Brude has more junk than you can shake a stick at

Most of it is pretty run of the mill dog stuff - in excess..
two plastic baskets, two wire crates, numerous toys for under a fiver, Ancol leather collars.....

We also have a Liverpool strip, snoopy blanket, chrome pawprint bowls, pawprint food spork, reflective paws/bones collar and lead set, flashing collar, hi-visibility jacket, own luggage for holidays - including canvas crate....

I traipsed all over Sheffield looking for some of this stuff but had to give up and order it off the 'net :(


What indulgences does your pet have?
How much effort was it to get some of this stuff?

Albert also has loads lol
A crate, a travel crate, 2 expensive dogs beds (didn't like the first one lol), 3 collars, light up collar, harness, seat belt, 4 leads all different varieties, various toys and things to throw, raised feeder, travel bowl. Shampoos, brushes, supplements, toothbrush etc.

To be honest my oh gets furious with me for how much i spend and i am sure Albert would be happy with a quarter of this stuff. But I like having eveything i need and I also like to try different stuff out. I do have to remind oh though that Albert is my pet and hobby so why can i not spend money on something i enjoy and love.

Most of it not an effort but did shop around for prices etc. and some of the internet.

Plenty of toys in this house.

Plus both of mine have car seats. People laugh when I say that but they are great as both are clipped in and cannot get to me if I am on my own in the car. This is what they have http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444178 1045&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302032883&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023689&bmUID=1172743564593&itemNo=14&In=Dog&N=2032883&Ne=2

They are just a nylon padded box with a clip to attach to their harnesses. They also keep the car seats clean. Our dogs are Shih Tzus so are small enough for the seats.

Our 2 dogs get by with lots of love and kindness from the 3 humans they live with.

pisces is really spoilt, he's not one for treats so get lots of toys. he has numerous fishing rod type toys that are his favourite, mouse & ball toys, dangly toys, toys on springs & many more. he has a cat tree that reaches the cealing (our house has really high cealings too so its masive), he has a top of the range wicca basket for vet trips & the like. he has top priority over evry seat in the house, one of his favourite places to sleep is the very expensive shackelton rocking chair we have in the living room, its also my partners fave chair but i always make the OH move so the cat can sit down hehe! he also gets to sleep on the bed every night with me & dave.

its quite hard to spoil a turtle, you cant give them lots of food & treats like you can with cats & dogs because if they get fat there is no where for the fat to go what with the shell being ridged. i just try to make him as happy as posible by giving him a big tank with plenty of space & depth to swim in, warm water kept at constant temp, UV light with plenty of heat comming off it with a stable dry platform under neeth & constant water changes to keep it clean.

in the summer i do let him out on the garden while i'm there as the uv from the sun is better than artifishal. if i had a masive garden i would build him a summer pond so he could spend all his time out there (with the right coverage of course dont want him taken by preditors) & bring him in when its cold.

diamonte collars with jewelled tags.
1 has a t shirt, 1 has a hoodie, the old gal has a "wetherbeater"(horsey people know it) coat.
then they have their own room with net curtains and radiator for night times.

daily life involves a rather expensive Ikea leather sofa.

Dorrie has a cat bed, a scratching post that she never uses, a fuzzy play tube (ditto), 2 shoelaces, a ball of wool, and 2 stuffed mice (one that rattles) that she pulled the tails off within hours.

She also has my curtains (grrr), sleeps under my bed or on my pillow, climbs my bookcases, and is Queen of The Leather Chair in my study, which has little claw puncture marks all over the sides and top of it, where she perches.

oh yeah i forgot a bout pisces' play tube i bought him, one of those crinkle ones to try & stop him playing with the carier bags. he still prefurrrrrs the carier bags tho & normally gets the handle stuck round his neck & i have to resue him before he goes crazy.

i've also though about buying him one of those water fountins. dose anyone hear have one of those & does your cat use it. i dont want to be spending £30 on somat only for him to carry on drinking out of puddles.
