    CoCo's Wish List

    CoCo and his Christmas Kong There is an old saying that every dog has his day. CoCo thinks this really means every day IS his day and he takes advantage of every opportunity to have some fun!

    Here he is, after having the fun of opening his own Christmas present from his Aunt Janet...playing with his new toy Kong.

    From the look on his face I think he has decided this particular Kong is a good bit bigger than it looked in the catalog! But, he had a lot of fun with it anyway and try as he might, he has not been able to destroy it - now nearly 3 years later.

    Toys and dogs and fun all go together which is another reason why I think we humans like having them around.

    CoCo never asks for much...he never wants to borrow the car, doesn't stay on the computer all day, doesn't watch too much TV, and I'm not having to save for his college fund.

    If I walk up to the mailbox to get the mail, he greets me on my return as if I've been gone two years instead of two minutes! There is no downside to having a pet...except that their lifespan is not as long as we'd like it to be. This is even more reason to spoil them while you have them and to make sure they get the best food possible to live long and healthy lives.

    Keeping that in mind...when CoCo makes a wish list of things he'd like to have...I take note.

    Here are a few items CoCo either has or wants and things he thinks other dogs would LOVE....Slap a paw on any of the links to order.

    CoCo is already pretty sure of his heritage, but he may do some further investigating with one of these DNA Test Kits to get the full details!

    The DNA of any dog governs the appearance of the dog as well as being related to the general behavioral characteristics of the breed.

    In recent years, there has been a great deal of research performed on how differences in DNA give rise to the differences that are seen between breeds.

    Advances in DNA testing technology mean that it has become possible to identify the ancestry of any dog by performing a simple test using a cheek swab. The DNA required for the test to be run is isolated from cells that are trapped on the DNA ID Card. All cells carry the same genetic material, regardless of type or location in the animal. Taking a cheek swab is therefore the easiest way to obtain the samples needed for testing.


    iconicon CoCo has one of these Raised Bowl Dining Stands but it is not as pretty as this one.

    This wooden diner has a rich cherry finish that complements popular mission-style furniture. The elevated design allows pets to eat at a more natural angle for improved digestion. Each diner includes two stainless steel bowls, one for food and one for water...

    The larger your dog, the more important it is for them to have a raised stand for their food.

    Would you want to eat every day bent over from the waist?

    Gently cradles pets for the coziest, most supportive, therapeutic rest.

    Cover unzips for easy machine washing and is available in the 3 colors shown.


    iconicon Kong Air Dog Sticks are made with the same high-quality, rugged synthetic felt material as standard tennis balls.

    Constructed in a variety of wild shapes, these fetch toys never bounce the same way twice! This annoys the you-know-what out of our dogs, but keeps them thoroughly entertained at the same time.

    Air Toys are heavy-duty to withstand the roughest abuse, yet the soft felt cover is gentle to dogs' teeth. They're non-toxic, easy-to-clean, brightly colored, squeak when squeezed, and they float! Perfect for fun in any condition.


    iconicon Hercules Gumabones are softer and more flexible than the Galileo. Raised tips massage dog's gums while chewing.

    This is a toy with a real health purpose - especially for older dogs who have a tendency to develop gum and tooth issues - even periodontitis - Ouch!

    Great for dogs with strong jaws like Coco!

    Don't forget to pick a Gumabone in your dog's favorite color!
