http://www.tankertoys.com Tanker the Rottweiler and his review of dog toys. Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:51:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Mom and Dad wrote a children's book about all the exciting adventures we had in Monterey, California. 4 out of 4 paws! http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/12/04/tankers-adventures-in-monterey/ First Impression: Well the people over at Planet Dog heard about my website and decided I should test some of their toys. Puppy 'o puppy am I glad they did! I saw this on their website about two months ago and I've been wanting to try it ever ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/11/29/planet-dog-orbee-tuff-soccer-ball/ First Impression: Well to be honest I don't really like car rides that much... Personally, I think it's because Dad drives too crazy but I wouldn't tell him that. I used to sit in the far back cargo area of the hatchback. But then Mom and Dad had ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/27/outward-hound-hammock-protector/ First Impression: Well luckily I haven't had to use this kit yet. A few months back I was playing with a group of puppies in the woods. After we got back to the car dad noticed that I had a big tear in my carpal pad. Boy ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/27/medi-pet-first-aid-for-pets/ First Impression: Apparently these are the vests that the Military working dogs in Iraq and Afghanistan use. I'm not sure about the one size fits all large dogs mentality of this... It fits well enough but Dad it thinking about taking it to a seamstress for a couple alterations. ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/26/chillydog-dog-cooling-vest/ First Impression: Mom and Dad used to take me to PetSmart to get groomed. But then they found out about Best Pet in Pacific Grove, CA. Now we go there every 3 weeks like clockwork. We get their "Dirty Dog" brand shampoo and their special conditioner. ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/26/best-pet-showers-for-dogs/ First Impression: Well my leash skills are so darn good Dad decided to just hook me to his belt and not worry about me. He purchased the "extra buddy" which does not come with their belt and saves about $7. It's really no different and will slide right ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/26/the-buddy-system-the-extra-buddy/ First Impression: Well this toy is very durable and challenging. It has 4 little "fingers" that block the treat opening. So treats don't fall out as easily as they do from Kongs. Problem for me is I've got a HUGE tongue, so even the large has too ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/26/177/ First Impression: I have had nothing but bad experiences with nail cutters. As far as I am concerned the only way a puppy's nails should be trimmed is with a Dremel. If your Mom/Dad buys one of these for you, just let them turn it on so you ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/26/dremel-with-12-drum-sander-attachment/ First Impression: Well awhile ago the kind folks over at Orbee sent me a large package of toys to test. I reviewed most of them then, but Dad kept a couple back to review later. This glowing orb was one of them. I love all my Orbee ... http://www.tankertoys.com/archives/2007/07/26/planet-dog-orbee-tuff-glow-for-good-ball/
