Does anyone know a dog that doesn't chew? Have you ever returned home to find your new shoes with doggy damage or your favorite book ripped to shreds? How about a DVD with teeth marks in it? Dogs get bored and puppies need to teethe. Dogs, like babies, like to "taste" their world, so chewing is normal behavior. Providing your dog with plenty of toys will prevent your personal items from being destroyed.
But do any dog toys last longer than two minutes for a dog who chews aggressively? If they are made of Zogoflex, they do.
What is Zogoflex? This is an extremely tough material that is pliable, buoyant and designed to be recyclable. Virtually no waste is created in the manufacturing process of Zogoflex. Zogoflex material is made in the USA. It is non-toxic and FDA compliant. It's used to create dog toys that are durable and fun for your dog. These toys are guaranteed against doggy damage.
As an important note, Zogoflex and any of its components do not contain any known sources of lead, cadmium, mercury, latex, natural rubber, phthalates, hormones, Bisphenol A or asbestos. That's pretty significant,

Zogoflex is also dishwasher safe. If it gets dirty, it can be placed on the top rack of your dishwasher and will come out clean and looking like new.
The Zogoflex line of toys includes the following:
A dog toy called a "Hurley" that is shaped something like a bone that can be tossed for a game of fetch. It even floats, for dogs who love water.
A toy called a "Zisc" that looks like a frisbee but is more pliable. It can be thrown like a frisbee but can also be used as a tug toy.
A toy called a "Huck" that is shaped something like a ball, again good for fetching.
A toy called a "Bumi" that is in the shape of an "S" but is very flexible and can be stretched, good for tug-of-war.
A toy called a "Tux" that allows dog treats to be tucked into it for more of a challenge to your dog.
How is Zogoflex guaranteed?
If you have a dog that is able to damage a Zogoflex toy, then your dog must be an amazingly powerful chewer as the return rate is less than 1%. You can return the damaged toy for a one-time free replacement or a refund, your choice. The damaged toys are inspected for weaknesses and then recycled. Since there are 5 different styles in the Zogoflex product line, that means 5 free replacements if your dog damages one toy from each style. Due to the different shapes and sizes of the Zogoflex toys, some dogs may be able to damage one style of toy but may not be able to damage another style.
Finally -- a dog toy that stands up to bulldogs, Jack Russell terriers and any other aggressive chewers and is eco friendly too!
4. No apologies please.Some actors seem to think they are among royalty when in an audition and apologize for everything they do if it's not perfect. That implies the wrong mindset in the audition. While it's nice to apologize, in an audition it indicates that you aren't totally involved in what you are doing...just focus on what you are doing, not how it's affecting the audience. You don't know how they feel about you. They might love your energy and everything about you but when you apologize you are pointing out that you think you did something wrong, so unless you fart in their faces or knock over the lights or camera, there's nothing in an audition to apologize for. I would say the one exception is if you are working on another job and don't have the time to get your lines down, you might want to apologize for that to manage their expectations a bit...but I'm not even sure that's a good thing.
Prepared or not, apologizing to them is the same as making an excuse for yourself. If you are apologizing to the room before you perform, you are basically saying, "Sorry I suck" before you even speak a word. If you start out thinking you are going to suck...do the math...not much chance for success in that environment.5. Casting is rooting against you.Maybe because auditions are so hard to come by and there's a certain distance maintained between casting and actors, actors often get the idea that casting directors are in some way rooting for them to fail. Nothing could be more false. Casting has made a big decision in allowing you to fill one of the few spots available for each role. They are putting their reputation on the line with their bosses, the producers. They want you to validate that they have made a good choice.
