the 5 stages of getting a barkbox in the mail

sooo...i've been a little grumpy lately.

giving my human the stink eye...'cus i CAN. hmph.

i wasn't too happy about leaving the grandhumans and flying back home. 

...to BORING-VILLE. hmph (again).

i mean, no one likes vacation to end, but this is a little ridiculous.

so today, when the mail-lady delivered a package for ME (yes, me!!!), it couldn't have come at a better time. 

i mean, i was kind of starting to become a grumpy gills. 

and no one likes a grumpy gills.

so, anyways...

the human picked up the package and said it was my june barkbox!!!

stage 1 of getting a barkbox in the mail:
i don't know how to read, but i'm pretty sure it says "for mr. rambo" on this box!

barkboxes are like magic, because when you're grumpy, getting one in the mail makes you feel loads better.

stage 2 of getting a barkbox in the mail:
grumpy? who, me? no way. now open this box....um, please.

they make your tail wag just a little bit faster, and your smile just a little bit bigger.

stage 3 of getting a barkbox in the mail:
can we open it? can we open it now? how about now? come on what are we waiting for?!

after a hundred bazillion years, the human finally opened the box.

and inside i found an eiffel tower! and a rope toy! and cordon bleu treats! 

...i'm not really sure what a cordon bleu is, but it sounds fancy, so i'll give 'em a try.

stage 4 of getting a barkbox in the mail:
YAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

after tasting the yummy treats and playing with my new toys, i did what i always do after opening a barkbox. 

i sat in it, of course. 

'cus it's comfy, that's why.

stage 5 of getting a barkbox in the mail:if i fits, i sits.
(barkboxes are the perfect size to rest a puppy-bum...especially after a long afternoon of playing with all my new toys!)

...and ta-da! goodbye mr. grumpy gills, hello happy puppy! :)

i got a barkbox!

i got a barkbox today!

how long are you going to make me sit her and look at my barkbox? 

basically the best day ever.

this sure smells good. now if i could only figure out how to open it...

barkboxes are really hard to open. if you're a puppy at least.

trying to fit my whole mouth around the box and crunch it with my razor sharp puppy teeth...yeah, definitely didn't work.

so i tried standing on it and ripping at the cardboard. 

this doesn't seem to be working either.

but then...my human opened it for me!!!!!!!

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!!!!!!!

and there were all these awesome toys and delicious smelling treats in there!

i refuse to look at the camera at a time like this.

i made sure to keep watch for suspicious humans, squirrels, and blowing leaves that might want to steal my barkbox from me.

a pup can never be too careful when it comes to protecting his barkbox.

my human started pulling out different treats and toys from the box to see what i wanted to nom on first.

that one looks pretty delicious.

I CHOOSE THIS ONE, HUMAN!

pleasepleasepleaseplease can i have it pleasepleaseplease

it was a pretty great surprise for a saturday afternoon!

this is the only picture my human could get of me looking at the camera. i guess you could say i was a little distracted by all the fun stuff in my new barkbox.

and guess what? barkbox wants to give my fans $5 their own barkbox subscription for their pups! use the code RAMBO at checkout, or just click this link and it will automatically apply it for you :)

barkboxes for all the pups!!!!!!!!!
