Chewy Review – Fruitables Whole Jerky Strips Chicken Tenders

Hi everyone, it’s Millie & Walter here! We are here to do this month’s Chewy.com review.

Walter worked hard to get the treats out of the box

We are reviewing Fruitables Whole Jerky Strips Chicken Tenders. There are other flavors available too.

According to the Chewy website these treats come with a warning.

“Warning — Fruitables Whole Jerky may cause your dog to drool, tremble, howl, and show a sudden increased interest in everything you are doing — don’t worry, these reactions are perfectly natural! Whole Jerky Roasted Chicken Tenders Dog Treats starts with the highest quality sliced whole chicken tenders that are then slow cooked to bring out a savory roasted aroma and flavor that drives dogs wild!”

You can read more about them on the Chewy.com website. These treats are made in the USA too and we know how much we all appreciate that.

Some of the pieces are quite large

You aren’t going to break that in half are you mom?
I sure hope not.

Sigh…you did break that piece in two.
The pieces are pretty big though.

We finally got to try a couple of pieces. Take a look at our video that we took. You sure can see how much we loved these treats.

If you can’t see the video you can go here to view it.

We both think these treats are great and even got another piece to try.

We have to give these treats 8 paws up (because that is all the paws we have) and we recommend them to all our friends.

This month we are joining Oz the Terrier and Koru Bear for their Chewy.com blog hop.

Throw Back Thursday – My How Things Have Grown

Hi everyone it’s Cindy here. While moving all my files from one computer to another I discovered a picture that took me back over a decade ago.  A young Angel Nina was hanging out in the yard while helping Charlie do some gardening.

Many of the plants towards the front of the planting were just put in the ground during that spring of 2005. The small tree in the middle with the red leaves is a Japanese Maple. In front of the maple tree to the right and left are a couple of evergreen shrubs.

Here is the same Japanese Maple and evergreen shrubs about 11 years later. Some of the shrubs that are in the top picture were moved as the tree and other shrubs grew and crowded them out. You never know how a planting will turn out when it first goes in the ground. It’s always fun to stumble on a picture of what our yard looked like when a planting was first done to remind us of how it once looked. Gardening definitely takes patience to wait for the final outcome.

Hooking on Hump Day – Rendezvous Clutch

Hi everyone it’s Cindy here. Today I’m joining the Hookin on Hump Day blog hop to show you a clutch purse I made. One of the other reasons I haven’t blogged much this summer was because I had a family wedding to attend and along with being away for that I also did a bit of sewing for wedding gifts and made this clutch to go with the dress I wore.

I found this pattern in the April 2015 issue of Crochet World magazine called Rendezvous Clutch. It worked up to the perfect size to hold my phone and a few essentials. I wasn’t sure at first if I would add the flower details but decided that it was too plain without them. It also helps to weigh down the flap so it stays closed.

The original pattern called for a zipper across the top but it didn’t call for a lining. With the way the crochet fabric had fairly large holes in it I decided to add a lining so nothing would fall through and you couldn’t see what was in the clutch. Speaking of the crochet fabric, it is made with a special stitch called “Crossed Double Crochet” that is well described in the instructions. At first it was a bit awkward to do but it got easier once you got used to it.

To make the bag perfect I added a couple of pockets, one with a zipper, to the lining. The pattern was very easy to follow and the bag worked up to the same size as the pattern description.

I used about 1 1/2 skeins of Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn. Usually I don’t enjoy working with cotton yarn because it seems kind of sticky but this time I used a Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hook and the yarn slid easily around my hook.

I’m real happy with the way my bag turned out and hope I have some other occasion to use it sometime.
