Thanksgiving Goodies for Your Dog

The season of giving is almost upon us once more. It’s time to write the present list and think long and hard about what to buy for your loved ones. You ponder awhile to think of new and exciting gifts to give this year.

Search online to find something different from the standard retail offerings. Unique gifts from cuckooland.com and other outlets, hit the bullseye for originality.

So that’s your family members’ gifts taken care of. But there is another member of your household you need to buy for as well. Your trusted and loyal companion deserves a Thanksgiving gift too. So how will you reward your dog this season?

Food Treats

Irrespective of breed, what dog doesn’t like foodie treats? During the festive season, pet food producers get more inventive year on year. With lots of companies vying for your dog’s attention, pick a quirky gift for them to enjoy. Snacks are shaped in all manner of sizes and designs to cater for animals large and small. Eschew the usual bone this season for something inventive and appetizing. Double up tasty goodies with chew sticks to help maintain your dog’s teeth throughout the festivities.

Winter Warmers

As the chill nights begin to creep in, keep your dog toasty warm this season. Buy a luxurious dog blanket and let them curl up in their dog basket in comfort. Treat them to a new rug for the car so their next journey is a clean and cosy one.

Taking your dog out for walks during the cold months isn’t pleasant for either of you. Walking in the pouring rain, blowing winds, ice and snow, is a challenge in the wintertime. As you wrap up warm in overcoat and gloves, your poor pooch has to run to keep warm! This season, why not buy your dog a coat to keep them warm and dry?

New Home

If your dog spends much of their time outdoors, consider buying a new kennel. A spacious kennel provides an additional space on your property that they can claim as their own. When it rains, they can seek cover quickly rather than returning to the house with muddy paws! Even if your dog prefers the warmth of the hearth, the kennel provides a fun play space in the summertime.

Toys

Toys are a staple for most pets. Interactive and fun, toys keep your dog amused for hours. Educational toys are useful for training, so if you have a puppy consider which toys to buy. If your dog is left alone during the day, toys provide a welcome distraction. Noisy toys are helpful for addressing separation anxiety. When the house is eerily quiet, your dog is treated to the familiar sounds of their squeaky toy. However, be mindful of your neighbors as a noisy toy can be irritating to humans! Soft toys act as a cosy comforter that your dog may also appreciate during moments of anxiety.

No one knows your dog better than you. So take the lead this Thanksgiving and provide a stocking full of doggie treats they’ll love.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
