Charlie the Pug's gift ideas for dogs
Best games to play with a dog
Tug of war is one of the best games to play with your dog. My favorite dog toy is one that lets me play fetch and tug of war. It's hot in Houston so we look for inside games to play and like many interactive dog toys. Charlie and I are both in love with the Hyper Pet Tuggin' Tails tug toy series of dog toys Charlie's so excited that he wants to give one to each of his brothers and his little sister. The little Pug jumps up and down at the sight of them.
Why are Tuggin' Tails such cool dog toys?
Think plush; think tug; think rope toy. Now combine them all together, add a bungee cord rope and a tennis ball, and you have one terrific interactive dog toy. Charlie would also like me to remind you that these plush interactive dog toys are also gifts for dog owners.

Charlie can't wait to play with the "doggy tug"
Aside from the fact that the Tuggin' Tails dog toy series includes a Pug and Charlie is convinced he is the secret model for that specific toy, the toys have a lot of sheer dog appeal. They are designed in the shape of animals. Currently the ones available are a cow, horse, Lab, pig, a Westie and the Pug. Of course, he insists that we get at least one of each kind.
Unique bungee cord construction enhances interactive play"
Each toy features "a unique bungee cord construction winds through the tail securing the tennis ball. The dog holds onto the ball while the owner or other dog pulls the bungee cord and tries to get the ball. In addition to the bonding and mental stimulation, there are a number of other benefits.

Okay, it's inevitable that Charlie the Pug would put list the Pug tug toy in his paw print to Santa. He fancies it favors him. Besides, he doesn't want anyone else tearing the Pug up. This is the small but there are two other larger sizes available.

Charlie wants Teddy, the Shih Tsu and leader of the pack, to have the Lab tug toy. He thinks Teddy will appreciate it the most as it will remind him of his lost big brother Beau, the Prince among Labrador Retrievers who died several years ago. I thought that was a very nice gesture on the little Pug's part. But then I had to tell him no, we would not take a black Sharpie and draw cheetah paws all over the plush lab's coat. Teddy is not going to turn that plush tug toy in a cheetah design. Not.

Charlie seems to think the Westie plush dog toy is sweet and soft and perfect for little HoneyBunn. After all, she's only 3 1/2 pounds and a pristine white Westie is perfect for her. Small, of course.

Since Riley is the next biggest dog in the house as far as size goes, Charlie wants his favorite Cocker Spaniel to get the plush horse tug toy.
He also asked if we could write and ask them if they would remove the tennis ball and replace it with one of Riley's favorite river rocks but I told him no. It would be too expensive and, besides, they probably wouldn't do it. Charlie scrunched up his face gave me his bulldog look but it didn't do him any good. The horse with the tennis ball will be Riley's gift--as is.
And I'm going to get a timer so I clock Riley and see how fast he slits a seam and removes that squeaker.

That means Freddie the hyper flying disc throwing dog will have the purple poodle tug toy. Somehow I think Charlie's right and it totally suits little Freddie.
Guess who's getting this big tug toy?

Who but Waco would get the large cow tug toy? Charlie thinks his big brother and best friend will go nuts over the plush cow but I wonder how long the stuffing will survive? Charlie says not to worry. Sure.
