I must admit, I used to be on Twitter quite a lot but simply never find the time now. But for those of you who are still avid Twitter users, don’t you want to know how the little pooch is doing all day? Well, welcome to the Puppy Tweets Twitter Tag!

That’s right, simply put the new Mattel Puppy Tweets Dog collar on and you can get Tweets throughout the day from your stay at home Dog while you are out. If you want cool messages from the Dog that are based around what it is doing then this is the perfect (and only) way to find what they are up to. Or maybe you have a friend who would love to know when their Dog is sleeping, barking, running around and more?

I wonder what they will think of next?

Let’s see how this thing works:

Puppy Tweets Device

Apparently the little device has 411 messages on it that are sent by your Dogs Twitter account (you may have to help them setting it up) depending on the activity it is involved in. It is totally wireless and works by sending messages to Twitter via a USB dongle that you plug in to any computer. Apparently the range is up to 100 ft so poochie can be in most rooms in the house and still Tweet.

The Puppy Tweets device can detect if your Dog is making a noise and send cool Tweets once you install the app on your computer.

Is Puppy Tweets Fake

Aw, come on don’t spoil it. Get it as a great novelty item for fun at work or when you simply miss your Dog too much. You get funny Tweets from your Dog all day long and you will then be thinking of the poor guy missing you like mad.

Don’t expect it to change the world, this is a fun item as a gift for Dog lovers or for those that want a little bit of amusement in their day. You can buy puppy tweets pink or puppy tweets blue, depending on……..well, that’s pretty obvious really! What will be next discount TAG Heuer watches? Although I bet that some bright spark has already invented expensive watches for Dogs, we see enough Dog collars studded with diamonds don’t we?

It’s that time again. Time to go to Amazon and pick out a Toy or a Treat for the Dogs. I am not sure what to get the three Girls who have everything this year and are the real stars of the Dog blog. I mean, what more could a Dog want? They have the Catalan countryside to run about in, although because it is hunting season they are actually under house arrest at the moment, which is unfortunate for them but also for me and the good lady as well. And to top it all off the EVIL CAT wants to be in all the time as well. Ah, the joys of a constantly meowing Cat who is getting fatter by the minute and 3 Dogs who want o go out and try to see if they can get shot by a disgruntled hunter.

I digress, (as usual) I hear you cry.

So what are the best gifts for Dogs? I guess we all have our personal preferences. What they absolutely will not be getting, and all family are under strict instructions for this, is anything that squeaks. Apart from reminding me too much of the EVIL CAT named Naruto all three have the uncanny knack of holding a squeaky toy just so it makes a constant noise that slowly penetrates the brain until you don’t know whether to bang your head against the wall or take a sledge hammer to any Dog toy in sight.

So, taking a look on Amazon I wanted to see what the most popular Doggie toys are at the moment and see what I may get the Girls if they are good (not much chance of that, but oh well). Click this  Cheap Dog Toys link to see all the available Dog toys.

What I really like are the big kong toys. Good for keeping them occupied and out of other mischief but also a good durable Dog toy. I wrote about the nylabone bones before and I won’t be getting them as they really do seem to be quite destructive with them. Too many raw meaty bones has given them jaws of steel and a penchant for dedicating themselves to working through anything that I disgracefully have the nerve to even call a bone.

Actually what I do like and what I may buy again is another Rope Toy. They do go through them after a year or so and at the moment they only have one between the three of them. This used to be okay as Daisy the Shy was way too much of a Lady to condescend to such frivolities but she is getting a little more confident lately. It’s only taken 2 years, so don’t let anyone tell you that training a shy Dog is quick, it takes a lot of time and patience to get them more confident. The good lady has been forcing me to lie passively on the floor of late and roll around in the Doggie fur and Daisy has been slowly taking an interest and coming over for a face lick or two (my face not hers). She has also started nicking the rope toy and settling down for a bit of a play.

She isn’t really sure what she is supposed to do with it but her heart is in the right place and she is trying, bless her. So, now that it is not just Faye and Jet that want some rope action I think maybe another one so that they can all play would be a good idea. This is a super cheap Dog Toy but one that gives them loads of fun.

