Hey Drift - I think I look pretty good in this LickiMat bandana and look at all the great prizes they have given for the winners at our trial on the Weekend.
They have even given a discount code for us poor dogs who can’t compete so Mum can buy me some for 20% less.
Not long now 🐶

Yummo Mum I love the dried sardines from The Bearded Hound but I have run out.
Don’t worry Tucker - Jess and Harley are coming to the Parkes trial on Sunday 7th April and will bring lots more with them.
If you don’t want to miss out you can pre order treats up until 12pm Friday 5th and if you bring along your own container you can get a 10% discount.
So I hope you have saved your pocket money Tucker.
