Classic Valentine’s Goodies
February 11, 2006 at 1:50 pm by DarlaKittWell, the Murphy dog finally gave up on the idea of buying jewelry for his darling Daisy this Valentine’s Day. He doesn’t want to “move too fast,” but still wants to show her how much he cares. The two of us were perusing the wonderful selection of Valentine’s Day Dog Gifts on Fun Stuff for Dogs .Com, and decided to go with the classic combo of candy and flowers, with a nice mushy card.

However, we know that Miss Daisy isn’t much of a candy gal. She likes her carbs, and is more of a pastry lady. So we decided to go with the Gourmet Heart Cookies Gift Crate. These extra-large peanut-butter cookies are hand-frosted with dog-friendly carob frosting, and contain no preservatives. Plus, they come in a sturdy, reusable solid wood crate that can corral all of Daisy’s toiletry products, which are currently cluttering up her mama’s bathroom.
Okay, now for the flowers. I suppose Murphy could present Daisy with a bouquet of real, sweetly-scented roses or carnations, but we think she’d appreciate a yummy bouquet of cookies a lot more. This Dog Cookie Bouquet is just as beautiful, smells just as good, but you can eat it! The edible “flowers” are five hand-dipped and decorated bone-shaped cookies, nestled in a feather boa bed, tucked into a lovely be-ribboned flower pot.

Finally, we all know that the Valentine’s Day card is the most important part of the whole gift-giving experience, so Murphy took his time selecting just the right sentiment for his sweet Daisy. He ultimately chose the “My Heart Belongs to You” Crunch Card. Crunch Card? Yup. After Daisy reads the sweet words on her Valentine, she can eat it! (Have you noticed the pattern here?) These tasty greetings are made from 100% edible and digestible flattened rawhide and come with a colorful envelope, because guess what? They’re mailable!
