GoughNuts Dog Chew Toy Is Virtually Indestructible... Guaranteed!

| Comments (2)

goughnuts-dog-chew-toy.jpg We recently introduced the GoughNuts dog toy to our dog, Tenor, for the first time.

Think: A 'doughnut' that dogs go nuts for.

Let me just tell you... the minute that package arrived in the mail, somehow he instinctively knew it was for him. I don't know if it was the strong smell of the rubber that was wreaking from the package itself, or what. But he kept pestering me until I took the time to open it and let him see what it was.

And he immediately loved it!

Tug-A-Jug: A Great Interactive Dog Treat Toy

| Comments (2)

tug-a-jug-interactive-dog-toy.jpg I recently got our dog the Tug-A-Jug dog toy by Busy Buddy. They call it 'the ultimate interactive toy'.

I chose this particular dog toy because my dog REALLY likes to play with old 2-liter bottles. He especially likes it when I put tiny dog treats inside the emplty bottle. He'll play for a long time just nosing the bottle around on the floor and pawing at it with his toes. And he really likes making the plastic crinkle, pop and crack while he's trying vigorously to get the treats out of the bottle.

Of course, at the end of the play session (which can last an entire evening), the bottle is always thrown away -- because, at this point, there are usually some sharp corners of plastic. Not to mention the fact that the treats have mostly been emptied, and the bottle itself is in some strange contortion that is no longer rollable, tossable, or even chewable.

So I thought the Tug-A-Jug sounded like a more permanent option to the old 2-liter bottle idea.

I got the large one that is 'best for dogs over 40 lbs'. (I have an 80 lb. Black Lab.)

Thinking Of Selling Dog Items On eBay? Here Are Some Quick & Easy Tips...

| Comments (0)

I never really thought much about selling dog items on eBay before... until recently.

Soon after the holidays were over, I realized I was in the mood to purge unwanted (or unneeded) items from our house. Who needs all this stuff???

And I found that I had some old dog things that were still in fairly good condition, so...eBay to the rescue!

About the same time, I came across some great tips for selling things on eBay including dog supplies...

But I just discovered another great website for ordering dog-related products and supplies online. It's called PetCare RX.

New Toy Alert: Kong Squeaker

According to a survey I was sent from the Kong Company, it appears that they will soon be coming out with a brand new Kong toy called the Kong Squeaker!

Cool! I'm sure my dog (and others) will love it! By the sound of things, they're still toying with the idea of whether or not it will be able to be filled with goodies or not. (I hope so!... That's what makes a Kong a Kong to me...)

In support of all dogs everywhere...


In an effort to bring greater awareness to the issue of animal abuse, and give your dog a little something to gnaw on, I thought I'd share with you an interesting new dog toy called The Vick Dog Chew Toy.


[Thanks for the heads up, Randy.]

  • Tenor hasn't really eaten moist dog foods much. He usually only gets dry dog food, so this was a special treat!
  • Our dog is doing fine 8 days after TPLO surgery. The bruising is mostly gone. Now his skin is just getting dry and itchy. He's wanting to lick his leg more than ever.
  • Our dog pooping. The long-awaited poop. There was so much in there, he actually went 3 times in a matter of seconds. A very proud moment.
  • Dog peeing a couple days after TPLO surgery. He's always squatted like a girl to pee, rather than lifting his leg, so that's not unusual.
  • Tenor is pretty much back to his old self these days -- 8 days after surgery. Now he's just bored.
  • Tenor is eating fine and getting around okay 8 days after surgery -- but he still won't put much weight on his foot.
  • Our dog is resting on a bed sheet out in the backyard after TPLO surgery.
  • Tenor dog is crouching down into a seated position -- on top of the bad leg! It didn't phase him at all. By the way the tongue action is because he'd just had a drink of water.
  • Ice cubes are good for a dog right after surgery. I don't think our dog ate or drank much while he was in the hospital. He seemed to be running a fever, and he couldn't get enough water and ice cubes.
  • Here, Tenor is lying directly on his bad leg. No worries. The only thing that was difficult for him during the first week of recovery was lying down on bulky things like blankets and dog pillows. It seemed to put extra pressure on parts of his leg.
  • Here you can see how bad the swelling is in the right rear ankle -- and this is while he's lying down! The swelling was on top of the foot, as well as in the ankle.
  • A closeup of our dog's stitches and bruising after TPLO surgery.
