So I think I happen to have the coolest match. She has a gorgeous Bengal cat, rides motorcycles (Honda for life!), knits, and is also child free like yours truly. And she is wicked at picking gifts for the world's most destructive dogs!

I am constantly on the quest for something that can stand up to my destructo-mutts and that is easy on my wallet. I've tried countless balls, chews, kongs, etc. and nothing has stood up. But after opening my box of goods from my awesome match I have been sitting in silence for almost 3 hours. That's a rare gift in itself. Let's introduce the hounds to get things rolling.

In the blue corner we have Miller, an Irish Wolfhound/Husky. Athletic, gigantic, canines like knives, smart as whip, handsome, and a big cuddly mamas boy! Erm.. I mean super tough guy DESTROYER OF TOYS! This heavyweight loves toys, but always manages to wreck them! Bones are no match, black kongs are no match.. If it's indestructible he can destruct it!

In the red corner we have Bea, lab/rottie/rescue mutt supreme. Don't let her 60 lbs fool you, because she has wrecking power and a lust for destruction. Chunky, lumpy, fat, meatheaded, but no stuffy stands a chance! All her sleeping and eating just keeps her prepped for when there are toys to destroy! Because if it's still squeaking then Miller can still annoy her.

First thing out of the box was a lovely handwritten note.

Followed by two bags of treats that happen to be made locally for my marvellous match.

What's this? An ornament for one of my aquariums! How lovely to include my guppies (Purpdrank, Fireball, Snakeboots, Tobias, Vlad, RainbowSparkleFish, Lyretail, Replacement, and Bumblebee) and tetras! Fun story: when I was shopping for my match I fell in love with a koi betta and ended up bringing him home along with several hundred dollars of stuff for him. He's happy, I'm broke, and I'm taking name suggestions.

After that I pulled out a lovely little doggy cloth she knit me. Because I deserve a present after putting up with 180 lbs of mutt. I don't want to use it on those dirty birds though. They step in their own poop.

Next up was a bag of tea. Because she creeped and saw that I like tea. I don't just like tea. I have a crippling obsession/addiction and now it's being fuelled by outside sources. Excellent.

Then came two bully sticks. In the note she wrote me she said she didn't know what bully sticks were initially. For those who are still unaware, I implore you to google it. The term "pizzle" is used. And my dogs LOVE them...

.....

Anyways. At the bottom there were 2 sets of antlers. Big ones! She says she got them from a friend who hunts. How absolutely economical. I love getting antlers for my pooches because they love them and they last so long, but antlers are very expensive, especially for large ones for my large dogs! These are EXCELLENT. And such a hit!

Thank you thank you thank you! We have been so spoiled by such a wonderful match! I'm going to have a cup of tea and revel in the silence and peace that comes from busy, happy dogs. What a treat to not have two large dogs climbing you, whining at you, or wrestling loudly with each other for one evening!

Thanks again! And I hope you get equally spoiled!
