This story puts a whole new twist on taking a bite outta crime.  A deputy in Hope Mills, N.C. was answering a call from a woman who wanted to issue a complaint about the neighbor’s dog.

Once the deputy arrives things get a little strange, here are the details from the Associated Press.

In he Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department says a pit bull deflated all four tires of Deputy Lynn Lavallis’ cruiser near Hope Mills on Sunday. Spokeswoman Debbie Tanna says Lavallis parked his car in a woman’s driveway while responding to her complaint about another dog. When Lavallis went to speak with Gloria Bass, the dog chomped into the tires.

You’ll be happy to hear no charges were filed against the dog, but he may be in the dog house because his owner got a $500 bill for a set of new tires.

Another favorite rubbery chew toy for dogs is the well-known Kong. Did you ever wonder how the Kong came about? Well, it begins with a German Sheppard named Fritz, his owner and a Volkswagen Van.

Fritz, a police dog, enjoyed chewing rocks Read the rest of this entry »

Our dogs have a few Dogtronics toys and they do enjoy them. We sent Rowdy Raccoon to our doggie nephew A.J. and he carries it everywhere, even to bed. The light toys twinkle, flash, and blink. The sound toys hoot, howl, and quack. And, the motion toys bumble, tumble, and wiggle.

The FurBuster De-Shedding System reduces shedding with minimal effort and without busting your wallet! The stainless steel blade removes loose hair and undercoat, replaceable and interchangeable blades (3 sizes available) snap securely into a universal handle and the sleek, angled design helps reduce wrist strain.

Feeding Bowls - Bamboo’s feeding bowls bring style and function to your pet’s meals. The decorative, heavyweight, dishwasher safe bowl features a bone design for dogs and a fish design for cats, available in pink or blue. They are ideal for dry or wet food as well as water. The non-skid base keeps the bowl in place while the unique shape allows for easy pick-up.

Pigs in a Blanket - He’s all wrapped up and ready to go “hog-wild” with your doggy. This tough rubber treat dispenser is designed to contain your dog’s favorite snacks, while providing a most excellent chew toy experience. What’s more, the supreme scent of bacon is just too much to resist! Oink, Oink!

QuadBrush – Makes brushing your pet’s teeth fast, easy and safe! Uniquely designed toothbrush makes brushing safer, faster, more thorough and more comfortable. It features four bristle heads for a complete cleaning. Three bristle heads surround teeth to clean all tooth surface areas in one motion while a patented fourth head helps “prop” mouth open, softens the bite and cleans the opposing tooth. Comfort handle with grip reduces slipping during brushing. Includes brush cover to keep toothbrush clean between uses.

Flip-Flop Yankers – The Incredible Strapping Flip-Flop Yankers are mighty strong and fabulous fun for you and your dog. The heavy canvas toy is fortified with a nylon belt inside making this the ultimate tug’o war toy.

You can show your love to this very generous company by keeping them in mind if you’re in need of a toy for yourself or a gift. The stuff is great and made to last.

Now…back to the contest.  To get the New Year off to a fun start enter the contest by sharing one of your New Year’s resolutions or just something you plan on doing in 2009, anything at all.
