doggy thoughts FLIPS + FLOPS

Editor’s Note: These are simply musings from Flip-Flop, an exuberant & opinionated shaggy dog. They are not any sort of product endorsement or “dis” by this publication or any member of our editorial team. Just a bit about stuff she likes (Flips) and stuff she doesn’t (Flops)!

An Honest Bark

That is a total Flip to me, as I LOVE to bark & barking is, hounds-down, important for our sanity & it’s our way of talking.

Did you know that there are 25 billion chickens in the world? They are the most common bird species of all! And IF you happen to be a fan of chickens, you might like this fun & funny Chicken Harness! This gadget makes it easy to make your bird into a pet and walk them like a dog. Nice swag for chicken lovers…though I do wonder what birds think of this? Bet it probably ruffles a few feathers.

In the Cat House

If you’re looking for a prestigious house for your cat, look no further, as Poopy Cat (yes, that’s the company’s real name) has it covered! They’ve created cardboard cat houses designed to look like iconic architectural landmarks from around the world. So, if you’ve a feline with political ambitions, you can put them in the White House. If your cat is into romance, perhaps the Eiffel Tower? These are a real Flip, as I know how cats are (strangely) obsessed with boxes…and these designs are clever.

A Fake Bark

Actually, this is a bit of an oxymoron. There really isn’t such a thing, cause dogs are truly genuine. What you see is what you get with canines!

Not-Fun Pet Products

I’m really not sure about this one. But then…I’m not a cat, so what do I know? This toy, the Kitty Connection Mouse Pounce, is a sisal-topped cardboard box that has an automated mouse that pops up & down to tease your cat…with no chance of your cat ever catching it! I know that cats have great hunting instincts, but I think NEVER being able to catch that darn mouse would eventually make them crazy…not to mention what it could do to their self-esteem.

In the Dog House

I think this invention takes human innovation to an entirely new level of “crazy!” The Doggy Shouse Bath is a combination dog house & dog bath/ shower, hence the “Shouse.” The product description explains how to go from house to shower. “Simply lift the roof up like a car hood, prop it into place and fold up the dog house entry ramp after the dog is in the bath. A bucket or two of water is poured into the Shouse and is recirculated for the wash "cycle" of the pet." Sweet Jesus…what will peeps come up with next?!
