Amber's Doggy Diaries

Mummy-to-be

Well, everyone, the exciting news is I am going to be a Mummy!!!!

That's me & Mr Darcy

Last night my humans had to clip some fur from my tummy. It kinda tickled!!! The reason was because today I had something called an "ultrasound" at the Vets.

Then the vet put jelly stuff on my tummy and then rubbed this funny thingy on my tummy. Then on the vets screen showed inside my tummy.

And inside we spotted some ickle little puppies growing inside me!!! ( I knew all along I was in pup and the humans thought so too but they wanted to check to be totally sure!) The puppies were hard to spot but the Vet says there is quite a few!!! So I will have lots of baby puppies :)

Well I am getting kinda big now because you know them puppies take up a lot of room!!! I am also super hungry because I have lots of puppies taking nutrients from my dinner. So my human has started to feed me some more food.

My prince charming is Mr Darcy!!!! And my puppies will be born around July the 30th.

Lots of pupdates to follow :)

Raw Feeding - Three Months On

Well, I thought it was time for another "pupdate" on how my raw feedings going - which is really super good.

My human says she can really see the positive difference in me since going onto raw.

"Amber is looking absolutely amazing on Raw. Their are lots of changes - glossier coat, sparkling clean teeth, firm waste (and less of it too), and just overall a happier & healthier dog"

I love my raw meals, they are so yummy and much nicer than kibble. Uggh the thought of them dry biscuits. Us doggies are carnivores and we deserve real food!!!

I get something called gRÁW in the mornings. it comes in three lip-smacking flavours: Duck, Duck Heart & Spinach - Salmon & Steamed Veg - Chicken with Beef Organs. I love them all

"I have found gRÁW to be the best pre-prepared food, and Amber loves it!! For her breakfast I tend to give gRÁW as it is just handy and convenient."

Then in the evenings I get my Raw Meaty Bones for great chewing!

"For her dinner she often enjoys a Raw Meaty Bone, which is great for her teeth. Often it is chicken! She also gets turkey legs and pork ribs quite a bit as they are some of her favorites!"

The gRÁW contains lots of fruit & veg (as well as a few supplements) so I tend not get many other things other than just meat in my DIY meals. If the humans have some leftover from their dinner I sometimes get that (or otherwise the chickens do!!!)

I have to eat outside because the humans are fussy about "meat on the carpets" and I don't like keeping my bones on a towel (whats the point??) not that I mind eating outside at all.

For interest, when I started back on raw a few months ago Anna took photos of my teeth. You can really see the difference now.

Holly & Wilson also eat raw. They are thriving on it to and enjoy it loads!! Wilson had a few digestive related issues when he came to us as a puppy, but since being on raw they have totally cleared up.

Raw truly is the best nutrition for your dog. It's the natural diet for us doggies, what we have evolved to eat. So switch your pooch to raw today too!

Pooch Pack!!!

It that time again - Pooch Pack time!!!! Once again, the postman brought me a box of goodies :)

Here was the treasure inside:

Humans kinda ripped the box so that's why it's not in the photo

Planet Dog Orbee-tuff fetch. ball

My human had been hoping to get this for me, as she thought it looked nice, so she was pleased to see it!! We like Planet Dog dogs, as I have a few, so I am looking forward to many fun play times ahead with this super fun toy. Wilson's a fan too.

Go Green Pet Water Bottle

This should be handy for our walkies adventures. Carrying a bowl with us when we go for a stroll is kinda tricky, so this will be useful. I like the doggie design, too!

Thrive ProReward Liver

Yum! Yum! Yum! I ADORE liver treats. These are the perfect size for a training treat, and they smell grrreat. Can't wait to eat them!!!

Bailey's Bites "Minties"

Never heard of these before today! Well, I tried it and I liked it!!!

So I thought this month's Pooch Pack was woof-tastic. 11 out of 10!!

Fun Day Out!!!

Hello everyone :)

Today I took my humans, along with Holly, Wilson & Bramble, to the Bernese Mountain Dog Club Of Ireland Annual Fun Day. This is an important event in my calender because I can meet all my Bernese friends!

I had a great time. There were loads of dog-loving-humans there that all wanted to pet me and give me cuddles. Of course, I loved all the attention and my tail was wagging so hard it was a blur.

I also took Anna to enter me in "Dog with Best Trick" My human has taught me quite a few tricks but as I could only chose one, I did roll over. With a few barks at the end :) And we came 2nd place which meant we got a certificate. I think Anna better stick that up on the wall!

Then there was some doggies getting treats, so I dragged my humans over so I got get a tasty treat, too. I did my best "sit" and I got a lip-smacking-super-yummy reward. So I sat begging for some more of the yummy treats and then I got another one!!

Then my humans took me for a free run in the field beside, where there was a few more Bernese to play with.

Wilson enjoyed meeting all the other big dogs, but Holly was a little yappy. Bramble just wanted to play with them.

And then it was home time and I had a nap on my bed in the back of the car.

What a fantastic day. (And remember humans, we are going again next year too!!)

Wilson's new friend!

My Day Today

Today I had a snooze.

And then I ate my dinner, which was some rabbit mince. And then I played with the other doggies.

Tomorrow my humans are taking me out for the day, to a fun place where there will be lots of other Bernese like me!! Check back in soon to hear all about it.

New Antler Chewie :)

Hey everyone!!!!

Guess what I got today!?! A new StagBar aka Antler chewie :)

Recently there has been a little bit of a "thing" with some humans saying antlers aren't a good chew for us doggies because they can cause problems. However, my human decided that everything in life comes with a risk and because I enjoy my antlers SO much that they will still be in my toy box :)

When Anna was at the pet shop the other day she picked me up another new antler. These are great natural chewies for dogs (so are ideal as part of my Raw Diet!) and I am a big fan!!!

I had a really good chew. Then I let Bramble have a turn because she really wanted too. She loves antlers too, just like me.

That was such a good antler and I enjoyed trying to get all the marrow out. Note to all dogs: Go send your humans out to by an antler. Paws of Approval by Amber.

And if they refuse, chew up all their shoes until they give in!!!!

P.S. My human has been messing around with the photos. They look a little weird but nice!?!
