Gift from Aunt Sue

My Aunt Sue and I never met before this week. She lives in Florida and is visiting us in NJ. She brought me a nice gift despite us never hanging out.

She knows me already:)

Jammin'

This is the cutest video of a Golden Retriever jamming to a guitar.  My dad plays the guitar but I don't have the moves this dog has.

Dog socks for people

Looking for a last minute gift idea for a pet owner? My owner just loves her Bernese mountain dog socks. They look just like me. She wears them all the time under her boots. She says they make her smile when she puts them on. Why not make someone else smile with socks?

We will be buying socks in the following breeds:
Papillon
Chocolate lab
Boxer
Bernese mountain dog

Mommy outing

My owner is out today with my best buddy dillons owner. We used to live around the corner from each other in Haddonfield. We spent so much time running around each others yard and having doggie play dates. I wish we could be together today but here's a pic of us separately today.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Furminator

Ever want to pretty much instantly feel 5 pounds lighter without doing much work? The furminator may be just the thing for you (assuming you are a big hairy dog). I love my furminator a little less than the blow dryer but still a whole lot. Being that I already have one, I'm just going to ask that my owner schedule some quality time to furminate me.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: A HAMPSTER!

I met my first hampster this summer at my neighbors house.  I would invite myself over so I could go stare at Chester on the wheel.

When not at the beach, I'd  go to my Fins & Feathers in Red Bank to stare at all the hampsters.  They where giving them away for free but my owners would never bring one home for me.

So for Christmas I'm gonna ask Santa for one of these.  Being that its a toy - I think my owners will let me keep him.    Based on the reviews, I think I'll also need a wheel or a ball to go with him.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Dog Tag Silencer

When I sleep at Katie's house I get asked to "take off my jewelry" before going to bed. My dog tags are pretty noisy.  Whether I'm walking around or just scratching an itch I am clanking away.   I think I just need new plastic bands around my dog tag and dog license.  Speaking of license, I need a new one too.  I think they are available through the town hall starting January 1.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Day of Christmas: Pet Acoustics App

Here's another good gift idea.  I just love Petacoustics on my owners iPhone.  This app is the perfect download for any dog that needs some relaxation music here and there.  I prefer to listen when its thundering and lightning.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Dog Games Star Spinner Treat Toy

The Kyjen Dog Games Star Spinner Treat Toy was featured on ABC just the other day.  It is the perfect gift for my gal Maggie.  Maggie is always up to something.  She needs something to keep her busy.  She usually prefers to spend her time opening the child proof gates to get into the living room but this may be just the thing.  It may be more of a gift for Maggie's owners.


As for me,  I don't need dog games to keep me happy. I find a good nap to be more entertaining.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Raised Food Bowls

My Pets Raised Water/Food Bowl is one of my favorite items.  I received one the first Christmas after I was adopted. My gal Bailey, St. Bernard, had a similar raised dog bowl set.

Prior to having one, I would lay down and drink from my bowls on the ground.  Its pretty funny. With my raised food bowls,  I can stand and enjoy my meals.

Heres a picture of how excited I was at Christmas to receive this!
Check them out here.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Little Tubzy's

This is Little Tubzy

My buddies that have been over to my house know how much I love my little Tubzy's.   I have a collection of 3 little Tubzys: Little Tubzy, Little Little Tubzy and Piccolo Tubzy.    Little looks like a puppy and Little Little is a bit smaller. Piccolo is from Italy therefore the name.   They are usually all over the house and I pick one of them up when I get excited.  You never know who I'm going to pick up.   When dog visitors come over they like to mess with me and grab a little Tubzy to taunt me.


 If you want a dog and dont have one - this is the perfect gift because berners are awesome.  If you do have a dog - a little puppy stuffed animal is a perfect buddy for your pup.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Thundershirt For Maggie

On the fifth day of Christmas, my owners gave to me Twitter Dog Updater,  Skull & Crossbone Poop Bags, Friskies Party Mix, Happy Hips Treats and a Thundershirt (for Maggie).

Does this cutie come with the Thundershirt?

I don't have one but I think they are supposed to apply gentle, constant pressure on a dog’s torso.   I guess its kind of like getting a hug whenever a dog wears one.  I love hugs and usually ask for them when I'm nervous.  This makes this a good gift for any dog that has anxiety.

I've heard that my girl Maggie also is comforted when wearing her tootsie roll Halloween costume.  Who knows, maybe it works with other dog apparel.  I'm no expert like Cesar Milan but they Thundershirt does offer a money back guarantee if it doesnt work for your pup.


Thundershirt is available at most local pet stores and online in  offer a several colors and size options.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Happy Hips Chicken & Apple Treats

 On the fourth day of Christmas, my owners gave to me Twitter Dog Updater,  Skull & Crossbone Poop Bags, Friskies Party Mix and Happy Hips Treats.

Bundt cake is my favorite treat but they aren't exactly healthy.   Dogswell Veggie Life Happy Hips Chicken & Apple Treats are my favorite healthy treat.  They are also good for hip health.  Us Berners need all the hip help we can get.   Whenever I get back from a walk,  I go right over to these treats so my owner doesnt forget to give me one. 

They are available in most specialty pet stores and online here.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Friskies Party Mix

On the Third Day of Christmas - I'm going to buy Denver some Friskies Party Mix.    If you haven't seen the video, check it out here. I know how he feels. I rarely do anything wrong but when I do I feel really bad.

Denver- If you are reading my blog, please send me your address.  

If Denver has had enough Party Mix, I think I'll donate some to the Monmouth County SPCA.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas:Skull and Crossbone Poop Bags

On the Second Day of Christmas, my owners gave to me aTwitter Dog Updater and  Skull and Crossbone Poop Bags.

I'm running a little low since I poop multiple times a day.  These are the coolest ones around.  Won't the other dogs at the dog park be jealous.

Tubzy's Twenty Four Days of Christmas: Dog Gift Ideas

You've heard of the Twenty Five Days of Christmas before but I've got the Twenty Four Days of Christmas.   I can't tell time so I'm a little late in posting from the beginning of the month.   

For my Twenty Four Days of Christmas,  I will be posting some cool dog gift ideas for the good dogs out there.   Some of these ideas will be things that I've received in the past as well as some things that are on my wish list...

Today's gift idea is the Twitter Dog Updater.  Being that I have a twitter handle (@bernesemntndog) I need to update more often.  This gadget will tweet for me when it detects movement or in my case - lack of activity.   It recognizes the time of day, day of week and holidays.  It will post different messages for me when I'm catching some zzzz or when I'm active.  

My owners sister Mary thought this would be the perfect gift for me.  I agree.  Maybe I can fire my owner as my personal assistant someday.
