any dog lovers out there?

Just wanted to check in and see who the dog lovers are!

1) Do you have a dog or dogs? Names, ages, breeds (pictures are welcome too!)

2) What is your favorite pet related product?

I'll go first

1) I have 2 dogs-Molly a 2 y/o black lab and Murphy a 3 y/o American Bulldog. Both are rescues. We have 2 cats also.

Here are their dogster pages

2) My new favorite pet related product? We recently bought one of those PediPaws nail file tools. I LOVE it so far. My dogs are so much better about sitting to have their nails filed than with me using the clippers. This is easier too because Molly's nails are black and I used to quick here ALL the time. With this I won't hurt them.

There's another thread somewhere around here, but I have a blind Alaskan Malamute that I got from an Alaskan Malamute rescue group. She's a kind, sweet and submissive Mal (which is extremely rare.. a submissive Mal!)

Samantha

Her Kong is probably our best friend. It helped her get over her separation anxiety. She's happy to see me leave now because she knows there will be peanut butter in the Kong for her. In fact, when I brush my teeth (usually my last step before I leave the house in the morning), she starts prancing around and getting all excited. It throws her on the weekend when I brush my teeth in the morning and then don't leave!

ETA: Yeah, the date on the digital camera was set wrong. We didn't have that much snow in June

We have 2 doggies! Their names are Spencer Phoenix and Mr. Chompers. Spencer is a red Miniature Pinscher, and Mr. Chompers is a tan and white Chihuahua. I got them both from the shelter about a year apart from each other. We also had a yellow lab named Susie that passed away on October 22nd. She was 12.

Oh, and my favorite pet related product would have to be the Pawdicure. It is like Pedipaws. The dogs hated it at first, but I think they like it better than the old way of cutting their nails. They used to freak out.

oh... i forgot the pet product...since I work at a for a vet I would have to say my favorite would be the anti-shed products that my office carries. They work wonders for my lab!!!

1) Yes, one.
Flo. Six years old and we are unsure of the breed but we can guess Catahoula Leopard hound and maybe Australian Shepard

I hadn't heard of this site. I love it!

2) Pet related product... I don't know the name of it, but it is this bone, whose ends screw off. You put the treats on the bone and screw the ends back on. Flo loves it and it bounces too.

My doggy! He is a West Highland White Terrier ("Westie") and his name is Shiloh. We got him from a breeder 11 years ago. He has a lot of skin allergies, so our favorite dog product is probably his hypoallergenic shampoo.

I am the proud owner of a 3 year old fawn boxer named Kaiser Chief.

My favorite pet product? Hmmmm . . . maybe his Mickey Mouse collar. We get many positive comments about it at the dog park!

Forrest is a 9 year old Basset Hound. Here are some pictures...

Our favorite pet product is his electronic doggie door. It wasn't cheap by any means. But it opens and closes only when he's near-- he wears an activator on his collar. Best money ever spent! I also love his Vera Bradley collar set (Windsor Navy) and his lighted Christmas collar set.

He also used to have his own bedroom in our old house. Here are some pictures. *lol* The drawings are from Disney Quest's Animation Academy, and one of his many certificates from the Disney Kennels. He's a spoiled boy... but at our new home he got booted for my treadmill.

I have a dog! He is a 12 year old (going on puppy) Welsh Terrier named Barney. I got him from a local no-kill shelter in 2002. He's the best dog ever.

Favorite product...probably Pill Pockets. Barney is on medication for a heart murmur and these make it super easy to give him his pills. Just put them in the pill pocket, smush it closed, and give it to him - it's a big treat for him.

Your groomer is doing his head incorrectly. It's cute. But, incorrect. Not the worst I have seen by far. But, there are slight corrections that could be made in a couple of places to balance the chin out better and produce a more rounded, correct "westie" head.

My mom has a Yorkie, and his name is Max. She had to have her 1st Yorkie put to sleep. I have a cat, and her name is Marbles. I don't have a favorite pet product. But I am a dog and cat lover.

I have a 7 yo Golden Retriever who is the sweetest dog ever! And I have a mutt who is mostly corgi and perhaps some shepherd who is about 5 years old and as lazy as can be. He gets super excited every day when I put my socks on because he knows that socks lead to shoes, shoes lead to keys, and keys lead to a car ride!

By far, the most essential and indispensable dog related item I have is the FURMINATOR .
If you have a dog who sheds you have to give it a try, it has saved my sanity.

1. I have a 15yo American Eskimo named Lucky (Dee and I have talked about Lucky and Samantha at length! They should be buddies). Really he's live-in's dog but since I'm looking for work and home most of the day I take care of him more. He's not a hard doggie to take care of, though.

2. Honestly, we don't use a lot of pet products with Luckers. He goes to the groomer (although I might have to give the furminator and pedipaws a try!) and he doesn't like toys. So our favorite is good old fashioned rawhide bones. He can't get enough of those things (as you can see from his picture).

ETA: He was under my desk when that picture was taken. It took him a little while to get used to the heater and he used to hide under our desks if we were at them.

Our Golden is just over a year old. He too is a sweetie (and really handsome), but he still has lots of puppy energy. He still can't be unsupervised in the house -- there's just no telling what he'll get into.
