The Mother Lode

Here in the UK us dogs are treat-deprived. OK, we have the usual boring biscuits and stuff, but we don't get anywhere near as much exciting junk as our US pals. I'm always drooling when I read about other dog bloggers and their bully sticks and beef tendons and back straps. Hey, I didn't even know what a back strap was!

So J1 ordered me a shedload of stuff from one of the few US websites willing to ship a whole heap of dog treats over to the UK. After a tortuously long delay the parcel arrived yesterday. Here it is - The Mother Lode!


I'd already started unpacking in this photo...

I think I might be busy for quite some time...

maybe it would be a good idea if u start a 'jackson dog treats barkery' at UK

Hey, same thing here in Malaysia too. None of the treats here are as exciting as the ones where my fellow overseas pals live especially in the US! Malaysia is a Muslim country so no porky pork-pork products are allowed to be sold here eventhough they're for dogs not hoomans. So everytime we receive bully sticks from our friends, we really make a BIG deal out of them!

Love licks,

Jackson Old Bean...looks like you did a good job ordering...I will echo Asta and say to let us know if there is stuff you cannot find, we can ship. But...I must say I really enjoyed the stuff Faya sent from Switzerland! Those fish treat things were sublime.

Well J at least you can get the mother load into your country. Our damn country would confiscate the lot......sigh.
It's a good think the country that brought the world McDonalds hasn't forgotten its canine friends.

Enjoy the treats. We will continue to drool.

Hugs and tail wags

Oh Sweet Jackson...Mumsie will only buy us the beef "parts" or piggie parts if she can't figure out what anatomical part of the cow or whatever it is...otherwise she gets queasy...sad ain't it...

Hey...so did you let Dunstan in the club?? We're gonna go to the website and see if you posted a pic of him....

Kirby said...

Hi Jackson,

I think it is so wrong that you do not have the treat selection in the UK that we have over here. I'm happy that your parents can order online and get you a nice supply of delicious treats! Enjoy!!

Your pal,
Kirby

Asta Marie said...

Jackson...How nice of your Mom to order all that stuff for you from the U.S. I hope you get to enjoy it all..it sure looks good...I have had a bully stick or two myself and I can tell you that they are delicious...we are back from the country and have lots of stories to tell...we got Mom a new mind for Mother's Day.

It's ok. I haven't a clue what they are on about either half the time.

Just that they get an awful lot to eat.
