Fresh Food for the Falcon Cowdog, Cowboy

IMG_5237

We got Cowboy when he was six months old, back in 2001.  It was clear that he was mistreated by the previous owner and for the longest time, he would just ‘cow down’ anytime you got near him.  Me and him became close though and once he started to trust me, he began to trust [...]

Dog Feedback Needed

Walmart wants your feedback when it comes to dogs and their food.  We have always bought Ol’Roy ourselves in the biggest bag possible, usually 50lbs.  In fact, when we got Rambo, we bought some ‘high-end’ food that was small bites for his little teeth and you know what? He would not eat it. Instead he [...]

Cars 2, Mater’s Mission, and Fun Prizes!
