    Now, I know what you are thinking, what could I, Walter, a 4 month old Great Bernese (that’s a Great Pyrenees/Bernese Mountain Dog) know about GleamGlee Museum Paste?? A LOT actually! Hear me out. Zoomies I gotta tell ya, when I am tired I don’t collapse on the floor. Nope, not me. I zoom like that fastest dog in the world. I love to run like the devil is chasing me (or Mom, when she says “what is in your mouth??”). I like to side swipe all cabinets, occasionally, yes, I do lose my footing and I do make contact. Things do topple. Things do wobble. Things do fall to the floor. (Yes, Mom is yelling. Yes, it does make me run faster!) GleamGlee Museum Paste So, how does a big pup like me keep Mom from losing her marbles during my daily living room sprints? Enter GleamGlee Museum Paste. Mom finally got smart. Instead of banning me from the living room (which would never work because my fluffy butt is irresistible), she took this magical stuff and stuck it under all her favorite breakable things.

Let me tell ya furry friends, those taste delicious. The fluff inside is so much fun to toss around. Then when my human spots me…….. well, Mom yells “I KNEW he was too quiet!” followed by a quick game of chase. It’s exhilarating! Instagram Surfing Take two, the magic washable pee-pads that all over Instagram. The ones that supposedly work in shelters with no training needed? Pet’s just magically KNOW what they are for??

    Remember those days when your dog couldn’t wait to get out the door for their morning walk? Now, they seem content to snooze all day. Is this behavior just a phase, or could something more be going on? This blog post will explore four ways to determine if your dog is simply feeling lazy or experiencing a decline in mobility. Identifying Behavioral Clues Changes in your dog’s behavior can be subtle but significant. Pay close attention to how they interact with you and their environment.
