Love Yoda? The Star
Wars Plush Yoda Squeaky Dog Toy is adorable, especially for families that
love the Star Wars movie series. Really, it’s cute and sort of cuddly.
The 6” version retails for $8.99, but we picked it up a

your dogs? Don’t dogs love dashing through deep snow?
Sure, people shovel patios or small areas for little dogs. One
neighbor cleared a spot for her Schnauzer.
