Kong Wubba Halloween Bat for Dogs Reviewed

Some toys are just too cute!  I bought this Kong Wubba bat for our Labrador retriever, Watson.  He loves Wubbas and the bat seemed like the perfect Halloween gift.  Of course, I gave it to him weeks before Halloween.  He immediately started carrying it around as his favorite new toy.  He even "flew" the bat around the backyard so it could get a good look at it's new home.

The Wubba bat is absolutely adorable with it's big smile and silver wings.  Like other Wubba toys, it has the long floppy tails that make it easy for a pup to catch and carry.  It also has the squeaker in the round "head" which seems to bring great joy to Watson as he bites down on the Wubba.

Watson's Bat Wubba is black and orange, as shown in the photos.  However, the bat Wubbas on Amazon are black and purple.  Either set of colors are awesome!

KONG Wubba Bat Toy

 KONG Halloween Wubba Bat Small 2 Pack Check PriceThe black and purple colors of the bat that is available on Amazon are perfect for Halloween or anytime of the year!  

The silver wings on all of the bats make them glisten in the sun when our dog is running through the yard with the bat in his mouth.  The reflective wings also make this Wubba easier to find. 

The rugged reinforced nylon exterior is durable and great for dogs chewing, biting, and playtime.  

Wubba's are always fun toys for the toss-and-catch game between people and pets.   

This Wubba's height is 9.5 inches and has a 7" wide wingspan.

Halloween Vampire Costume for Dogs Reviewed

This will be our first Halloween with our baby dog, Watson, so of course, he needs a special costume.  The vampire cape seemed like the perfect choice for him since each member of our family has a vampire cape.  Plus, even sweet, non-biting dogs like Watson have canine teeth that look like vampire fangs.

The vampire cape I selected for Watson has really pretty trim that is "fancier" and more detailed than any that is on our human capes.  It is quite lovely.  The cape is black with a red lining, which is exactly like our family capes.  The red lining makes an excellent background color for Watson's gorgeous black fur.

I can hardly wait until the trick-or-treaters to come to our door on Halloween.  We will let Watson sit inside the glass front door as our greeter.  However, we will not let him out for them to pet this year.  Since he is only a year old, he gets pretty excited to meet and greet guests.  He still needs a few years to mature before he will be ready to interact, but he can clearly serve inside the door as "sentinel" this year.  

 

Halloween Vampire Cape Costume for Dogs

 Halloween Dog Vampire CostumeCheck PriceI purchased a large size cape for Watson.  As you can see in his photo in the introduction, the cape is not as long as it looks on the German Shepherd in the photo on the right.  Frankly, I'm not sure the product photo on the right is a real photo of a dog actually wearing the cape, but the large cape we received for Watson is the perfect size for him.  He is not likely to be tripping on it or getting tangled in it if he takes off running in the backyard.  

There are also leg straps on each side of the cape.  We are not using them. Watson is too active to have straps around the top of his legs.  However, if he was going to sit still, they would be good for holding the cape in place.  

One important thing to note, I was surprised at the quality of the fabric on this pet costume.  It is not flimsy and doesn't look or feel like it will be easy to tear.  It is also a soft, silky type of material, not one that will be itchy for baby dog to wear.  That makes this pet costume more desirable than most since they often use inferior fabric on dog costumes.   

 

Watson is also actually wearing his cape in the introduction photo above!  

Here is a side picture of Watson in his cape.  You can see how far down his back the cape really goes.  Of course, you can also see he adores his daddy!

Small Automatic Sensor Touchless Lidded Trash Can Reviewed

I like having a garbage can in each bathroom, but I don't want one that takes up a lot of room.  Our half bath is small and has only the area on each side of the toilet for anything extra.  I already have my toilet paper holder storage stand on one side, which leaves only the other side for a small garbage can.  

I had several concerns when I started looking for a garbage can for our half bathroom.  It needed to be small and it definitely needed to have a lid.  Our baby dog, Watson, thinks any "box" needs to be investigated.  An open garbage can is an open invitation for him to inspect.  

A Kleenex is one of Watson's favorite finds.  He also thinks toilet paper rolls are fun toys.  I don't really mind him having either as long as they are clean, but a used Kleenex should be off limits to our baby dog.  I also want him protected from Q-tips or the plastic wrappers on bottles, like mouthwash.  

Unfortunately, like most people, we also have flies that come in when an exterior door is opened.  They are always drawn to smells or damp paper towels.  Having a lidded trash can traps trash odors and dampness inside the can so it doesn't draw flies. 

Therefore, a lid is essential. 

