4 Gifts for Pets and Pet Lovers Blog Hop - Holiday Gift Ideas

Welcome to the Four Gifts for Pets Blog Hop!  You may have heard about the 4 gift challenges for kids where parents plan to get their children just four gifts: something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read.  Well, we love the idea, but we're applying it to pets and pet lovers!

1. Want - the Nina Ottosson Tornado Game from Chewy

Rudy and Rosie love their Nina Ottosson Tornado game so much that they now want a new one. The DogTwister is a challenging and fun game - great for mental stimulation. They'll have to look for treats by moving one block after another in a circle in different directions. We've found the DogTwister (and other puzzle dog toys) on sale at Chewy.com


2.  Need - One Dog Organic Bakery Dog Treats

Rudy and Rosie are sure that they need some gourmet dog treats from One Dog Organic Bakery.  I think they're probably right! Fetch the festive tin shown up top filled with up to 6 varieties of grain free dog treats in your choice of coolies: Gingerbread Men, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Ginger Snaps, Peanut Butter Honey, Peanut Butter Cranberry, and Pumpkin Spice.


3.  Wear - Jewelry from For Love of a Dog

 
Shop for one of a kind artisan jewelry at For Love of a Dog and snag some barking good bargains in their holiday sale.  You'll find dog breed jewelry, as well as Dog Mom, Rescue, Horse, Cat and so much more.  There might even be a Christmas ornament in your favorite dog breed, but these are selling out fast!  For Love of a Dog Jewelry is handmade by Rudy and Rosie's mama who really loves dogs.  Rudy is in charge of shipping and he says:  Free US shipping!

 
4.  Read - Jackie Bouchard Books

Jackie Bouchard, a USA Today bestselling author, writes what she calls Fido-friendly fiction: humorous and heartwarming stories about women and the dogs that profoundly impact their lives. Fun reads that make perfect gifts for dog lovers AND you never have to worry about the fate of the dog!  Snap up her new House Trained for just $10 and help give back this season at the Book Sparks Holiday Gift Guide.  Get any of her books in paperback or Kindle at Amazon.com

Beating Boredom on Rainy Days with a Tornado | Wordless Wednesday

I originally bought this Nina Ottosson Tornado game to 

help Rudy and Rosie  with their depression after we lost Jeffie.  

They love it and it sure came in handy lately with five solid days of rain. 

Rudy caught on right away and it takes him no time at all to find the treats. (And yes, I've tried putting the little dog bone covers on a couple of the compartments to slow him down.  Mistake. He will not paw them out and he has such a soft mouth he won't remove them that way either.)

What does slow him down is letting Rosie work on it with him.  

Pretty funny to watch Miss Greedy try to beat him.

At various times of the day Rosie will go over and check the tornado. 

Just in case a Zuke's Mini has found it's way into one of the compartments.

Don't tell them, but Santa is bringing them the Twister for Christmas.
