---"I want to add my praise for WiggleLegs Frog toy. My cat
loves to play with

 No other toy will do. When I ask her to find
WiggleLegs she goes right to it! I just ordered 3 more as I'm afraid
you will stop making them and then I don't know what we will do!"

service with an excellent product. Thanks for the extra - it was a hit!
My cats are totally addicted to the
WiggleLegs Frog, so please keep plenty in stock!"
 ---"I
just wanted to let you know that my cat, Molly, is absolutely addicted
to your
FlyToys.
I literally have to hide them from her so she will go to sleep at night,
but as soon as morning arrives she is sitting right in front of their
hiding place waiting for them to come out and play."

Dining Out Al Fresco With Dogs
With a little planning this can become
one of your most enjoyable activities
MetPet.com Staff Writer
 If
you enjoy the cafe life, why not share some of it with your dog? It's
nice to find a few cafes and coffee houses that have outdoor seating in nice
weather and that welcome the well-behaved pooch as a customer.
We think in terms of the well-behaved dog because cafes have notoriously
flimsy outdoor seating with tables that are likely to tip over when the
pooch decides to place his front feet on them. In fact, this is one
place where the senior, slightly sleepy dog is most welcome and the
rambunctious puppy, while really adorable, is likely to make your experience
hectic rather than relaxing.
Finding the right place
Whether it's the large chain coffee house or the local bistro, it's
always best to call ahead and see if they enjoy having dogs on their patio
or sidewalk. Even better is to find a place that caters to dogs by
offering up biscuits or a dog watering bowl.
Ideally you can find a place with plenty of shade since dogs don't
dissipate heat very well. Otherwise, you should feel the concrete with
your hand. If it's too hot to the touch, it's too hot for him.

Preparing ahead
In order to have the best possible experience, it's best to make sure
that:
- Rover has been fed, watered and walked as thoroughly as possible.
There's nothing like having a hungry, thirsty and anxious dog eyeing your
club sandwich with mournful eyes.
- Rover is well groomed and has a secure collar and leash.

Enjoying yourself
Before you go in for the whole meal, you can try going in for just a cup
of coffee, in a covered to-go cup, or a soda in a can. If you can sit
quietly for a half an hour or more, then you might consider having a nice
lunch on a cool, dry day.
It's best if you can avoid feeding your dog during the meal. He can
always have a treat for good behavior after the meal and, it's not as if
he's hungry anyway. Feeding him during your meal will trigger all
sorts of unwelcome behavior including whining, sitting up, drooling and even
fighting with passing dogs.
If everything goes well and you don't end up with food in your lap or the
bistro table heading down the street pulled by Rover and his leash, you
might invite a friend and a dog to share a meal. It's a welcome change
of pace from a shared walk or a date for the dog park.