 

Automatic Touchless Garbage Can 

 KOEYLE 2 Pack 2.2 Gallon Automatic Touchless Garbage Can, Small Motion Sensor Smart Trash Can, Slim Waterproof Trash Bin for Bedroom, Bathroom, Office, Living Room, WhiteAs I previously noted, this is a small trash can, therefore it fits perfectly between the wall and the toilet.  

The touchless lid has a motion sensor and opens automatically so germs are not transferred on or off your hands.  Since you don't need to touch the lid to open or close it, the lid itself stays cleaner.  My husband frequently comes into the house with dirty hands from working on the cars or in the backyard.  He can toss paper towels directly in the trash can without touching it and then wash his hands.

I like the ability to toss Q-tips, cleaning wipes, tissues, cotton balls, product wrappers, mouthwash cups, etc. in the trashcan without having to have a free hand to open the lid.  As with all trash can lids, it prevents odor from spreading outside of the can. 

• Battery (2 AA batteries) Operated Sensor Lid
• Opens when Motion Detected 
• Closes when No Motion is Detected for 5 seconds 
• 2.2 Gallon
• Uses Small Interior Trash Bags
• Interior Trash Bag Retention Ring to Hold Trash Bag in place
• Waterproof & Moisture Resistant 
• 9.3" L x 6" W x 12.6" H
• Available in White or Black 

This touchless trash can will also open manually.  Simply press the up arrow button to open. After use, just press the down arrow button to close the lid.  This is a fabulous feature for replacing the trash bag or activities like clipping nails over the bin.

The Deepest Cut by P.J. Tracy - A Monkeewrench Novel

 This review is of book number 11 in the 11-book Monkeewrench series. 

It has been a few years since PJ Tracy wrote another book in her popular series, having paused to write a 4-book series featuring Margaret Nolan, a California police detective. Now, Book Eleven in the Monkeewrench series is here and the characters I love are back! 

Most mysteries have one or two main characters and an assortment of minor characters. The Monkeewrench series has 6 main characters (the homicide detective team of Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolsteth and the 4 person Monkeewrench team of Grace, Harley Davidson, Annie and Roadrunner (who together are collectively referred to as Monkeewrench throughout the stories).  

Monkeewrench is a software company whose expert computer team developed a program to help law enforcement with difficult cases.  Since they are based in Minneapolis, the police they help most often is the MPD homicide department.  

The minor characters which populate this series are just as interesting and fun to get to know as the main characters. Written with a large dose of humor, the drama of the crimes being investigated are mitigated by this lightheartedness. We love the interaction between Leo and Gino and among the other members of the homicide department. And the fascinating characters seem to grow with each publication, giving us a group of characters who seem so real and so likable with each reading that we become convinced they are all real. 

Gino’s complaints about the Minnesota weather in each book are very relatable to those who have experienced similar situations (it’s way too hot with too many mosquitoes [SUMMER]. Or, it’s too bitterly cold here; I’m moving to Florida! [WINTER] ). 

And let’s not forget Charlie, the mongrel abandoned dog taken in by Grace, who is scared of his own shadow until he learns what a home with love is all about. 

I have dearly missed the Monkeewrench team and all their adventures during the time between Book 10 (2019) and Book 11 (2025).  Welcome back, Monkeewrench ~ you have been missed!

A Brief Synopsis of The Deepest Cut

In Book ten, homicide detectives Leo & Gino arrested a pair of killers for the murder of several women, aided by their cyber-sleuth friends and partners at Monkeewrench.  One of the killers has a fatal heart attack after being arrested; the other (Wolfgang Mauer) is sent to a maximum security mental hospital in rural Minnesota.

In The Deepest Cut, we find Mauer plotting his escape (with help from his ‘mother’) and planning a revenge involving the detectives and the Monkeewrench crew who got him a life sentence.

The escape is successful and three bodies and the kidnapping of a 10-year-old boy later, an inexperienced county sheriff finds herself head-first in a massive manhunt. She teams up with Minneapolis homicide and Monkeewrench to find Mauer before more people die.

Summary

I recommend reading the Monkeewrench Series by P.J. Tracy starting with Book One (Monkeewrench / Want to Play?), as each book in the series builds on characters we meet in subsequent books. The interactions and backstories help understand the characters better as we meet them again in each new book. In Book Eleven (The Deepest Cut), we find that the county sheriff helping solve the current case is someone we first met in Book Ten. :) 

Even the authors’ backstory is fascinating: they were actually a mother-daughter duo using a pseudonym.

Welcome to the Monkeewrench Series by P.J. Tracy!

