Today is one of those Mondays. It started with rain, but morphed to sunshine. My overbooked schedule righted itself in a win-win fashion. The guest speaker in my class this morning left me feeling upbeat about myself, my students and the work I do, leading me to bounce off campus, delighted with the life I have.
Yeah, I know. I'm nauseating -- or fun to be around, depending on your perspective. And, while I've tossed a few blog post ideas around this morning, no one topic stuck, so today, I'm going with a list post that reflects where I am on this now-sunny Monday. If you're a long-time reader, few of these will come as a surprise -- and you might even have a few observations of your own to add in the comments (please do).
I love my job. Sure, I complain sometimes about the details but, big picture, I love working with young adults and daily, I meet young people who shatter the notion of a lazy, entitled younger generation.
I am an optimist. Most days, #1 fuels this.
I appreciate excellence and have little patience for people who don't do the work.
I love creating characters, whether for the stage or the page.
I live for a flexible work schedule. I've done the traditional work day, and this is much, much better, but I also work more hours now than when I did the typical work week.
Becoming a mom is the best thing that ever happened to me.
I have a love-hate relationship with technology. When it works, it's a fabulous tool, but I'm always not-so-secretly afraid something will go wrong and I will look foolish. (It's happened).
I love to learn new things. These days, you're more likely to find me reading (and writing) non-fiction than novels.
I am grateful beyond words for the life I have. Yes, bad things have happened and no, I haven't simply ignored them. But, I know that neither good nor bad will feel that way every moment of every day. I know what I'm good at and I'm willing to work hard. And, I have a husband whose job provides health insurance.
No matter where I am or where I live, I will always, always be a Jersey girl.
I'm right there with you on 1, 3, 5 through 10!

Being a successful professional wrestler takes more than having the right moves in the ring, and no one knows that better than the legendary Hulk Hogan. That's why the Kinect-powered Hulk Hogan's Main Event focuses as much on winning the crowd as it does winning the match.
Terry Gene Bollea didn't become one of the world's most iconic wrestlers by knowing how to do an Atomic Drop. He did it by becoming Hulk Hogan, a bombastic, charismatic, and generally larger-than-life personality capable of bending a crowd to his will whether a shining red and gold hero or a black-stubbled villain. The man knows how to put on a show. Hopefully he knows how to put on a game as well.
In Hulk Hogan's Main Event, developed by Panic Button for Majesco, the Impact Wrestling superstar takes players' custom characters under his meaty wing, guiding them on the path to stardom. He'll coach them on his signature poses as well as more than 30 wrestling combos using MIcrosoft's Kinect sensor to measure their movements. The more dynamic their motions, the more effective their performance. Once they feel the true power of Hulkamania coursing through their veins players are sure to dominate the game's nine increasingly lavish venues. It even supports two-player tag team matches, complete with virtual metal chairs and ladders, which certainly won't lead to anyone getting seriously hurt.
"Listen up, people! You will feel the power of Hulkamania when you step into this game," said Hulk Hogan. "Whether you are taking the damage or selling the pain, this game will let you unleash your inner wrestler as you hype up the crowd while putting the hurt on anyone that stands in your way!"
He's right! Too long have our inner wrestlers been leashed! Too long have our wrestling games delivered the sport without the spectacle! It's time to put on the hurt!
See? The guy is really good at that.
Hulk Hogan's Main Event is due out this fall from Majesco. Keep an eye out for more Hulkamania during E3 early next month.

You may think it would be challenging to find great activities to occupy your time in the middle of November in the “Windy City.” Chicago, however, is a booming place to visit any time of the year. There is a strong sense of community among citizens of the city, and the social scene is always warm.
Plan a weekend excursion, or a whole vacation, around all Chicago has to offer. Start your research today, and check out a brief summary, featuring some of the coolest things to do while visiting Chicago in November.
Before it gets too cold, get the motorcycle out for one last joy ride. Plan an outing to Navy Pier for the SOFA (sculpture objects functional art and design) event November 1st through the 4th.
If the weather permits, hop on your motorbike. The gathering is a perfect excuse to cruise down to Navy Pier before Winter is in full swing. You may even have room for a date.
