What Does Santa Need to Bring???

[chefmeg]

My almost 11 yo DS is presenting a real challenge as far as gift giving this year! I have laready purchased an age appropriate MP3 player, the Rubik's Revolution, Madden '08 for his Nintendo DS, and a few small things. No 'biggie' gift yet!
Does anyone have suggestions???? I am looking for just one or two more things for under the tree!

Can I come to your house???

Hmmmm, socks and underwear?



(on every 11 yr olds wish list, aren't they?)

She said "biggie gift"...I doubt he is a XXL at age 11...

 

[chefmeg]

ya'll are too funny!

My mom is the one that really needs one more gift for DS! I am at a loss for suggestions since I feel like I already got him enough!

 

[janetupnorth]

Hmm...does he like any sports?

There are some neat Nerf sets out this year...Nerf N-Strike Disk Shot - Hasbro - Hasbro - Toys "R" UsAlso a dart tag one...

How about a simple stereo he can plug his MP3 player into? I've seen several in almost any price range.

I have seen those but fear then his sister becomes the target OR the dogs eat the Nerfs! Our Jack Russell eats anything that won't eat him first and try until you are blue in the face, you are not getting whatever he has a ahold of!

hmmmm...do you mean like a docking kind of thing??? I am So limited in my knowledge of this stuff!

If he has something in his mouth, grab him over the snout and right in the middle you will feel a gap behind two teeth - put gentle pressure there - doesn't hurt the dog, just annoy the heck out of him and he will release the grip on whatever he has. (...just for future reference - try it!)

I'll try, but he is relentless. It really is part of the breed to hang onto their "prey" but I ahve often wondered how the hunters get out of the mouth what the JR has a ahold of...maybe your suggestion is how!
This is the same critter I was asked to "stay after class" with in doggy obedience school! We wound up having to have private lessons because he took forever to realize that I am the pack leader! His behavior has greatly improved since then, but when he gets ahold of anything, it is drama~time!

Last year we purchased a gaming chair for our oldest DS. It is was about $40 or $50 at target. They plug the controls for their gaming system into it and the noise comes out of it and vibrates when things move on the screen. My DS loves it.

The docking stations for the MP3 player is also a really great idea too.

I don't have dogs, but I've heard that if you blow a quick, hard breath into their snout (from a foot or so away, not like CPR), they'll let go.