Halloween Milk-Bone Spooky Biscuits Flavored Dog Treats Reviewed

It has become a tradition in our home to gift our precious dog with holiday milk-bones.  He loves all milk-bones, including the puppy sized milk-bone treats.  Even though he is slightly over a year old, we are letting him finish off the small sized puppy milk-bone biscuits. 

With Halloween approaching, I actually searched for the Halloween holiday Milk-Bone biscuits so stores didn't sell out before I got them for him.  I purchased 3 boxes.  When the box arrived, Watson, our baby dog, attacked the box.  Clearly, he smelled the Milk-Bone treats through the shipping box.  He was extremely excited for me to get the box open quickly so he could start his feast.  He sought out his favorite shape.  I don't know if he chose the ghost because of the shape, smell, flavor, or color, but the ghost is his favorite of the spooky treats.

There are 4 different spooky biscuits in the box:  Ghost, Pumpkin, Monster, & Bat.  Totally appropriate Halloween treats for the canine member of the family! 

 

Milk-Bone Halloween Spooky Biscuit Treats

 Milk-Bone Spooky Biscuits, Halloween Dog Treats, 24 Oz. PailCheck PriceWatson loves the taste, smell and crunch of Milk-Bone treats.  I limit treats to 2 at a time.  Baby Dog would eat the whole box if I would let him.  I think we all have our favorite foods that we would keep eating until it's gone.

The box contains 24 ounces of spooky dog treats.  That is approximately 150 treats.

Like the Easter Milk-Bones, the Milk-Bones Spooky Biscuits come in a lightweight pail with a handle.  The pail lid clips shut to maintain freshness.   The picture on the pail features a golden retriever wearing a witch hat and is absolutely adorable.

• 12 Vitamins & Minerals
• Reduces Tartar on Teeth 
• Helps Freshen Breath
• Limited Edition 24 oz Pail
• Happy Halloween Treats!

K&H Self-Warming Crate Pad For Dogs Reviewed

This has been the year of traversing through senior pet products and many trips to return items as well. The senior pet product market has definitely expanded with a plethora of products. After searching for pet heating pads, the almost 6000 positive reviews caught my attention for the K & H Self Warming Crate/Heating Pad.

This is a thin pad covered with microfleece and sized to standard crates, but can be used as a stand alone item. I paired the pad with an orthopedic bed.

Does The Pad Work?

Yes, it does. It generates a very gentle low level warmth.

Why I Like This Pad Over A Pet Heating Pad?

I did try and return an electrical pet heating pad. Not because the pad did not work, but because I had concerns regarding the necessity of supervision I felt necessary with a heating pad even with auto turn off features.

I prefer the Self Warming Pad with no need to find electricity. This makes the pad very portable. The pad is already sized to common crate sizes and is washable. Owners also report the pad works wonderfully for cats and laps.

The price point is reasonable and what is interesting when reading the comments and reviews are the number of people who bought the product for their pet and after seeing how well the pad worked, returned to purchase another for them! Great Idea!

Shifty Sid the Squid Dog Toy Reviewed

A lot of dog toys are made for any size dog, therefore they tend to be small if given to a full grown large breed dog.  The BarkBox Shifty Sid the Squid dog toy is big!  He is the perfect size for a big dog. 

When our son traveled out of town for a concert, he came back bearing souvenir gifts for everyone in the household, including Watson, our year old Labrador Retriever.  He brought Watson a Sid the Squid dog toy that he found in the Cracker Barrel shop on the way home.  Watson loves the big squid!  

Shifty Sid the Squid has legs that crackle which Watson really enjoys.  No matter which leg he grabs, it makes a sound.  Plus, if he bites the squid in the head, it squeaks.  Because of the awesome sound effects, the squid is easily Watson's favorite indoor toy ever.  

The first few nights "Sid" was here, Watson carried him to bed with him.  Watson's bed is at the foot of our bed.  Needless to say, as Watson would wake in the night or roll over, Sid would make a sound and Watson was on immediate alert, then attack.  Both my husband and I woke up laughing at the Watson & Sid battles.  It really was worth the disturbed rest.

The following morning Watson would bring Sid to the kitchen for breakfast.  Sid didn't eat breakfast, but he waited patiently for playtime.

Now, a few weeks later, Sid often remains in "bed" until playtime, but he is still Watson's first choice for play.  

Watson's squid is a different color than the one on Amazon, but they are the same toy otherwise. 

