It was bound to happen. Lucy and Annabelleย now have their own subscription to BarkBox. If you have dogs, I’m sure you’ve seenย the ads pop up on your Facebook feed. Lucy and Annabelleย heard about BarkBoxย from their dog friends (not really), so I ordered it for them (really). They’ve been extra good schnauzers this year, andย Christmas came early.
Now we’re really living high.
Because we’re a high living society.
We’ve reached the point in timeย when nearlyย every little thing can be delivered to ourย doorsteps customized to ourย specific profilesโ organic ingredients with step-by-step recipe cards, the latest beauty offerings, shoes and clothing Iย can try onย in myย own cluttered closet, razor blades, wine, gourmet bacon, and more.
Not that I’m complaining.
I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for good packaging and BarkBox does it right. Check out this cute card explaining what’s prey, what was onceย prey, and what sounds like prey. Nice touch for the human with the checkbook.
I read the card to Lucy and Annabelle but eager to dig in, they didn’t hear a word I said. I imagineย they could smell the treats before we unwrapped the goodies.
Seriously. Best twenty bucks I’ve spent in a while. Evidently, they’ve been bored with their old chew toys, and come to think of it, I haven’t bought them anything new in a long time. Twenty dollarsย gets usย a combination of 4-5 toys and treats plus a whole lot of happiness.
Happiness sometimes disguised as ferociousness.
Our first box was New York themed, probably because Bark & Co is based inย the Big Apple. Toys included a Statue of Liberty bouncy ball and a box of Chinese takeout filled with squeaky dumplings. Who knew fake Chinese’s foodย could be so entertaining?ย Each time I refill the takeout box, Lucy drags it off, Annabelle chases her, and together they dig into it and rediscover the dumplings like it’s a brand new day.
Our second box was Halloween themed with a witch’s broom toy and a “here lies squirrel” tombstone. Ghoulish duck/pumpkinย treats were a hit. All the treats have been a hit because, treats.
In addition to the monthly subscription, for those extra special occasions, the BarkShop has all sorts of toys and treats and items for ourย four-legged friends, including The Dognald.ย I hope he’sย in our November BarkBox (hint hint). I mean, he’sย perfect for Election month, don’t you think?
According to the website, The Dognaldย is one tough “Repuplican”. When chewed on, he grunts. Of course he does.
And never fear, the “Democats” are equally represented/ridiculed. Hillary Kitten’s pantsuit boasts reinforced seams, her squeaker is extra sturdy, and sheย has a smart phone in her pocket forย easy email deleting.

P.S. Kitties feeling left out? Worry not.ย The KitNipBoxย may be for you. (Lucy & Annabelle can’t endorse such a thing though, because cats are the enemy. And squirrels.)

Got my furbabies something called Purr Packs! Haven’t gotten the first one yet, but the box is packed with catnip laced cardboard crumbles and I am sure that will be the most favorite thing. My boys all have a slight catnip problem LOL

Oh, this really makes me wish we had a dog!!! The Dognald and Hillary Kitten just crack me up. And did I mention your pups are really cute, Talya?
Blessings!
