I’ve been dealing with a disability for several years now. It depresses me and makes me feel as though my life is not as good as it used to be. There is one constant in my life though and that is Rocky’s love for me. No matter if I am laying in bed or outside on a walk with him, he loves me unconditionally and is always happy to be with me.
I savor those moments with Rocky. He brings a smile to my face on even the worst-pain days. He has become my companion when I take small walks to keep my joints in working order and trying to lose that weight that has been plaguing me for years.
Whenever we head back in the house, Rocky gets to savor something too. He gets to savor the treats that I give him for being a good walker (can you imagine how a 70 pound dog walking badly?!?). He has become really good on a leash and doesn’t cause me any unnecessary pain or discomfort on our walks. For that, he gets a very special surprise when we get home.
Waggin’ Train has recently introduced 3 new treat varieties for dog owners. They are Waggin’ Train Chicken Jerky Minis, Waggin’ Train Homestyle Chicken Jerky Tenders, and Waggin’ Train Chicken Jerky Curls. Rocky loves these treats more than any we have given him in recent weeks, and he gets a lot of treats!
I like giving Rocky treats that look good. I feel as though I am giving him something “real” that he can enjoy. I don’t want him eating human food, but he deserves some good treats when he is a good dog. The Waggin’ Train treats smell good and look good too.
When I get to savor moments with Rocky, he makes me a happy mommy. When he savors his new Waggin’ Train treats, he is a happy dog. Together, we savor our moments together and enjoy each other’s company. That is love and why spending time with my dog is good for my health!

I don’t have dogs.
I have two cats Snotty & Lucy and we snuggle a lot!

My Pug is here for me every pain day. She wants to lay close to me when she senses I hurt. Yes, smiles daily, she found her pretty flower she wears yesterday and started playing with it like it was a toy…petals all over. I have to take her potty, so that makes me use hurting body even when I don’t’ want to..don’t use it, you loose it. The treats, I am still leery to buy those since all the news. Maybe one of these days.
