May the Fourth Be With You
May the Fourth be with you. And also with you. We’re big Star Wars fans here. Well, Hunny is. I tag along. And across my nearly five years of blogging for Jones Natural Chews, Star Wars images have shown up here with some irregularity. So naturally I’m taking advantage of May the Fourth. Say hi to my little Chewy, truly short for Chewbacca.

Yeah, I named the cats Beyonce and Velveeta. Hunny named the dog Chewbacca. *sigh* There’s just no safe place as a pet in my house. Ask the duck, Little Jimmy Dickens. Gadget was truly fortunate that he came with his name.
No Dog Named Yoda
The dogs should all be glad that none of them are named Yoda. Chewbacca got a cute nickname in Chewy. There’s no real nickname for Yoda. At least Beyonce is BeBe, and my daughter calls Velveeta Cheddar Butt. Patches, however, is auditioning for the part of Yoda. She’s certainly old and wise.

I doubt that, at 15 years old, we’ll be changing her name. And I can’t tell you how many Jones Natural Chews I used to bribe this lot into keeping that thing on their heads long enough for a photo. Flash outright refused, regardless of the treat. Stinker. But he did pose with the headpiece a few years ago …

Where Can You Find The Yoda Ears?
I know you’re asking. I got these, several years back, at a dog blogging conference. See? They’re now available at PetSmart, along with a host of other StarWars related things for pets.

We all had a ton of fun with the StarWars props. Oh! And speaking of conferences, I’ll be attending BlogPaws in two weeks! Will you be there? None of the dogs will be with me, but I’ll be hanging out with Louie the French Dog. In fact, Karen is making custom collars for my dog, as well as a bow tie for Jimmy the Duck. He looks absolutely smashing in a bow tie. And there will be Jones Natural Chews in the swag bags.
