A Little Advent Treat Bag for the Doggy or the Cat

Our four-legged family members deserve a few extra treats during the Advent season. We do not own a dog but have friends who trust us with the care of their precious furry guys when they are out of town. Here’s a lovely idea for the furry guys.

Carlos and TJ are Chihuahua mixes. Both are rescues from Los Angeles and ended up in Vancouver with their loving forever parents.

Here’s a lovely idea for the furry guys.
