I picked up The Simple Food Project pet food from Paddywack for a review, but today had other plans.
This food came in handy tonight when I realized that I forgot to thaw food for the dogs.
Pros...
➕ quick and easy to hydrate (I'm using bone broth) and can be fed dry
➕ quality, limited (16) ingredients
➕ box identifies if the food is warming or cooling
➕ doesn't use synthetic vitamins
Cons...
➖ expensive, one box feeds four dogs one meal
➖ the food was a bit rich for a couple of my dogs and lead to loose stool; next time, I'll add pureed pumpkin, the Golden Blend by Green Juju , or FullBucketPets

Our little Jewel, a cockatiel, flew out the front door on the evening of June 3, 2021. She was last seen near the corner of 169th and Sunset in the Bothell/Mill Creek area and may have been spotted in east Lynnwood, though this is unconfirmed. Please help her find her way home and let us know if you see her. Thank you!
Mill Creek’s Memorial Day events on May 31, 2021 will help the community honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. The City’s events will include a pre-recorded commemorative ceremony and a reverse drive-by parade, including military memorabilia and Memorial boards.
The commemorative ceremony will air on the City’s website and page at 9 a.m. on May 31. The pre-recorded ceremony originates at the Mill Creek Veterans Monument, 15429 Bothell-Everett Hwy. The ceremony is pre-recorded to comply with outdoor gathering requirements for COVID-19.
Following the online ceremony, a reverse parade will take place on Main Street between 155th Street SE (the Cold Stone Creamery) and 153rd Street SE (the corner of the former University Bookstore).

Additionally, military uniforms from Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine are provided by staff and community members for on-site viewing during the event.
The City is expanding the reverse parade to incorporate Memorial boards to remember and recognize local military members from the community. The boards will be displayed inside the windows of local businesses during the Memorial Day weekend for the community to read the stories about those who served. The boards illustrate the rich history of our country’s service men and women, and is an opportunity for loved ones to share the pride and patriotism of the service member.

Stopped by Paddywack to pick up bags of treats for upcoming reviews.
There are so many treats that are available on the market and my history in the pet industry has made me insanely picky about what I bring home.
Follow my blog at KeepTheTailWagging.com to learn about what I look for in a dog treats.
Mega blog post coming soon.

The Have A Heart Fundraiser Ends TODAY!
Dog of The Day – Satchel (AKA Sweetie)
Our last featured Have A Heart dog is dear Satchel, a Labrador mix who
was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. She had been lost long
enough that most of her skin had the appearance of scar tissue from all
the damage done while on her own. After spending two months waiting
to be adopted and finding no takers, the shelter felt that she was
unadoptable and contacted Old Dog Haven for help.
Poor Satchel was just terrified when she arrived at her PERMANENT
final refuge home. She shook with fear, huddled in a corner and would
not make eye contact. Her final refuge family sat on the floor and cooed
to her in an attempt to let her know she was finally safe.
It was a tough journey. Satchel continued tearing at her skin enough to
cause wounds on top of wounds. Old Dog Haven made sure she saw a
skin specialist and she was given antibiotics and allergy medications
along with frequent special baths – oh, did we mention Satchel is afraid
of water? With some time Sweetie was able to settle in and grow hair
where there wasn’t any at all.
Satchel continues to build on hope and trust. With the help of her final
refuge family’s dog-savvy teenage grandson Satchel is overcoming her
deep fear of young men. She’s crazy about her permanent foster family
and they are crazy about her. For them to witness her wiggling like her
front and back are going to fly apart when she sees them brings pure
joy.
Satchel loves being in her goofy little pack of four. She eagerly awaits
her fur buddy sister to alert that strangers might be crawling over the
fence, dashing out like a house afire to see if they can catch one (alas not
yet). She enjoys her walks, sniffs, and when it snows, a quick romp
among this ‘white fluffy stuff’.
Satchel still requires care for her skin issues but the flares have
diminished thanks to medications, prescription shampoo, and
continuing monitoring by an allergy specialist. She also suffers from a
CCL (a tear of the ligament) and pain medications help keep her agile.
Satchel has continued to thrive. Her hair is almost all the way in and it’s
a beautiful honey-colored brindle. It took a year of hard work to get her
where she is today. She’s blossomed into a very trusting and sweet girl.
Satchel is a sweetheart and her final refuge family is happy they were
chosen to go on this journey with her.
Without the support of so many Satchel might never have gotten a new
leash on life. One this VERY LAST DAY of the Have A Heart Fundraiser
please sponsor Satchel by stopping by or calling Paddywack (425) 357-
6510. Read more about Satchel (AKA Sweetie) here:
