Most of us can’t be home 24-7, though our pets would prefer us to be. In fact, some pets are downright insistent upon it, acting out, barking and engaging in destructive behaviors when we leave them for even a short time. Many veterinarians and animal behaviorists believe that soothing music and sounds special to pets can help minimize separation anxiety and curb destructive behaviors.
The While You Are Gone DVD for Dogs features a virtual walk through the woods with sounds only dogs can hear, and the auto-loop function allows it to play all day. There are also CD’s for both dogs and cats with soothing music and special sounds designed to appeal specifically to pets.
And now this; looking for a new ceiling light? Here are some beauties…
We all know that pets can have a calming effect on humans, they can help lower our blood pressure, pulse rate and have many other beneficial effects we may not even fully realize yet. But sometimes live pets just aren’t an option, as in hospitals, dormitories, at your workplace or in cases of extreme allergies, etc.
The ZZZ Animals are adorable little fluffies, handcrafted of super soft synthetic fur and powered with two D batteries so that they actually appear to “breathe”. Each pet comes with its own bed, collar, adoption certificate and pet carrier. Choose from a Puggy, Shih-Tzu, Schnauzer, Golden Retriever, Chocolate Lab, Sheltie, Beagle or King Charles Spaniel. There are even two kitties for those cat lovers out there.
While nothing can compare to the joy of interacting with a real dog or cat, the ZZZ pets may be just the thing for those times when a live animal simply isn’t an option. Check out the site and while you’re there take a look at the other great products like motion sensor lights.

Here’s another hint, do you like to dress up your fur-babies? When my little pommie developed alopecia I began buying her preemie tee-shirts and little jackets and gowns, children’s clothes are often much less expensive than specialty pet wear!
I have asked by several readers about the nail covers shown on Logan, my daughter’s evil, blog-invading, kitty cat.
They are called “Soft Paws” and they were developed by a veterinarian. Soft Paws are vinyl nail caps to which adhesive is applied, the caps are then slipped over your dog or cat’s toenails. They are completely safe, even if you pet manages to chew them off and swallow the pieces. Soft Paws can help protect hardwood floors, screens, doors, furniture, bedding and guests from the damage inflicted by razor sharp toenails.
They also help protect your pet from excessive scratching which can lead to sores, hot spots and so on.
I just know my dogs would eat these slippers, still they’re pretty darned cute. The Yorkshire Terrier Slippers are made of soft plush fabric, with cushiony soft inch thick foam soles and slip resistant bottoms. One size fits women up to a size nine and men to a size seven, though I honestly don’t know one man who would wear these…
Interested in a vacation? Need a place to wear your new Yorkshire terrier slippers? Look into Outer Banks rentals…
Ruffruff and meow.com have tons of other adorable pet items as well, like pet carriers, bandannas, hair clips and even a doggie bakery! I even found a cute teeshirt for cousin Stinky!
My dogs are nosy so it makes them crazy when they hear noises coming from the other side of the fence and they can’t see what’s going on! A number of times, I have found Wishbone with her face pressed completely flat against the fence trying to peek between the cracks….she looks hilarious when she does this, reminds me of Snoopy doing his imitation of a vulture.
I saw a product on a website today that I think our dogs would love! It’s called The PetPeek™ window. It’s basically a clear acrylic dome which you install into your fence, giving your dogs a safe and secure, goldfish-eye look at the world beyond the yard. The Pet Peek measures 9.5 inches around, and is deep enough to accommodate even a snout like Weenie’s.
Remember the adorable bobble-head dog auto accessories? My grandparents had one in the back window of their Ford and I played with it so often I nearly discombobulated him.
These doggie bobble-heads look a lot like the ones from my childhood too, molded plastic covered with fuzzy flock. The dog bobble-heads also come in several breeds, Husky, Dalmatian, Retriever, Beagle, Chihuahua, Poodle and Bull Terrier to name a few.
Here’s a shirt for all the dyslexic dog lovers out there! The Dogfather tee is made of 100% preshrunk cotton. At 16.95, it’s an offer you can’t refuse!
Unfortunately, I found this cute shirt on the internet the day before Christmas. If I’d had more time I’d have ordered it for my hubby, since he is daddy to seven dogs. Also, I don’t know if this qualifies as dyslexic, but my hubby teases me constantly because I turn words around, whether speaking, reading or writing (thank goodness for chellspeck). It’s even worse when I’m stressed out, so I’ve been doing it plenty this past month, what with the horrible weather, my sister’s surgery, trying to get all our Christmas shopping done and preparing for the big Christmas party.
I think I did more online shopping this year than I ever have before. In fact, lately I check the web first for whatever I need, whether it be Alpaca wool sources or term life insurance quotes. I honestly don’t know how I ever got anything done before the internet…
