Top 10: stuff fer yer kitty and puppy
This is an easy top ten, so I’m back up in the numbers of things that I’m listing. This week I’m featuring some great stuff for animals. I should say - I love animals, and at home I have an adorable little Yorkshire terrier doggie named Audrey and an aloof, mysterious all-black kitty named Caper, and I like buying them things that they turn up their noses at.
Be sure to see the top three for a special pet treat!
10. Homemade dog treats with an embroidered bag that says “Bite Me.” From Hands and Paws.
9. Heatable Catnip Pillow from Craft Leftovers
8. Pet “snuggle bed” a.k.a. the Mean Green Sleeping Machine from No More Nekkid Dogs.
7. I always thought greyhounds looked chilly, so it’s only appropriate I offer up a pattern for a Greyhound fisherman’s sweater … and HOOD! from Aerie Designs.
6. Recipes for your Pets: cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, turtles, birds, rabbits - you name it. Citing recent pet food scares, this website offers up ways to feed the little critters you love homemade goodies. You can also add recipes you have for your your little darlings. “Live Crickets” doesn’t count. It’s not a recipe.
5. Guaranteed to disappear soon, but on Craig’s List I found this beautiful bird cage made for finches and the like.
4. My husband and I periodically make a visit to the Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market in South Austin where we regularly purchase “Barkin Bacon” treats (pictured below) from the lovely woman at the Happy Tails Cafe. Our dog LOVES (I mean really loves) bacon, and she thinks these are the Real Thing. It’s a big endorsement. They have lots of good stuff besides yummy treats - check out their bathtime selection!
My last three (top three) are from a website called Crafters for Critters . All items sold here are handmade, and even better all items sold on the website go to support animal non-profits.
3. Longtail Catnip Mice for your favorite kitties! Made by Recycling Artist.
2. Ribbon Dog Collars in three colors! From Petunia! on Crafters for Critters.
1. Recycled Silver Personalized Pet Tag! One of their best sellers. Features the dog’s name and the owner’s phone number. Probably not in stock for long! Made by Maize Hutton.
