Mommy has gotten many questions about Preston’s food so she thought a post about his food would help answer many of those questions.
Preston used to eat home-cooked meals but when preparing his food got too time-consuming, Mommy found a great alternative - The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Dog food.

THK offers high quality dog food made with human-grade ingredients. It is easy to prepare but still gives Mommy the pleasure of making Preston’s meals.

Mommy adds cooked meats and pureed veggies to the hydrated THK (THK can be served as-is. Additional meats and veggies are optional).

Preston does not normally get raw meats except raw sardines every couple of weeks. He also gets fish oil supplments (1200mg) daily.

FYI: A good article about dog food: The Best Food For Dogs.

Mommy and Daddy live in a fourth floor walk-up. Carrying groceries up can be quite tiresome. Thank goodness they got a little helper!

Preston has a nice winter wardrobe that keeps him warm and cozy all winter long.








…and he can always borrow from Mommy and Daddy too!

Moo tubes are by far the weirdest looking treats Mommy has gotten for Preston. These dried beef trachea are not as hard as rawhide so the risk of teeth cracking is lower but they are tough enough to give Preston plenty of chewing pleasure.
Mommy ALWAYS supervises Preston when giving him chew treats like moo tubes, bully sticks, rawhide or pig ears. Hope everyone does too. Mommy can’t stress enough how important this is!!

Mommy and Daddy just love to see how focus Preston is when working on his moo tube.




FYI: Mommy likes to order Preston’s moo tubes and bully sticks from thebestbullysticks.com. For some reason, the bully sticks from them are not as stinky as the ones from other places.

When a puggle would chose a laser pointer over his treats, it is definitely an obsession. When Preston wants to play laser pointer, he does not give Mommy and Daddy any chances to say “no”.
In the old days, he used to steal the laser pointer from the desk and beg Mommy to play with him.

These days, he has a new strategy.

Mommy is a collar junkie so Preston has a growing collection of collars.

It is hard to believe how tiny Preston’s first collar is. It only lasted 3 weeks.


More puppy collars…

For going to the dog park and swimming, Preston needs a rugged and waterproof collar. He wears his Dublin Dog collar.

Each of his collars has its own ID tag.

FYI: Mommy likes to order Preston’s collars from The Mod Dog. The Mod Dog offers a wide selection of custom-made collars at great prices and excellent quality.
The pawprint ID tags are made by www.pawprintpettags.com.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful christmas cards and presents! Preston especially loves checking the mail box during this time of the year. He couldn’t wait until Christmas morning to open his presents. Daddy’s attempt to hide the present Preston received from his puggle buddy, Bruschi, was unsuccessful.

Preston had a great Christmas holiday. Mommy, Daddy and Preston played New Super Mario Bros Wii together as a family!

Preston hopes everyone has a very merry Christmas!

There is a very special ornament on Mommy and Daddy’s Christmas tree this year.
