Bri's Weekly Top Three 3.3.2017
Looks like all the Midlee products are wrapped up for the time being, so this week is a scattering of different products from different brands. There's even a cat toy, which I never feel like I mention enough. Nothing's cuter than a kitten and they deserve some nifty things too. To make of for the [...]
The Smiles of Our Pets
February is National Pet Dental Health Month. It's just as important to keep up with your pet's dental health as it is for you to keep up with yours. They get tartar build-up, plague, and possible gum infections just like us. So, as much as the idea of brushing your pet's teeth might seem strange, it's [...]

This week we're talking about dog toys! There's a lot of them, and there's a huge variety. Of course, there's a lot of potential for variety, since cats and dogs toys are different since they need different types of stimulation, and even if you only made toys based on animals, there's over 50,000 species of [...]

Tortoiseshell cats are well-known by cat-owners and cat-lovers and anyone who has a general familiarity with cats. Even if you don't know the name, it'd be hard to miss the distinctive fur patterning. 'Tortoiseshell' refers to cats with black or gray coats marbled with any number of 'reddish' colors that vary by individual cat. It's [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 10.28.16
I shall bore you no more with pet costumes! At least, not for a while yet. This week I moved on to anything vaguely related to Thanksgiving, including pumpkin flavored treats, and Christmas items. It's unbelievable how quickly this month passed, and suddenly I have a craving for turkey and stuffing. It can wait, though, [...]
