    Get your business cards organized!

    Do it with the mini Business Card File 

    Do you collect a lot of business cards. And do you have business cards on your dresser, desk, and in your briefcase? I didn't have a central place to keep business cards until someone showed me this miniature file cabinet. It provides storage for 800 business cards and you'll know where they are. It's made of sturdy plastic and available in silver or brown color. The top drawer has a built-in digital clock with date. A-Z card index dividers are included. Dimensions: 6.5" x 4.5" x 6.5". It's a bit pricey considering it's just made of plastic, but it should help you save time finding business cards you need.

    Now you can carry your dog in comfort-on your back!

     

    K9 Sport Sacks say they are the #1 dog carrier backpacks in the world. I do know that they get rave reviews online and in posted videos. The model I wore on air with Charlie (our rescue dog) is the K9 Sport Sack AIR PLUS. It has a detachable storage bag (14"x9") for personal items. There's a padded back panel for comfort and cooling, plus wide pressure relieving shoulder straps. A safety D-ring is provided for collar hook-up and there are mesh dual side pockets. A thick bottom rest pad is to keep your dog comfortable. Light reflecting adjustable sternum strap. This is a great way to take your dog hiking, camping, or use it for any outdoor activity. There are models for dogs up to 40 pounds. This is also an ideal solution for folks with two dogs; a big one and a little one. The little guy probably tires quickly trying to keep up with his big dog buddy. Now the litte one can travel in his K9 Sport Sack when he tires out. Depending on the size and the model, they range in price from about $70 to $95.00

    Let There Be Light On Your Dog For His or Her Walk.

    Meet The Headlight Harness 

    The Headlight Harness is a great versatile dog harness. It's well constructed, highly reflective, lightweight and even water resistant. It earns its name because it features an integrated, focused beam LED in the chest area which lights the way with over 80 lumens. Not only does it light up the path ahead on your walks at night, it also makes you and your pet visible to any vehicles or bikes in the area. And that greatly reduces the risk of being struck. The company says that their “No Choke/No Pull” design eliminates choking while calming your dog and reducing their tendency to “Pull Away” from their owners while on walks. Another bonus is that the Headlight Harness also keeps your pet safe and secure in vehicles. Simply run the seatbelt through the sturdy handle on the top and buckle it for a safe and relaxing ride. It also, and this we like a lot for Charlie, doesn't choke your dog if they tend to pull on their collar. You'll see the explantion in the video on this week's show. Most models sell for $59.99, a very decent price considering the quality of the harness.

    Meet the Intellikatt - The challenging interactive bowl for cats

    The Intellikatt is not a regular cat feeding bowl. It makes your cat work his/her dexterity to get their food. The company says this has many benefits. It helps prevent bad behaviors, ensures a slower feeding time, helps develop your cat's intellect and more. With more than 500 configurations possible, it can be adapted to follow your cat's learning process. Begin with the easier starter bowl and gradually add to the level of difficulty by adding height and discs.Diner time for cats just got a lot more interesting! -- Unless of course they just ignore it and decide to order out.

    Brilliant Pad - World's First Self-Cleaning Puppy Pad & Dog Potty.

    Designed to handle #1 and #2, the highly absorbent BrilliantPad soaks up liquids and dries out solids. It wraps and seals waste to keep your home clean and odor free. A built-in timer replaces pad automatically or you can refresh anytime at the touch of a button. I asked what happens if there's a puppy on the pad when the machine is set to automatic and the spokesperson said a sensor won't let the machine start until the pad is clear of your pet. Waste is sealed inside while outside remains dry and your hands stay clean. Biodegradable caps prevent leaks and foul odors. One long-lasting roll lets you enjoy your pet without the clean-up chore. The company says one roll = 27 regular wee pads. $149.99 (as on 11/12/18) Refills are $20 to $32 depending on the number you buy and if you subscribe to one of their refill plans.
