It's true...around here we really get into Valentine's Day and really wish everyone could have a sweet chocolate treat. But for those of us who are dog lovers and owners - or have dogs in our lives that we just adore, we know chocolate is definitely not on the list. At TCN we definitely have puppy love (see a photo of my youngest nephew, Bulleit)

We were very excited to find a new website, Charlie Chews all handmade, all natural (sound familiar?) from grass-fed cow heart, low-salt nitrate-free bacon, whole-wheat flour, rolled oats, carrots, parsley and water…all local ingredients from the Hudson Valley, and nothing else but love. Did we mention they are 100 % "doganic"? That means whenever possible, organic and free range products...

This Valentine's Day - treat your dog to something really special – perhaps The Big Star or the fabulous Charlie Big Bones. By the way, meet Charlie the inspiration for Charlie Chews...Charlie is a beautiful and lovable mix between a Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound..adopted from the North Shore Animal League . And they call it puppy love.
