Feature: Angela's Stores

ROFL by yourpetstorewithmore

Gift Listings for Shoppers sends a shout out today to Angela Steward, CEO of Your Pet Store with More, where "great selection, great prices, and fantastic customer service join to be the perfect pet store." There, you'll find quality pet supplies, from toys to dishes to health and grooming products. She's ready for the holidays, too, with a whole section called Amazing Christmas Gifts.

One thing that I think would make an amazing Christmas gift is a particular doggie bed that she carries... These have got to be the cutest pet beds I've seen in a while. They look just like fluffy bedroom slippers, and come in either pink or blue. Don't those little doggies in the pictures look just as happy as clams in their slipperbeds? And why are clams ALWAYS described as happy?

In addition to items for sale, Angela has thoughtfully provided a good deal of interesting and useful information for pet owners, too, from her Little Known Facts about Dogs to an informative article about incontinence.

This lady is quite the entrpeneur! She has several other stores, too:
1 -At The Manicured Bonsai, she sells bonsai trees, supplies, and orchids.
2 -A Zazzle gallery at Zazzle.com/YourPetStotewithMore carries gifts for pet lovers.
3- Like Elephants? (or Republicans?) Then, visit ElephantElephants, another zazzle gallery by Angela.

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!
