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!

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!!
