Look what we got!

A little while ago, one of our favorite blogs, 2punkdogs had a give away of a Ruff Wear dog pack.  It was too big for their dogs and they asked if anyone out in the land of blogs was interested in it.  Well, based on the suggested measurements, it would fit at least one of the acd pack and we were the lucky recipients, it arrived yesterday!

Of course, once the box was opened, the pack was thoroughly sniffed and sniffed again.

"Maybe there is a cat inside here!"
  
Callie tried the pack on first.  She wasn't overly impressed with it.

Callie: "I will not be wearing this."    


I assured Callie that it wasn't that bad and that she certainly would be wearing it and would be fine. (We'll be talking more about that later.)

Our blind puppy Breeze also tried it on and it fits her a bit better since she is bigger than Callie.


Breeze wasn't too sure about the pack either but at least she didn't make faces about it like Callie.  

      
2punkdogs also sent us a paw print silicone baking tray!  We'll be trying that out soon to make some more peanut butter pooch treats. 

A big thank you to 2punkdogs!

Do your dogs ever think about a career?
           
Our deaf girl Azule, along with blind Breeze might be thinking about a career in policing.  Azule thinks that since her vision is so good and she can run very fast and likes to chase, she would be a good candidate for a police dog.


Even though she's blind, Breeze thinks that since her hearing is so good and she can find things by sniffing, she could be a good police dog too.


Well, a career in policing is not going to happen but they did, of course,  enjoy the attention!

  1. Aww, Callie sure looked worried wearing that pack! Maybe once they all learn that the pack contains good things, they won't mind so much!

    1. It's somewhat typical of Callie, in a "you want me to do what?!" kind of way. Knowing her, she'll be trying to help herself to the good stuff she's carrying and end up walking in circles!

  2. You'll be able to pack all your police gear in that pack.....plus extra treats!

    1. You're right - I was surprised at how much room there is. Lots of treats!

  3. We love our ruff wear pack...Schatzie is our "pack dog" Callie's expression cracks me up and Breeze seems to be just fine with it and looks rather cool in the pack.

    1. I think the picture of Callie so perfectly captures her. She tends to be very opinionated!

  4. Howdy Mates, what a great dog pack. Bet when it's filled with treats all paws will be up to carry it hehe. We get the feeling you dogs could do any job you wanted to for sure! See ya. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

    1. The smaller ones of the pack won't be able to wear it, they can just walk along side and sniff all the goodies inside!

  5. Callie looks horrified! Wrigs wears a Ruffwear Swamp Cooler cooling vest in the summertime. It's wonderful and keeps him very comfortable. We've also tried some of their dog boots, but those didn't work out. Glad to hear Azule and Breeze aren't joining the police force. ;-)

    1. Yup, horrified is right. Just another example of how rough things are for Callie...sigh. :) I think that Azule and Breeze will stick to chasing squirrels and birds instead of criminals!

  6. So glad you finally got the pack! It looks good on Breeze, Callie looks almost as horrified as Maggie did. :)
    The dogs would make an awesome crime fighting unit, ACD6pack to the rescue!
