Start Your Day with a Smile with Hill’s Breakfast Medleys

It’s important to start your day the right way. You need to fuel your mind and body to handle whatever comes your way throughout the day. For you that may be a long shower, and quick workout, a refreshing smoothie, or an hour of relaxing in front of the TV. But pet owners must also make sure to help their animals start off their days on the right track. Whether your dog enjoys a long walk or a quick play session every morning, all dogs must start the day with a good breakfast. And there’s no better way to end breakfast than with a yummy little treat like Hill’s Ideal Balance Breakfast Medleys. This little treat is sure to put a smile on any dog’s face, and what better way to start your day than seeing your animals happy?

The first time I saw these treats they immediately put a smile on my face. Whoever decided to make breakfast dog treats look like little waffles is a culinary genius in my book. How could any pet parent resist getting little doggie waffles for their precious pooches? As you can see in my photos, I’ve decided that with these treats and some human waffles, Sadie and I will be starting a new breakfast in bed tradition on Sundays.

If you’re not a breakfast in bed with your dog type person, there are still a ton of great reasons to give your dog Hill’s Breakfast Medleys treats at breakfast time, or any other time. Those tiny waffles make a great reward for a successful, well-behaved morning walk. Another great way to start the day is with a short dog training session, either teaching a new trick or practicing an established skill. With a morning training session you can get some good bonding time with your dog before the necessities of the day take away your time and attention. And your dog can start the day off with the mind and body exercise and self esteem boost that a good training session provides. A Hill’s Ideal Balance Breakfast Medleys treat at the end of training is the perfect way to let your dog know that he or she did a good job.

Hill’s Breakfast Medleys may look like tiny waffles, but in fact these grain free treats are made with chicken and eggs. Chicken is the number one ingredient, providing your dog with a good boost of protein in the morning. And there are no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Hill’s products are all natural, all made in the USA.

You can get Hill’s Ideal Balance Breakfast Medleys from Chewy.com for $5.99. And while you’re at Chewy.com, check out all the other great products available from Hill’s Ideal Balance, including more treats and dry and wet food for dogs and cats.

Sleepy – #52Snapshots

This week’s 52 Snapshots of Life theme is sleepy. Sleepy time is very popular in my house, especially when it’s combined with cuddle time. When Sadie first wakes up in the morning and you can tell she is still very sleepy, that is when she is her most loving and cuddly. For most of the day Sadie has better things to do than sit around being petted and cuddled by her humans. She practically times her hugs, only staying in your arms for a quick minute or two. But in the morning, Sadie will happily snuggle with you for hours if you have the time. It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning when a sleepy Sadie comes snuggling up next to you!

Pouting

Thanks for liking us! Sadie and I really appreciate the love!

Last week, my poor little Sadie went into pouting mode, so of course I grabbed my camera. Once a month, on flea and tick medication day, Sadie gets all pouty. First, she hates being force fed her heartworm pill. Second, I put medicine down her back that seems to feel icky and wet, but just won’t come off. And Sadie tries very hard to make it come off. Which leads to the last and worst offense of all, I make Sadie wear her pajamas. Because she runs around the house trying to rub off her flea and tick medication on any surface she can rub against, I make her wear pjs to try and keep the medicine off the furniture and on her back. I think she looks absolutely adorable in her pajamas, but Sadie disagrees. As soon as I put them on her, she stands exactly where I place her and refuses to move. I always try to give her a treat for putting up with the medication, but Sadie won’t even take the treat, let alone eat it. My dog basically turns into a mannequin displaying dog pajamas. So I have to pick her up and carry her to the bed, where she lies completely still and spends the rest of the night pouting. As soon as the pjs come off, Sadie is immediately alive again. She zooms off to drink water and find that treat she rejected earlier. I always feel bad about the pouting, but luckily it seems I’m always forgiven, until next month comes around.
