noun
a state of perfect happiness; an ideal or idyllic place.
So OUR MAY NEWSLETTER came right on target and was filled with the most insanely wonderful snacks and foods imaginable. I seriously had a tough time narrowing down the choices. BUT since I had just finished a 30 Day Challenge with Rachel Ray Nutrish PEAK limited ingredient dog food, I was READY to sample some SNACK food for a change. But what to try . . . hmmmmm . . . uhhhhhh . . . . I finally spotted the PERFECT treat - GREENIES!
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "But Noodles, I have had Greenies before; so surely you have too." In fact, I think I have posted about them something like THREE times. So why, you ask, is this time any different? Look closely at the photo. It clearly shows this month's choice was for a VARIETY PACK of three DIFFERENT Greenies flavors: Original, Fresh (Minty), and Blueberry.
I don't know about you, but BLUEBERRIES get me to jump every - single - time!
We had to do the required POSING with the product and I have to say (and my face says it quite clearly) I was most anxious to TRY THEM ALREADY!!!!
More posing to show the product in ALL OF IT'S GLORY, We tried the BLUEBERRY first because, well, why try the ORIGINAL which we have had many many many times?
And wouldn't you know it, Lulu showed up about that time and was over for the weekend. And SHE joined in the fun.
I gotta say, we all loved, Loved, LOVED them and there was no puggy who put the treat down and walked away. Mine was gone in 2 seconds FLAT despite them being for a larger dog. Lulu finished hers in 25 seconds, almost as fast as me. But Molly . . . dear, sweet, toothless Molly (she has a couple of molars and her canines) savored that GREENIE for 15 minutes or more.
While I have you captive looking at photos of Molly DAINTILY eating her Blueberry Greenie, I am going to give you the NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION and so on for GREENIES Variety.
GOOD TO KNOW:
1. Helps to keep clean teeth and to freshen breath
2. Unique shape and texture scrubs even hard to reach areas
3. Three flavors (Original, Fresh, Blueberry) a PUP is sure to love
4. Natural ingredients and highly digestible - I tested this and it is true. A Greenie will completely break down in plain water over a 12 hour period.
5. Made in the USA and accepted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council

Needless to say, we loved the Greenies so very much. And we are gonna KEEP ON LOVING them for a while because with THREE flavors to choose from, we will not TIRE of the flavor. This is a Molly thing, not a NOODLES-who-will-eat-anything-all-the-time thing.
We give Greenies Variety Pack with Three Flavors the Casa de Noodles SEAL OF APPROVAL for being a tasty treat that is also GOOD for you.
