machete had a very busy, very active day yesterday. so, when his bark box arrived, he was basically passed the eff out and we didn't open it right away because this:

to perk him up, i opened the box and we found all sorts of awesome goodies! once the box was opened, all of a sudden this little corg was very "interested."

first up in this month's box were these Licks liquid vitamins for dogs, joint + heart variety.  machete's been taking skin & coat dynamo dog vitamins along with his fish oil & vitamin c supplements so these are a bit interesting. i have to work out the dosage, though; because it's 1 pkg. per 50 lbs. of dog and um...yeah, corgs are small.

next up was a giant rope toy from Multipet. as you can see, mr. stumpypants was super interested in this acquisition, and had to test it out immediately :p (also of note, machete looks so cute in his dino bandana from ItsyBitsyGatsby)

we also got two different treats from EttaSays.  Duck jerky and duck chews...the jerky looks perfect for training. it's long and string-like but can break up into tiny tiny pieces. however, it.smells.HORRIBLE. oh god so awful, worse than the ramen-smelling kong dental treats...so obviously machete is a huge fan!  we hope the duck chew is safe for puppies, though barkbox is pretty reliable about those kinds of things.

next, something pretty awesome that i haven't seen in the pet stores before, groom mits from ABOgear!  i can't wait to try these out, because one thing machete has recently started doing is when we're out on walks and he finds something super gross his first reaction is to ROLL IN IT.  UGH!

the next thing we got, unfortunately we're not going to keep.  i'm trying to think of someone with a dog to give it to, and i'm sure i'll figure something out. we normally love barkworthies, and they have amazing products, but we are NOT giving machete any bones at all. stuffed or otherwise. obviously, judge for yourself what you decide to give to your dog, but we've seen too many recent dental issues and severe tooth damage with bones for dogs (and especially corgis) that this is one treat we're going to pass on. thankfully, our stumpy little mister has no idea, so he'll be none the wiser.

so far, bark box has been AMAZING and we've been super happy with everything we get. machete loves the toys and with the exception of last month's mouse toy, he still has EVERY barkbox toy, they've really lasted (notes: results not typical of every corgi, some destroy toys within mere moments).

i am definitely very happy that we got a barkbox subscription, and machete is as well!
