This House LOVES the Gentle Barn
Meet Stanley. Stanley is just one among many adorable residents of the Gentle Barn. If you haven't heard of them, please visit their website. I guarantee the stories will knock your socks off! I can only hope and pray that I am one day fortunate enough to impact the lives of even a fraction of the animals the Gentle Barn has!
We are sponsoring Stanley for just $10/month! I don't drink Starbucks, but if I did, I would only have to give up 2, yes, only TWO trips per month. I had resolved anyway to give up soft drinks, so Stanley gets to be the benefactor of that. (Also, I told B this was a more than sufficient Valentine's Day gift for me). I challenge all of my followers, readers, visitors, whatever to find something about which you are passionate and vow to make a difference somehow in 2011!
"To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man." - Mahatma Gandhi

PawSafe sale at PETCO!
One of my New Year's Resolutions was to increase readership on my blog. One plan of attack is to include at least one product plug weekly. I know I love getting advice from fellow animal lovers about products that make them or their pets keep going back for more. Coincidentally, I had to pick up more chow at Petco last night and was immediately reminded of one of my favorites.
I cannot say enough good things about the PawSafe cleaning products. I have been using them for quite awhile now. I first saw them at Petco, which is where I usually buy it. But I've also seen it at Harris Teeter. Usually, each bottle runs anywhere from $4 to $6 (depending on sales, coupons, etc). Petco has it on sale this week for 99 CENTS!! Naturally, I stocked up! It's rare that I purchase anything not on sale and/or without a coupon anyway, but pet safe cleaning products are something on which I refuse to skimp. I was always hesitant to wash their bowls, toys, my floors, counters, etc with anything that had the potential to harm my furbabies in the event I didn't rinse well enough or missed wiping up some over-spray somewhere. Also, B has a habit of leaving the toilet seat up and Nugget likes to visit the alternative water bowl. So PetSafe brand cleaners are my products of choice because not only do they smell great and come in different colors so I can quickly grab the one I'm looking for, they also actually work. And really, it has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. That's 2 paws up in Dog Speak... just sayin'! (And I don't have kids, but it's also recommended for use on their stuff!)
