I have a soft spot for waffles. Flashback to 2011, my husband and I took a trip to Napa and stayed at this bed and breakfast like hotel. Every morning for a week I was woken up by tantalizing smells of waffles, luscious butter, and sweet syrupy goodness. Even now I can still taste those heavenly delicious waffles.

Now lets flashback to even further back to when this panda was just a baby panda. My parents had packed our whole lives up and brought us to America. I had just started kindergarten and was nervous to step out onto unfamiliar grounds. I am sure my mom had sensed my anxiety and would wake up extra early to make waffles! Not only that she would top it with a scoop of ice cream. Five year old me loved watching the ice cream melt into the crevices and no matter how anxious or nervous I was to go to school, those feelings would all melt away.

Breakfast had always been a healing moment for me. I knew I could take anything on after a good breakfast. The world seemed a lot less harsh after each bite of happiness. I have always wanted to share breakfast with my furry child. However with how much sugar laden breakfast items out there I did not want to have that be a part of Gatsby’s diet.

No fret! Your pup will finally be able to enjoy snuggling in bed and chowing down on some delectable wuffles! The enticing wuffles starts with a tempting crunchy outside and exquisitely luscious fluffy inside. Topped off with a berry compote that will fill the crevices and hang off the wuffles like honey. Your pup will be wagging their tails off to sink their teeth into this one!
