Life hack: What I did when Hazel became too strong for me to play tug
My sweet baby girl Hazel is a Saint Bernese, and although I still see her as my little girl I have to accept the fact that she is 97 pounds of pure muscle. You would think that her bad leg would affect the way she plays, but it doesn't. Her favorite thing to do is to play tug. Unfortunately ropes don't work- she just eats them. So I was really excited when I found this Top Paw™ Tuff Tire Dog Toy at PetSmart that she can chew on and play tug with. Of course the rope was destroyed in the first week, but the tire is tough and she loves it.

Fall is here: Festive dogs playing in the autumn leaves
Remember when you used to play in the leaves? Sometimes our pets love something just as much as we do! These dogs are outside enjoying the fall weather and colorful leaves that coat the ground.

Get a dog and get healthy- studies show that petting
a dog can lower the owner’s blood pressure. Not to mention walking the dog is a
great way to stay in shape! Your dog can be your ticket to a healthy lifestyle.

Dogs get cheeky: these adorable toys have junk in the trunk!

No need to call animal control- this is a bum that
your dog can sink its teeth into without worrying about the consequences.
Romp! Silly
Bums are adorable stuffed teasers and are great for dogs of all sizes.
These toys will even entertain dog owners. Go ahead and say it. “My dog has
some junk in the trunk!”

Slim down resolution: Toys to keep your pet active
For your dog: Angry Birds Tuff Stuff Flyer
This interactive novelty toy is tough and durable but at the same time this toy is flexible and easy on the dog's teeth. The flyer can be thrown long distances allowing for great games of fetch. It also hovers in the air- almost floating- and forcing the dog to stretch and work its muscles to retrieve it. Made with durable ballistic-nylon and double stitched seams this flyer also doubles as a chew toy for aggressive chewers. Play a game of Angry Birds with your pet!
