5.0 out of 5 stars Bouncing all over the place!, April 10 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My German Shepherd Husky mix loves to catch balls.
So I decided to take it to the next level and make it more interesting for us.

The erratic ball, you never know in which direction it will fly off to, which keep my dog very focused to follow through. Her dog pals at the park were all confused at first but they adapted and it was fun for all!

The Chuckit products are well worth the price and its about the only toy, she has yet been able to decapitate, so I'm very happy for the longevity.

5.0 out of 5 stars So simple and very effective!, April 10 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've always had dogs, but only got them when they were already housebroken.
Getting my new 10 week old puppy, I decided to arm myself with this book.

The things that are said are just so simple, you wonder why the heck didn't I think of it?
Routines, keeping a steady schedule, controlling water and food intake and mot of all, watch them like a hawk!

Well worth the price and it truly did take 7 to 10 days before my pup was housebroken. My friends and coworkers were amazed and wondered how I managed.

Highly recommend!

Healthy Natural Systems Thin Tab Raspberry Ketone, 3x 60 Count Bottle

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE, it is only for ONE bottle not three, April 10 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
First of all, I want to review the product description.

The item "Healthy Natural Systems Thin Tab Raspberry Ketone, 3x 60 Count Bottle" comes with only one bottle with 60 units. The "3x 60 Count Bottle" means that this item has triple the strength. So, "3x" means triple the strength and not 3 bottles.

I was mad becaue I feel this was NOT well written in the description. Would it be so hard to simply add "1 bottle with 60 capsule at triple srentgh"?

Had I known I would have thought twice before buying a product at that price for only 1 bottle.
I'll be trying it out and post an update if it worth it or not.
I felt it was important to warn others or the quantity before purchasing and having to return it.

After being on this product for a month, nothing has changed, heck I even gained weight! My appetite stayed the same, got a bit more nergy but that could simply be due to Spring and the sun being more present and even though I exercice 4 times a week(60 to 90 minutes per day), I gained 5 lbs and have not lost one bit. I was taking this product to help lose the remaining 10 lbs in about 2 months I wanted to get rid of (initially 135lbs), so this is a BIG FAIL!

Truly avoid this product, just didn't work, the price and misinterpretation is a real joke.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sizing is way off, April 9 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have a 9 month old German Shepherd and Siberian Husky mix. I already had an car dog harness from Kurgo, but since the strap in the seatbelt wasn't really helping, I needed a simple pluging directly in the seat car.

I had read about the sizing problem but I only needed the plug so made nothing of it. .This was the product that was what I looked for at a great price. The harness in my case was a bonus and if it fit, would be an extra.

Well my dog is 55 lbs and it was too small for her either way.
Going to simply sell it back on kijiji since its pointless to keep it.
At lest the plugin belt does its job perfectly!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, but quality of the item is poor, April 9 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I enjoyed the book, as good as any other BUT my main problem with it was this was the 3rd book I ordered from the Vampire Hunter D series which had obvious wear on the book. Heck 2 out of the 3 had a clearly straight black marker on the pages, as if it was calculated.

When I buy a NEW book, I expect it to be flawless, may have dust, but not corners turned and the front scratched and black marker marks on the pages. REALLY DISAPPOINTED!

3.0 out of 5 stars The concept is good, however material is poor, April 2 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have a 9 months old German shepherd x Husky.
Although she can be tough with her toys most of them last a long time despite her throwing them around the house and up in the air.

Since she adored the Hide A Squirl so much, I got this one for variety. My dog actually had trouble (myself included) getting the rings out of the bone, pretty annoying when you understand the concept but have a hard time doing anythign with it. On top of that, with only a few throws the material, where stitching was, well it didn't hold and the bone plush opened.

I'll stick with the Hide a Squirrel any day for tougher products than somethind that is less durable than a plush toy at the Dollar Store...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Chinchillas! But a few quirks here and there..., Mar 22 2013
Before Amazon offered this, I actually had to import it from the USA for 230$.
Even at that price it was well worth it.

My chinchilla jumps everywhere and simply adores it. Strangely enough even my cats love to jump inside the cage when I leave one of the doors opened.

