Last week, Trader Joe’s announced this new ranch dip and vegans were going absolutely BONKERS. This week, everyone’s all.. “um, I don’t think I really care for the ranch dip? Am.. I doing it right?” • I tried it first with veggies and chips, and didn’t really love it either. I tossed it with some cruciferous crunch and liked that better. It’s pretty good on this smoked Tofurky sandwich, and I think it would be *great* on a Beyond Burger. But, I probably wouldn’t buy it again. Have you tried it? What did you think? #swingandamiss
No Disney trip today, but I do have two more Pop-Up Disney TIPS that didn’t quite make it into my video! If you are an annual pass holder, you can now enter code POPUPPASSHOLDER27 when you buy your tickets online to save 40%! Tip number two - the exhibit is full of hidden Minnies, which you can hunt for on your own, or ask cast members to help you out if you get stuck. (There’s one in this photo 👆) • If you’re on the fence about whether you want to go, check out my video (#linkinbio) for a sneak peek, and my tips for your visit. Pop-Up Disney is only here until 9/2, so don’t miss it!
Just had to outrun a screaming mob of children who were intent on chasing the dogs I was walking. At first they were just screaming, and my dogs were scared / started barking. When I started jogging to get away quicker, THE KIDS STARTED RUNNING AFTER US.. and yelling “PUPPIES WAIT!!” They were inside of a schoolyard (which I usually avoid), but they chased us all the way to the end of the fence. • When I have a fearful dog with me, my job is to get them away from the situation as soon as possible. When I have Bruce with me, I’ll usually remind kids how to approach a dog and let them pet him. I mean, not THOSE kids. Those kids need Jesus. • Anyway, another friendly reminder to teach your kids not to chase animals, and not to approach/pet dogs they don’t know without asking! Little humans are the age group most likely to get bit by a dog, and this type of nonsense is why.

Finally tried one of the new vegan flavors from @baskinrobbins! (Yeah, “finally” - I know it’s only been out like 5 minutes - I said what I said.) 🍨 Anyway, it was definitely good, but I still like my old favorites from @nadamoo, @so_delicious, @talenti & @benandjerrys better. More affordable & accessible vegan options are always a good thing though, and I’m glad to see this! 🍦 Did you know that John Robbins turned down his position as heir to the B-R empire, became vegan, and wrote Diet for a New America way back in 1987? Human health, environmental concerns, and the treatment of animals were among his reasons for leaving. “I visited the large commercial dairies where Baskin-Robbins got its dairy products, and I saw how the cows were treated. It broke my heart to see them treated so poorly. I found the idea of profiting from such cruelty to be appalling.”
Took this good boy to the vet today to update some vaccines, and also to check on a little raspiness I’ve heard in his voice the past few weeks. I feel like most of the senior dogs I know end up getting a little raspy so I didn’t think much of it at first (except: omg, my boy is a senior!) Googling symptoms made me worry, and I just knew I’d feel better having a professional opinion to calm me down. The dogtor said he’s all good, she estimates he’s about 9 years old (I’ve been saying 10, so we’re going with 9 now, basically still a baby!) She said he looks great for his age. #veganpoodlepower • I also wanted to get him checked because he’s coming on a mini-road trip to a wedding with me next month. Fancy pants is staying in a hotel and everything! 🐩👑 I’ll be making a video about traveling with dogs, so let me know if you have any good tips OR questions! Swipe for a #throwback from the last trip we took together, which was apparently sometime in the 1970’s.
