Tasty Tuesday-Treats for Peeps Grady's Cold Brew Coffee

On Saturday mom and dad went to Smorgasburg in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  The NY Times described this market as The Woodstock of Eating.  Since we are all confirmed foodies and plenty hip enough for the 'Burg we were eager to go.  Then mom dealt the blow, apparently Norbert and Bob are too big to be allowed on the train as they don't fit in bags, and at nearly 90 degrees mom and dad felt it was to hot for pugs.   We all got left at home in the air conditioning and comforted ourselves with the thought that surely Mom and Dad would bring us some treats.  Yummy hipster friendly treats.

Three hours later mom and dad came home with a small bag.   We imagined jerky, organic dog cookies, free range chicken nibbles, etc.   However the bag contained something forbidden to all dogs, coffee!

 We could hardly believe it no treats for us.   We inspected thoroughly, but sure enough it was a bottle of Grady's Cold Brew Iced Coffee Concentrate.






Even more ominous then their evident neglect, mom and dad are addicted to this stuff.   They say its the best coffee they have ever tasted (and they've tasted lots).   The bottle cost them 15 dollars and will make 8 cups of iced coffee, not too bad they say when you consider the cost of Starbucks.  But 15 bucks could have bought us a giant bag of chewies or two boxes of treats.   Worst of all if they bring the bottle back to Smorgasburg they get two dollars off their next bottle, and they are planning to return in the next few weeks.  Seem like we will have to give them the cold shoulder for awhile.

  4. Oh dearie me, we can't believe how this happened, I mean, not a single teeny treat? Not a single one? Incredible, or as they say in France incroyable, zut alors, merde or just plain pah! Not good. But if you can load the guilt between now and when they return, maybe they'll make it up to you in bucket loads of treats in a few weeks time :)

  12. Oh my dog! My assistant is a coffee junkie and may have to run right out and find this coffee!

    Your pal, Pip

    P.S.: I bet you dogs had more fun in the air conditioning than riding on a hot train!

  13. You were so right to tell my mom to be sure and visit today! This coffee looks amazing. She's totally excited. Definitely her speed, though I have concerns about her coffee addiction.

    And thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my blog. :)

  17. The nerve!!! They are on the poo poo list for sure. Mom is all nuts for coffee too, so she says you get no sympathy from her.

    Been having trouble commenting on your blog. Hopefully this one goes through.

  18. Well, since your 'rents do so much for you guys, I guess it's OK that they got a little T-R-E-A-T (yeah, mom and dad, I know how to spell) for themselves. Although you need to make sure next time they promise to bring back some toys or dog-friendly treats.

    -Love,
    Sid.