Who knew, you can take your family to the zoo all year ‘round? Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo transforms its grounds into a luminescent wonder when the winter’s get cold, and the animals make their way inside for warmth.
The best part is that simply visiting to see the light display won’t cost you a dime. The Zoo has, however, planned several ticketed events for this year’s holiday calendar. Take the family to enjoy the art of ice carving, train rides, and most of all Santa!
A romantic date night or a fun family outing, it’s free to skate on the Millenium Park ice rink during the winter months. If you don’t have your own skates, you’ll have to pay a small fee to rent a pair, but it won’t set you back much.
On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, you can take advantage of free ice-skating lessons in the rink. Skating is available through the beginning of March, but call ahead if it is unseasonably warm.
The most famous shopping district in Chicago hosts a grand display for the kickoff to the holiday shopping season. The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival ends in a glorious two-hour tree-lighting spectacle, and the weekend is full of engaging activities.
Often referred to by locals as “ChiTaG,” the Chicago Toy and Game Fair is yet another reason to visit Navy Pier during November. Take the kids to see some of the coolest new toys and games coming to shelves in the near future, and enjoy a day out with the family.

In Beijing this week, John Key – drawing on his former career as an investment banker – staked out the basic deal he wanted from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Key had come to China for crucial “facetime” with Xi and Premier Li Keqiang. He wanted to make progress towards an upgrade of the 2008 China New Zealand free trade agreement.
There is a perception that New Zealand’s dairy exporters (read Fonterra) have been disadvantaged by more favourable terms in China’s recent FTA with Australia.
With the discussions stuck at officials’ level it was essential for Key to have “facetime” with Xi and Premier Li Keqiang to get some movement.
In an interview with the Weekend Herald, the Prime Minister shed some light on his talks with Xi.
“I said to him the AIIB [Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank] was really important to you guys – we were [the] first country to back you.
“I spoke to lots of other leaders to get support for you,” Key related.
Key said that was probably the “strongest we’ve ever been” in top-level bilateral talks.
The Prime Minister has played a confident – if safe – hand in his lengthy relationship with China’s senior leaders.
When it comes to international relations, Key’s greatest strength is his ability to forge personal connections with other leaders. Over eight years as Prime Minister he has got to know personally many political leaders in the Asia-Pacific region and earned the respect of China’s rulers for his political longevity.
But even before he set foot in Beijing on his sixth visit to China, the state-run media had warned Key not to raise the South China Sea if he wanted to make progress on trade.
News agency Xinhua claimed New Zealand had implicitly criticised China by stepping up its calls against militarisation and reclamations in the South China Sea. Key has not resiled from New Zealand’s position. But he has also been careful in his public comments while in China.
“The President talked a lot about the South China Sea,” Key related.
“Most of it was off-script,” he said.
Key said he reiterated New Zealand’s position. The President said that China had a long-term interest in a peaceful resolution because regional instability would not help its economic development programme.
New Zealand’s basic position is that China is embroiled in a territorial dispute. Key has not taken sides and has publicly said New Zealand wants to see the parties reach a peaceful resolution between themselves.
Irrespective of Xinhua’s warning, Key did make New Zealand’s position clear. Both sides also went on to talk trade.
Key believes that China will try to accommodate the proposal for an FTA upgrade. His pitch to Xi also focused on the “sheer politics” of it – even though Australia is not a huge dairy exporter and their primary focus was minerals and to a certain degree beef, everyone knew China had given a great deal to Australia on dairy.
It will not be plain sailing. Xi is worried about pressure from China’s 2 million dairy farmers.
Key had earlier met Premier Li.
Key said there was a change between the two meetings.
“Li started saying we need all this co-investment – I said we are already doing it,” he related to the Weekend Herald.
Two Chinese dairy companies, Yili and Yashili, were also getting all their milk from Fonterra.
The FTA safeguards (higher tariffs that kick in when volume threshholds are passed) are costing the NZ dairy industry more than $100 million annually. This is hurting at a time when dairy farmers are under pressure through the commodities slump.
