Holiday gifts for dogs

Gift Ideas for the Dog Lover in Your Life!

Christmas tree and giftsJessie, the presumed pampered pooch! Okay…you’re making a list and checking it twice, trying to figure out who’s naughty and nice (and in this household, I can tell you I am the latter and not the former!), but you are stumped as you don’t know what to get that dog-loving friend, relative or neighbor of yours! Jessie to the rescue! Here are some fun holiday gift ideas for that person in your life who simply adores his or her dog!

**How about a GPS for your dog?  Never worry about losing your beloved pet again with Tagg the Pet Tracker. You just attach it to your pet’s collar, and should he wander off to sights unseen, you can readily and confidently find him! Tagg.com has all the info.

**Decorative treat jars….those are always fun…even more fun when they are filled with delicious dog treats for those  furry four-legged buddies!

**How about some bling for the dog in the form of a blinged-out collar? It doesn’t have to be an every day collar, but something fun for those special occasions.  I fancy pink collars with sparkly crystals.

**An adorable doggie picture frame with a fun photo of your friend and her dog already in the frame!

**If you have an elderly or disabled friend or family member with a dog who cannot readily take the dog on walks, make coupons redeemable for free dog walking throughout the year!

**Go chic with some designer ceramic dog bowls and mats available at JonathanAdler.com. We like to eat off fine china, too! HA!

**A gift certificate to Joy of Living Pet Sitting Services! (Well, yeah, I had to throw this in here! It’s the perfect gift for those of you who live in the Kansas City area!)

Well, this is just food for thought.  Something to get you thinking! As for me, well, I hope to get a gift certificate for a full body massage and facial! I could use the relaxation time. That mangy cat Marty drives me nuts sometimes!

Buying a holiday gift for your dog

Jessie, the adorable canine:  Well, the holidays are upon us.  I am so eager to find out what Santa will bring me this year.  My list was long, yet simple.  I have refined tastes and am quite confident that my wishes will be granted.

Bo, the cranky cat today:  If you consider a lump of coal in your stocking to be refined, then so be it.  I really don’t think you have been all that good this year.  As for me, on the other hand, my behavior has been stellar.

Jessie:  We will confront that issue later this week when you get a few precious moments to talk about gifts for cats during the holidays.  So, as I was saying, the holidays are upon us, and as you go about shopping like crazy for friends and family members, do not forget about your true best friend!  Here are some great gift ideas, as provided by www.associatedcontent.com:

**A kennel (And, no, I will not lock Bo in it, as tempting as that sounds!)

**A new dog bowl (Something that will deter the cat, too!)

**An extended leash (So I can run farther away from Bo!)

**Training classes (I don’t need these, obviously, but some dogs just might!)

**Premium food  (Ah, yes, for those of us with refined palates!)

**A dog sweater (I look so adorable in these.  I’ll take two…no, three!)

**Tennis balls  (I will throw them and see if Bo will chase them.  Wonder how far I can throw?)

**Rawhide bones (I love to chew on these things.  I deserve them!)

**A new dog bed (To sleep like a queen, that is my desire!  Bo can sleep on the floor, like all good kitties!)

**Another dog! (I just might need a partner in crime when I am up against Bo!)

Have fun shopping this holiday season!  Be sure to make your dog smile!  And also be sure to check in with the pet sitting experts at Joy of Living Pet Sitting Services in Kansas City.  If you are going out of town this month and need some pet sitting services, give them a call!  They will make sure your pet does not miss a minute of love and attention!
