Almost too good to eat

I'm a huge fan of searching out the smaller manufacturers of "doggie things". I'm not obsessive about it, but where possible I do prefer to both support smaller companies and have a good idea of what I'm feeding my dogs. Especially when I can achieve both of those things, and get stuff in the post that looks like this:

This parcel of amazing loveliness arrived this morning, courtesy of Woof Sticks Dog Treats, a local doggie bakery. While the muffins don't really keep (should be eaten within two days of parcel arriving) my two got a little bonus after their breakfast this morning.

From their facial expressions, I'm given to understand that asking them to sit and wait while I took a photos was tantamount to doggie cruelty. Certainly the tuna muffins disappeared so fast that getting action shots proved to be a little difficult (though I managed to get a pic of them each scraping up every last little crumb)

So, so far, an overwhelming four paws up for Woofsticks dog treats, and we haven't even started on the cookies yet. I am very tempted to join in the sampling; they look AMAZING.

Marmite and Cheese Breadsticks

As mentioned previously, a photo of my pup won the "prettiest puppy" class in an online competition run in aid of Battersea Dog's Home by Beau's Bakery. As a "well done" to her (not that she did anything except look super cute) I also bought a hamper of the Bakery's home-made doggie treats (again, all profit from which go to Battersea).

She sat to have photos taken...for a while...before concluding that this hamper was too good not to sample:

In addition to the hamper, I bought a pack of cheese and marmite sticks. Opened them first when the box arrived, and Daisy and I sampled one each (the treats are all advertised as being taste-tested by humans as well as dogs, so I was only verifying the veracity of that statement...honest!) First impressions: these are FAR too good to waste on little dogs. So she can have some of the other packs, which I'm quite prepared to believe are delicious but don't feel the urge to try (sardines and liver are really not my thing) but I'm confiscating the cheese and marmite ones.
