A tip for the week! :-) Want A Pup To Squeeze? Consider One Of These! Winter holidays and celebrations are coming up—time to check those gift lists! While it may be tempting to surprise a child with a pet as a “present,” that is often an overwhelming responsibility, and inappropriate for children under 15. If you want your toddler or young child to learn how to treat a pet gently and humanely, here’s an excellent product that can help you do just that: an interactive plush pet! (lighterside/product/interactive+plush+dog.do?sortby=newArrivals&from=Search ). Your child can learn the difference between using their hands to be kind and gentle, and how tugging or hitting actually hurts the dog. The product description explains, “Gently press or tug the pressure points and your pet will react just like a real animal! Scratch the dog’s belly and he sighs contentedly... stroke the cat’s fur to hear her purr. Touch their face to their food bowl and they make eating sounds. But if you squeeze too hard on their paws or tug too hard on their tails, the sounds they make tell you they aren’t happy!” If youre feeling especially industrious, there’s even a “Knit Your Own Dog” with breed-specific details and 24 different patterns—check it out! --> whatonearthcatalog/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?action=DETAIL&ITEM=VN1322
