Why I'm Obsessed with BarkPost
A little over 2 years ago, I adopted a puppy from Homeward Pet. You can read all about Zoey in a previous blog post. Since rescuing Zoey, I've been a sucker for dogs. Anywhere I see them, I ask the owner if I can pet them, especially puppies. More often than not, I'm rewarded with quite the tail wag. About a year ago, I heard from a friend about a subscription box called BarkBox. Basically, for $19+ a month, you get a box of dog goodies shipped to your front door. I had a subscription for a little over 6 months the first time around, and loved the treats Zoey got. The toys were pretty much worthless, she always managed to rip them apart within minutes. Then I decided to sign up again a couple months ago, but changed her subscription to a "medium-sized" dog, hoping the toys would be a bit tougher. So far so good. She's only decapitated one stuffed animal so far, but has loved the other toys. Going forward, I'll try really hard to do a blog post review of the monthly box, before giving her anything. I'll also update it if she destroys the toy and how long that took.
When I signed up for BarkBox this time around, I saw something else called BarkPost. It's just a blog, updated numerous times a day, with doggy contents. Most of the time, it's just short, funny articles or videos. Every now and then you get longer, sweet articles, or reminders of how cruel some people are to their dogs. Essentially, it's a quick break from work to stare at some adorable puppies. I've become quite obsessed. Here are some of my favorite, most recent articles:
