I am the proud fur-mama of an adorable four-year-old, twenty-two-pound Sheep-Dog/Chihuahua mix named Oliver! He enjoys spending time with his mommy, hanging out with his big brother Valentino, and going on puppy play dates.
To help keep Oliver healthy, I feed him Wellness Complete Health® Adult Deboned Chicken & Oatmeal. It contains human grade deboned chicken along with fresh fruits and veggies, grains and vitamin and minerals. It’s very tasty and he loves it!
He also gets SmartCanine™ Combo Ultra Soft Chews each day. These provide him with joint, digestion, and skin and coat support in a tasty soft chew.
To provide a little back story on how he became a part of my family, it was a seemingly normal day of work when I discovered my coworker’s neighbors were desperately trying to find homes for an accidental litter of puppies. They owned a sixty-pound female Sheep-Dog and a five-and-a-half-pound male Chihuahua. With such a huge size difference between the two, they never expected them to have puppies, but much to their surprise one day they came home and found nine puppies on their kitchen floor!
Fast forward several weeks later to me standing in their kitchen trying to choose one. They were all so cute, but I was immediately drawn to the two puppies with the longer sheep dog style fur. One was a female with an all-black face and the other a male with white strip down the center of his face. As I was asking questions about the two, the boy jumped up and gave me a kiss and instantaneously stole my heart! We have had an inseparable bond ever since.
Before my days of working at SmartPak, I worked on a horse farm in Pennsylvania and Oliver came to work with me every day. He rode along in the Kubota to help feed horses in the mornings and evenings. He was always by my side helping me clean stalls and occasionally munching on a poop chip when he thought mommy wasn’t looking. They are a favorite delicacy of his. Another favorite activity of his was leading trail rides with his mommy and big brother. When he’s at the barn during the winter, Oliver stays warm in his favorite doggy blanket, a Weatherbeeta 1200D Dog Parka purchased from SmartPak.
In April, Oliver made the big move with his mommy from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts, where she accepted a position at SmartPak. He is very nervous and very excited for his transition to office life with her when he becomes SmartPak’s newest Canine Employee in the very near future!
Oliver is precious! Thanks for giving him a great home. Best of luck with your new position with SmartPak.
