Saved by the Dog door bell

Door bell that’s gone to the dogs
My dog’s name is Marley. Yep, just like the canine protagonist of the New York Times Bestselling autobiographical book (and soon to be released feature film starring Jennifer Aniston & Owen Wilson) Marley & Me.
Marley and Me are living the good life. My Marley never wreaked as much havoc as the yellow lab literary Marley from the book, although she did do her fair share of pillow tearing and slipper chewing back in her days as a mighty precocious pup. Always a quick study, Marley was potty trained before I knew it thanks to a handy doggie door installed in our old house. Marley came and went as she pleased…until we moved into my condo. Now she’s under house arrest.
We’re pretty in sync when it comes to walk time, but every now and then poop happens. This Gotta Go Dog Door bell from J-B Wholesale Pet Supplies lets me know when Marley’s gotta go so I don’t end up with a whole lotta mess I gotta clean up.

Bell helmet saves girl from car catastrophes
In these parts they call me the Demon on Wheels, not necessarily because I feel the need for speed. Au contraire, my car and I find ourselves the helpless victims of more mishaps than a pro Indy 500 race car driver. My poor Hyundai was almost burnt to a crisp a couple of months ago and was just declared a total loss after a recent fender bender with some Fast and the Furious driving reject.
That’s it. I either need to invest in a really superb life insurance policy, or decent headgear. This Bell Helmet from HRP World is bound to keep my noggin safe and protected the next time an automobile mishap comes driving my way.

Nutcracker featuring Hillary Clinton’s thighs of steel
Just when you thought you were over the Hill…
She’s back. With a vengeance.
It’s official. President-elect Barack Obama formally nominated Hillary Clinton for the prestigious position of Secretary of State as he rolled out his national security team last week. All I have to say is, You go girl. You may not be living in your old bedroom back at the White House, but you’re in the Cabinet and ready to crack down on all of our country’s dilemmas with the tenacity of a champion nutcracker. Which brings me to our featured product… Wooden Nutcracker Soldiers are so last year. This Christmas, surprise them with a Hillary Clinton Nutcracker from Collector’s Edge to crack all those holiday nuts in style.
There’s no crying in baseball

Pictures of Yankee Stadium in all it’s Yankee glory
I don’t cry.
I didn’t cry when I learned there was no Santa, I didn’t cry during any of my excruciating knee surgeries, and I certainly didn’t cry after reading the last Harry Potter book. But I did cry on September 21st when the Yankees beat the Orioles during their last game at Yankee Stadium. At least I can cherish those last memories with one of these priceless, commemorative Yankee Stadium Pictures from Legends of the Field.

Handsome tuxedo styles for a couple of hot dogs
It was a day that would go down in history -The first same sex canine marriage to be performed in the state of California. After sharing the same doghouse and living together in a domestic partnership for five years (thirty-five in dog years), Butch and Pepé finally decided to make it official. Pepé would now be added to Butch’s veterinary insurance policy and receive the same benefits and rights as any legal spouse. The catering was by Petco, the dog flea shampoo and styling products from 1800 Pet Meds, the flowers from Tulips.com, and the dashing dog tuxedo set from Marilyn’s Keepsakes.
I still believe in Santa dogs

This Santa Dog suit from In the Company of Dogs makes me believe
When I was ten I stopped believing in Santa. I witnessed my sleepy father ripping a Cabbage Patch Kid out of it’s box and from that day forward I knew, it was all a pretense. Until last year. Why does this Dog Santa Suit from In the Company of Dogs make me believe? Here is my story…
Last Christmas Eve I was
sleeping all snug in my bed,
while visions of Marc Jacobs
handbags danced in my head.
When down on the stairs
there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed
to see what was the matter.
I need the exercise

Pole Dancing 101 with the Pyramid Collection
My body is a wonderland, and I need to keep it that way. I get bored of workout regimens pretty easily- running gets old, elliptical machines are so monotonous and Yoga makes me drowsy. I’m always looking for something new which is why this Pole Dancing Kit from The Pyramid Collection is at the top of my holiday Wish List. It will help me maintain my girlish figure…while entertaining a few other girlish figures.

Have some Presidential fun with Catalog Favorites gifts
After the past election, I’m still hyped up and feeling kinda presidential. My vote counted and President-to-be Barack Obama is going to take good care of me and my fellow Americans. I’d like to forget about how I’ve been screwed for the past eight years and celebrate the fact that the Democrats are back in the house. No better way to celebrate the victory of our new President Elect than with a Presidential wine party! This Bill Clinton corkscrew from Catalog Favorites is a welcome addition to any wine party…or party in general.

Treat man’s best friend to a catalog of gadget gifts from Hammacher Schlemmer
Whether it’s 4 o’clock in the morning interrupting the most peaceful sleep you’ve had in months, or on a Friday night when you’re out for cocktails, dinner and dancing… When a dogs gotta go, a dogs gotta go.
I can’t put Bryan’s Wee Wee Man pee pee tee pee on my dog, so this Indoor Dog Restroom from the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog will have to do.

Halloween bead crafts for frighteningly fun fashions!
There’s no doubt about it, I’m into jewelry. If you’re talking bling, I’m all ears. Unfortunately for my daughters’ future husbands, they inherited my love for all things that go bling in the night as well.
During these tough economic times, I may not be able to bling my girls with carats, but I can bling them with cats thanks to this Glass Earring Bead Crafts Kit from Oriental Trading Company’s Sensational Beads.

Feel pretty dog outfits and puppy clothes for your pretty puppy pals
I don’t know about your pet, but mine is a pretty, pretty princess…and not just on Halloween when I dress her up like Cinderella and rent her a great big pumpkin carriage. My pup is a princess all year round, and to keep her looking as good as Paris Hilton’s chihuahua Tinkerbell, she’s gotta have the right fashions.
Lucky for her she has a stylin’ mom who writes a fashion blog and knows all there is to know about clothes…for two legged as well as four legged creatures. For pretty princess Puppy clothes suitable for my belovéd pupcake, I head to Rock ‘N’ Pooches.
Have a nice Doris Day

Dig in to this Doris Day biography for the scoop on one of your favorite Old Hollywood stars
When I was just a little girl,
I asked my mother “What will I be?”
“Will I be pretty, will I be rich?”
Here’s what she said to me…
“How the hell should I know?”
Thanks Mom.
It’s a good thing I picked up this Doris Day biography from BearManor Media. Que Sera, Sera The Magic of Doris Day Through Television tells me everything I ever wanted to know but was too scared to ask Mom.
