Can Your Dog Figure Out A Puzzle?

Well, FOXMM thinks your pet can get IQ Training & Mental Stimulation from their Fun Puzzle Slow Feeder,

I didn’t know there were Interactive Dog Puzzle Toys designed to encourage dogs or cats to seek foods by sliding the sliders. There’s a squeaky sounding device in the middle of the toy to attract the pet’s attention. The company says their memory training puzzle toys can keep smart dogs busy and engaged in more thinking and activities. One thing I’m sure of with our dog Charlie. With the snacks hidden in the puzzle board he spend almost 8 minutes getting them out, as opposed to about 30 seconds if they were on a plate or hand fed to him. Made with toxic-free PP materials, it can be easily washed with water or in the dishwasher. It was under $12 when I bought mine on Amazon.

If you haven’t, you’ll learn about them on this week’s show. The SockitBox is said to be: The Original Weatherproof Connection Box – An Indoor & Outdoor Electrical Power Cord Enclosure. Chad who had a lot of outdoor lighting in his previous house loved this idea. It’s an IP55 Rated of Power Cord Connection Box designed to keep power strips, surge protectors, plug-in timers, and other multi-socket gear dry. It comes in 3 sizes. I bought the large which can hold a lot of plug in devices. You’ll see on the show how the box cover really protect the connected AC cables. Three sizes range in price from about $19 to $30. At $30 the large box does seem a bit pricey, but I think it will really protect outdoor cables. Be aware though, it’s designed so that all the cables are connected through only one side of the box.

It’s September, time to learn what Chad’s Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons, is. They picked Cheap “As Seen On TV” Gadgets!

Chad’s first new theme gadget is: Ultra-Powerful Magnetic Silicone Zip Ties, AS-SEEN-ON-TV!

Some hype from the company: Ultra-Powerful Magnetic Zip Ties: ditch the weak plastic zip ties and organize cables and cords with Ruby Holding Hands, ultra-powerful magnetic zip ties! Just wrap and clap! Our industrial-strength silicone can handle any organization job around your home, easily wrapping even the bulkiest bundles.

Well, Chad’s opinion is quite different. He hates these. Watch his complete demo to see why. One reason is they’re a bit expensive at $9.98 for 8 of them. You’ll hear and see his other reasons on this week’s show, plus a suggestion or two of what to use from folks in the chatroom.

Our email is from Frank S. AKA MAD_Frank in chat. He email us a link to very unusual warehouse video that I think you’ll really enjoy. Here’s Frank’s email:

Hey Dick and Chad!

I did a silly review of this shower speaker. I figure if you’re gonna review something like that, you should be in the shower. I teased this idea over a month ago in the chat room, but I’m a lazy ******.

Also, I could’ve sworn I found it on Amazon or AliExpress, but when I was searching last night, I couldn’t find anything close, so I don’t have a link for you. I think the box had a different name, but I threw it out. 

Much love, Frank Schnyder (MAD_Frank)

From the Giz Wiz: I think I found it on Amazon and it is inexpensive!
