Let's Play



Parker is getting bored talking about bedding, bowls and books.  She said she would rather PLAY!!!  We discussed the matter and she won out.  So we started searching for TOYS.  There are milllllllions of dog toys out there, and she has about half of them already.  She has a big basket right beside her bed and she loves to pull them out, one by one, and bring them to the closest human being.  Several times a day it becomes necessary to recover the scattered remnants of her playtime and return them all to the basket, only for her to pull them out once again.  She loves pulling squeakers out of soft toys and she has this one (well she actually has 3 of them) squeaky, rubber egg with a duck in it, that she LOVES.  I will have to post a photo of the egg, if she hasn't hidden them.  But for now we are searching for new, long lasting, FUN, quality toys with cool, simple designs.  (Seriously, she is sitting right beside me and the laptop, looking on.)  Check out what we found...


These cool Phony Bones by DesignGo Studio!
Recently, while watching the "Animal Planet" show "Me or the Dog", we learned that if a dog has separation anxiety, it really helps if you can distract her when you are leaving.  Giving your pup a treat to keep her occupied during your exit, makes your departure much less traumatic! Phony Bones seem like the perfect distraction when filled with yummy goodness!

They are a 100% non-toxic, no mess, bite resistant, super durable, easy to clean, long lasting, bouncy, alternative to marrow bones.  Not to mention a very cool looking design in happy colors.  They are offered in 2 sizes... 3"pink and 5.5"lime green and are $5 and $9.  Perfect for stuffing your puppy's favorite treats such as peanut butter, hard or soft dog treats, mushed banana, or wet dog food.  You can even stuff it with wet food and freeze it for long lasting enjoyment.

Parker is so excited that she just fell asleep.  Having said that...  she did make it past her usual 10a.m. morning nap time.  I guess viewing toys on the internet is not quite as fun as playing with them in real life, but I'm sure any dog would love licking the peanut butter out of a Phony Bone.

  3. Parker isn't mine, but she stays with me during the day to avoid being cooped up in the kitchen all alone. Since I usually work from home it's nice to have the company and we have become very good friends. Comet and Haley are currently residing in SC and of course I miss them terribly.

  5. Looks like we made a Puppy Luxe FAUX PAW... :) I e-mailed the company to see where and when these toys would be available and I've gotten no response. Guess I should have looked into that before blogging about the Phony Bones. Oops. Please go lightly on me, I just started this. Anyway, I do know that "KONG"s are readily available at PETSMART and they serve the same purpose. They even make stuff that looks like "Easy Cheese" to squirt in them. Yum! Thanks for continuing to read PuppyLuxe!

  6. Those are some similar to kongs that I give Layla. I good trick is to fill it with some cheerios and then peanut butter and freeze it-it will keep them occupied for a long time:)
