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. In particular the bald eagle. I’m not sure exactly how many eagles call the 30,000 square foot aviary known as Eagle Mountain Sanctuary home, but what a nice one they have! (And apparently it’s … Continue reading →

Shopping for Father’s Day Gifts for Wayne from the Pets

Yesterday I wrote about Murphy, Kitty, and Tabby’s dilemma over what to get Wayne for Father’s Day. Like I mentioned, I sort of already have in mind what I want to get him, but I’d also like to give him a little something especially from the “kids.” The trouble is, that’s hard. At Christmas, I lucked out and found the “Dog Dad” and “Dog Mom” shirts at Personal Creations. I hopped all over that and got him a “Murphy’s Dad” shirt for Christmas. But finding something from the cats and/or Murphy that’s specialized like that? Hard. If he was a … 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 →

Wall Art or Fish Tank?

As I mentioned in my article, Shopping the Sales: Cool Christmas Clearance for Pet Lovers, I’d like to have an aquarium some day. I was thinking along the lines of a basic fish bowl, some rocks, one fish, maybe a sunken treasure or castle or something for decoration. That was until I saw the AquaVista 500. I stumbled across it in a magazine, but when I went to the product maker’s website I discovered they’ve been featured on the CBS’s The Early Show and HGTV’s I Want That. I can see why, they have a pretty neat product. Now, in … Continue reading →

Shopping the Sales: Cool Christmas Clearance for Pet Lovers

While I was bargain hunting for the dogs, cats, and other family pets, I stumbled across some neat sales items their humans might like too. 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 →
