Here are just a few gift ideas we had for Christmas 2012. These are such great products that we use with our five dogs that I thought I would change the title from gift ideas to the DDR Products We Love – Group I. With the Deaf Dogs Rock Products We Love items you can now order these great products throughout the year. None of these companies know who I am and I don’t get paid to recommend any of these products. The following items listed below are just products I have run across and really enjoyed in my personal and professional life.
Happy Shopping! Christina Lee – Deaf Dogs Rock
Products We love Group I – Idea #1.
If you love to photograph your pets I can’t say enough about the Coolpix P510 Camera with a pop out screen. This camera lets me shoot photos at the dog’s eye level. It is a very easy camera to use and it does a great job in low light situations because the camera adds light to the photo after the photo has been taken. You can buy this camera for under $ 350.00
(Photo courtesy of DeafDogsRock.com – Camera shown in photo is the Nikon Coolpix P500 model from last year. The newest P500 line is the Coolpix P510 with 42x digital zoom).

I love the P.L.A.Y. (Pet Lifestyle And You Beds). For a design junkie like me, I like my dog beds to match the interiors inside my house and not for my dog beds to look like the rugged dog beds you would find outside in a dog house. P.L.A.Y. offers creative and beautifully designed dog beds for your dog. Check this bed out for example, the fabric color on this dog bed matches my accent color throughout my house. This fabric was created and designed exclusively for P.L.A.Y. by SF local artist Alicia Pompei.
The photo above is from the P.L.A.Y. Bamboo Lounge Bed series. This beautiful bed only runs $ 148.00 for a Medium sized dog. Click here to view this bed on the P.L.A.Y. website.

My dogs and horses all love, love, love the Tug-N-Toss Jolly Ball by Jolly Pets available at Petsmart. This ball comes in different sizes but for my two deaf dogs Nitro and Bud and my hearing German Shepherd Bailey we got them the 8″. I do not leave this ball out in the yard or they will try to eat the handle but I go outside with my dogs and throw the ball over and over for them. All three big dogs get tired pretty fast because the Jolly Ball is heavier then most of the tug and toss toys they play with on a regular basis.
The price of the 8″ ball runs $19.99 and can be purchased at Petsmart or Petco.

Chris and I purchased two of these Baxter Boo Nor’easter Dog Blanket Coats for Nitro and Bud and we liked them so much when they arrived we ordered two more for our little dogs Tallulah and Lexi. Baxter Boo by far offers some of the best sale prices on these coats. We paid between $24-$28 when we purchased them.
Each Nor’easter jacket features a reversible waterproof shell, a soft plaid fleece lining and a reflective stripe and paw print detailing. Neck and belly Velcro® closures for adjustable fit.

The Orvis Personalized Collar is great because you can get what you want embroidered on this collar. I ordered a collar for Nitro so when he goes to the Pet Expos he has a collar that has his name and our website address. His new collar says Nitro of DeafDogsRock.com
With this collar you can order it with your dog’s name up to 28 characters so you could do something for example Dakota-DEAF DOG-123-456-7890 which would get you within the 28 characters. When you order this collar you also get your choice of collar and thread colors.
Right now Orvis has Buy 2 Side Release Buckle Collars for only $ 29.00 (this includes FREE Personalization) Click here to get this offer from Orvis.
