Here’s a link with more info.  A UW-Veterinary School graduate of ”Madtown”, I’m quite familiar with Charlee Bear biscuit treats.  But, in all honesty, I didn’t know anyone made protein crunch bars for dogs.  It sounds like at Atkins diet thing.

On a related note, TerraLoco (the newest store by Trader Joe’s) carries a nice selection of RuffWear.  There are flashing lights to clip on a leash and reflective vests for dogs to wear.  These items are designed to keep you and your dog safe during walks in the dark.  I also suggest carrying a flashlight for yourself–both to increase visibility and to help with “poop patrol.”  :.)

My wonderful dog Daisy is turning into a senior citizen.  This article was written because I’m sad that this means we’ve probably already had more time together than we have left.

This video is just great!  What a lucky cat and what a creative owner.  It’s a great idea that could be adapted on a smaller scale (using really sturdy boxes, of course) if your cats are needing some entertainment or “vertical space” in your home.
