Our Must Haves For October

The latest incarnation of FurReal Friend's life-like dogs is even more fun than the first. FurReal Friends Get Up and GoGo My Walking Pup Pet ($60) — yes, it has a crazy-long name — may be the most lifelike yet. The dog's head tilts as if she's listening to you, her tail wags, and she responds when her head is tapped or you talk to her. My kids can't stop playing with her — they've even surprised a few visitors into thinking that we had a new pet at home!
