Our dogs give us unconditional love, affection, joy and sometimes surprises on the carpet (why never the floor I ask???).  So I say, let’s give them and us some great products and services to make our lives more organized and fun!

It’s really kinda crazy how much is out there for pets these days. I’ve rounded up some of my faves that are certain to make your life as a pet owner simpler, easier and definitely more organized. WOOF, WOOF!!!

My sister uses the Gulpy for her golden retriever Sadie, and when I saw it in action, I knew I simply had to share this great solution for water on the go.  No need to transfer water to a separate bowl, this all in one container is perfection in a bottle.

While we’re on the subject of travel containers, these Harry and Barker fold up dog bowls will make feeding your pooch easy peasy when away from home.

I found that the best way to keep kibble fresh and easy to access is by transferring it to a dog food storage container.

Like kids, dogs have toys too and aren’t always so good about putting them away (HA!). A nice looking basket is the perfect home for dog toys and bones.

Ever wonder what your dog is doing when you’re not home? Wonder no longer with the wifi pet camera Petcube. Not only can you see if Fido is chewing on your Jimmy Choo’s or simply binge-watching Animal Planet. With the Petcube you can also share photos and videos of your furry children taken with the Petcube camera or watch, talk and play laser games with your pet through thePetcube mobile application. Probably a bit overkill for most of us, but hey, more options is always better, right?

What to do with our pets when we travel is always a conundrum. I’m a big fan of having a dog sitter come and stay at the house. The dog doesn’t stress out and you also have someone watching and taking care of your home. Of course you need to feel comfortable with whomever you entrust to stay at your home. Because there is an Internet solution for everything these days, the website doggie vacay will help you find a dog sitter in your area. I’ve not actually perused their site in detail, so you’ll have to tell me if it’s really up to snuff or not.

Last, but certainly not least, our dogs must also be fashionable, and while I’m certainly NOT a fan of dressing one’s dog in clothes, I firmly believe in cute dog collars, frequently rotated (they do get dirty after all). Tell me this gingham collar is not perfect for summer!! I think I may have J Crew blue gingham shirt that matches perfectly…………

Sadly, my beloved Montana is now in doggie heaven and I miss her terribly. This post is dedicated to her and all the dogs we love and consider family.

Now, go HUG your dog for me………
