Ho ho ho, Christmas is just around the corner! What do I love most about this wonderful season? A particularly merry mama, an air of good cheer, endless gifts for sniffing, and let’s not forget the most important activity of all – feasting with our loved ones!
This festive season, don’t forget to include your furry family members in your Christmas feast, which brings me to something exciting that I have to share with you! It’s a special project that mama and papa have been working on the past week – a wonderful Christmas fete for dogs; showcasing awesome pawsome goodies from local kitchens.
Words can’t describe my excitement when I saw these goodies, one by one, coming through our front door. I couldn’t wipe that silly smile off my face! Not that I was trying. It was probably the best day of my life.

If humans get jar cakes, we should get jar cakes too! What a great idea by Crystle of Feed My Paws. Why have one layer of goodness when you can have several different ones? You can’t go wrong with peanut butter, yoghurt and cookie crumbs. Or choose between salmon, beef, and chicken for your meat-loving pooch.

Order – Order by 20 December 2014 on their website. Last collection day on 23 December 2014.

Mama is a crazy fan of traditional log cakes. Oh yes, they have to be traditional to pass her test. The moment she laid eyes on the ones from The Barkery, I saw her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree!
