What's with the lamb chop dog toy, and litterbox tips for your kitty
Plus Bark! on a holiday gift list
I've got a few things to share with you today.
I am delighted to see that my new book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog is featured on The Tyee's list in Everyone on your holiday list will love these BC books.
I spoke to The Atlantic about dogs and their toys for this article about why dogs are obsessed with their lamb chop toy.
From the piece,
"Ask any random dog owner and there’s a good chance they’ll tell you: Lamb Chop is their dog’s favorite toy. They’ll say it with the confidence of having heard it directly from the dog itself. After witnessing my sister’s dog’s dedication to the toy, I spoke with more than 10 dog owners, all of whom were quick to send me pictures, videos, and anecdotes about their own dogs’ seemingly inexplicable Lamby love."
Does your dog love the lamb chop toy? What is your dog's favourite toy? Let me know!
Just so you know, this piece is for subscribers to The Atlantic only.
I also spoke to Cat Chat to share 3 tips for your cat's litterbox. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
We talked about the checklist for a happy cat from my book Purr: The Science of Making Your Cat Happy, and how the three items on that list related to the litterbox are location, size, and cleanliness.
Getting these things right will make your kitty feel much better about their litter box.
And the fun thing is, that's a mention of each of my books, Bark!, Wag, and Purr, in different pieces all in a couple of days.
My books are available from all good bookstores and you can also find links to buy here.
