Summer Fun: Dogs and Cats

While we're having fun this summer we don't want to leave out our animals, or the animal lovers among us, so today, I have a few animal related things to show you.

Here's something cool for Fido, and you can even get 10% off.

Yep. Saving money is GOOD.

Help your dog beat the summer heat with a portable dog pool that's easy to fill and empty, and made of extra tough PVC for lasting use. Perfect for a refreshing dip in backyards, or on decks or patios. Save 10% on this and any other item in the Dog Gear for Summer category at Your Pet Store with More, by using coupon code SUMMER10. Offer expires August 31, 2010.

For cat lovers, here's a "Cat in Grass" frosted stein for enjoying your favorite ice cold summer beverage, with a picture of a sleek black cat on it. As an added bonus, there's special text underneath the kitty. What does the text say? That's up to you... Maybe your name... or your faorite saying ... or a clever caption for the photo. It's up to you, just fill in the blank to customize it at TropiCards.

Don't forget about your dog's summer wardrobe this Summer. How about a new collar, leash, outfit, or harness... ? Found on eCrater, at by Diana, this item is a colorful dog collar covered in stars. It is a one inch wide dog collar with a metal buckle for size 16-20 inch neck.
Now, that's one snazzy looking dog collar, if you ask me.

Finally, kids are animal lovers, too. And here's a neat project to keep them occupied one afternoon when they run out of things to do: making a treat bag for the dog or cat. In her Pets Adored blog, Shelly suggests getting an inexpensive cloth bag from a local discount store, along with self-adhesive felt and wiggle eyes. That's all the kids will need to create a cute bag like the one shown here. For more great ideas and pet tips, see Shelly's blog!
