Meowllo everypawdy how ya’ duin’? Last year after BlogPaws there was a lot of give aways in Blogville, and we were able to twy sum food by a company named The Honest Kitchen. They make a dehydrated, raw, natural type of food dat yous add water to. You can even add more meat to da mix ifin yous want. We also won a recipe book fwum them wiff lots of recipes fur meals fur yous doggy and kitty usin’ their food. Well me actually liked da noms. One of da few wet noms me duz like. So when we had da oppurrtunity this mumff to twy sum tweats made by them, we jumped all over it. Chewygives us such gweat options it’s sumtimes hawd to choose, but mommy was sure this wuld be a hit and she fawt she might even be able to use it to entice sis Lexi to eat.
It’s called Ice Pups, but it be fur dogs AND cats. And it can be served warm or furozen. Da ingredients awe Dehydrated chicken, turkey, whey, dandelion, asparagus, watercress, honey and parsley. They come in these little packets dat you mix wiff warm water. So mommy took a packet and emptied it in a bowl and added da 1 cup of warm water and stirred. Mommy sed it looked like an herb laden chicken broth. Anyways, she let it cool enuff so dat it wuldn’t burn our mouffs and poured a little in our bowls. She put da wemainder in an ice tway to fureeze fur a cold tweat later. We do like da occasional ice cube in our water. But mommy had alweady deetermined this wasn’t sumfin’ dat kuld be put in our water fountains cuz it was a bit oily like a chicken broth wuld be.
So bowls at da weady, mommy gwabbed a camera and she was weady fur da fun to begin. We of course was standin’ at da weady cuz we knew it was sumfin’ fur us. Mommy put our bowls down and got weady. But nuffin’ happened. Sissy kept lookin’ at mommy and lookin’ at da bowl and me just sat back and looked at mommy. So she stuck hers finger in meez bowl and got a little and put it on meez nose. Me stawrted lickin’ meez nose afur mommy kuld get da camera weady again, and as soon as me tasted it me ran fur da cat twee. Sissy be older and smawrter than me, so as soon as she saw what mommy did to me she was on da move away fwum all this. Mommy dusn’t like soup so why did she fink we wuld?. All paws down as a warm tweat and there won’t be any puttin’ it on sissy’s noms to get her to eat. So da next option was to twy it furozen. But mommy fawt we oughtta wait a few days afur twyin’ dat.
Well a few days later mommy was duin’ da dishes (dat be tweat time) and we was waitin’ so mommy pulled out da tway of ice pups. She put one each in our tweat bowls and got da camera weady. Again sissy looked at momm and da bowl and then walked away. Me sniffed and then headed fur da cat twee again. Don’t know how mommy planned to put dat on meez nose, but me wasn’t stickin’ wound to find out. So again we have to give these tweats a 4 paws down rating. We did ask our neighbot Buddy to twy them too, but hims wasn’t goin’ fur it eever. So it looks like even tho’ these be fur doggies and kitties they awe better off goin’ to da dogs who will eat anyfin’ includin’ yous shoes.
Separation is common as it sits.
We hate to have to give an all paws down review, so mommy sez she wuld give it a 1/2 fumm up cuz it be all natural, made in da USA and good fur ya’. Those awe all fings mommy likes to see. And reasons mommy wuld give a fumm up fur. But it dusn’t matter how good those fings awe ifin we won’t eat it. Fankfully Chewy.com carries a variety of tweats and noms and toys and supplements as well as supplies so weez not out in da cold. And member to check back wiff chewy ifin yous not find what you be lookin’ fur da furst time. They be addin’ new bwands all da time. Did you know they even have a wish list?

Meowllo everypawdy. Hope you had a gweat weekend. Most of da state of Oklahoma had no fone or innernet service since Caturday. We finally got it back in da wee hours of Monday meownin’. We wrote a Blest Sunday posty, but cuz today be such a purrtant day weez ‘cided not to post it. We will keep this short and sweet and just say dat weez weally ‘cited ‘bout BlogPaws and dat weez most likely will be offline duwin’ dat time cuz there’s no furee wifi in da rooms. It costs $10.00 a day, so weez purrawlly won’t be able to post or visit. Weez’ll be duin’ da bestest we can tween now and then but we also have to get weady, and mommy’s birffday be Wednesday. She sez she be old enuff to know better and dat’s all she be sayin’. MOL
Anyways as we sed today be purrtant. Today is Memorial day. Da day we pay twibute to those who serve and have served our countwy. Sum fought and sum died fur da very freedoms we have today. We wanna fank you all fur yous service. We awe purroud to be Americans and we awe gwateful to you dat when we lay our heads down to sleep at night we know we be safe cuz you be out there on da wall keepin’ us safe. We also wanna fank da furmilies of those who be servin and who served. We know many of you never saw yous luvved ones again, and many of yous luvved ones awen’t da same. We fank you fur yous sacwifice. We purray fur all of ya’ and we Salute you.
Meowllo everypawdy seems mommy needs to learn to sleep all day and get up at night. As we write this posty it be 10:30 p.m. and da stowm has ebbed fur da moment. It’s gunna pick back up in a few hours, but mommy will be worn out afur then and weady fur bed. So weez gunna miss purrime puter time. MOL Anyways, while da stowm be abated let me write meez posty. As you all know we be reviewers fur Chewy.com. We do luv Chewy. Well this mumff we got to twy sum canned noms. Mommy fawt it wuld be purrfect cuz they came in da small one meal cans so we kuld take ‘em to BlogPaws. Course we had to twy ‘em furst to make sure we wuld eat ‘em. No point in takin’ a food dat nopawdy will eat wight? Wight.