 

 BarkBox Shifty Sid the Squid Dog Toy - for Dogs | Plush Squeaky Toy with Crazy Crinkle & Whip-N-Flip Legs - Interactive Thrash & Play ToyCheck PriceBarkbox Shifty Sid the Squid Dog Toy

The Barkbox squid dog toy is 17" long.  He has a fat mantle (body section above the head & eyes) that makes him easy for our big dog to carry.  He can also be carried by his crinkling legs.  

Sid the Squid is made of a soft, plush material that is gentle on a dogs mouth, as well as a human's body if they get in the way of the thrashing squid. 

His eyes are embroidered instead of crafting or wiggy eyes that could be pulled out and swallowed.  Therefore, Sid is safe for roughhousing with Watson.  If his eyes were detachable, they would have been ripped out in minutes upon his arrival.

Clearly, the BarkBox Shifty Sid the Squid dog toy was/is an excellent choice for an 80+ pound puppy dog that enjoys having a durable interactive toy.  

 

Watson's Squid Friend has Reversed Colors. His Squid is Lime colored with Blue Leg Interior Fabric.
Watson still has his pretty puppy looks, but his body is full grown in the picture above, so you can see how big the squid toy is by comparison

Anti Slip Dog Protector Pads Reviewed

 The battle of the hardwood floors continues! Upon the positive recommendation of a friend with a senior dog I tried the Anti Slip pads to evaluate if this was a tool for the older dog arsenal. 

The stick on paw pads are shaped like the bottom of a dogs paw and are peel n stick. There are little rubber treads all over the stick on pads to help with traction on smooth floors.

Installation

The pads were easy to install and my dog tolerated them well. Did he love the pads? No But he didn't try to remove the pads either. I do think the tolerance would be dog specific as dogs can be very picky about their feet. However, compared to other senior dog products for traction the pads were one of the least intrusive. 

Do They Work?

Yes, they do help with traction.

Price Point

There are a few manufacturers on the market, search dog paw protectors online to examine the selection. The prices do vary. 

Recommendation

This is a product I ultimately returned. The product did work for my situation as  I found the removal of the product was too cumbersome and difficult. 

My friend loves the pads and reports the pads fall off regularly after a few days and she simply replaces the pads with no muss, no fuss. If the pads I used had fallen off that would be highly preferable than attempting to unstick the pads.

I definitely believe the pads are worth trying to evaluate if they are a good fit for your dog.

Which Product Helped The Most?

After weeks of evaluation and a few trial and error attempts,  I found the best solution actually using 2 products simultaneously : Dr. Buzby Toe Grips for the rear paws and the Tiger Toes socks for the front paws. 

Full Review on Dr. Buzby's Here.

Tiger Toes Review

Tiger Toes ? My first thought was what a cute name and my second thought was... I hope these work!

Tiger Toes are grip socks for senior dogs to help with traction for joint, age, mobility issues. The grip design is patented and effective to assist traction particularly on hardwood or tile floors.

Do They Work?

Yes, absolutely. However, each dog is unique as to why additional traction is needed and how much- I'm sure we'd all like more but the increase in stable footing is noticeable/ 

Design

These socks were designed with the dog and owner in mind! If you have every tried to put dog boots on then the struggle can be huge. Last winter was so cold we had no choice in my area then to put boots on the dogs for their protection. 

Tiger Toes is a combo of traction like boots, but the material is lightweight. Because the socks have grip on each side and by design can be twisted and still usable; the socks are much easier to put on each leg. The width of the sock is also forgiving vs the narrow boot. 

The socks do extend up the leg with a velco fastener. I found the fastener was not really necessary and appreciated the lack of zippers, buttons, sticky patches which can be hindering or stick to fur.

Twist Factor

One of the best features is the sock can rotate or twist around the foot and not only works, but does not constrict the dog. I have found with boots many times one boot will twist backward and well... that really annoys the dog (we wouldn't want to walk around with one shoe backward!!)

Washable

Yes, the Tiger Toes are washable.

Sizes

The toes come in medium, large, extra large. Medium works on my medium sized dog. After a few looks at the Tiger Toes, he has adjusted quickly. 

I was admittedly skeptical after trying a few products to help with senior dog mobility with mixed results. It can take a few tries with dogs and aids to find one that fits the dog and fits the problem. 

I found the Tiger Toes delivered as promised at a very reasonable price point for the product. My only wish is that an extra sock would be included cause... just like human laundry, there can be a black hole for socks!

Hide Power Strip, Cords & Cables in Attractive Storage Box Reviewed

I was extremely surprised when our baby dog chewed the ends off of two of my charging cords.  He was not even left alone, but he was being quiet as a little mouse.  We had no idea he was chewing on cords that were plugged into the wall, but not being used at that moment.  None of our other dogs have ever chewed on any cords so I was not properly prepared for our baby dog.  However, I am now!

