Who Wants to Save Some Money..??

I love to find bargains. Now mind you, I do not like to shop. I don't know what the deal is, but I seemed to have missed getting that female gene. However, I do love to save money and find bargains, so it does require me to do some shopping to accomplish this.

But, bless the Internet, there are ways to shop without having to go out and fight the crowds.

Of course, the most reasonable place to find clothing for your sweet little pup is at my store HERE. However, I am going to tell you about a couple other real bargain places!

First is Barking Deals: Pet Deal of the Day. This place is fantastic. They feature a new item almost everyday that is between 50%-70% off regular price and they even have FREE shipping! You can sign up for daily emails and they will let you know what the deal for the day is and you don't have to remember to go look. Just before Christmas they had Large King Wubbas for $4.99. This is at least half the price I have ever seen them in stores. With the free shipping they were a bargain I couldn't pass up. These are a favorite toy of both Bonnie and Carson, so I ordered three. There was no place to specify color, but this is what I received:



Today's deal is CalmEars™ with Aloe Vera (8 fl. oz.) for $4.99. I don't always need (okay, sometimes it is just a want) what they are selling each day, but I do love the bargains.

Another fun place is Kyjen. This company makes all sorts of dog toys, with the emphasis on durability and FUN. The really fun thing about this site, is up in the right hand corner is a spot where you can sign up to be a toy tester. You fill out a small questionnaire about your pets and at various times you will be chosen as a tester for some toys. They send them to you for free, you play with them with your dog and report back to the company. Easy.

When in the bargain hunting arena, be sure to register on the PetSmart website, which will allow you to access extra coupon deals that you can print out and take to the store or use online.

In these tough economic times, it is great to have ways to save money so that we can spoil our pups more, right?



After all, according to Stormie, a dog can never have too much spoiling...

Baby, It's Cold Outside

As with most of the country, we have been experiencing some bitterly cold weather. We have been spared the huge snow storms, thank heavens, as the girls HATE snow. But, the temperature has stayed below freezing for nearly a week now.

I have had the girls dressed in warm sweaters, but we really wanted to model these fun little tshirt hoodies that I picked up in the bargain bin at Target a couple months ago. While they express every one's opinion very well, since they are light weight tshirt material, they are not really the proper attire to go out for potty breaks in. But, they have been fun to wear around the house and everyone reads the shirts and agrees whole heartedly that it is time for the weather to warm up a bit.

I think it might be working girls....it's a balmy 38 degrees today!

Anyone Getting Married?

I am not planning any weddings in the near future, but if you or someone you know is planning one, then you know that the design ideas for cake toppers is endless. Gone are the days of the regulation generic bride and groom figures atop a basic cake. The cakes today are as individual as the people getting married and the ideas for cake toppers is endless.

If you know someone who is getting married and their little dogs share their lives, here is the perfect cake topper! Is this too adorable or what? Can you just imagine all the possibilities?

This custom cake topper is made from polymer clay. The designer will customize it to match your bride and groom, as well as pets. They are available at Mara's Little People, a shop on Etsy. You really need to visit and look at some of her creations. The details are exquisite and each is an original piece, not cast from a mold.

I think they are adorable and just wanted to share. If you know of someone who is getting married and who would love this idea, pass it on!
