How Cool!! Treats for your Furkids

Summer is here and kids and adults are looking for ways to cool off, The chiming of the Ice Cream truck has kids running to get their hands on sweet treats, Or you could be waiting for homemade popsicles to freeze either way you are cooling off and having fun. But what about your furry friend? I'm sure they are looking at you wishing they could have a lick of ice-cream or grape flavored popsicle, but you know that it might be too much sugar for them. So you research for cool treats aka Pupsicles  

 So I have done some research of my own to save you some time, Enjoy

Pool Day

I love finding treasure and what not along the road, The other day I found this little wading pool that was being tossed with the weekly garbage, My first thought would be a cute little garden in the back of the yard, but upon closer inspection I noticed that it had bone shaped designs on the bottom, How perfect would it be for Ariel to cool off in with the #Florida heat. I brought it home and it had one tiny hole, nothing a little duct tape could not fix and voila, #DoggiePool . Ariel just loves it

Future so bright I got to wear shades.

In our family everyone wears glasses, so one day we saw these cool looking shades and put them on Ariel, She stood very still and did not even attempt to take them off, ever since that day, I have found various glasses that I thought would look adorable on Ariel, Before you say anything, she did not mind and if she did I would not force her or cause any stress for her . The pictures featured here are just a few of the ones that we have put on her.
