About Me

My photo
Hello, my name is Beowulf. My human named me for the epic warrior because she loves the tale, as well as mead. My sister(Ursula) and I love the delectable treats she bakes, as well as our homemade meals! We are likely two of the most spoiled and well-fed dogs around, so if you need any tips, tricks, or recipes for dog fabulousness you are in the right place! You ask, I answer. And just so we are perfectly clear, I will not "candy-coat" anything!

How To Make A Road Trip Fun For Dogs

   Yeehaw! I love adventures! We just arrived in Pennsylvania(My human's grandma's house) a couple of days ago and are having a blast, sniffing all the smells, peeing on everything, barking at wild animals, swimming in Lake Erie...Fun times! Personally, I was just happy to get out of that car and onto terra firma. I mean, my human took plenty of breaks(3-4 per day) so we could all run around, stretch, pee, etc., but it is so boring just sitting in the back for a couple of hours at a time! So here are a few tips on keeping us pups happy and comfy on the loooong stretches of highway:
   1. Lavender oil. Please dab a few drops of pure Lavender essential oil on our collars and seat covers(way off on the edges) for calming aromatherapy. Thank you.
   2. Healthy chew treats. Please give us 2-3 per day, right after breaks. That way, we have already relieved ourselves, and can chill out for another stretch.
   3. Chew toys. We probably won't play with them in the car, but it gives us comfort just to have them nearby.
   4. Blankies. Again, might not need them, but want them...for security purposes only.
   5. Most importantly, please attempt to stick as close to our normal routine as possible. The change of scenery, smells, people, and places is enough! At least feed us and put us to bed at around the same time as usual, again, for security reasons.
                                         On behalf of dogs everywhere, I thank you kindly for your cooperation!
                                                Happy Tails!
