Happy Birthday to Mattie!

Today is Mattie's Birthday. She is 3 years old! Where did the years go? Seems like only yesterday we put her in a basket and snuck her into the renaissance Festival! She is napping now after her party. Lots of presents, dog treats and love! Anyone with a dog needs to check out the new KONG toys. They are rubber toys with openings to stuff with treats. The theory is that dogs in the wild need to work for their food. This toy provides the "work". It is a good toy and we do recommend it. Keeps them busy for hours. I originally was trying to find something to occupy MacGregor, our new puppy. He insisted on chewing on Mattie's ears. So I went to the pet store and came up with the Kong. Now everytime he goes for Mattie, I give him the Kong. So far so good. It works! We think Mattie is the best. Next week, her sister Katie will have her birthday. She will be 14 years old! She doesn't like parties, costumes, toys or a fuss. She does like her treats, tho.
