Enter to Win! Zogoflex Dog Toys from Good Things Green Things!

September 30, 2011 Filed Under: #DogKarma

Have you heard of Zogoflex?  It’s a dog toy material developed by WestPaw, and it’s changed my life.  Virtually indestructible, and recyclable at the end of their very long lifecycle (in longevity terms, these are the tortoise of dog toys), Zogoflex toys are tough enough for my strong chewers, and that’s saying something.  Stella is a master of destruction, and Argo loves to play, but they have yet to wear one of these toys out over years of use.

I have a review of the Zisc, WestPaw’s Zogoflex frisbee, over at TheGreenists.com today.  And I’m thrilled to tell you that Andi from Good Things Green Things has donated a great collection of toys to the #DogKarma Prize pack.  
The toys in the prize pack:
  • 1 Zisc 
  • 1 Tux
  • 1 Hurley 
  • 1 Huck
About Andi and Good Things Green Things:

“We are an eco friendly gift shop committed to bringing you the healthiest, most eco friendly products for your family, pets and home. 

My first pregnancy inspired me to green up my routine and I began searching for healthy products to use on myself and in my home. I struggled to find products in my area that met my standards, and wondered if others were having the same problem. So I decided to start Good Things Green Things to offer healthy products for everyone, conveniently located in one place. 

We have a great selection of products that have natural and organic ingredients, are biodegradable or compostable, certified fair trade, handmade, sustainable, recyclable or made from recycled materials. Being a Minnesotan, we also have a great selection of products from Minnesota including, skin care, non toxic cleaning products, and our own line of GMO free soy candles. *All of our products are free of parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, petroleum and sulfates.”

You can follow Andi on Facebook & Twitter, and sign up for the Good Things Green Things Newsletter!

This post is a part of the #DogKarma Prize Pack to encourage dog rescue!  But you don’t need to rescue a dog to enter!  If you’re not planning to adopt a rescue dog in the near future, you can still enter.  If you win, the Good Karma necklace is yours to keep, and we hope you’ll donate the dog goods to your local rescue to help them with their amazing efforts to help dogs find forever homes.

    Lily’s favorite toy is a grubby, glow-in-the-dark basketball that I found in a parking lot one day. We took it home and washed it, and Lily can’t get enough. She shoves it with her snout, chases it across the yard, and barks at it when it goes too fast. But we don’t let her play with it all the time; the ball lives on top of the fridge for special occasions.

    Rufus is a big fan of extra large plush toys – he loves when they’re so big, he constantly trips over them while he’s running. Right now, that happens to be a huge stuffed bunny.

    My cats love anything with catnip, especially if it’s shaped like a mouse!

    Lily’s favorite toy… has to be a toss-up between the Kong (the one where you paw at it and food comes out) and anything you can throw/play tug-of-war with. She’s a HUGE fan of ropes, especially if there’s something squishy, squeaky, or bitey in the middle.

    Emma’s favorite toy was a stuffed cow that my husband brought home to her. She carried it to bed (her crate in my bedroom) every night, slept with it, took it room to room. One day while we were gone to a medical appointment, she ripped it open. Came home to stuffing everywhere. We’ve looked all over, I’ve searched the ‘net, & we cannot find another of those stuffed cows.

    Buddy is a master chewer and no toy lasts too long for him~ the only thing that’s made it is the kong stuffed with PEANUT BUTTER! All other toys are reduced to bits, lol.

    I’d guess the favorite of both dogs has got to be their Kongs (though I don’t think of that as a “toy” so much as “10 minutes of quiet”) stuffed with kibble, oats and peanut butter, then frozen solid. Aside from that, Nylabones, tennis balls and those skineez – at least until they kill the squeakers!

    Nothing with stuffing!

    Jimmy is crazy about tennis balls. Kylie loves her stuffies but since Jimmy came we cant have any out since he swallows the stuffing. They both eat their meals out of Premier Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble or Tug-A-Jug.

We are in the habit of starting and ending our day We are in the habit of starting and ending our days side by side in our lawn chairs, while the light rises or dims. It’s still chilly at the outer edges of the day. Sometimes Roxy shivers. I bought her a sweater, but she won’t wear it. Sometimes I try to wrap her in my jacket, but she’s not having that either, so I throw her ball and try to get her run and then she comes back to her chair, warm for a little longer. #dailyroxydog #huskychihuahua #dogssittinginchairs

I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic ant I saw this little dresser at my favorite magic antique store sometime in November and didn’t buy it. But then, of course, I kept thinking about her. She’s the perfect size for my office, and I found those drawer pulls hilarious. When I finally went back in December, I told myself I was shopping for wall art, because I assumed she would be gone. But she was right where I’d seen her last: balanced on another dresser with boxes of old picture frames and tchotchkes piled on top (the true mark of a magic antique store). I didn’t even realize she had a towel rack — that she was a wash stand, not a dresser — until I asked about the price, said I’d take her, and my favorite magic antique store person asked if we needed to unscrew the towel rack to fit her in my car. I suspect this little sweetie is not from the days of necessary wash stands so much as from a country kitchen in the 80s. She was in rough shape, and not made from wood worth stripping and re-staining, but her price reflected that. I had to disassemble that door and put it back together, but I’d been in the market for some experience working with old furniture, and she made me feel brave about trying. I thought about painting her something more neutral, but I’m so glad I didn’t. She deserves to be pink. She’s not perfectly painted and needs a few touch ups. I learned some things about chalk paint and finishes. The drawers stick a bit. Eventually, I’d like to line them with fabric and when I do, I might plane the edges to smooth things out. But goodness, I love her in a way that I wouldn’t if I hadn’t spent time cleaning away her cobwebs and scrubbing the grime from her hilarious drawer pulls. She’s also become a little shrine for the book I’m working on, which makes me love her even more. I’ve always been a person who sees some soul in certain things, and I’m learning to cherish that idiosyncrasy, because there’s so much joy to be found in a brave little toaster or an underdog wash stand. We’re not here in the world for all that long. We may as well love some bright little things. #furnituremakeover

She nudges me over and we sit in our chairs, side by side, and watch the sun set. Well, I watch the sun set. She spies on the neighbors. #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #sundayevening
