I’ve had lots of experience with different brands of running wheels. I’ve already done a summary at the bottom of my first pet exercise wheel review, but I’ve created a new summary to include one of the newer wheels. So, to summarize: The wheel to get depends primarily on the pet you have, and secondarily on how much you want to spend. I’ve included some Amazon links below for your convenience. They are affiliate links, which means if you end…
If you’re like most people, you’ve gotten a spam email. It could look like it came from UPS about a package you sent. Or it could be an email from a friend with a link and just one line of vague text like “You’ve got to check this out!” Today I got yet another one from ‘Paypal’ that looked official. But of course it wasn’t. People always say not to click on a link in an email. But sometimes the…
I recently bought myself a GoPro (the Hero 3+ black edition). I wanted it to be able to capture videos of the dogs in the park in a way that was hands-free. I’m still learning things about it, but if you’re a beginner like me, here are some things that will get you started. Getting it out of the box You’d think this would be obvious, but it isn’t. The camera is mounted inside a hard plastic case on top…
My rating: I’m not one of those people who talks and texts on a cell phone constantly. In fact, I resisted getting one for years. But after working for a dog playgroup company and deciding to start my own, I realized I needed one. I was really anticipating barely spending 100 minutes per month and I wanted the absolute cheapest plan possible. First I tried Virgin Mobile Pay-as-you-go plan because they are the absolute cheapest if you really don’t use…
Keep in mind when you read this review, I’m pretty new to the cell phone game. I resisted getting one for years. But then I got a job taking dogs to the park to play (yeah, I know, really rough). That’s the kind of job that really needs a cell phone because you might get a last-minute call to pick up a dog. So I went searching for the absolute cheapest plan I could find. I was expecting to only…
I have quite a few pets. We buy two different kinds of dog food as well as rat kibble. I love the Vittles Vault. It’s that stackable food storage thing with the spin top. It works really well to keep the kibble in an airtight environment. You can get the from most pet stores, or of course, Amazon: Vittles Vault Here’s a tip: buy bigger than you think you need. I bought the 40-gallon for a 30-gallon bag of kibble….
Ok, I don’t know what it is about butter over any other thing in my refrigerator, but it always, always has that refrigerator smell/taste. I can taste it when I spread it on something or when I bake with it. I tried a lot of different things to keep thing from happening, including putting it in the butter drawer of the fridge, putting it in a sealed container with some baking soda wrapped in a paper towel. But nothing worked….
My husband and I have a business where we get Christmas tips every year. A few clients always give us generic gift cards, like a Visa gift card. While we really appreciate the thought, they’re kind of annoying to use. I do almost 100% of my shopping online, and the problem with them is that most websites will only let you use one method of payment. So if I have $9.50 left on a card and I want to buy…
Everyone knows what Kongs are, right? Those dog toys shaped a little bit like a cross between a football and a snowman? They’re supposed to be pretty tough, but my dog could destroy a Kong pretty easily. I watched him do it; he bites right where the two segments meet and just keeps working it. Eventually the segments separate and then he pulls off pieces of rubber. And my dog is a golden mix; not even a breed with strong…
I first built a dog ramp when our husky mix became too old to use the stairs. Well, actually two ramps: one from the dog door to a landing, then another from the landing to the ground. I found a few pages on the web about how to build a ramp, but every one of them uses plywood. I really, really dislike plywood. It seems to fall apart to quickly. My original ramp was plywood, painted. It looked great at…
