Kong Tugger Knot Review And Giveaway

Hi, everyone! Its me, Lily! Are you enjoying our Valentine's day giveaways? Remember, there are two more today, plus hopefully one more later on in the week if it ever comes in the mail! 


Sammy-Joe and Trixie both got to do giveaways, so Mama said I get to do this one. I'm so happy, since I'm the one who's been playing the most with our newest toy!

The people from Kong sent us a Tugger Knot Lion!

What is a Tugger Knot? Its a toy that combines a rope toy with a stuffie. You see, the stuffie is wrapped around the rope toy, making a super-strong, stuffing-free stuffie. It has a rope handle on each end, so you can play Tug-A-War with your human or with a doggie friend. I play Tug-A-War with Trixie sometimes, but I always win because I am more ferocious than Trixie!

It has a squeaker in it too, which makes me love it even more!
Here are the ways I like to play with my Tugger Knot lion. I play Tug-A-War with Mama or Trixie. Or, I chew on it to make it squeak. Or, I command my Mama to throw it for me, and then I chase it and bring it back. Or, I pick it up and SHAKE IT SHAKE IT SHAKE IT!!!!! (Mama says that last way of playing is why I destroy most of my toys. But this one seems pretty tough!)

The Kong people said I can give away THREE Tugger Knot toys to my friends! THREE, I tell you! They come in Small/Medium and Medium/Large, so big doggies should feel free to apply. They also come in four animal stuffies: Lion (like I have), frog, monkey and moose.

Trixie Announces The Winner Of The Dog Toy Giveaway!

 ANNOUNCEMENT: Some people have been saying they've had weird things happening with pop-ups on this blog. Our Mama says she thinks she figured out the problem and fixed it... but please let us know if you see more pop-ups, or if strange websites just suddenly appear on your screen. We only want banner ads to quietly exist on our site! We don't want to force anyone to look at pop-ups and stuff.Thanks for your help!

Hi, everyone! Its me, Trixie. Yesterday at 5:00 pm Central, I used the Random Name Generator to pick a winner for the Pogo Plush toy from Premier Pet Products! And the winner is...


That is kinda weird, really, because we won a giveaway from Cooper And Lola last week! Lily won some boots frm them. We swear we didn't set it up this way though... we used the Random Name Picker! Anyways,congratulations! Please email us at dupagekids@gmail.com with your mailing information, and we will forward it to the people at Premier so they can send you your prize!

In case anyone is wondering, our Pogo Plush bunny is still going strong! Even though my little sister Lily picks it up and shakes it with all her might and runs around with it and jumps up and down on it and does everythiing else tiny, hyper doggies like to do! There are no holes in it, and the squeaker still works! Not bad, for a toy we've had for almost two weeks! If you didn't win, and you'd like to get a Pogo Plush, a Doorway Dangli, or another Premier pet toy, you can check out their store locator. Premier products are sold at Petco, Petsmart, and Menards, as well as a lot of smaller local pet supply places. 

Thanks so much, Premier, for sending us our toys and letting us give some away to our friends!

We also want you to know that we're having a BIG Valentine's Day giveaway. Its going to start on Saturday, February 1. Okay, its not a huge giveaway like a car or anything like that... Its actually several small giveaways in one day. Its a Valentine's Day giveaway, but we're going to end it on February 9th so the winners can actually get their prizes by Valentine's Day. What do you think of that?

Oh and I almost forgot. You know Mayzie? Beautiful, brindle doggie with big, sweet brown eyes? Thursday is her Blogoversary! She and her Mom are planning a Commentathon. For every comment made, they'll donate 25 cents to the animal rescue organization that rescued Mayzie from her really rotten old life, where she was tied up in someone's backyard all the time, and helped her find her new Mom and Dad who love her to bits! And if thats not cool enough, they're also going to randomly draw a name from the commentators, and that person will get to make a matching donation to an animal shelter of their choice! So on Thursday, make sure to go over to Mayzie's Dog Blog and make a comment, okay? 

Alright. My Mama is eating a cookie right now. I can see her over there munching on it! I am going to go beg her for a piece. See ya later!

Now Here's Trixie With A DOG Giveaway!

 Hi everyone! You may or may not know that the kitty among us, Sammy-Joe, is hosting a giveaway for a FunKitty Doorway Dangli by Premier Pet Products. Well, I've got more news! The lady from Premier also sent something for Lily and I! She sent us a Pogo Plush bunny!

The Pogo Plush bunny looks like a regular stuffie... but... and this is something your Mamas and Daddies will like a lot... it has no stuffing! Do you like to tear the stuffing out of your stuffies like we do? Well, with this, you can't. Sorry. But don't worry, its still super fun!

See, its not all floppy like some stuffingless toys. There is a thick rubber frame inside. That means... yep... it bounces! And it squeaks! When I shake it, I can hear the squeaker rattling around inside!

My crazy little sister Lily loves to shake our new bunny. I think she wants to kill it. She picks it up in her mouth and shake-shake-shakes like crazy! She also likes it when Mama throws it, so she can go get it and bring it back fifty million times, just like she does with her ball.
I, on the other hand, like to play tug-of-war with my Mama with it. I'm not much of a retriever. I also like to carry it around and cuddle with it. I'm kinda planning on nibbling its ears off!
I love my new Pogo Plush Bunny!













The lady from Premier Pet Products said she'll send a Pogo Plush to one of you readers, too! Can you believe it?

