I don’t know about you, but I’ve been spending a LOT of time reading recently. I’ve always been a book-lover and avid reader, but since the coronavirus shutdown, I’ve been devouring just about every book I can get my hands on.

Most recently, I’ve been reading The Dog Lady of Mexico by Alison Sawyer Current. It’s a fictional novel, based on a true story. It’s heartwarming, inspiring, and sure to tug at the heartstrings of dog lovers and animal rescue supporters everywhere.

From the book’s back cover: 

Rose’s lifelong dream was to move to a tropical paradise and continue her work as an artist. She imagined waking up by the ocean, sipping her coffee on the beach and heading to her pottery studio. There she would spin sun-drenched inspirations while her husband would share his passion for food at his ocean side cantina. It was all coming together for Rose when a good deed changed her life forever. Little did she know that this small favor would gradually become an obsession that she could not ignore. Take a trip with The Dog Lady of Mexico – a fictional novel based on a true story. Follow this heart-wrenching journey of love, loss and survival while building an animal rescue on the tiny island of Isla Mujeres in Mexico.

Part of the book sale proceeds will go to support Isla Animals, the rescue organization Alison founded in Mexico in 2004.

The Dog Lady of Mexico is available in paperback here, and is also currently FREE to read with Kindle Unlimited.

If you haven’t done so already, you can sign up here for 2 months FREE of Kindle Unlimited ($19.98 value). You get unlimited access to over 1 million books, magazines, audio narration, and more. And you don’t need a Kindle device…read on any phone, tablet, PC or device using the Kindle app.

July 22, 2020
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

We’re back with this month’s Super Chewer Box review! We’re still stuck at home during the Coronavirus shutdown, but the pawtastic dog toys, treats and chews in month’s Super Chewer box have definitely kept us busy, active and occupied! The theme of this month’s Super Chewer Box is World Chomps, and even though the 2020 Summer Olympic Games were postponed due to the pandemic, this box brings the best of games and sports to you and your dog. Keep reading for a full breakdown of everything you need to know about this dog subscription box made especially for extreme chewers!

The Super Chewer Box from the folks at BarkBox is designed for dogs who are toy destroyers and need more long-lasting meaty chews. If you’ve been thinking about getting your dog a subscription box but worry the toys and treats won’t last, then this one is for you.

Daisy’s subscription has been customized for her size and food sensitivities, and your dog’s plan can be, too.

Sizes are: “Small but Mighty” for up to 20 pound dogs, “Middle Weight” 20-50 pounds, “Large and in Charge” for dogs 50+ pounds.

Every Super Chewer Box includes $40+ worth of dog stuff:

  • 2 Extremely durable dog toys (plus free toy replacement, no questions asked)
  • 2 Full-size bags of natural dog treats (made in USA)
  • 2 long-lasting meat chews (made in USA)
  • Free US Shipping
  • Satisfaction Guarantee

Read on to see what was in the July Super Chewer Box.

Then be sure to use our exclusive coupon code: WOOFWOOFMAMA to get a FREE extra month added to any plan! (yes, even the monthly no commitment plan)

Here’s a look at what was in this month’s Super Chewer Box along with the retail values of each item if purchased separately:

July Super Chewer Box Dog Toys

Take a Lap Dog Toy ($14 retail value) This durable dog toy is also a treat puzzle. Made with rubber, this toy has an opening at each end so you can fill it with treats. Daisy definitely gets a workout rolling this thing for a lap or two trying to get the treats out. I even stuffed it with part of the chew stick that was included in this month’s box. That really too some time to retrieve and kept her busy while I was working.

Archewy Target Dog Toy ($14 retail value) This toy is seriously heavy and best for outdoor throwing so you don’t break anything in the house! It’s a nylon arrow with a rubber bullseye all in one. Best of all, it’s got a natural smoke scent.

July Super Chewer Box Dog Treats

Perfect Ten Pork Dog Treats ($5 retail value) Real pork is the first ingredient in these soft and chewy dog treats. They’ve also got pea powder and flaxseed as wholesome ingredients in these chompion snacks.

Lamb Laurels Dog Treats ($5 retail value) Daisy loves lamb, so these are a real winner! We love receiving dog treats that are made in the USA with wholesome ingredients we can recognize when we check the label.

Pork Stick Dog Chew Treat ($3 retail value) A satisfying and long-lasting dog treat. It’s tough but can be broken into pieces to make it last longer.

Peanut Butter and Carob Chew Stick Dog Treat ($3 retail value) We always love the Super Chewer chew sticks, and peanut butter carob is one of our favorite recipes.