Activities with the Rope Toy include the traditional “Tug Of War”, the “settling down to try to seriously destroy it” game, the “prancing around with the rope toy in your mouth to get everyone else jealous” game, the “I don’t want it really but it is next to me so I will growl at you if you want it” game, and best of all the “lets go insane and throw the rope toy around the room and hope we brake something or at eh very least hit the shouty man in the face with it again” game. I know which one I prefer and it is not the latter.

What I never realised was that you can even get Dog Treats from Amazon. I assumed it was non food items but they sell loads of food related stuff for both Dogs and Humans which I was surprised at. I may even get them some treats once I decide what to order. I actually think that maybe keeping it simple with the Dogs is best. Nothing that can be easily destroyed is important but also nothing that has lots of little parts or anything that seems like it could cause problems if swallowed.

What are you getting your Dog for Christmas, or is the answer nada?

Update: If you do have concerns about the safety of Nylabones try one of these Indestructible Dog Toys instead.

Nylabone Bones are a regular feature in many Dog owners homes. Looking after Dogs is often a busy and hectic life and often we like to have some quiet time.

Giving the Dogs something to chew on is a great way to have peace for a while. I am a firm believer in Raw Meaty Bones for the Dogs. They get a good few bones every week and there are always a few hanging around outside for them to chew on. Raw Meaty Bones keep them quiet for hours and is also a great form of teeth cleaning for Dogs. I do not, however like having Bones in the house.

The other day I came across a Nylabone that had been hanging around outside for quite some time. There was hardly a mark on it. It has mostly been ignored as the Bone Munchers will take the real thing over a nylabone bone any day.

I decided to bring it in the house to see if it would keep any of them interested. It was an immediate success. They were all playing with it, throwing it around, and generally having a great time. After a while the older two Dogs got bored and Jet the youngest one settled down for a bit of a “chew fest”. This did raise some concerns immediately. Are Nylabones safe for Puppies? Are Nylabones for Dogs a good idea. What should a Nylabone bone look like when you should throw it away?

Not good. I am unsure about just how safe a Nylabone is.

Dangers Of Nylabone Bones

Are Nylabone Bones Good For Dogs?

[ad#ad-inpost]

Within minutes the top of Nylabone was starting to be all chewed up. I checked on the Nylabone website and it says that small rough bits on the end is normal. It is only if they chew larger pieces that it is dangerous. They also state, however, that there is no such thing as an indestructible Dog Toy.

Their site seems to be very honest and they tell you to regularly inspect the Toy to ensure the Dog is not able to chew large pieces off. It also seems to state that it is safe for the Dogs to chew off tiny pieces and that they will pass through them with no problem.

Jet seemed to be making pretty good progress in chewing up the end of the Nylabone Bone. There were small bits of it sticking up and, to be honest, I wasn’t quite sure if it was safe or not. I don’t really like the idea of her ingesting small pieces of it. I also worried that she may bite or chew off a larger piece and this just gets me paranoid.

Has anyone had any problems with Nylabone Bones?

Do you use them? Do you think they are safe? Or are they just best suited to small Dogs with less strength in their Jaws?

Lets hear about your experiences. To be honest, I threw our Nylabone bone in the bin. My paranoia got the better of me and I was worried for their safety.

Try an Indestructible Dog Toy if you have concerns about Nylabones.

With Christmas truly on it’s way I guess I should do a plug for a Doggie Toy. You can’t neglect them when it’s prezzie time. Dogs love getting something they can have a good old play with so why not get something that will last and may also stop the dogs from chewing up the house. I know that this is a problem for many. Especiall if you have a new dog or a puppy.

How To Stop Dogs From Chewing

It can be a real problem for some. Our solution was to put a bit of oil laced with Tobasco or chilli powder on anything that the dogs started to nibble. This worked extremely well and very quickly. Along with this we got them some great toys that they became attatched to and now play with for hours. Of course if no one is in the house it is still a free for all when it comes to shoes! I guess you can’t win them all and the oil would stain. Hang on …that would be better than no shoes! Hmmmm…
