For Him

Hot on the heels of Choken-Bako, the wind-up dogs that ate your coins, comes Oshikko Inu, "DO NOT Pee In the House!

If you love animals, there's a particular source of original, clever,
and often hilarious novelties, greeting cards, home accessories,
and stylish t-shirts for adults, children and even infants that
definitely ranks up there with the best this pet writer has seen...

With Christmas commercialism in mind, it
shouldn't come as much of a surprise to you that pet lovers and even
their pets are "special" during the eight days of Hanukkah.  This year, the array of cat and dog menorahs abound, and I even found some cat and dog Hanukkah dreidels!  Here's a bunch of the ones I found engaging....

I like to buy funny pet wall calendars as Christmas gifts for my pet lover friends because, even if they receive other calendar gifts, there is always a space on the wall for one more -- especially if it's funny and about their species of pet. I found some really hilarious dog, cat, rabbit, ginea pig, ferret, and tea cup pig calendars for 2010; maybe you will find just the right ones for your friends (or yourself!) among them.

This delightfully disgusting roadkill cat toy promises loads of faux feline-fatale fun for the whole family - if you're the Addams Family.

Supposedly the hottest toy for Christmas will be the Zhu Zhu Pet
Hamsters. Get them now if you want them, or you'll end up in the dog house
like my family did the year we couldn't find a Cabbage Patch Doll for
the kids' Christmas.   Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters are cuter than the Cabbage
Patch Doll, but you're going to end up in the poor house if you buy them.

The Singing Dog Alarm Clock provides pet-lovers with the paws that refreshes... along with a nutty, mutty Melody Alarm that'll have you reaching for a Little Brown Jug.