Anyways we got to twy da Hills Ideal Balance Crafted Savory Chicken Pot Pie with Buckwheat. Now ifin dat ain’t a name me dusn’t know what is. Nowmally we don’t like Hill’s foods, but these did look appetizin’ and da phosphorous content was low. Dat’s very purrtant fur sis Lexi’s diet these days. So mommy was purretty excited fur us too twy it. Furst things furst, mommy took photos of da can and then da noms inside da can and she finally scooped it out onto our plates. Then she got ready fur da action shots. You know da ones, when da flashy box is almost in yous plate while you twy to eat. Well it didn’t get in meez way cuz there was no way me was eatin’ dat stuff. Me wuldn’t even get close nuff to da plate fur mommy to get me in da shot. Me told her dat was fine cuz me didn’t like it, so no point in you seein’ me wiff it. So all paws down fwum me. But what ‘bout picky Lexi?
Well…what do ya’ know, she ate da whole plateful and asked fur more. Mommy got a little excited. She’s learned not to get too excited till sissy eats sumfin’ a kupple times these days. Once can sumtimes be a fluke. So mommy waited a kupple days and gave Lexi a plateful again, and again she ate it all up. So 4 paws up there. It’s diced so small dat it’s almost a pate style wiff very little gwavy. But ifin you have a pate only kitty, it might not be da bestest choice cuz it duz bweak up in da plate. We can’t figger out why these companies insist on all da veggies, but it has purrlenty of veggies included. Da furst ingredients awe chicken broth, chicken and pork liver and then a long list of veggies and vitamins and minerals. So we fawt we wuld share a can wiff Buddy, mr. W’s cat and see what hims fawt. You know a tie bweaker. MOL And Buddy bwoke da tie in favor. 4 paws up fwum him too. So there ya’ have it, sissy and Buddy like it fine wiff me as da hold out. So Hill’s must be duin’ sumfin’ wight.
But what about mommy you ask? Well she’s not fond of da long list of veggies included, but dat’s purretty much paw fur da course these days. And she did like dat it was lower in phosphorous than udder foods, so it’s good fur Lexi in dat sense. It dusn’t contain da carageenan, but duz have da guar gum. Again, sumfin’ dat be purretty much paw fur da course. But all in all mommy sed seein’ dat Lexi liked and ate it and da phosphorous is low she wuld definitely buy it fur sissy. So one fumm up fwum mommy. Here’s what da key benefits table at Hills Pet sez ‘bout da chicken pot pie.

Meowllo everypawdy weez twyin’ to hurry and get meez posty out afur da next big funderboomers followed by da lightin’ up of da sky. Now let’s see where did me leave off…Oh yeah me wanted a few more minutes of Zzzz’s So while mommy took care of meownin’ pawdee box business and sis Lexi played in da water me laid down in da shower chair and had a few. Sissy laid down on da vanity and meowed fur mommy to leave da water runnin’ till bwekky was weady so mommy woke me up to dwive her to da kitchen. Well of course me obliged, it is meez job after all. And it means me gets a few extwa licks of butter and/or ham spoon. Now weez not weally told ya’ what da ham spoon is so meez gunna tell ya’ today. Sissy told ya’ all da meds and supplements she be taking, and dat she gets ‘em in a tablespoon of ham and ham gwavy baby food. Well one of those supplements be fur UTI’s and can be used as a purrventative too. So after mommy mixes all of sissy’s medicines into da ham, she puts a little of dat D-Mannose on da spoon and mixes it up wiff hers finger and gives it to me. Oh da ham is divine. (looks off with a glint in her eyes)
Gimme da ham spoon mommy, it’s meez turn.
So anyways mommy and me headed fur da kitchen to fix bwekky. As me sed mommy be getting’ wound purretty slow these wet, rainy days, so it takes furever to make bwekky, so me stands watch. And sumtiimes me will have a good scwatch on da post, but me can still see and feel mommy so ifin she needs me it’s no purroblem. And sure nuff this meownin’ she needed me. Mommy was twyin’ to hurry and get our bwekky made and suddenly me felt dat sumfin’ wasn’t wight wiff mommy. So into da kitchen me went and pawed at hers ankles and meowed and twirled. See mommy likes to twy to stand up and fix our bwekky. She leans on da counter to stabilize her. But ifin she passes out, it dusn’t matter what she’s leanin’ on, she’s gunna fall. So after me danced a little me got da chair and bwought it over to her so she kuld sit down and finish makin’ bwekky. Bwekky all dun and me hopped up in hers lap to have me sum ham spoon and mommy hollered fur sissy to come eat.
Sissy came saunterin’ up and jumped on da table to have hers ham plate and canned noms and mommy took meez plate to da livin’ room where me eats. Mommy and me went back to da kitchen to get hers coffee and then we all settled in. Sissy and me stawrted eatin’ and mommy sat in hers sittin’ chair to have coffee, read emails and pass out. MOL Eventually mommy stawted getting’ wound a bit better as da day went on, but wiff all this rain and ole man awfur-itis hangin’ wound most of our days this mumff have been purretty much like this one. Mommy sez she wuld still be layin’ in bed ifin not fur Lexi and me and dat she be so fankfull to have us. We fink we be da lucky ones. So togedder we be a very gwatefull furmily.
