Living with a dog, there are a few things we are really happy to have around. Since it's the time of year for gifting, we want to share these ideas with you. <\/p>\n

Pawz Dog Boots <\/h2>\n

Poppy gets a lot of attention in her little red boots. (Or "Ruby Slippers<\/a>" as one woman on Newbury Street called them. We like that term and have adopted it.)<\/p>\n

The photo above is from Poppy's first day wearing Pawz Water-Proof Dog Boots<\/a>\"\". She accepted them right away and gave them a good workout as she experienced her first measurable snowfall as a wee pup!<\/p>\n

Since they do wear out, you can even give these as a thank you gift to another pup who is a good pal to your dog.<\/p>\n

Mambe 100% Waterproof Furniture or Bed Covers<\/h2>\n

We have told you about our wonderful Mambe waterproof furniture covers<\/a> before, here:<\/p>\n

The Mambe Pet Blanket Gets a Paws Up from All Three of Us!<\/a><\/p>\n

Has someone hosted you and your dog in the past and perhaps is going to welcome you this holiday season? What could be a better appreciation gift to your host or hostess and a reliable cover to protect their furniture or bedding from accidental wetness?<\/p>\n

Mambes are not inexpensive but they are worth the price and would be great to have at any regular destination. We take a twin size one when we travel to cover the sofa in our apartment or hotel room and to put down the center of the bed at night to make a safe place for Poppy.<\/p>\n

Headlamp<\/h2>\n

Trying to hold a flashlight while examining a pet's ear, paw, or mouth is frustrating. You need two hands for the job and an assistant to distract the critter if possible. These headlamps<\/a> allow you to direct the light where your eyes are focused. You will find dozens of other uses for them when you are doing DYI or crafts. We also find them useful when taking Poppy for a last walk of the night on a dark beach. <\/p>\n

When you have a dog that eats with gusto, you may find yourself with spills and frustration as the pup chases the dish around the floor. For years we used sticky mats to hold the bowl to a tray. Then we found the ezpz line<\/a> of silicone placemat and bowl combinations. Poppy's favorite is the ezpz Happy Bowl – One-piece silicone placemat + bowl,<\/a> shown above.<\/p>\n

We wrote about this in more detail here:<\/p>\n
