Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE my pets…and I for one am not ashamed to tell the world! This adorable Support Group Tee features some of the best friends a human can have–our pets. In fact, I believe that if everyone had a support group like this, it would be a much happier world! these great sage green Tees are 100% preshrunk cotton, in sizes small to 2XL.
Yeah, I sleep with dogs and I’m proud of it! Cotton tee and capri lounge pants feature a happy-tails print. Pants have an elastic drawstring waist and pom pom fringe. 100% cotton.
Check it out, you can never have too many Papermate pens!
Or double doody as the case may be. Okay, bad joke, but you have to admit this is a neat idea. There never seems to be a good spot for the cat box, and most covered cat boxes are pretty unattractive. This cabinet could also be used strictly to hide your pet’s food and water dish, as a dog house or cozy bed, or to house the little troll who lives under your bathtub. The cabinet has two shelves for storage and a stainless steel towel bar. The door also opens for easy access.
Well, I’ve known this was going to happen for a couple of months but it still makes me a little sad. Kismet is going to go live with my daughter in her new apartment. It will be hard because we’ve had Kiz since she was eight weeks old, but she’ll get tons of extra, undivided attention, and the other dogs will get more attention now as well. Abby has been begging me to let her take Kizzy practically since we got her and she finally just wore me down.
I am a little worried about how Kiz will adjust to having to wait to go potty. She’s gotten used to her doggie door and fenced-in yard. When she was little we trained her to pee-pads. I started her out on those expensive puppy pads then realized I could get virtually the same type of pad, only larger and cheaper, by ordering from places that sell incontinence supplies. I AM the consummate cheap skate. I suppose if worse came to worse, my daughter could train Kizzy back to a pads, at least when she’s not at home. And I think Kiz will really like getting to go for potty walks…
Still, it will be sad seeing her go.
Not Kizzy’s brightest look…
Poor Gilbert, our Betta fish, has had a rough morning. I decided to clean his bowl today–I do this every couple of weeks, so you’d think he’d be used to it. But NO. Every single time he goes berserk and flails around and acts like I’m going to catch and eat him. This morning he got so crazy he flipped right out of my hand and into the sink, luckily, I had the stopper in or Gil would be making his way out to sea by now.
Anyway, I got to thinking his bowl was looking sort of rough these days, it has a chink in the bottom where I dropped it a few years back and our hard water has left a permanent fog on the sides.
If you’re wondering where all of this is going, here you go…
Fish Bowl Bookends are perfect for Bettas, or fighting fish, separate halves of a bowl can be used as bookends or just sitting together. Your macho Bettas will get hours of enjoyment posturing and menacing each other from the safety of their own bowls. This would also be interesting pressed flat-side to a mirror, the duplicate image would make a complete bowl–sure to confuse and perplex guests. (always fun)
The Koi Etched Glass Bowl transforms your fish habitat into a work of art…would also make a beautiful Japanese-style terrarium, or as a lovely vase for cut flowers.
Here is Gil’s home. I bought this antique clock case at a yard sale for a song. Gil cuts a fine figure wouldn’t you say?
Have you ever seen anything so CUTE? This adorable Heather Cashmere Collection hat, sweater and blankie set is made of 100% cashmere! …Pets get chilly too and short-haired breeds like chihuahuas and Dachshunds need to be protected from the elements! Check out the picture, that is one toasty pup!
The set comes in Heathered Oatmeal or Heathered Burgundy, in sizes: 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″. Measure your dog from the base of the neck to the base of the tail and then add two inches for the correct size.
Twinkie is a dog of many moods…and sometimes she just wants to have fun! What do you think? Should Twinkie go to the Halloween parade as Twinkie The Clubber? Or did you like Twinkie The Kidd better?
P.S. Twinkie isn’t wearing panties…
We have a Halloween Parade downtown every year and I like to dress up my dogs, at least the ones that respond well to that sort of thing, Twinkie, Weenie, possibly Ginger. I’m thinking of dressing Twinkie as “Twinkie the Kid”, the Hostess snack cake character. What do you think, could she pass?
You can see more of Twinkie and my other fur babies here.
I don’t know about you guys but none of my pets even have pierced ears. Clip-ons have always worked just fine when they want to get fancied up for an evening out.
Okay, enough silliness! In case you haven’t figured it out, these pet earrings are meant for you. The doggy earrings are light green enamel and the kitty earrings are white, although I’m not sure dangly things are such a good idea around the kitties. Design is sweet and simple. Like me.
No I wasn’t in France the past three days, I was in Bloomington, Illinois. Hubby had a conference and I went along to make sure he didn’t have any fun. Overall, we had a pretty nice stay. The Chateau is huge, the picture I took only shows an itty-bitty part of it. The hotel has 180 guests rooms, plus conference rooms, restaurants and lots of areas I didn’t get to see. The hotel is designed to look like a swiss chateau on the outside and the inside is full of big, heavy European antiques, tapestries, statuary and the like. I would have liked to have brought some of it home with me, but apparently they frown on that sort of thing. Our room was really nice, clean and cozy and everything worked, and most importantly, we and the two dogs were the only living things in the room, so I was more than thrilled. I also got to eat out for three days! Woo-Hoo!
I shaved both of the pommies down to the skin before we left. The weather report was calling for 100 plus temperatures and we were worried what might happen if we had any car trouble. Brownie, our little three pound pom, was particularly P.O’d about her new “Brazilian cut”. She was mad at me all the way to Bloomington and kept giving me dirty looks and turning away.
When we got home today our other five dogs (who were being taken care of by my sister while we were at the convention) acted like we’d been gone for a month! It was complete and utter canine chaos, with yelping and licking and leaping and doggie cartwheels for a half hour or more. Of course, they do that when I come back from the grocery store too.
“Yeah, Ur Still On My Sh**tlist, mom!”
Well the contest has ended and I want to thank Jayme, Leigh, Ryan and Skeet for participating! I’ve been in quandary as to how best to randomly chose a winner and I decided finally that since this is a dog related issue I would let a dog decide! I had seven dogs to chose from and all were more than happy to help, but I chose Twinkle because she is known for being a fair and impartial kind of girl, she loves everyone! I put 4 identical plates on the floor with four dollops of dog food, with each postie’s name above. I’m pleased to announce that Twinkie ran right up and immediately devoured Skeet…Yay!!! Let’s hear it for Skeet!
Twinkie has spoken, as promised I will be sending Skeet 15.00, plus I will make a fifteen dollar donation in her name (or who ever’s name she would like) to the Humane Society’s campaign against animal fighting. Thanks so much to all who posted, I hope you all feel it was worth your while, and if it’s any consolation, Twinkie also snarfed up all the rest of you afterwards.
Twinkie has spoken!