The PROS
- 2 large opening doors, one for the bottom section and one for the higher section
- The ramps are solid planks and not just wires/grill.
- The price. honestly I have seen these being sold 400$ + in typical brand name pet stores...
- Easy to assemble, took about 45 minutes for my dad (since I'm not good at assembling things!)
- Removable tray makes for easi cleaning without removing the pet from the cage
- Lots and lots of space! I only have one chinchilla living in it, but he has a ton of space, heck my two cats can go in with him and therE's still soem space to move around.
- Has wheels, easy to move around the apartement when needed or cleaning

The CONS
- Middle section is wires
- The ramps sometimes unlock themselves from their position and fall, it can be annoying unless you have a rodent that is pretty good at jumping without using them
- Depending on the type of rodent you want in it, you might not like the big doors. I have no trouble with my pets (dog, cats, rat and chinchilla coexisting, so even if my chinchilla gets out his life isn't in danger) however people might not appreciate the "escape" possibility if the animal isn't that tamed.
- After 1 month, one of large doors hinges gave out, which made the entire door come down on the floor. My dad managed to fix it with something else, but still its annoying paying a certain price (even if it was a good one) to have cheap hinges for soemthing very important.
- Removable tray is fun, but the support system of when you are trying to get it out or in can be a pain and everything falls down to the floor... Once you know it, you get to know how to do it properly to not make any messes.
- The wheels are not blockable, so be sure nothing sudden decides to jump and tumble the cage.
- Deeper tray would have been nice, because my chinchilla tends to dig the bottom becasue he dropped some food from the 2nd floor to the bottom. I have to broom the floor everyday so my dog won't eat the litter.

On a personal note, my chinchilla is a male and when he pees, the idiot doesn't always do it in the bottom...This has happened to a friend that also has the 2 floors high cage. Previously my was in a 1 level only, never had any trouble with getting pee against my wall.

In any case, I still love the cage, although it has its ups and downs. I prefer metal over plastic in any case.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and reminded me why I loved BSG, Feb 18 2013
I highly enjoyed the series of Battlestar Galactica (mostly Season 1 and 2 plus the Razor movie)
I never watched Caprica spin-off series so when I heard that Blood & Chrome was coming out, I decided to check it out simply by curiosity and the fact I love stuff done by computers.

Blood & Chrome was what I expected it to be. Entertaining to a point where I didn't see the time pass, has some funny moments and some development over the story. You just know things are not going to go the way it is suppose to.

Young William Adama was cocky and he knew it. It was a pleasure to see this and the story had a twist I half saw coming ( in the sense I knew something was up but couldn't put my finger on it)

I always asked myself the same question throughout the movie, is it real or is it made by computer. I found it hard sometimes to think the animation was done by computer and I wasn't watching real actors play their part.

I recommend, this short movie made me want to rewatch the BSG series, which I will promptly do this week.
Die hard fans might be more hard on it while fans who know nothing about the BSG series might feel lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing and oh so good!, Feb 15 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it in theaters. Not that i want to compare the movies themselves, but this had the same feeling of surprise and wow as when I watched V for Vendetta.

It was a simple concept that captivated you quickly and wasted no time in small talk. Everything, each scene whether small or big had meaning in them. The scene that is the most emotional in a sense, was when Bryan talks to the kidnappers, it grabs you and afterwords, you can imagine in how much sh_t they are in without realizing it.

Beautiful and worth rewatching again and again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Skip it, Feb 11 2013
This review is from: Haywire [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Based on previous reviews I took a chance, and I am very sad that I did. This was beyond boring, acting was not what I expected from this type of movie with this kind of cast.

Slow start, not much is explained and not much character developement either. This movie could have kicked b*tt but it fell way too short for some unknown reason. The few fight scenes were magnificent and for that alone is the reason why I had picked up this movie. Unfortunately it alone cannot carry the movie.

After only 50 minutes I was seriously thinking about just stopping to watch it, which is not a good sign. In the end, I fast forwarded it becasue I just wanted it to come to an end.

Skip it.
