Sasha is ‘Feeling Groovy’

This month’s Barkbox took our pup on a magically delicious ride. Even though her December box has barely been broken in, this pup was ready for more pawtastic treats.

Ziggy’s Disco Fries Treats (Delca) were a crunchy enjoyment. She could have eaten an entire basket-ful but we didn’t want them to go to her hips. These burger-joint inspired treats normally run $9.

The Ducky Tenders (Loving Pets) gave this canine something to quack about. The chewy treats hit the spot and the price is right at $8.

We have a tendency to keep things like the Elk Chew (Etta Says) down to minimal consumption for Sasha due to the fact that she likes to scarf them down so quickly. This can cause her to have a bit of a choking issue. So we will be saving these for a special occasion where we can watch her as she enjoys them. They rang in at $3 retail.

Not only did the Barkbox deliver tasty treats but they drop some ruvable toys off as well.

Lucy’s Magic Bus Toy (Bark & Co) took Sasha on her own fun adventure. Once again, anything with a squeaker in it sets this doggy’s heart a beating. She was in love instantly. She has even slept with the $10 bus between her paws on a few occasions already.edited January barkbox bus 2

And finally there’s Ozzie the Hippie (Bark & Co). He likes to go for rides on Sasha’s collar and she bucks until he “gracefully” thunks on the ground. I’d like to tell you he has made it a whole 8 seconds but that would be a lie. Ozzie is worth his $13.

Total retail price of these items would have been $43.
