Bo (woof) In Commentary:
Imagine, if you will, walking in the rain but instead of raindrops coming out of the sky it’s bacon flavored bubbles. Sound like a dream you’d twitch to? Well, purchase the Bubble Buddy and according to its maker, Happy Dog Toys, it may very well come true.
Recently I was in PetSmart, perusing the aisles with the old man in tow when the Bubble Buddy caught my eye. Once I read the packaging, I knew I had to get one for myself. It read…
* Blow ‘em! Chase ‘em! Chomp ‘em! * Get ready for bubble chompin’ fun! * Watch your dog jump for joy * Your dog will go bonkers over the bacon-scented bubbles * You and your dog will have a blast!
That was the promise but in practice does the Bubble Buddy meet these lofty goals?
Before I begin, keep in mind that Happy Dog recommends this product for ages eight to adult. So for any of you young Pomeranians reading this, the Bubble Buddy is not for you.

Fascinating concept had it worked. I love the picture of Bo’s friend Dino the Dachsund having the bacon-flavored bubble gizmo tried out on him. He is not enthused.

Heh Heh. Wonder how ol’ Bo would review the electronic shock collar I got for my pooch.
Well...at 103 it would probably kill me. The folks did get me one (with the invisible fence), way back in my youth, but they never had the heart to put it on me. I’ve trained them well. Plus, the ditsy kid that used to mow our lawn ran over the wire with the lawn mower. That was pretty much the end of that. Woof!
