🎶She’s beauty and she’s grace, she’s going to bite your face 🎶 —- Ruby’s updated version of the Miss United States lyrics from Miss Congeniality. 10/10 girls movie night with my cattle dog. Except the background noise of her constantly licking her pupsicle…but it’s a small price to pay for a calm heeler.

Proof your hard work in new places. It doesn’t have to be training class or pet friendly stores or dog parks. Go to a plaza before it opens, the parking lot of a store after it closes, an empty park on leash, literally ANYWHERE YALL. Just leave your house! New places mean new distractions!

This is not me saying I have a perfectly trained dog. 45% of the time, my cattle dog is a high octane ball of energy that doesn’t have an off switch. But if you only train good manners and obedience at home, your dog’s training will probably go out the door with you as soon as you leave the house.

Unpopular opinion: having a high-energy dog is basically a part-time job you never clock out of.

Ruby has absolutely squashed my couch-rot era. Between training, enrichment, dog sports, and keeping this tiny chaos machine mentally stimulated, I get plenty of steps in. It’s been good for me.

BUT CAN A GIRL GET FIVE MINUTES?! 😅

Sometimes I need a break from being my dog’s full-time activities director. Wag And Bright Supply Mighty Marrow is one of Ruby’s fav chews- obsessed with the taste, it lasts for days, it isn’t rock hard like some chews, and it’s designed to help clean her teeth.

But here’s the thing nobody talks about enough: dog-mom anxiety when your dog is chewing. 🙃 I love giving Ruby something she enjoys, but the thought of her choking on a chew when I look away for two seconds genuinely stresses me out.

That’s why the Chewise Bully Stick Holder holder has been such a game changer for us. The metal teeth grip the chew, helping secure it as it gets smaller, so I feel more comfortable letting Ruby enjoy her snack without feeling like I have to stare at her every single second. (Supervision still matters, of course!)

Because enrichment should be good for BOTH ends of the leash. 🩷 Your dog gets a satisfying chew, and you get a tiny moment to breathe. We are excited to be a Wag And Bright Supply partner!

We aren’t still mad about the eagles blowing that huge lead… we are totally over it. 🦅🏈.

At least Ruby enjoyed the game with her CANOPHERA split deer antler from Chewy , while looking good in her NFL game day bling from Bruce’s Big Dog Bead Boutique (ruby10 to save on your own beaded collar!)
