Love is in the Air!






It's February...almost..and it is the month for love. Actually everyday should be filled with love but we will focus on the exciting day in February that we are supposed to eat chocolate!! How can you not love that? And for all of the non-chocolate eaters, it is the day for you to chow on whatever yummy confection you want. I really enjoy ice cream and donuts! 



Luckily Oscar always loved a little bit of his own kind of chocolate so how could I say no to that face.  Being a dog, chocolate is a no-no so carob chips will have to do. I have tasted carob and was traumatized..ick..but Oscar never seemed to mind.


We have our own little cookies for our dogs and they are our Pudgie Balls. Yummy. Since it is the day of hearts we like for our treats to be all pretty.




There is one more thing that our resident princess Blanche loves almost as much as Pudgie Balls and that is lounging.
(see below)




Looks like she went on a treat tasting bender and this is the result!



Never to early to plan your pets Valentine's Day celebration, after all, they are your true love!!!

Vegas Vacation





Just last week my husband took a trip to Vegas with some friends. Sounds cool. They love going on a trip to Sin City...if it is still called that..? I jokingly asked if he was going to take the box with him because it had never been to Vegas before. I was quickly told...no. So I made a snarky comment and I thought that was the end of the topic.

Seems like Dave glimpsed the box he had taken to work and decided why not! So off the box goes.







Box popped up bright and early since they had pulled an all nighter just to get there.





Off for a riveting day at CES convention!




Apparently got lost on the way there!





Fought off an attack of the birds!






All in all seemed to have a great time without me.  I just want to point out that when the regular box goes it is "dressed" most of the time and trying to look professional. Apparently the party box was not  concerned with anything but having a good time! Whether the boxes pose with a Cronut or a beer you can bet they are having fun!


Till next time Vegas!

Happy Winter!






The holidays have come and gone and at the moment here in Athens, GA so has the warm weather...of which I prefer...but I do have a coat I really like to wear and a fun hat, so I can take the cold every once in a while.


I am very excited about this year.  I have several ideas I want to try, but then I always do and some make it and some don't. I'm hoping for some fun tee shirts to make an appearance this year and I really love some of the new party packages we are putting together for pets.

I am excited about travels as well...I think the box might make another year. It's back to Santa Fe next month to enjoy the cold (ha) and of course to hang with my buddies. I never get tired of New Mexico but I think that river rafting may have to wait till next year!


New Year...New Ideas......Can't wait!

Loving the holidays!








The holidays are here and while I may have just finished decorating the tree I have been baking and packaging treats like crazy.  The big Indie South Holiday Market was a big success this year.  I am so glad I was stuck at my table because I would have spent every penny I made at all of the other vendors tables. Incredible gifts to be had.







I love it when people make it a point to buy stocking stuffers for their pets! They like gifts too!








We had many gift ideas to choose from. Our double flavor gift bags didn't last through the first day!









Kennel Korn makes everyone happy!  Including me when I am making it!








At the end of the week Max decided enough was enough and didn't even stay awake for his own treats!



Thanks to some of the Star Wars fans out there for ordering some of our Star Wars shapes from our Etsy page..oscarbitesdogtreats...while some of them are hanging out at the movie tonight I will be making sure their pets get a special little something in their stocking this year!!

California Donut Tour 2015






Our stay in Venice Beach was as always fun..with never a dull moment.  From a semi-shooting and capture of a criminal right beside the cafe we were eating at to a boat that decided to come to shore right at the best beach spot to a hotel room with bad tv placement we loved every minute of it.



Some people may find bits of the neighborhood unsavory and maybe part of it is, but I used to live in Manhattan so I don't get fazed by much. The boardwalk is still a place tourists must see on a trip to LA and the beaches are great.








The Santa Monica Pier is such a festive place.  Not so big that you are overwhelmed but has plenty to do and see. Gotta love those delightfully tacky souvenir shops and the musical performances are truly great.







We found the best spot to check out the Hollywood sign.  Drove right up to a small road that took you right up close. There was even an Ice Cream Truck there so it was well worth the effort to find it.







Didn't make it for drinks at the Chateau this time around but definitely next time around!







Took a brief overnight trip down to San Diego and enjoyed some of the sights..and ate the best seafood pasta! The GasLamp Section of down is a must..next time Balboa Park.







Waiting in line for the Late Late Show with James Corden.  If you can get tickets I highly recommend this.  He is well worth the 5.00 Diet Coke I bought on the CBSlot.  But the ticket was free so why not splurge.





And now time for the good stuff.  I do love donuts and apparently so does Southern California so put on your fat pants and start munching! 



                                                                     

                 Randy's Donuts! Cheap...incredibly tasty...and don't tell Iron Man, I was enjoying the donuts so much that I probably wouldn't have noticed if he even happened to be there and that says something!








Bob's Donuts at the LA Farmers Market.  How cute is that..I had two!




San Diego had Nomad Donuts!! Cutest little place and exceptional donuts!







California Donuts In LA...all I can say is incredible!!!







But on our way to the airport we had to put on even larger fat pants because you can't leave without a trip to In and Out Burger!






Farwell California! After I lose about 20 pounds I'll be back!

Never long enough

Late last night we arrived back from our week in Southern California....need I say that I am a little grumpy this morning and it is not because I only got a couple of hours sleep before work! Cali was as fabulous as ever and there is never enough time to do everything. But with each visit I get to see a little bit more and I always make sure to have a list of things I would like to do the next time..because there will always be a next time!

The Box had an okay trip! Really starting to show his age but nothing a few staples won't fix! I hope to have some photos up soon, gotta keep up with the travel album!
