Did anyone see its me or the dog... the bubble machine?


Did anyone see its me or the dog lastnight with the two understimulated labs. They used a bubble machine bacically it blew out bacon flavoured bubbles for them to jump about and catch. I wondered if anyone on here had heard of or knows where to get these bubble machines? I think cats & especially indoor cats would find it very stimulating to play with.

wasn't it great?
I'll have a look at Crufts and see if I can find a supplier.
I've got a battery powered one I found at Woolies, which is good, but not quite as high falutin' as that one. You hold it like a pistol.

Great pic DM. What day are you going to crufts? We we're going on Friday but have decided not to as we're going away Sat for a week in Cornwall, no cats, dogs or kids, wahoo! (last year was my first visit to crufts - but i was ill and tho i throughly enjoyed the day it completely drained me, and as i have a cold i don't want to risk it again with having to go to Cornwall ) Last year i bought two soft crates i was amazed at the things on sale and the amount of stalls its fab, mmm err maybe I should go.

Going Friday. Will meet Kazz there and others that she has lined up. Haven't been before. I can imagine I'll be exhausted - 2+1/2 hour trains journey each way, as well as walking 20 miles while I'm there. But I'm going to make sure Kazz doesn't overdo it - so that'll be a good excuse for me to take it a bit easy too

(I think I remember seeing that machine in WHSmith last summer and saying at the time that the dog would love it! Think my 'handheld' was £4 or £5
