Wobble Wag Giggle Ball Review

The Rolling Hick-Up

Is what this ball should have been named haha... But no it really does sounds like its hick-uping. Anca loves this ball. She wasn't sure at first, but when we gave it a roll outside it was on! She runs for it. She can pick it up. I can play with it with her or she can play with it by herself. She spent a good 20 minuts chewing on it and there's not a scratch on it. We are very happy with this ball. You can pick up your own for around $15 at a Petsmart if you have one near you. If you don't. Like I don't. You can get these from the Home Shopping Network online 2 for $20. HERE is a link in case you want to check it out. So I'm really excited to see how these hold up and I will post and update on this review in a month to show you all how its lasted !

Here is what it looked like brand new right out of the package!

Now we are all tuckered out time to say goodnight hope you enjoyed our review !

BarkBox UnBoxing May 2015

Unboxing

We got our May 2015 box in today, and we are going to share with you what we got. For those of you who read last months unboxing post you know Anca is going to go through it first and tell you what she thinks. When she is done I'll give my breakdown/reveiw and an itemized list of what we revived. Oh and there is a Coupon code at the bottom too! So lets dig in ! Once again we got box size size just right 20-50 lbs.

1^st we got this awesome bouquet of flower toy. 2 are crinkly and 2 are squeaky with crinkly stems. Better yet when you take the “paper” off it splits into 4 different flowers to play with! So you can share with your friend or fur sister!..... or not ….

and isn't the “paper” just adorable!

2^nd we got this stretchy, bouncy, floaty tug toy! I don't even need words to tell you how much I love this toy you can tell by my face!

3^rd we got these awesome salmon and veggie treats. These are delish and I love them.

And Last we got a turkey chew, and I loved this too. I say loved because I have already polished it off and searched the entire house to make sure there was no crumbs left over. Barkbox was defiantly telling the truth with there little comic inside the box. Well that's it I'm done. I love everything again! Now you can hear from mom.

Breakdown

Now I am going to tell you my honest opinion on each item. Tell you a bit about them, and how much they cost. Hope you enjoyed Anca's Barkbox adventure this month!

Barkmaid Flowers Bouquet

These are just great all around. Every flower is different and fun. Even the wrapping (paper) holding the flowers together is just awesome and detailed. 2 that make crinkle noises and 2 that have squeakers inside held together by a velcro newspaper. Its really 4 toys in one, and I couldn't be happier with it.

West Paw Design Zogoflex Bumi Tug Toy

Now time will only tell the true durability of this toy it seems to be to me so far,and it says “tough as your dog”. Its very flexible, stretchy and it floats. We took Anca outside to play with it right away and she loved it. She would not give it up even after we got back inside.

Plato Pet Treats Farmers Market

Okay this treat stinks so don't smell it like I did haha... But Anca and Gizmo (the chihuahua) loved these! The 1^st ingredient is salmon, and the next 10 are all veggies! How much better then that can you get. Very happy just wish there was more in the bag.

Etta Says Turkey Chew

Now I do wish the chews would last longer they have been high in quality. This all turkey chew is packed high in protein. It doesn't have any coloring, preservatives, or artificial fillers. Anca loved it, and the chihuahua got a taste. She liked it so much she stole a chunk. So that was a winner here.
