PETSMART commercial with dog and his toy

[rhanditresmom]

That is my most favorite commercial EVER! I love that little dude.

 

[MosMom]

I love that commercial too. The other one is for a flea medication and has a puppy at "camp" singing a little song. So so cute.

Okay, get ready to call me a nutcase. That commercial makes me want to cry..

Wait wait wait.. let me explain.

My baby boy Reilly (apricot poodle in my signature) LOVES his "babies". He has since he was a puppy. When he was just a pup he had a favorite baby like the dog and BoBo, only his was "Night Night" baby. Yes, the dog can identify the babies by the names we give them. He's not a dog, he's a furry person.. I'm just sayin'

Anyway, this baby went everywhere with him. Outside to go peepee's, inside to torture sisters, and finally at the end of the day, he took it to bed with him (hence the name Night Night baby)

That thing (it's actually a plush Booda Kangaroo) is beat all to heck, the arms are dangling off, it's nappy, stinky and half bald. But he loves it. If it springs a hole, I have to sew it for him. And all the time I am sewing it, he sits nearby and cries until he gets it back. I think its on it's fourth or fifth squeaker.

Reilly is 6 now and he has decided that Night Night baby doesn't need to follow him around all the time anymore since he has 30000 babies (spoiled, I know) BUT, he insists that Night Night baby stay on our bed in a place of honor and his sisters are NOT allowed to touch it.

I get all choked up at the commercial because it makes me think of how that little Apricot puppy would cry his eyes out when I would be sewing Night Night baby back up or when the squeaker would die and I'd have to perform a "squeaker-ectomy". If I had ever thrown that thing away on him when he was asleep he would have been upset beyond words and in turn, I would feel like the most guilty doggie mama in history. So, I'll tolerate the nappy, stinky, half bald, arms hanging off Night Night baby taking up 4 inches on my bed because for some reason, that dog loves it so much.

And we own 2 Doxies a boy and a girl. We actually went out to Petsmart and BOUGHT ONE for Mickey, our little boy Doxie......well, in about 10 min it was torn completely UP, and we had to throw it away...stupid dog.

Same thing here...after I saw the commercial I bought Bailey one and within a couple of days the squeaker was out and she was gutting the thing. She drug the half-empty 'shell' around for a long time and then one day decided to finish it off. Crazy dog.

I do love that commercial and rewind it everytime it comes on!

We used to have a big, strong, macho German Shepherd -- you know, the kind of dog that inspires fear in all who see him. He was a gentle, loving soul, not the least aggressive, he was just big. Anyway, he used to have a white puffy teddy bear that he carried with him everywhere. Of course, it was white for about 5 minutes after coming out of the wash, because it would get grungy rather quickly. He also knew all his toys by name and would know where he had left them. He was the smartest, best dog ever. He died 15 years ago and I still miss him. We buried the teddy bear, his favorite ball, blanket and bone with him.

Our current dog is a terrier mix (street rescue) that we've had for 13 years, and to my disappointment she's never liked toys . I used to buy her toy after toy hoping she'd like something -- plush, rubber, nylabones, anything -- and she'd just nose them around for a bit and never look at them again. She's spoiled rotten and we love her to pieces, but every time I see that commercial I wish she'd like toys!

I like that commercial too. It really makes me smile, but I just can't figure out why... it seems to remind me of someone in my life, but I can't think of who it is...

Awww.. he knew his babies by name too? He sounds like he was a sweetheart. Maybe he was reincarnated into my Reilly - the little dog that thinks he is a big macho dog. The sound so much alike personality wise

ITA. That commercial definitely has the "awwwww" factor all over it!

I'd love to have a doxie but I have two bigger dogs & I'm afraid a little doxie would get run over in all the excitement.

That is the sweetest thing! And yes dogs know which toys they like best. I get bogart some toys that he doesn't ever play with. And then he has "loofa dog" (like the one in the commercial) and this crazy toy called "big mean kitty" and he almost always has.

 

[Aimeedyan]

I need to buy one for my boys; I know they sell them there. The commercial is adorable!

Lauri - Winston cries anytime I have to take away a toy to fix it. He is so attached and it tears me apart to have him cry and cry!!!

 

[dixipixi]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one with a Destructive Doxie!!! My little Tink will destroy any toy you give her within the hour!!! She's a mean little thing (but absolutely devoted to me ).

I've had the priveledge of having 3 doxies. Barney and Peppi have both left me now and the commercial reminds me more of them than Tink. For months after Peppi died, I found where she had "hidden" and buried toys. She loved her little toys and was very selfish about sharing them. OK, I'm going to start crying now.....

 

[scoutsmom99]

I love that commercial as well!! Scouty has these big ducks that he carries around the house and tries to birng outside all the time.

I am not a dog person but this commercial makes me smile very time I see it. The dog is a dachsand (sp?) and the commercial shows him carrying around his ratty toy. "Mom" throws it out and they go to Petsmart to buy a new one. My favorite part is when the clerk lifts the dog up and scans the toy while the dog still has it in his mouth.

I actually like all their commercials and it is where I shop for my cats and birds.

I know!! We just saw it, and the dog looks just like our Dog!! Nugget

Ashjohnson and Aimeedyan- I'm glad I'm not the only one totally guilted out by doggie "baby" love. If they had done that commerical on Reilly after me throwing away night night baby, he wouldn't have been walking happily along beside me. I would have been dragging his moping sad rear end across the tile floor and he would have given me a "HUFFF" when I offered the "less than adequate" replacement.

Do any of you have dogs that are TV watchers? Hailey wakes up for the commercials. She goes nutso at dog commercials. The dog is one big spaz. She barks at the dogs in commercials with her "your so sexy, I love you" voice that normally is only reserved for Briards at the Pet Expo. The dog gets the warm fuzzies for Briards - I dunno. Unfortunately she has brached out. Now not only are dogs bark worthy - so are Llamas, horses and certain cow"like" animals.

 

[Virgo10]

That is one cute commercial. A keeper for sure.

 

[DisneyDotty]

MeanLaureen--Your story is the best!

And I agree with those who posted that their Doxies destroy every toy they get. While I love the PetSmart commercial, it is so unrealistic. Our doxie Fritzie chews up every toy we give her--nothing lasts longer than a couple hours. And what she doesn't chew up she gets stuck under our couch, which she proceeds to chew up in order to get to her toy.
The things we put up with!

Still, I'm very tempted to take my dogs to PetSmart right now. What an effective advertising ploy!

MeanLaureen- Bogart loves to watch t.v. I've never seen a dog watch t.v. like he does. He will sit in front of it for hours and watch it. And if something comes on that he doesn't like, such as violence, and other animals, he goes crazy and jumps up on the t.v. and usually ends up turning it off. It's very funny. Althought I had a really hard time watching Narnia because of him.

 

[Poohbear123]

Will be under the covers, with daddy, and he will be watching TV, and a Dog barking on TV will wake them up, and they have to bark too. It just happened about an hour ago, and DH had to turn the channel to get them to stop!
