It's Not Too Soon to Think About Next Christmas
If you're treating a pet to special attire for your Christmas Day pageant dinner, it's the perfect moment to snap photos for next year's holiday card so you don't start scrambling way before the season begins again.

North posed for this dress rehearsal before I picked the perfect spot with great lighting for our final shot. After all, the stage is already set with stockings up and presents partially unwrapped and a happily gifted pooch on hand, too.
3 Reasons to Let Dogs Eat Antlers This Christmas!
One of North's all-time favorite treats is an antler — he's had it for almost an entire year, and their love affair is still going strong!
One of North's all-time favorite treats is an antler — he's had it for almost an entire year, and their love affair is still going strong! By the look on this pup's face, my dog is not alone in his adoration.
There are three reasons that I love treating him to this special toy, no matter what season it is:
First off, the Antlerz he has were naturally shed. No deer or elk were harmed to create this plaything and it's so eco-tastic to boot! Secondly, while he gnaws on it daily, after my examination, he still made no progress after months and months of work (unlike a rawhide he can finish in a few days . . . or hours)! And, last but definitely not least is the smell. As in none! That's right, it doesn't stink much like other natural dog chews, there's no discernible odor and no staining on my rugs either. Looks like we're both happy!

North's Four-Paw Test: Puppy Tweets
My pooch was active on Twitter before we got the sample of Puppy Tweets to test out — what can I say he's a chatty fella!

North's Four-Paw Test: Dog Tornado
Nothing pleases my pooch more than a good ball or a plush creature to dismember, so I was a bit skeptical when we got the Dog Tornado to test.
Nothing pleases my pooch more than a good ball or a plush creature to dismember, so I was a bit skeptical when we got the Dog Tornado to test. Would North go for a product that is neither squeaky nor filled with stuffing . . . and requires a bit of brainpower? The survey was still out. See how he fared and get my take on this interactive toy by starting the slideshow now.

While North was treated to plenty of presents, PB bones, and even a party hat, my lil pooch didn't get a dog-safe cake for the big eight.
While North was treated to plenty of presents, PB bones, and even a party hat, my lil pooch didn't get a dog-safe cake for the big eight. So sad. But, after spotting so many cute pictures of doggies enjoying a sweet dessert, I'm full of ideas for next year.