I promptly went to Amazon to find a way to cover and hide all of my charging cords, as well as the power strip.  I was thrilled to realize I was not alone.  Clearly, other people have needed a way to hide away cords that were plugged into the wall.  I am sure some elected to hide the cords for aesthetics, but for me, that was a side benefit to hiding the cords.

The storage box I chose has a magnetic closure that holds the lid down, but is easy for me to open and close.  It also has an opening on both sides and across the back for cooling and pulling the cords through when in use.  At night, I do wrap all of the cords up, put them in the box and turn off the power strip so the Midnight Marauder, aka our baby dog, does not have access to the power strip or any cords.  Much safer and less stressful than leaving them in plain sight for "testing".  

  

Solid Wood Cable Management Box

It is very attractive sitting on my storage cabinet, which was another recent purchase to hide away papers, books, office supplies, etc.  If it is out, our baby dog believes it is fair game.

As I noted earlier, there is an opening on either side for the cords when they are in use, but the power strip and plugs are always hidden inside the box.  There is also a long opening along the back of the box for cooling, which is imperative.

Another side benefit to the box is that is keeps dust off of the power strip and plugs.

32" Mid Century Modern Slim Accent Cabinet Reviewed

I had not previously planned an update to my home office area, but after my sweet baby dog, Watson, discovered my electronics chargers, it became necessary.  He only chewed the ends off of two chargers, but I didn't wish to see that activity continued or encouraged by danging cords.

Two home office furniture purchases were immediately made, in addition to the replacement charging cords.  I bought a new cabinet to hold all of my business papers, organizers, planners, office supplies and of course, chargers.  Plus, I purchased a box for my power strip and chargers (reviewed separately).

This turned out to be a fabulous change!  I had not realized how "messy" my work area shelves looked to anyone else with my file trays and books visible.  Once I put them all inside the cabinet, I was amazed at how much better my work area looked.  It really is a tremendous improvement.  I can thank Watson for helping me realize a change was needed and I can thank God that baby dog was not electrocuted helping me out. 

Now, I await the "Midnight Marauder's" aka Watson's next discovery! 

 

Slim Accent Cabinet

 32" Mid Century Modern Slim Accent CabinetCheck Price

Because my open shelves were conveniently located right next to my chair, I sought a cabinet with sliding doors and interior shelves.  I selected the 32" slim cabinet because of the width of the wall next to my chair.  It fit my area perfectly.  Plus, it is quite attractive.  Much nicer than open shelves!

This cabinet would be pretty anywhere in a home.  It would be a great cabinet in the kitchen, dining room, den, or hallway.  Wherever you need extra storage.  I love the sliding doors because they don't require extra area to open out.

It arrived well packaged with protective styrofoam on the ends and thin packing sheets separating the pieces so they did not rub against each other.  It took approximately 30 minutes to assemble.

Dr Buzby's ToeGrips for Dogs Review

Tile floors and hardwood floors can be quite problematic for your dog as age advances and mobility decreases. Or perhaps your dog is recovering from surgery and needs a temporary mobility aid to navigate the home. Dr. Buzby's toegrips is a product I've always had bookmarked as a possible aid to try.

Toegrips are designed by a vet to ideally assist older dogs with traction and mobility. The toegrips are little rubber sleeves which slide on each nail. 

Installation

My first thought looking at the size of the grips was whoa! The installation could be very challenging if you dog is not cooperative as many dogs have issues with alot of handling of paws and feet. I knew my dog would be cooperative, but even with a very cooperative senior dog, the installation was a little cumbersome at a minimum.

The opening of  toegrips are very small and it took me three times to find the size for my dog. The sizing chart was incorrect for my dog; however, that is usual as well. It was easy to return and exchange. 

The toegrips are soaked in alcohol per instructions and then "slid" on the nail. The instructions provided are very specific and easy to follow but it was tedious so bring patience. There are 20 toegrips per package and reviewers report the grips are long lasting before replacements are required.

Did The Toegrips Work?

This would be subjective I believe for each unique situation. I believe the toegrips help from my experience. Traction definitely improved and to date all toegrips remain from the original installation.

Price

These are not inexpensive. Price is subjection, I do think if this is the product that works great for your dog and its' mobility, then the price will be paid without a blink,  I don't know if I've seen the prices vary too much if all all. I'd like to see a lower price point or more in the package for value, but again, very subjective.
