Treat Jars

Hey Pals,
A while back our wirey pals Agatha & Archie posted 'What's on top of your fridge?' So we thought we would play this game too, except......there is nothing on top of our fridge for us. We have cupboards above our fridge so there really isn't any room to put things on there. But we do have several treat jars all over on the counter tops.

This basket holds some of our beef tendon treats. Our bottle of salmon oil sits behind the basket and our Solid Gold Seameal Powder too.
These are 2 kinds of tiny treats that we get. Both of them are low in calories.
These 2 jars don't exactly hold treats, but it is things for us. It has our flower essences & my pills I need to take sometimes when it's thundering outside. It also holds benedryl for emergency use.
This jar with the big moose on it holds some more of our beef tendons or little thin rawhide chews.
And this jar holds our biscuits.
There is also a tiny spice drawer above that jar that holds our medications. So basically, almost all of the jars on the cupboard hold things for us, hehehehe.

Now pals, be sure to show us 'What's on top of your fridge?' for you or on your cupboards.

Little Snickers has been kinda bummed the last few weeks. Her leaking urine problem while sleeping has come back. It started almost 2 years ago & she was put on the medication Proin 50. After several months, the Army Of Four gang told us about a natural supplement that they were using for their same problem. So Mama ordered it for Snickers & gave it a try. Well it was working great until a few months ago. Mama tried giving Snickers a higher dose of the supplement but it hasn't been working and the leaking has been worse. So yesterday Mama called the vet's office & Snickers will need to be put back on the Proin 50 probably for life. Proin 50 contains the medication Phenylpropanolamine. It works on the nervous system by tightening the internal bladder sphincter muscle and relaxes the dog's bladder wall to prevent accidental leakage of urine. It's really no big deal, just another pill to take 2 times per day. At least the supplements worked for a while. Not all natural supplements work for every pet.

'Don't hate me because I leak.......'
Wirey Hugs!

Amici said...

You two get a lot of treats!! I know when to come when mine get boring. :P

We hope the leakage problem resolves with the medication. I know you are not old, but older humans get that problem so you are not alone. (And we're starting to get A LOT of older people [80 and up])

Thanks for the tip about checking my sugar. I know the vet has checked my thyroid and that is okay but I am not sure about my sugar. Thank-you!

Daisy said...

Wow, you have lots of treat jars! That's very wonderful. I just have one. But it holds lots of treats. Snickers, I am sorry about your leaky problem, but I do not think anyone will love you any less.

Amber-Mae said...

Snickers, we're not going to hate you becoz you leak I don't know for what reason. I mean, we all leak sometimes, right? No worries, just take that supplement your mom bought for you & hopefully it will help.

Love licks,

i love the jars that you have on your counter top! all moose-patterned! :) sadly, there are no jars of treats for me in the house. if i want a treat i get plain bread. i do love it, but it just doesn't seem as fancy.

love..
