Dollywood is For the Birds (Among Other Things)

While Murphy enjoyed Doggywood during our recent Smoky Mountain Getaway, Wayne and I enjoyed Dollywood. And we truly enjoyed it. Especially me, because at every turn I discovered this was no ordinary amusement park. In addition to the exciting rides, craftsman exhibits, and great food, there was also an emphasis on animal conservation. Eagle Mountain Sanctuary As far as birds go, Dolly is definitely for them.

(And apparently it’s … Continue reading →

Mother’s Day Gifts for Pet Moms

I don’t have children –human ones, that is—but I do have my dog and two cats and I do consider myself their mom. So does my husband. Most Mother’s Days he spoils me with cards from both the pets and himself expressing their appreciation for all I do for them. It’s a dearly treasured gesture. (A lot of times it’s even accompanied with breakfast in bed or the question, “Where would you like me to take you for breakfast today?” Since I’m a big breakfast lover, this is one of the best gifts I can get!) The other day while … Continue reading →

For Dog Lovers: In the Company of Dogs has some of my favorite things. Their Canine Coat of Arms door mat is now a whopping 57% off, making it $12.99. The design is great, but what I like most about this item is the Latin on it, which translated says: “Always loyal, forever faithful” and “Love me, love my dog.” (I can’t get it, though, because the cat would feel slighted!) I’m a proud owner … Continue reading →

Shopping the Sales: Cool Christmas Clearance for Other Pets

I only have a cat and a dog, but I know other Families.com members consider species other than canine and feline family too. Since I presented cool Christmas clearance for dogs and cats, and don’t want to leave anyone out, I went bargain hunting for small pets, fish, and reptiles too. I picked the following deals based on how they appealed to the consumer in me.
