My recent blogs have focused on rather serious topics, so I think it’s time to lighten things up a bit!  To that end, I would like to share some recent Speaking for Spot  sightings that prompted me to laugh out loud. I hope they have the same effect on [...]

Every dog, and every human, has those special moments when getting outside for the business walk just isn’t possible. And no matter how much you may dislike the politicians shown in today’s newspaper, doing number 1 and number 2 atop newsprint is so low class! That’s why Dogasaur is thrilled to be able to call your attention to Hammacher Schlemmer’s Indoor Dog Restroom. Looks like a lawn, smells like a lawn and absorbs like a lawn; yet it doesn’t die, you simply clean it after the big event. Porous, antimicrobial turf lets wee-wee drain through to the tray below. The main benefit of this product is that it offers a controlled clean up situation, raising the quality of life for the lucky dogs that use it.

* Mat and tray system

* Provides an acceptable indoor potty for your K-9

* Anti-microbial turf

Go ahead and admit it; when your dog is lost, you feel lost too. Say “Never again!” to the ineffably lousy feeling that comes from not knowing where in the world your K-9 has gone. The Zoombak collar device uses space age technology to report your dog’s exact location to you if it roams outside of your specified “comfort zones.” Imagine that with the latest software upgrades, the Zoombak can even tell you how fast your dog is moving. No sooner does the prodigal pooch stray away then you receive a text message; the joyous reunification and forgiveness can’t be long delayed! It’s a brave new world in which your feelings of panic are spared along with your neighbors’ gardens.

* NEW lower price!

* Customizable up to ten safety zones

* Easy-to-use

* Enhances your peace of mind

A walk with your dog just got a whole lot easier, because now, instead of you lugging around toys, beer (uh, water), snacks and the like, you can slip a backpack onto him and let him cart the stuff around.  The Excursion Backpack is made especially for dogs that are on the go. Easy on and easy off, it’s made of the ubiquitously durable, lightweight ripstop nylon. It attaches with quick-clips around the torso, and the padded torso strap provides extra comfort. There’s enough room for food, water and gear. There’s even a side pouch for a Port-a-Bowl. If he complains, just tell him stories about the St. Bernard rescue dogs in their glory days. Then drink up, reminding him it’s going to be a lot easier on the homestretch because all the bottles will be empty.  *Hook up with a leash using a D-ring (included).

*Great training tool for high-energy dogs who need additional exercise.

*Reflective accents add safety against outdoor conditions.

The first team of caregivers to enter Haiti to help its animals also has managed to collect an American couple’s two dogs — which survived not only this month’s earthquake but also Hurricane Katrina.
The dogs, Deiter, a dachshund, and Bella, a dachshund/Lab mix, had been abandoned by separate [...]

When it comes to leashes, less can sometimes mean more. So when you’re in those in-between moods and need something to pull on, the handmade Amish Leerburg.com designed leather drag leash may be just what the doctor ordered.  Its length makes it easy to grab but not long enough to get tangled on every obstacle that comes into harm’s way. The lightweight leather is especially good with the transition from precision heeling work with a prong collar to off-leash obedience work. Although strong enough for correctional use and mild bondage, it is light enough to work in agility training and general around-the-house control.  All this function comes with a cost–left to their own devices, dogs might very well chew on this leash. And that’s not good.  So unless you’re not there to crack the whip, leave the leash in the closet, where it belongs.
