I’m thankful for friends, siblings and dog treat Advent Calendars! Mom has been really busy with work and our sports lately. She totally forgot that now is the time to get our Advent calendars! Lucky for us, four of them arrived by sleigh at our house.
Sparkle, Puffin, and their mom are long time blog followers of ours. The other day they mentioned that they gotten their Advent calendars. Talk about good friends who look out for each other! Mom, Olivia, and Nelson were on their road trip to Illinois. They decided they must find an Aldi to get calendars before they are sold out. Some years they sell out right away, other years, they are there for a little while. After the trial the first day, they stopped on their way back to the hotel. Score – four adorable Advent treat calendars for us all!
We love the package they are in this year. Now we have to wait until December 1st to open the first door. There are three kinds of treats, so we never know what we will get each day. The last day, Christmas Day, is a special big treat, I can’t wait!
Mom normally gets our dog treat Advent calendars at Aldi or Trader Joes as they are good and not too expensive. Remember, we need to buy four, sharing is not a good option in the season of giving. If you are looking for a super yummy, higher end one, we would go with the Best Bully Sticks Holiday Dog Treat Advent Calendar. We got all four of ours for less than one of those. If Mom only had one dog, she would get one.
Are you worried about your furry waistline, and would you like to get fit? We have an idea for you and your human. AKC is trying to get dogs more fit, so they offer tips on how to do a 5K with your dog. You pay a fee for the medal after you complete the 5K and the money all goes to a good cause. We all have our AKC Fit titles already, so we are not going to do this. but it may be fun for some other dogs and their humans. Getting in shape for the holidays is a great idea! Just google how to do an AKC Fit Dog Turkey Trot 5K.

I need to get mom going on finding me an Advent calendar too! Here’s hoping!
Now is the time before they all sell out. Mom about flipped when she realized she had forgotten about it.
I can’t believe it is Christmas. Thanksgiving hasn’t even happened but the early bird gets the worm
We don’t decorate or anything for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but we do have to get our Advent calendars now, or we won’t get any. Mom also shops for Christmas all year long and if she sees something, she buys it and puts it in the special closet for gifts.
Mom thought of you when she was at ALDI’s this week and saw the pup calendars! Glad your mom got them for you. We were not so lucky….don’t know what is with this shopping mom of ours… Jimmy Parker and Olive
What? That is a real bummer. I wonder if they still have some? We are super lucky our friends reminded Mom and there was an Aldi near the hotel.
that is the best calerndar we ever saw… wow, how ghreat!! we hope the mama finds one too, we are afraid to get a diy calendar by our dad….
Your dad might put tools and stuff in it, that would be hard on your teeth.
We have that AKC Turkey Trot medal for this year!!!! Our Mom saw that and has been annoying all her friends about joining us. Since we average about 3 miles most mornings, we have done that trot a whole lotta times already. Mom has participated in the local Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, but she has to leave us at home since they haven’t decided to allow dogs to participate yet.
We didn’t get the medal, but we put back the 3 miles every morning and then more in the evening. Mom wants to do the human Turkey Trot in our area, but no dogs, so she won’t go. She wants to run the 5k with Olivia but no dogs. Such a bummer! Enjoy your medal. They are cute.
That’s pretty cool gang and of course you need four of them and maybe a spare or so too! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Four is perfect. We are all set now and happy!
Hooray for yummy treats! I’m glad your mom found them.
We are lucky our friends reminded us to get them.
Friends are the best!! We are glad you were able to get your calendars before they sold out.

We are really lucky Mom was reminded or we may have missed out this year.
Thanks for sharing the AKC fitness thing. We might have to check that out though Elsa is not into running, she might enjoy the walk with others. Love the Advent Treat Calendar for dogs. What a brilliant idea!
The fitness thing is for running or walking. The AKC just wants to get people and pets moving to stay fit. There are too many of us and we each do so many miles a day, it would be silly for us.
