Christmas is right around the corner so it's time to decide - has your dog been a good or bad boy? This holiday season don't forget your best four-legged friend. Pick him or her up a little something to unwrap on Christmas morning. There are so many neat toys and treat to choose from this season. To get you started, here's a quick list of the latest and greatest in holiday toys, treats and fun!

• Reindeer Loofa Dog Toy - The new holiday version of the popular Loofa Dog Toy. Loofa Dog is one of George's favorite toys and I can't wait to get him the Reindeer.
  
  
• Beds by Bella Creature Comforts - These 100% eco-friendly beds are incredibly comfortable for your pets and are just plain cool. I had the chance to check these out at Super Zoo. Very cool beds.
  
  
• Jog A Dog Treadmill - For the dog that has everything. Your dog can get in shape - even in bad weather - with this "doggie scale" electronic treadmill. It's not cheap, but boy is it sweet!
  
  
• Dog Lovers Wine Club - This is one of my favorite winemakers. Excellent wines and a portion of the proceeds help animal welfare organizations (even GoodDogz.org!).
  
  
• Blueberry Facial - What dog wouldn't love a blueberry facial? This all natural 3-in-1 (face wash, shampoo and brightener) blueberry scented cleanser is great for both dogs and cats!
  
  
• Good Dog Treats - Sojos.com has a wonderful line of  organic dog treats in creative flavors. These little treats are a hit for training or just to say "good dog".
  
  
• A Dog's Life Treats - These natural treats are loved by all dogs, but the really neat bonus is that you can customize the bag with your dog's photo. Very neat company and awesome treats.
  
  
• Vibrating Pet Massage Glove - I got to check these out at Super Zoo as well. It's a cool little gadget that soothes pet's pain and anxiety.
  
  
• Hemp Collars, Leashes and Toys - Earthdog.com has a very cool, eco-friendly line of hemp products. Stylish and "green"!
  
  
• Orbee Lil' Bulb with Treat Spot - Planet Dog's tough Orbee line gets into the holiday spirit! Holiday light bulb chew toys include a spot for your pup's favorite treat.
