Holiday Gifts

The countdown to Christmas has started and here is some interesting news from our local WPVI television station:

Man's best friend is apparently becoming a bigger part of the family. Eight in 10 pet owners say they are going to get their four legged friends Christmas presents. One quarter say they will spend $50 bucks, according to a survey by Pet Plan, which sells pet insurance. Get this: 71% say they sign their pet's name in the family greeting card. A majority even have a special stocking for their pet.


What about you? Planning to give your pooch a holiday treat? Of course, you know my number one pick would be The Culinary Canine, the gift that keeps on giving as you prepare thirty different recipes to share with your best friend--yes, most of the recipes are people and pet friendly. It might not fit in the stocking but it sure would look nice under the tree!

I always include my pets in whatever holiday plans the family has. I usually get my dog some sort of natural bone (last year he got a calf leg with some meat still on the bone) and I'll get catnip for our 2 cats. This year I'm spoiling man's best friend again this year with this ortho pet bed I found while browsing Sportsman's Guide top selling products. It's supposedly good for his back and hips. I want to buy the cats something special too, but they aren't as easy to shop for haha.
