Ideal Bite

I moved to Seattle from Breckenridge, CO, and while I for sure miss the expanse of hiking trails just outside my back door, I know my Labradors, Marley and Cooper, miss it even more. So with thoughts of my happy pups frolicking in the woods, one of the many press releases that ping into my inbox caught my eye recently: 

"Fetchstix - Mother Nature's Dog Toy: The Vermont-made toys will be especially well received by urban dogs, who can have a hard time finding real sticks to play with. Owners will love the ease of operation as well as the simple to follow instructions and the availability of a technical support line (really!)."

Intrigued, I delved in for more info, only to discover...it's a stick. A wooden stick. That you pay money for. And that is all. Eco-friendly? Sure. Worth $13 for a set of three? Um, I'll leave that up to you. Even with the novelty factor, Marley (pictured here, with her own gen-u-ine urban stick she foraged all by herself) prefers a smaller pricetag: free. Though, she wouldn't mind having her name burned into her sticks - an available option for Fetchstix - to tell hers and Cooper's apart. Because, you know, dogs can read and all.
