Hi fur friends! I know, I know! I’ve been off the grid for a while, but it’s all good. Mom’s been really busy with her business, which is a good thing. She gets to work at home and we even have guests working here to keep up with the work!
We’ve been keeping up with my friends (congratulations Preston, on your coming soon new brother!), just no time to post.
Mom couldn’t let a day go by before letting everyone know about this new brush she found. It’s better than the Furminator and it feels REALLY good! We should have taken a picture of all the extra hair, because it was unbelievable! Maybe Mom can cut down on all the dusting and vaccuming. Less housework might mean more playtime for me!
Mom and I were playing with my AWESOME new Air Kong football the other day. Dad obviously doesn’t know the name of this toy because he just calls it the cause of all his headaches. I’ve mentioned how awesome my new football is on my Facebook page, but haven’t talked about it here yet.
This is the BEST squeaky toy ever invented (so far…) You wanna know why? I haven’t been able to break the squeaker yet and I’ve had it for four days! Mom tells me that it seems my mission in life is to find a way to break the squeaker in my new toys in less than 20 minutes. Since I’m goal oriented like my mom, I’ve yet to find a squeaky toy that I haven’t obliterated in record time. It’s not that I WANT to break the squeaky toy, it’s that I love squeaking it so much that it breaks from over-squeaking.
After I break the squeaker, all I hear is pop…crunch…pop…pop…crunch. That’s no fun at all. Mom even bought some replacement squeakers for me to put in toys that I’ve broken hoping that they were more sturdy. Mom was wrong, and it gave me a big case of the sads.
Anywoof, Mom recorded me squeaking my new Air Kong so my friends would see how much fun it is:
Lots of my friends watched the video and started looking around for their squeaky toy. My friend, JuJu Sock Monkey’s mom and dad took a video of JuJu watching my video:
I don’t want to sound like I have a big head or anything, but I think I’ve just acquired my first groupie! What do I do now? Mom tells me that she’s heard stories of groupies and she’ll have none of that. She’s a real buzz kill. Really.
The nice people at Pet-Super-Store.com sent me an awesome new bed to review. I wanted to review it right away, but Mom had to go out of town and she doesn’t like me to post on my blog without her. She’s such a control freak, right?
Mom tells me that it’s probably a good thing it took me two weeks to review because she and I have a special rule. If it’s mine, I can do anything I want to it. That usually means that it’s going to get destroyed if it has:
1. Stuffing
2. Furry exterior
3. Zippers
4. Things I can pull apart
5. A squeaker in it
This bed had everything except the squeaker and Mom was afraid that by the time she got back the bed would be completely destroyed. I tried my best, I really did! As soon as Mom got it out of the box, I knew it was mine and immediately tried to take it apart. That’s how Mom learned that the pillow comes out AND has a zipper so she can wash the case. I found the zipper within two minutes because I have zipdar. If it has a zipper, I’ll find it and do my best to take it off.
Mom says that doing the review two weeks after getting the bed is a good indicator of how well made it is. It still looks brand new, even though I’ve been sleeping in it and messing with the zipper every.single.day. If Mom was home, she would have tried to make me behave with the bed, but Dad was in charge while she was gone and he lets me get away with everything.
I’ll bet you’d like to know about this indestructable bed, right? It’s called “The Dutchie” and comes in lots of fabrics. I’m not good at math, but I think I counted 41! It just so happens that Pet-Super-Store.com sent me the exact fabric I’d pick- Urban Animal.
The “The Dutchie” comes in four sizes fitting puppies from 15 to 70 lbs. I am a pound over the medium size, so I’ve been sleeping in the large. I love it because I can stretch out if I want, but lots of times I like to cuddle up next to the sides. The sides are really supportive! When I tried to do that with my old bed, the sides just flopped over.
Mom left my old bed out just to see which bed I’d choose. She knows that I like my stuff, so was surprised to see me in my NEW bed every morning when she came down stairs. The old bed might as well go to doggy bed heaven because it’s dead to me.
Last week I mentioned that I’d be hosting a giveaway for a 40.00 gift certificate, and today I’m going to tell you how to win!
Even though I think EVERYONE should have a pet (especially a dog!), their stores carry items in all sorts of categories. For example, you can use this certificate for a bed or bedding sets, or you can use the certificate for anything sold in any of the other 250+ specialized CSN stores.
Of course, I think you should use the certificate at their pet store!
I really like this booster seat because it has a heater, just like my mom’s seat in the car. It also boosts you up so you can see outside, like my car seat (which isn’t so fancy!)
So, I’ll bet you’re wondering about the rules, eh? Here you go!
You’ll receive one entry for each of the following:
1. Leave a comment here on my blog telling me you want to win! Be sure to leave me your email address. Don’t worry, it won’t show up to other readers.
2. Join my facebook page and leave me a comment there. Be sure to mention that it’s for the CSN store giveaway.
3. Join the Mutual Admiration Society and write something nice about one of your family members, furkids or friends (be sure to invite them to the page to read it!)
This gives you up to three entries to win. I’ll draw the winner at 5pm PST on Friday, June 11 2010. Good luck!
Mom bought me another interactive toy because she can tell that I like to use my noggin. She’s seen Nina Ottosson toys in some of the “It’s me or the dog” episodes, so she found one that she thought might challenge me. It’s called the Nina Ottosson Plastic Brick.
There’s a YouTube video from the manufacturer on how to start using the game, but Mom thought it was boring and wanted to see how quickly I could figure this out without too much prompting.
This video shows the first time I used the puzzle. As you can see, it didn’t take me long to figure out (duh!).
The next video is the third time trying out the puzzle- this time with the bones in the middle. That was a little more challenging for me, so Mom tried helping me out by giving me the “touch” command. My favorite part is the high five at the end, because I deserved it!
I’m not being paid or prompted by the manufacturer to rate this toy, so you are getting the honest truth when I give this toy a two paws up! The entire line of Nina Ottosson puzzle toys are kind of expensive, but they’re really sturdy and Mom can think of lots of other fun games she can make with this toy.
