Juddabug Whippets Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We had a parcel collection note left at the house yesterday! Tomorrow is the earlier I can go and collect it! Can't wait! Wonder if the raccoon tails made it through!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TashaBailey Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 My goodies arrived today - very pleased with the silver mesh sides, the Cool mat - one of the pups has already commandeered that, water buckets ( about half the price that I pay for them here) , the slip leads, Rainsuit, food bowls and the pups love the the skinnees. They do not think much of the Isqueaks although will give them a few days to see how they go with them. TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakbelgian Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Goldengirl85, did you order agility jumps? That would explain the size of the box. As I had a box that size for bar jumps then it was filled with bubble wrap plus my dvd, car magnets, book,two toys & a cool coat. How many people are still waiting for their boxes? I wonder if this company wilol have a mid year sale? or a End of financial year sale? Just so we could spend more money. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well I finally got home and gave the dogs their toys... they each had a toy but of course they ended up wanting each others toys. The one toy that was a huge hit is the medium iSqueak... I've never seen Ari so obsessed with a toy before! She doesn't even squeak it, she just wanders around the house holding it (she has the softest mouth!). The other toy that was a hit was the Pogo Plush Frizzle, it seems quite tough although why they insist on putting a label on the seam of dog toys I can't quite understand - the dogs go for it Every time!!! I expected the travel bed to be a bit thicker, but it's still a suitable travel bed - i'll probably use it for shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 ST - I had one of those large pogo plush things and yes I don't get the tags either... my dogs generally start munching on the tag then continue along the toy - the poor Pogo was removed from it's furry cover surprisingly quickly! Now it is two different dog toys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Bugger AP I was really hoping it was going to survive - James is a terrible destructo monster when it comes to soft toys and killing the squeakers within!! Still the only get the toys when I'm home and they are taken away when they start to get carried away!! my poor dogs are so deprived!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 we need a "best buys" thread. So far my favs are: i) the weave polls (less than $50 for a dozen, bargain). Add some small cups and some PVC pipes and you have a set of jumps too. ii) the mutt mat for about $18 is a good buy too. I wanted something that I could just leve in the metal crates when I collapse them to go to training. It isn't very tick but is a good quality and is thin enough to stay in the crate when I collapse it. iii) The empty nester toys at less than $5 a pop are good value and stuffing free. I wish I'd bought the sports travel crate now that I've hurt my back - lugging around a metal crate is hard work. Even most of the soft crates are heavy. I'm waiting on my last order. I with I had bought more toys, but the dogs have a whole box full of existing stuff. I'm really hoping the shoes I bought fit nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuffles Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Favourites around here are definitely the songbird and the doggles. The 'Ralphie' tug is also a bit of a hit. And the British style slip lead is so pretty and soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Love my slip leads! They are so pretty! I'll have to get photos of the dogs modelling them when I think of it. And my lock laces! I bought a stuffing free duck with 2 squeakers but one squeaker stopped squeaking almost immediately (still inside the toy though!) and it gets all slobbery too quickly, but the dogs really do love the fluffy toys to play with! The fact they can't de-fluff it is a bonus! Kong Tugga Wubbas are brilliant! Pippa the MS loooooves it!! And so cheap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Still waiting for order No.3 (well 4 if you count the cool coats I bouight while they were on free shipping before the BIG one. Used the popup tent with the travel bed for Kirra hanging out indoors at a dog show on Monday - and they HyperKewl coat - she seemed happy with that. Very convenient to carry. Rory is no real use as a tester, cos he just loves toys - any toys pretty much - does like his isqueaks. Agree about the Wubba friends - Kirra who's not such a toy dog, loves those - and she was playing madly with the flippy flopper cloth frisbee yesterday - I think there's another one in the box that's still to come. (Oh, and I have a gift vouicher still to spend - given by a friend :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Last night I had my "I must never, ever tug" BC girl tugging with me using the udder tug toy, so a big there. Puppy also thought it was great, but he would play with anything. They love the Isqueak balls. I bought a ball holder to put on my belt, from CR & the ISqueak go's in there. Tried it out on my walk this morning...they had great fun with their recalls everytime I would squeak "my horn", they would come running, sitting in front of me for a treat then off again, till I squeaked again. They didn't even get to play with the ball, just loved the sound. My shoes are great...hope you have as much luck with yours, Megan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I'm thrilled with everything I bought - the screw in the ground weave poles had a try out last night and Ziggy approved. Em had a go at 2x2 training with the stick in the ground poles (which will double as jumps) and she also approved of the treats that flowed out of them! For their soft travel crate I bought a dirt and water resistant "smart crate pad", a large crate crock and an all weather space blanket. The crate crock is brilliant - the large water bowl will live in my training bag whilst the attachment will remain in the soft crate. The bits and pieces to make up the jumps are fantastic as is the bag to hold it all in. I bought myself wet weather gear and socks - all great and very practical. Ziggy's humane slip lead is gorgeous and soft on the hands and Em's Kong Wobbler has given us a few giggles - much easier to load a larger amount of food into than other food toys.

SparkyTansy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 As said before, the iSqueak is probably the biggest hit amongst the weims... the fluffy toys are best for the setters. Lock laces well they are excellent - definitely worth it. the rug I bought for showing is fantastic,can't wait to try it out I love the british style slip lead and I am excited i could get it in Lulu's theme colour - pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Trixie is a bit 'Meh' about the udder tug She would rather tug with one of my socks Don't think she likes the feel of it. They both love the Kong Wobbler though - but I taped up the hole a bit so the treats didn't empty as quickly (small treats - I use the Natures Gift cat kibble which they LOVE) Wubba anything is always a hit in this house - they love the ballistic and the friend ones especially Kyzer LOVES his medium Kong squeezz ball - it's clear - still loves isqueaks slightly more though! http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3031&ParentCat=30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Oh I forgot about the lace locks - mine are still in their packet. Good to hear they work well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Rumour~ Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 All the toys have been a huge hit in our house but I have to say with the heat we've had Rumour is in love with her cool mat. Sh ethinks its the best present I've ever gotten her And I just got a msg from the OH saying the Wubbas that were left out of our order have arrived.

RubyStar Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I bought a ball holder to put on my belt, from CR & the ISqueak go's in there. I didn't think they'd fit otherwise these would have been VERY useful for me! If I walk to the park with the balls, I carry them in a poo bag which is quite awkward Lock laces well they are excellent - definitely worth it. the rug I bought for showing is fantastic,can't wait to try it out I love the british style slip lead and I am excited i could get it in Lulu's theme colour - pink Lock laces are brilliant aren't they!! Ruby got a slip lead in the colour "Ruby" Millie's unfortunately wasn't called "Millie", but "Parfait" Kyzer LOVES his medium Kong squeezz ball - it's clear - still loves isqueaks slightly more though! http://www.cleanrun....31&ParentCat=30 Oh I never saw these! Dammit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I tried Millie's thundershirt on her yesterday and she didn't seem to care it was on, yay Hope she can lay down in it though, think she tried to then decided against it Can't wait to try out the collapsible bowls attached to the crates!
