Pet Product Review - DogToids, Feeding Bowls, Water Bottle Crunchers, FurBuster by Bamboo
The nice folks at Bamboo sent the panel a box of goodies to review!
Dogtoids - How clever is this? DogToids, (not affiliated with Altoids), are breath mints for your dog! Cute little bone-shaped treats that Joey & Roxie loved! I conducted my own (unscientific) breath test on the dogs before and after chewing a DogToid and actually did notice a difference! Only $1.99 at Petdiscounters.com.
Feeding Bowl - Super cute bowls for discriminating cats. The non-skid base keeps it from scooting all over the tile floor when kitty chows-down. The pink fish design is perfect for our little feline princess. Buy online for $3.50 on the Cat Claws site.
Water Bottle Crunchers - The panel went nuts over this toy! A must have for dogs who love to chew on water bottles! The empty bottle is safely tucked inside a heavy fabric cover so doggy can't endanger himself by swallowing sharp plastic pieces or cutting himself on sharp edges. You can freshen up the "crunch factor" by putting in a new bottle. Kaya and Jessie had a tug-of-war for rights to the caterpillar cruncher. Found these for $6.86 at Amazon.com.
FurBuster - The FurBuster de-shedding tool worked great! After three quick swipes through Roxie's fur, the comb was filled with loose hair. It's light-weight and comes in 3 sizes. I found the small & medium tools for $21.97 on Petco's website.

"Come Back, Como" by Steven Winn
What if the family dog loves everyone in your family but you? Steven Winn, author of "Come Back, Como: Winning the Heart of a Reluctant Dog," takes a humorous look at one father's relationship with a dog who wanted nothing whatsoever to do with him and the lessons he learned about love and families.

Based on a beloved ten-part series in the San Francisco Chronicle, the tender and hilarious story of one man's uncommonly rich experience with a dog who wanted nothing whatsoever to do with him
Meet the Auther via this video here:
Steven Winn wanted a dog for his family--for companionship, for laughter, for holidays together, and stories to tell. But when his daughter fell in love with a scraggly, man-hating terrier mix named Como from a local animal shelter, Winn got far more than he'd bargained for. Traumatized, single-minded, and clever, Como was bent on breaking Winn's sanity, his bankbook, and his heart.
COME BACK, COMO is the story of a unique journey: one man's valiant quest to win the love of a truly one-of-a-kind dog, a creature usually thought of as man's best friend. With humor and pathos, Winn describes the exasperating but ultimately rewarding effects Como had on his family, the ordeals he and his dog endured together, and the greatest lesson Como taught him: that loving a dog can somehow make us more human.
