Bully Sticks

I learned what a bully stick actually is today. I just fed my dog bull penis [snorts]. I definitely recommend bully sticks as a chew/treat. It lasts way longer than any other digestible chews I've given my dogs [excluding some other cow parts]. It lasts even longer than some rawhides I've given my dogs. Since it's digestible, there's no risk of it clogging up the intestines and doing other strange things like rawhide. Of course, like every other treat/chew/toy you give your dog, it's recommended that you supervise their consumption so that they don't break off any big bits and try to swallow and run the risk of choking. I bought the True Chews brand, but I know that other more well-known brands (ie. Dentley's) also makes them.

This 6 pack of bully sticks is $11.99 at Petsmart. Amazon has it for $8.99.

Zakai Ashkii Elu

So I saw this really REALLY AWESOME dog at work the other day. It's called the Zakai Ashkii Elu, the Native American Indian Dog (NAID), the SiberCaan, or the Siberian Indian Dog.

Cute right?
Here's an excerpt from dogbreedinfo.com:

"The Native American Indian dog comes in two distinct sizes and two hair coat lengths and two distinct coat color combinations. They can range in color from silver to black from the tortoise shell color to the sacred color of the Native Americans who referred to the broken pattern coat coloring as the "Spirit Dog". Their hair coat can be short and dense, two layers thick, of which the undercoat is wind and water proof, to long haired overcoat with the dense undercoat...The Native American Indian Dog's intelligence level is extremely high. Highly trainable and eager to please their human companions. They are loyal and protective of their families. Socialize well to avoid them being shy with strangers, but are totally dedicated to their human owners...

Weight: 55-120 pounds (25-55 kg.)
Height: 23-34 inches (58-67 cm.)..."

Yep yep. I WANT ONE!!! One of these days. When I can afford enough land for it to run on.

Product Review #1 - Petstages Easy Toss Ring

This is my FAVORITE toy. Dog toys are fun~

My dogs love the Easy Toss Ring. It survived the shiba in the family but not the maltipoo, so it can't really be considered very durable, but it's a lot of fun to play with. It's really cute when they pick it up, and it goes around their snout so you can't see their face. Cuuuuuute~ And you know what the best part is? IT DOESN'T SQUEAK. Don't get me wrong. I get my dogs plenty of squeaky toys, and they love them. However, when they're running around at 1 in the morning going, "squeak squeak squeaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueak," it's not so much fun for me. Instead the little fins make crinkly noises which is much easier to tune out. Petsmart offers the mini size for $5.99. Amazon has the mini for somewhere between $4.68 and $6.30.

Hello~

Dogs are so much fun. Don't you think? Even though there are times when it can be very frustrating, like when they're still puppies [ack, the never ending poop], it's totally worth having a pet in the end. This blog is just for me to babble about how awesome our canine friends are, plus some random other useful tidbits, such as reviews on products, ways to avoid bad behavior [I work as a dog trainer], possible dogs out for adoption, and a whole bunch of other stuff. There will be plenty of fun and hilarious stories. I hope you will share some of your stories with me too!

FYI: The fluffy white one in the background is mine. The other dog is a new friend he made at the dog park.