#1 dog site for dogs & bipeds!

Sammy-Joe Hosts The VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!

Hi, everyone! Yesterday a box came in the mail. And there was something in it for me! Mama told me that the nice lady from Premier Pet Products sent me a FunKitty Doorway Dangli!

A Doorway Dangli is a special cat toy that hangs from the doorway. There are several things I like about it.

First, it dangles! If you are a cat, you know what I mean. All the cats in the house, raise your paw if you like stuff that dangles! That alone is enough for me!

Then... it has a long, furry strip coming out of it! The furry strip looks like a feather. Do you love to bat at long, furry feathers that are hanging out of dangly things? Me too!

And finally... this is the best part... It has a compartment inside where your Mama can put cool things, like treats, and catnip! When you whack the dangly thing around, the cool things fall out!!!!!!!

Mama said she knew right away that I was going to love this. But there is one problem. I like to be in my secret fort, and I like to be in the room where my secret fort is located... but I get a little nervous about the rest of the house these days. Because I've been having trouble getting along with my doggie sisters, if i want to go somewhere else in the house, I tend to just dash through the house to get to a room I want to get to. So Mama thought, if she hung it in the doorway of my room, I wouldn't get close enough to play with it. She was also afraid that the doggies would get the treats out of it. BAD DOGGIES!

So, Mama solved the problem by hanging the Doorway Dangli from a pipe above my fort. (But first she put some catnip into it for me!)

Right away, I started batting it around and playing with it!

Mama got really happy! See, these days I don't play much. I am getting on the older side, and the doggies make me nervous, so I tend to just walk around and observe the world. But when Mama hung up the Doorway Dangli, I was playing just like a kitten!

Mama took all sorts of pictures. But because it is so dark in my secret fort, the pictures didn't show up, even when Mama tried to photo-edit them. So she went back and took this one. By then, I was all tuckered out and happy from the catnip, so I was just laying there gazing at my Doorway Dangli!


Here's one thats a little bit better..,
















Since the pictures didn't work out so well, Mama said I should show you this video from the Premier website, of a cat playing with a Doorway Dangli. This is just how I was playing! (In fact, that first cat looks a lot like me, doesn't he?)


Some more great things about the Doorway Dangli is that it is adjustable. You can make it hang higher or lower, depending on what your kitty likes. Some kitties like to jump, right?

Also, it has a breakaway system, in case your kitty somehow gets caught on the toy. But, according to the package, you still shouldn't leave pets or kids unsupervised around it, since its a cord dangling from the ceiling. The breakaway system makes it pretty safe, but still, just in case, Mama says she's going to take it down when she's not home.

Now... here is the best part! The nice lady from Premier Pet Products said she'd give an extra FunKitty Doorway Dangli to one of you! (Don't worry, dogs... there are plenty of giveaways coming up for you!)

Kitties, you know the routine. To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment on this post. On Friday, January 21, at 5:00 pm Central, our Mama will use the Random Name Picker to choose someone!

You can also earn extra entries. You don't have to submit a separate comment for every single thing. You can, but if you want, just leave one comment listing all the things you did. We will make sure you get the right number of entries.

Here's what you can do.

1. "Like" Premier Pet Products on Facebook.
2. Follow Premier Pet Products on Twitter.
3. Make a blog and/or Twitter post of your own, telling them about this giveaway.
4. Follow this blog with Google Friends.
5. Follow us on Twitter.
6. Become my friend on Catster!

That means you have eight chances to win this toy. Kitties, get busy! Meanwhile, I will be in my fort, playing with my new toy!

Lily Plays Tricks On Mama

Hi everyone! Its me, little Lily! I was going to show you some of my baby pictures today. But I decided to wait until after the Babyface Parade on Pet Blogs United... I don't want to give mine away! I bet you can't wait! My puppy pictures are SO CUTE!

Anyway, today, instead, I wanted to talk to you about my favorite toy... balls!

I love to chase balls. The kind I love best are called Kong Airdog Squeaker Balls. They come in different sizes, but my size, of course, is small! I can fit them in my tiny mouth perfectly! Grampa usually finds them for me at Target... you can see them here. (No, this isn't one of those sponsored posts we were telling you about! Its just that this is the only place we can find the exact ones I love!) They are just like little tennis balls, but they squeak!

Can you guess what is the first thing I do when Mama gives me a brand new squeaker ball? I chew on it until I get the squeaker out! After I kill the squeaks, it still makes a nice popping sound.

My favorite ball is the one that I nibbled all the fuzz off of. You can see me sleeping with it in the picture on this post! Do you see it? It is tucked under my chin! I love-love-love my little bald tennis ball. I play with it pretty much all day long. Mama is always having to rescue it from under dark, yucky places where it rolls.

Today I played a trick on Mama. I ran over to the La-z-Boy chairs in the living room and started crying like my ball was stuck under there! I cried and cried, until Mama got up and looked for my ball. She put her head on the floor and tried to peek under the chairs, and then she actually moved the chairs. She couldn't find the ball! She told me, "I can't find your ball, Lily. Where is it?"

Then I jumped up on the couch and showed her... my ball was hidden right there in the corner, under a blanket! ROFL! I am such a funny puppy!

There are bigger tennis balls outside in the yard. I like to play with those sometimes, too. They are heavier, but still fun. Mama took some pictures of me playing with a regular tennis ball yesterday. Want to see?

All this talking about playing with my ball makes me want to go play with my ball! Bye bye, friends!
