Our favorite dogs…

Now that Bo has happily arrived at the White House…here are some of favorite toy dogs just in case bringing home the real thing isn’t in the cards…

Biscuit was on our Platinum List last year and still keeps us company in the office.  He’s extremely sweet but still pretty pricey.

New for Spring, from the same Furreal line is a smaller and much more affordable Lil’ Patter Pup.  If  the Gabor sisters were going to have a  toy dog, this would be it…of course that dates me…so if you’re Paris Hilton…you get the idea. There is a Shih-Tsu and a Pomeranian…both bark and unlike Biscuit, they do walk!  At $29.99 they are  a good buy.

We also still love Lucky–who is bigger than Lil’ Patter Pup and does many of the same tricks as Biscuit. Lucky is from Zizzle.

And if a low tech pup will do the trick, we love the new Spot from Kids Preferred. This oversized delicious doll is $29.99.

And if you’re looking for a great book on dogs…I’m biased but I highly recommend my mom’s Have You Seen Dogs?

Top Pick of the Day: Kids Preferred Spot

27lGood news– Spot is back!  Toddlers will love the new oversized 16″ ($30)  friendly pup from Kid Preferred –just right for hugging and lugging about. Spot is not too heavy making him a fun companion.  Equally appealing is the 6″ bean bag version ($9.00)  (much squishier than the larger Spot).  A great take along choice.  Our recommendation is to bring Spot home with some books.  We’re giving both versions an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award.  Also notable from the Kids Preferred is their line of Eric Carle inspired plush.
