Who says Thanksgiving is just for giving thanks to your friends and family? If you’ve got a dog, he or she has likely gotten you through some tough times, snuggled up to you on a daily basis, and even made you laugh. So, this Thanksgiving, we’re dishing up a few simple and meaningful ways to show your favorite pooch just how much you care.
1. Get a Petcube: Miss your pup when you’re on the move? Stay in touch with this cool gadget. It’s a cube that lets you play with your pet via a laser pointer that is controlled by your phone. You can play from anywhere! You can take photos and video directly from the app, and even talk to your dog. So cool!
2. Build a Really Awesome Dog House: This is definitely a weekend project, and you probably need a pretty well-trained pup to make sure it stays in one piece. We love that this looks like a pop-up food cart.
3. Create a Custom Collar: Next time you decide to make a statement necklace or headband for yourself, why not consider making a bit of bling for your pup? This rainbow paracord collar is colorful, sturdy, and you know what else? Fetching ;)