Just like with the toys, every Super Chewer treat comes with a happiness guarantee. If you or your dog don’t love something, let them know and Super Chewer will send you something else and help you to personalize your dog’s box for future deliveries.

Super Chewer Box Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox Super Chewer edition had $44 worth of dog toys, treats and chews if you were to purchase them all separately. That makes the subscription a real bargain when you consider that plans starts as low as $29/month with free US shipping included.

Plus, these dog toys are designed to be extra durable, for extreme chewers and toy destroyers. And they are original toys designed exclusively for the Bark company, so you can’t buy them anywhere else!

BarkBox Review + Coupon: Summer Olympics Edition

July 20, 2020
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Our July BarkBox has arrived and that means it’s time for this month’s BarkBox review, where Daisy and I give you an insider’s look at all the dog toys, treats and surprises that come with the world’s most popular dog subscription box.

This month’s BarkBox is dedicated to the 2020 Summer Olympics that were supposed to happen this July-August in Tokyo but have been postponed til 2021 due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. This is the first time in history that the Summer Olympic Games have been postponed rather than cancelled. Although we are very sad about the postponement, we are super happy that BarkBox decided to keep the Olympics theme!

As with each month’s dog subscription box from BarkBox, this one included 2 fun toys inspired by the theme, plus 2 full-size bags of dog treats and a tasty meat chew. You can expect a value of $30-$40 worth of dog toys and treats in each month’s BarkBox, for as low as $21/month including Free US Shipping. Read on to see what we thought of our July BarkBox.

Daisy gets the large dog box which is shown in all our BarkBox reviews, but whatever size your dog is, they will get the same number of toys and treats in appropriate sizes. Treats are also customized based on whether you specify food allergies in your dog’s BarkBox profile.

We hope you’ll stay for our BarkBox review but if you are just here for the BarkBox coupon, promo code WOOFWOOFMAMA will get you a FREE extra month added to any order of 1-month or more at BarkBox.com/woofwoofmama.

July BarkBox Dog Toys

Rocco Socco Dog Toy ($10 retail value) This soft and squeaky raccoon dog toy flips inside out and turns into a soccer ball. Perfect for a game of fetch, and adorable in his olympic athletic attire!

Retrieve the Gold Dog Toy ($10 retail value) A dog toy that can also be worn as a medal. It’s got an adorable emoji face, giant disc squeaker and nylon strap with velcro that detaches easily for safety and convenience. And in this game, everyone gets a participation medal, regardless of the judges’ scores!

BarkBox dog toys are always super cute and unique, and the BarkBox folks never fail to surprise and delight us with something new in each month’s box. Not every dog gets the same toys in their BarkBox, so here’s a look at some of the variations.

July BarkBox Dog Treats

Treaties Peanut Butter Recipe Dog Treats ($5 retail value) The packaging looks just like the Wheaties box with a famous Olympian on the cover, except it’s an adorable pup-thlete. The perfect post workout treat.

Treaties Lamb Dog Treats ($5 retail value) The snack of chompians! Every athlete needs their protein, and lamb is the first ingredient in these tasty snacks.

Peanut Butter and Carob Stick Dog Treat ($3 retail value) We always love the chew stick that’s included each month in Daisy’s BarkBox. To make them last longer, and control her portions, I break off a piece at a time.

We think this month’s BarkBox deserves a GOLD MEDAL, but if you ever receive a toy or treat that doesn’t make you happy or that isn’t suitable for your dog, know that BarkBox will send you a FREE replacement with no questions asked. You don’t even have to send back the unwanted item. They encourage you to donate or share it, and will send you a replacement more to your dog’s liking! It’s part of their Scout’s Honor Satisfaction Guarantee that comes with every delivery.

There are always extras and fun surprises in each BarkBox, so be sure to check the inserts that come with your dog’s box. This month’s extra surprise is that the cardboard insert is designed so that you can turn your dog’s BarkBox into a podium where they can pose with their medal. Very cute as a photo prop for your dog’s Instagram or other social media profiles.

BarkBox Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $33 worth of dog toys and  treats if you were to purchase them all separately.

That’s a great value when you consider that subscription prices start at $21/month with free US Shipping.

In addition to saving money, we also love the WOW-factor and excitement of getting a new delivery of surprises each month. It’s a chance to discover new dog treats and toys that we might not have known about otherwise. And the BarkBox toys are really Instagram-worthy, making them the perfect photo props in addition to some amazing and unique dog toys!
