Our "Bark Box" Came In | Posh Pooch Designs

I received A "Bark Box" For my Pooches

the other day! and We Love it!

What is a "Bark Box" you ask?

Basically, you receive a Box of Goodies, 

toys and stuff each month, 

put together especially for your pooches.

We had so much fun checking out the new fun stuff!

It was a beautiful day, so we went out on 

the back deck to play.

Their favorite treat was The Chew Bone called 

 Chickie Twizzies.

It was a little big for them, so I broke it in to 6 pieces.

They chewed on them all day and into the evening!

It got too hot so we went under the covered deck

to play.

 The little Squeaker phone was the Favorite toy.

Looks like Maximo is ordering a pizza!
"Ruff, Ruff...Can you hear me now ...Bow Wow?"

I put down the 2 toys to see which toy they liked best, 

and they ignored them both, and 

just kept chewing on their Chew bones.

So What was in the Bark Box?

Duck Tots Dog Treats -  They Loved Them!

Chickie Twizzies Dog Chew - They Loved It!

GIGA Bite Pork Flavored Treats - Maximo did not car for them

     Rosie Will eat anything.
They Smelled really salty to me, we will try them again later.

Skate Toy - Really Liked it.

Squeaker Phone - Love it so much they fought over it.

Here is Maximo and Rosie Fighting over the Squeaker Phone!

Even Pooches like their phones!

The Box had fun new things I had never seen, 
and new products are always fun to try.
We Can hardly wait to see what next month's 
Bark Box will have in it!

Dog Woobie Crochet Pattern

Woobie Dog Toy Crochet Pattern
Kids like them, too!
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 

First of all: What is a Dog Woobie?

A Dog Woobie is a long, about 12 inches or longer, 

Stuffed Dog toy, usually shaped like a dog. 

Some of them have squeakers, some do not. 

It is totally up to you if you want to put a squeaker in 

it or not. My Rosie Bell, aka Chihuahua model # 2,

 is terrified of the Squeaking sound and runs away

 from them. Maximo, aka Chihuahua model #1, 

on the other hand, loves the Squeaker and loves to 

make it squeak, but probably just to annoy Rosie.

Note about Squeakers and dogs: 

My friend has a Doxie who loves to eat toys with squeakers in them. She had to take him to the vet for emergency surgery because he had swallowed the squeaker out of his woobie, 
not one of mine, and it had lodged in his intestine. 

He almost died. So All My Woobies will not  have the 
Squeakers in them.

Maximo says, "Don't touch my Woobie"!
