The wonderful folks at West Paw Design in Bozeman, Montana -- who make our favorite dog beds among other great pet products -- kindly sent us a huge box of donated goodies yesterday. Blind Goldie with the incredible nose (see Monday's post) went absolutely crazy because she KNEW there were soft toys with squeakers inside that box! She kept trying to rip the box open, using her teeth and her paws, whining and barking with anticipation. We couldn't leave her unsupervised because we knew she'd shred the box and have everything scattered all over the house. (Been there, done that.)
I took the photo today after we had opened the box. That's Goldie eyeing (well, really "nosing") the contents ... she can hardly believe how many things are in there. And in the background is Bailey, who's waiting for Goldie to get into the box and start dishing out the goodies onto the floor. He's seen this routine before.
We told Goldie we were going to wait until Christmas -- oh no! -- to hand out the presents, but we did give her as a consolation prize the red bone toy you see in the photo. She had the squeaker ripped out in a matter of minutes and was back looking for another toy.
Sigh.

FANTASTIC! West Paw, hats off to you for giving these great little fur babies such a wonderful gift. These beautiful fur kids are very lucky to have such wonderful & dedicated caretakers at the ranch and friends like you. (P.S. West Paw, Love your products) and as a fellow Montanan love that they are made here!

Great greetings from West Paw Designs for the pups! That Goldie is so cute! Glad to know she got one of the toys for being so persistent. That's a great photo & thanks for sharing with us that aren't there.
Hugs,

Wow...what an awesome gift from West Paw! Thank you for your generosity guys! It would be difficult for anyone to wait until Christmas for these treats.
You better hide this box well or the dogs will be bothering you for a very long month!
