Mommy #2 said she posted for today. "That's hilarious, Mommy," I said; "Because I happen to know you did NOT post ANYTHING today. You barely posted something YESTERDAY!!!!"
Of course she totally denied this ever being true and so she went online to PROVE it to me that she had posted SOMETHING!
"I don't know about you, BUT I do NOT see A Bowl of Noodles anywhere in this BLOG ROLL," I told HER.
So she was all outta kilter after that revelation and said she had nothing prepared! "It's okay," I said. "I will take over today as I am totally capable of doing the blog POST now that I am SIX years old.
Mommy? I;m sad without you. See my tail?
NO? Well it is totally straight, I want you to know.
Sunshine, let's form a train and ram through
the door
It was a long weekend with Mommy nowhere in sight. Even when she was home those FEW HOURS, she was either sleeping or doing some other work. She even went on the front porch to clean a fan that she needed to take to a party somewhere. All the while, I kept telling her that I wanted to BE with her. . . GO with her. . . anything as long as it was with her.
Then the weekend was gone and the work day begun. I sure hope next weekend is nothing like that again.
We've gone SOLID GOLD for a MONTH!!! As I mentioned before, Molly and I have been asked to take the SOLID GOLD challenge and eat SOLID GOLD HOLISTIC pet food for a whole month and then tell Chewy.com how we felt about the food. Oh! And how we liked the food. How the food LIKED us. You get the picture. Well, we were totally onboard with the challenge so Ms. Sydney sent us a bag to try.
BUT FIRST, we had to do our homework about SOLID GOLD so we would know WHAT we were getting ourselves into.
Solid Gold Pet Foods is a California-based pet food company which specialized in holistic food for pets.
ho·lis·tic
hōˈlistik/
adjective
PHILOSOPHY
characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.
MEDICINE
characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the physical symptoms of a disease.
The company mission is to create nutrition which will change pets lives Body Mind and Spirit. That's a pretty tall order from a pet food company. The nutrition goal is lots of things a pet needs and none of the stuff it doesn't - so their foods and treats are rich in protein and vitamins and minerals while being void of by-products, grains, and fillers.
Sounds good to me. I like real food. It makes me feel better and more satisfied after I eat. I am lying a little. I am never satisfied. I am never full. I am P.U.G.

THIS ALL SOUNDS GOOD TO ME and I feel good about eating the Buck Wild with Venison,
Potato and Pumpkin. So far - TWO WEEKS into the challenge - it remains a very tasty and
SATISFYING food for me.
FOOD! Food, food, food. I'm a PUG - it's always about FOOD.
This is really a treat. It is an edible hedgehog. Mommy buys them at the SILICON VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY because some of the proceeds go right back to the animals they shelter and care for. It is a great organization.
But I wish it was EMPTY.
Imagine - all of the kitties, puppies and assorted exotics animals having FOREVER HOMES!!
Well this weekend - here in the Bay Area and across the nation, NBC and GALAVISION are teaming up on CLEAR THE SHELTERS adoption event.
Pep adoptions will be free or heavily discounted TOMORROW (in the Bay Area)! Check IF and WHEN for your local shelter.
This is what happens when out FOOD BEAR is empty. He lies on his side. . . begging. It is really a sorry sight to behold. Pugsonally, I was really worried when I saw that OUR FOOD rations were disappearing. And there was no sign of any more food coming into the household.
There is a reason why our food is in this repurposed cookie container. Mommy likes to have the food in the house and handy to even the Lil' One to dole out our rations. PLUS, the BEAR has a screw-on lid so we pups cannot ACCIDENTALLY open it and help ourselves to a snack.We have been known to knock over a bag or two in our time. Well, maybe just me - BUT that's not important.
Don't ask me what happened to those cookies. All I know is IT WASN'T ME. They were little beigey cookies shaped like ANIMALS, of all things.
So ANYHOOOO. . . I was watching the FOOD level drop on a daily basis and I was just about to ask Sunshine the Cat if we could share her abundant food. She had a full container (a repurposed pitcher with a lid).
We repurpose A LOT, I think. But I digress.
I was nearly in a panic as we were down to our LAST BITE. Uh, Mommy? Are you going to the store soon? Not saying who. . . but SOMEPUGGY'S food rations are mighty low.
This is my birthday cookie. I just wanted to show some food as I was starting to hyperventilate over the empty bear picture
Of course, Mommy knew something I didn't - we were selected by Ms. Sydney at Chewy.com to do a 30 food challenge. Lucky for us, it arrived the day the BEAR went EMPTY.
