FLEAS GO AWAY! YOU'RE NOT WELCOMED HERE!

Hi friends! Hope everybody had an amazing weekend! Vegas was a blast but I was definitely happy to be reunited with Bruno... and Jarryd (can't forget about the boyfriend!) 
Anyways, today being the 10th is the day we give Bruno his once a month flea prevention medication, Trifexis. 
look at the boy and his dog... they look so happy!
This amazing tablet also protects him from heartworm disease and intestinal parasites (healthy Bruno is a happy Bruno). To read more about Trifexis, click here. They claim that it tastes like beef and that you can give it to your dog as a treat, which I'd say is a total lie! I have to hide it in treats in order for Bruno to eat it! It smells straight up like medicine! YUCK! I can't even hide it in his food because Bruno will sniff it out and eat around it! Don't get me wrong, I still really like Trifexis because it has been working for Bruno... just saying you will need to get creative to get your dog to eat it.
I have to break the pill into little pieces so I can hide it!
Bruno can't resist cake!
At first, I thought it works as a repellent (like the mosquito repellent you see in commercials) that creates a protective barrier around your dog haha, but it's not like that at all; it just kills fleas within minutes after they have taken their last bite into your dog (slowly and painfully... just kidding but I hope that's how they die!) 
If you're interested in getting Trifexis for your dog, definitely ask your vet about it. Just a heads up, it's a little expensive but totally worth it! You can save up to $25 by completing a mail-in rebate on the Trifexis website
Oh my gosh guys, on the side note, it has been so hot in the last couple of days and I haven't been taking Bruno to the dog park because when it does get cool, it's already late and I get so lazy!! I will start taking Bruno to the park today! Thank goodness it's starting to get a little cooler! Summer heat is no bueno!

Gone for the weekend

Hi guys! ugh so today I will be leaving for Vegas with my girl friends. This is my first time since forever to go on a trip without Jarryd and I'm just feeling so anxious. Mostly it's because I'll have nobody to talk to about how much I miss Bruno! Usually when Jarryd and I go on a trip we have each other to talk about Bruno and that helps me get through the day, but this time, I'll be all by myself. I mean... it'll be good for me to get out and spend time with my girlfriends but I'm already looking forward to coming home to my baby! It's so crazy how obsessed I am with my dog sometimes, but I can't help it. Good thing I have tons of pictures of Bruno on my phone to help me get through the trip! Probably going to make Jarryd facetime with me over the weekend so I can see my little man too. 
This picture is from the first time I was away from Bruno and had Jarryd facetime with me. Look how little he was!! 

Anyways, have a good weekend friends!! I'll talk to you guys when I get back!

Treat Yourself Tuesday: DogsButter, Banana, and Oats Cookie

Hi friends! It's Treat Yourself Tuesday! Here's another easy recipe you guys can try for your furbabies. It's the peanut butter, banana, and oats cookie; I switched out the peanut butter and replaced it with Dogsbutter (but if you want to use peanut butter, try to use the one with no salt). I found the recipe while scrolling down Pinterest; it's from this blog that has a lot of fun dog friendly recipes like the one I'm about to share with you and a dog ice cream sandwich that I'm very excited to try.
To make this dog treat, you will need
1. 1 egg
2. 1 mashed banana
3. 1/2 cup rolled oats
4. 1/2 cup DogsButter
5. 1 cup of all purpose flour
6. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix it up 
roll it out and cut it out in whatever shape you want
Bake for 15-20 minutes on 375 degrees
 TA-DA!! it smells so good fresh out of the oven!
Bruno approves!!
