My dog loves this toy!

Chuckit Flying Squirrel - Large

Chuckit Flying Squirrel - Large

Rating for this product: 5 April 3, 2007

I have a 100 black Labrador named Kolo. I am quite sure that he has a problem with fetching. He is none-stop! Everyday when I get home from work he grabs his flying squirrel and barks and barks until I throw it for him. Most of the time he can catch it in the air. It is so much better for his teeth to play with a soft toy. I have other Chuckit products but this is his most favorite!

Rating for this product: 5 April 3, 2007

When my dog is not playing with his flying squirrel, he loves this toy. It is great because I don't have to bend over to pick up his ball or get my hand all slimy. It also works for a great snowball launcher!

I got this jacket for my friends 2 year old little boy and he absolutely loved it. It is super warm and bomb proof. You know how kids' that age are with their clothes. We spent a weekend camping and I don't think he took it off once. He had the Duck Bib overalls to go with them, it was a perfect combo.

Rating for this product: 4 July 5, 2006

I just ran about 10 miles in this shirt in about 95F weather. Is does a great job keeping the moisture off your body. Compared to some of the other tech tees that I have, it was a little heavy. It’s probably better for cooler weather running.
