so we went down to our local Pet Deli {which is kinda like a mini Pet Smart, just closer to our home}. Mom gets most of our food there, but buys our treats and our toys from Pet Smart or Petco. She knows the feed is always fresh from the Pet Deli, and the nice lady there & a little girl always fuss over me. Today was no exception!
I was busy giving out "Brody kisses" to Mya, and she was giggling.
Mom got our dry food, then decided to get Rex his PREMIUM EDGE while we were there. After that, we headed back home. It was the best 45 minutes that I've had alone with Mom in a long while, but Mommy always makes sure that I get just the right amount of TLC every day. I'm a very happy, little guy who LOVES his Mommy.... now really don't we ALL feel the same about our Moms'? You betcha, we do! Thanks to ALL THE MOMMIES out there for making our days and our lives so special...
Love, Brody
