Cool gifts for your dog are not always at the pet store

An ionic hair brush from The Sharperimage
We saw it at the White Flint Sharper Image. It claims to mend hair so it's silky smooth and soft. It also claims to deoderize a dog's hair. Sharper Image offers several different models: one for dogs, one for you and yours, and one with an ionic hairdryer as well. Well, we opted for the 'people' ionic brush; since the attachments are detachable, it's a simple matter to put them in the dishwasher between brushouts. That way, all of us can use it. Does it work? I like the way my hair feels. I don't know about the dog, but he doesn't mind it.  (Cost $30-45, depending on the model)

An attachable flashlight with a swivel head
Now this is cool: it's a small clip-on flashlight with a swivel head. I found it at Home Depot. We clip it on our dog's collar (he's confused at first by the beam that preceeds him on the ground) and he can see clearly in the dark night when we walk him. ($5)

Frosty Paws
We buy ours at Giant Foods
These dog treats provide liver flavored dog ice cream for your dog's sweet tooth. Our dog goes nuts for it. He will do any trick to get a Frosty Paw. I can always use the Frosty Paw bribe when he won't come in from the back yard. The mere mention of "Frosty Paw" brings a wide grin and lick of happy anticipation from him. So we now spell out "F P" when we make out our grocery list. (about $5 for 4)
