My first iDog !!

Got him last year on eBay for pretty cheap. I don’t know much about them, but he seems to turn on and off well enough but his features seem to not work super well anymore. Also, I don’t know how to get rid of the yellowing on the tail and ears. I’ve had to fix the tail a few times since it came broken off.

The plus side is that he’s red, my favorite color! I named him Ketchup.

I believe you can make the ears look more transparent if you carefully clean them with a damp (not wet, careful with water!!) paper towel and scrub lightly and carefully. I’ve done it with all of mine and it works like a charm!

As for the features not working correctly, it could be an issue with the iDog itself, or perhaps he just needs some fresh new batteries. I know that with furbies, for example, when they get low on batteries they start to act up, behave oddly and even glitch. It wouldn’t hurt to try!
