While I was out shopping today, Scout got her paws on the computer and went online. I don’t mind when she does this because it keeps her out of trouble and from herding JoJo into corners, and such. Anyway, when I came home, she was in a complete tizzy. She told me that she found something she totally fell in love with and MUST have. Well, assuming this must-have item was probably like the other must-have items on her list (medium-sized Greenies, chicken-flavored Nylabones, a bag of Snausages, etc.), I happily agreed to buy it … before I saw what it was.

She led me to the computer room all abuzz, snuffling and snorting away in sheer excitement, and hopped online to her new favorite dog boutique, Paw Printz. What she showed me was a little different than the cat-shaped dog cookies that I was expecting (and a bit more expensive, too).

It seems as if my loving dog wants a David Salmon Pet Pavilion—the Louis XV Style, to be exact. I have to admit, this is one gorgeous piece of dog furniture. I mean, look at it! It is hand crafted in 18th-Century French Rosewood commode. Not only that, but it has a shaped apron with splayed feet and is “surmounted by a hand-carved and water gilded finial.” (I am not sure what that quoted part means, but it sure sounds nice!) No one ever said that my Scouty didn’t have good taste.

So, I tired to explain to Scout that this bed … excuse me, pavilion, cost more than my car, but she wouldn’t hear it. After all, I promised I would buy this for her. Sigh … does anyone have $23,990 I can borrow? Of course she chose the most expensive one, too.

Bunnies! Bunnies! I love bunnies. I have a friend, Kelly, who actually owns seven bunnies. She rescues them with the full intent to find them loving families, then falls in love and refuses to give any away. How we love dogs, she loves bunnies. And can you blame her? Those fuzzy ears, twitchy noses, soft wittle bodies. My husband is no fan of the critter family, but he, too, loves rabbits. So, in this post, I give a shout out to my rabbit-lovin’ friends, Kelly and Dave (even though they never read my posts!).

Bunny Bytes is a great online resource for all things rabbit. They carry organic litter, digestive supplements, grooming aids, and more—all for your house rabbit. One of our favorite items is the Cottontail Cottage. This cardboard playhouse is completely safe for bunny cavorting. It has two upper levels with ramps between for easy hopping access, and several doors and windows for bouncing through and peeking out. Plus, it’s adorable. And it won’t clash with your hot home décor.

Also, check out their wooden toys. Mmmm… wood. Although wood hardly seems like a treat to us, bunnies love to sink their teeth into it. Toys, like the 3-D Palm Tree Balsa Buddy, are made from textured bunny-safe balsa wood. Rabbits give these chew toys two paws up.

So, if your heart belongs to bunnies, you know that they need more than carrots to be happy. Do they really like carrots that much, anyway?
