🍕 Our Christmas Eve Tradition:
We always make homemade pizzas for Xmas Eve
Growing up, my family up North always made pizzas on Christmas Eve, and it was my favorite part of the holidays. I still remember my Great Grandma asking me to make her pizza every year, and then while eating she’d ask me how high school was going (even when I was in college 🤭). I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything.
So when Matt and I got together, we decided to continue the tradition.
Should we make the dogs a pizza this year?

TOP 5 MUST DO’S WITHIN 30 MINS OF OSHKOSH, WI:
💛 Waupaca Forest
This has to be one of the best off-leash areas we’ve been to with the dogs. We went nearly every day, and never saw anyone else on the trail.
💛 Nashville Pet Products
We have never experienced hospitality like when we went into the Nashville Pet Products WI in . They even sent Dutton a get well soon card that arrived at our house in Austin before we even got home.
💛 Bar430
You MUST stop in to and grab one of their incredible drinks. We honestly can’t say enough about how much we loved this place!
💛 Pivot Nutrition
If you’re as big of a fan as we are, then you won’t want to miss getting a protein shake from Pivot Nutrition. The entire shop and their drinks are Friends-themed. Could it BE any cooler?!
💛 Wiouwash Trail
This trail is a 2 minute walk from our , the Yellow Door at Sunset Point and is the perfect spot to get some scenic loose leash walking in with your pups.

WHERE IS GUSTER?
So today we left Guster in Houston for a 6 week board and train. I never EVER thought or imagined we’d be doing another board and train, but my husband and I know it’s what is best for our sweet boy, Guster. We’re leaving him with Josh Wiggins of where he’ll be working on behavior modification and gun dog work. When we pick him up, we will have course work to do at home and in person at Dogworks with Guster.
SO WHY ARE WE SENDING GUSTER AWAY FOR TRAINING?
Honestly, I’m not yet comfortable sharing Guster’s story. I will eventually fill yall in, but at this time I’m keeping our reasons private.
I’m already missing my baby boy, but know he’s in good hands. Let the count down to pick up Guster begin

If you’ve missed our stories, we’re currently on a cross-country road trip from Austin where we’ve visited Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and are about to explore South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin!

Where in the world is Guster?! 🌎 👇
Guster has been away at “sleep away” camp at this past month. Last month Guster got jumped, and lost all of his confidence around other dogs. With us bringing home Dutton around the same time, we didn’t want to take any chances of either dog having a negative experience. Guster has already seen significant improvements, and we can’t wait to see how much more he grows over the next month.
We’re visiting this month to get some Guster-love and to work on learn some handling drills from the pros.
We are so thankful for the Hunt’em Up team taking such incredible care of our sweet boy.
Can’t wait to have him home!
Ps. Can we please note how jacked Guster’s gotten in just 1 month on his Marine 16 and Origins 5-in-1 supplement 😳 💪

Stocking Stuffer Gift Guide: Dog Edition You can’t go wrong with these 4 dog treats this Christmas: (1) @vitalessentialsraw chicken hearts This is the BEST high-value treat we’ve found on the market. We’ve used these chicken hearts to train a SOLID recall for all 3 of our pups. I honestly can’t recommend them enough (2) Homescape Pets Turkey Jerky (UBD10 to SAVE) I’m seriously so happy @homescapepets brought these back for Christmas! They easily break up into little pieces when you’re on the go, so they make the perfect loose-leash walking treat! (3) Homescape Pets Beef Tendons (UBD10 to SAVE) For my super-chewers, you will love the beef tendons by Homescape Pets. You will often times find me bringing one for each of the pups when we’re hitting up a local patio. (4) @fureverdogco Freeze-Dried Chicken Breast This is a recent discovery, but our dogs are obsessed! They have a few other freeze-dried treats, too that seem to drive my doggos crazy. I highly recommend bringing these chicken breast treats with you when you’re wanting your dog to focus on you. They can’t resist them. Did I miss your dog’s favorite treat?
