S is for Snapz! A to Z Challenge

April 22, 2014

S is for Snapz! I love this A to Z Challenge. Snapz! Beef Liver Taffies is one of our two featured Jones Natural Chews treats this month. And here to model the Snapz! and their allure to dogs big and small is Buddy the rescue dog!

Dalmatian mix
Buddy the Dalmatian mix is a handsome spotted dog.

Buddy is, his mama thinks, part Dalmatian. I fell madly in love with Buddy’s spotty coat. And here’s what Buddy’s mama told me before I visited (not an exact quote, but close enough):

[quote align=”center” color=”#999999″]Don’t expect Buddy to come near you. He doesn’t like strangers. And he doesn’t really like treats. He doesn’t chew things at all and probably won’t take a treat.[/quote]

Yeah. Like I ever take that seriously. I come bearing Jones, after all. It’s magical.

So I showed up and asked for the scissors. I love that Jones has really high quality standards and wraps their treats appropriately, but jeehosaphat are they tough to open without scissors. I opened a Knee Cap and that didn’t go over so well. Initially.

Checking out the Jones Knee Cap
Buddy checks out the Knee Cap from Jones and decides he doesn’t really like gnawing treats. Uh huh. Sure, Buddy.

Then I opened the Snapz! and sat on the floor and waited. It took Buddy a few minutes to figure out where the luscious beef liver smell was coming from. He edged closer and closer.

Wants the Jones chew
Hmm. To take the treat, or not to take the treat – that is the question.

And closer still. Then gingerly took a Snapz! Beef Liver Taffy from my hand. The all natural meaty goodness is magical, I tell ya.

The look of longing
He so desperately wants another Beef Liver Taffy.

It wasn’t long before Buddy settled in next to me and was letting me scratch his back end, taking treats from me like there was no tomorrow. The beef liver is an ice breaker with nearly every dog I’ve met.

OM NOM NOM

(In fact, talked to a friend tonight whose Yorkie is poorly trained and will run off periodically. No longer. He stands at the door with a Beef Liver Taffy and she runs right back in the house for it.)

After a few Snapz!, Buddy was ready to try the Knee Cap from Jones. Surely I wasn’t going to steer him wrong after the taffies. Let’s see what Buddy decided to do with that Knee Cap.

Dalmatian mix
Look at those spots! Buddy really is a very beautiful dog. And he seems to be taking to the Knee Cap.
A dog and his knee cap
“Uh, thith ith mine. Go ‘way.” I think he likes the Knee Cap.

Y’all, Buddy seriously held this Knee Cap in his mouth the next 45 minutes I was there. He was drooling EVERYWHERE. Really. I felt kinda bad. His mama says he’s not a drooler. Ever.

Don't touch the knee cap
This was how I left Buddy, laying on his bed in the corner of the living room, holding the Knee Cap in his mouth. Not gnawing it, mind you. Just holding it and drooling.

So a big thank you to Buddy’s mama. She’s the same friend to whom we chose to give our Humperdink last year. She paid him royally to help her in photo shoots this last month. I recommend her if you’re looking for a Tulsa area photographer.

The Easter Bunny
Humperdink is the real deal for Easter, and was rewarded with carrots.

And that’s a wrap! Come back tomorrow for an interview and the letter T!

Until I write again …
