Ellie (short for Elinor!) knows how to keep warm in the chilly winter days...

and...Moose...guess what HIS favorite toy is?

Salty would like to introduce us to his new friend, Paisley the Australian Shepherd!  Salty still likes to be the boss, and can run faster, even he's older and wiser!

 

Here's Salty's latest girlfriend...meet Miss Paisley!

Brain Power!!

Paddington and Bea are ready to Gooooooooo!

Please say 'Hey' to two new fans of Crispy Critter Pet Treats!  Paddington, on the left, and Bea, on the right are cute little energetic pups!  They keep their parents busy - taking them on walks to the beach, to the park, around the neighborhood and especially to day care...they have so many friends there too!  When they go for walks...you may wonder who is walking whom???  

 Sometimes they hop into their bike baskets and check out the neighborhood...looks like Miss Bea is just about ready to spring into action doesn't it???  Somebody better watch out! 

Paddington thinks he looks smart in these glasses...Don't you agree?   He would like everyone to know that Crispy Critter Pet Treats give him Brain Power!!

'Zaffo's California Dreamin' Pumpkin Crunch'

  

 'Zaffo’s California Dreamin’ Pumpkin Crunch’ 

These crunchy treats are made just for Zaffo:  Pumpkin, Rice flour, Blueberry…simple and delicious and soothing to his sensitive tummy. Zaffo, the goofiest Boxer you’ll ever meet, was never interested in dog cookies.  

Before Crispy Critter treats, Zaffo would let a packaged dog cookie sit on his floor for hours before even checking it out (need we say he’s in a one-dog family??). 

Now?  He will froth and bubble and carry on when HIS package of cookies arrives in the mail! 

Hmmm...I sure hope these cookies are for ME!!

Zaffo loves to romp in the park or the trails near his house.  But most of all, he guards his front yard and waits for delivery folks and passer-bys.

This cool grass feels sooo cool on my hot body!

Outside Zaffo's upstairs window, he spends many summer days keeping a watch on the kids in the playground and nearby waterpark...this is HIS window...reserved for him and his viewing pleasure.  Any guests in the room need to keep their door open so he can check out any new activities in the neighborhood.

Checking out the neighborhood

 

Zaffo's special friend gave him this penguin when he was just a pup...it's still his fav!

Well, so much for returning these sample skeins of yarn! Zaffo had a fun afternoon deciding which color he thought would look the best as an afghan for the sofa!  

They say dogs don't know when they've done something wrong!  Don't you think he looks just a little guilty? or just embarrassed?

Lucy Loo's Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

 'Lucy Loo's Winner Winner Chicken Dinner' 
This full-flavor cookie is named after an exceptional and loving English Bulldog. She's a winner on the agility course, the lizard yard and in our hearts...especially Trevor's!  Check out Miss Lucy Loo...Lucy Goose...to her close family and friends! 

Lucy is best known for her lizard chasing expertise. In years past, she would race to be first out her doggie door...she'd frantically scout the perimeter of her yard...pouncing on the bushes, fences and remote corners of the yard, chasing lizards up the trees and off 'her' property!  When she'd meet one face to face, she'd smoosh them with her nose, doing her best to smell them and taste them until they escaped to live another day. 

A few years ago, Lucy enrolled in an agility class at Jacksonville, Florida's Dog Wood Park.  Dog Wood park offers drop-in swim and agility courses for play and fun and practice...they also have great instructional classes if you live nearby.  Yes, we know...you just don't see bulldogs on agility courses!  Typically, we think of bulldogs as lazy and sloth-like, but not Miss Lucy!  After her owners enrolled her in her first agility class (she turned her head and pretended not to notice how her classmates doubted she could do it), Lucy took to the agility course like she was born to jump and climb and race through tunnels.  She'd do it all like a champion - anything for a treat of course!  

 Take a look...we think you'll be impressed with her agility ability too!

Lucy...helping set up the agility course

Lucy needs to make sure the bar wasn't set too high for her short legs!

It's PERFECT!!! And, Lucy if off and running!!

On to the Balance Board...now, this takes concentration!!

All the way up...and all the way down...What Lucy Loo'll do for a treat!

Here's Lucy again, this time jumping over Mocha Joe's hurdles in Wilmington, NC

Lucy thinks water tastes better, straight out of the faucet!

HOME SWEET HOME!

Meet Mocha Joe...

Meet Mocha Joe...

Mocha Joe is the inspiration behind Crispy Critters Pet Treats and Chairpup of our Taste Testing Team!  Mocha Joe is six years old - a sweet-natured and frisky red merel, mini-Australian Shepherd.  Born in Georgia from Dynasty Aussie Kennels, owned by Fran Withers and Kim Johnson, Mocha Joe is the son of champions; but, in his world...he's the champion of our neighborhood!  He's everyone's friend and works hard herding the neighborhood dogs, cats and birds and ducks.

It's Mocha Joe's job to keep the annoying geese off our side of the bank, and in the water where they belong.  We'll be introducing you to family, friends and neighbors as time goes along.

They each have their favorite cookie, named after them too!

 Have you ever looked at the ingredients list on most commercial dog cookie packages?  When Mocha Joe was a puppy, we were committed to feeding him wholesome, healthy meals and wanted to continue that to his snacks as well. 

So, we decided to make our own, natural, healthy homemade dog cookies!  One inspired Sunday afternoon, we 'recycled’ the chicken scraps and innards of our whole roasted chicken dinner and created homemade, natural and healthy treats for him!

What a cute pup!

 To make ‘Mocha Joe’s Southern Swirl’ we diced up the Chicken and added a bit of Whole Wheat Flour, Gravy, Carrots, a dash of Flax Seed – all topped with a swirl of Sweet Potato and Pumpkin and sprinkle of Southern-style Grits!   Let him know if you want to learn how to order some - they are crunchy, delicious and healthy - perfect to keep handy as a reward or treat, anytime of the day: MochaJoeTreats@gmail.com.

Mocha Joe...all grown up!!
