Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays! There's so much to celebrate - Lots of birthdays and holidays! Luc and I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season filled with love, fun, great health and prosperity, and tons of Coton hugs and kisses.

I also wanted to share a fun find - the Lickimat. Luc would eat 24/7 if he could. Seriously! I'm always looking for ways to make him work for his treats so they last longer. I freeze some peanut butter (or almond butter, apple sauce, smashed banana, or even some of his dog food) on this mat and it keeps him happy for A LONG TIME! It's also great for Cotons who like to lick or who need some calming due to separation anxiety. I like it better than Kong toys because it doesn't roll all over the place and leave a messy floor - plus it's inexpensive and easy to clean.