Key said he told the President the New Zealand Government was not saying it wouldn’t embark on an FTA upgrade without doing more for the NZ dairy farmers, and, “we know you’ve got the politics of the 2 million farmers.
Key said New Zealand’s risk is that relative to Ireland and Holland, we get a smaller share.
Key said Xi also gave him an assurance that China was not going to be protectionist, making a blunt point that Chinese consumers want New Zealand’s products as they don’t trust local products’ food safety.
Key also reiterated that China chose NZ as the first OECD country to do an FTA with because it wanted to demonstrate to the rest of the world it could do it.
The reality is that China will not move on the FTA upgrade until the President gives a firm signal to the bureaucracy.
“The person who will make it move is Xi Jinping,” Key said. “Not just because he is the most powerful President since Mao. But because it’s their system,” he said.
“In the end if we don’t get there it certainly will not be for want of trying.
New Zealand will back China to join the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) “should it wish to do so”. That is the assurance John Key gave Chinese president Xi Jinping during a high-level meeting at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on Tuesday evening.
“I said to him [the President] if China wanted to join TPP we would support China,” Key told the Herald.
Key earlier used his speech at Tsinghua University to stake out a public position on TPP outlining that New Zealand had been in dialogue with China on the issue for some years.
“New Zealand wants TPP to expand its membership and would welcome and support China joining TPP in future should it wish to do so,” he told the students.
Key’s positioning was noted by the President in their subsequent talks.
“He thanked me for that,” Key said. “He said I have seen your public comments before and they are quite helpful.
China has invited New Zealand to take part in the G20 trade ministers meeting which will be held in Shanghai on July 9.
Key confirmed the invitation had been extended to Trade Minister Todd McClay to join the elite gathering.
China took over the G20 presidency in December 2015.
“Global trade plays a weakened role as an engine for economic growth as its growth loses steam. Therefore, G20 members have a strong will to strengthen trade and investment cooperation,” a Ministry of Commerce (MOC) spokesperson said earlier this year.
A G20 Trade and Investment Working Group was also established this year following a proposal from China.
The meetings of trade ministers and the working group will allow G20 members to hold in-depth talks on topics including trade and investment mechanisms, global trade expansion and multilateral trading system development.
Efforts will be made to let the G20 play a bigger role in global economic and trade governance, fighting trade protectionism and driving global trade back to strong growth, said Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang.
The two-day meeting will be held in advance of the G20 Hangzhou Summit on September 4 and 5.
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s own public comments have been relatively bland. But he did later hail “unprecedented co-operation” between the two nations.
The Chinese President does not give media interviews after these bilateral meetings. But a formal statement said China stands ready to work with New Zealand to seek further development of their comprehensive strategic partnership on the basis of mutual respect, equality and reciprocity.
Xi proposed that the two sides enhance mutual trust, boost economic co-operation, promote people-to-people exchanges, elevate law enforcement co-operation and increase military-to-military interactions.
From a business perspective, Xi commented that China hopes to build a long-term agricultural partnership with New Zealand, and Chinese companies look forward to participating in New Zealand infrastructure construction.
“The two sides can join our development strategies and work together to cultivate new growth points of co-operation in bio-medicine, energy-saving, environment protection and innovative industry,” said the President.
Xi also looked forward to closer co-operation with New Zealand in the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank and other multilateral mechanisms.

lowercased:
in beijing this week, john key – drawing on his former career as an investment banker – staked out the basic deal he wanted from chinese president xi jinping.
key had come to china for crucial “facetime” with xi and premier li keqiang. he wanted to make progress towards an upgrade of the 2008 china new zealand free trade agreement.
there is a perception that new zealand’s dairy exporters (read fonterra) have been disadvantaged by more favourable terms in china’s recent fta with australia.
with the discussions stuck at officials’ level it was essential for key to have “facetime” with xi and premier li keqiang to get some movement.
in an interview with the weekend herald, the prime minister shed some light on his talks with xi.
“i said to him the aiib [asian infrastructure investment bank] was really important to you guys – we were [the] first country to back you.
“i spoke to lots of other leaders to get support for you,” key related.
key said that was probably the “strongest we’ve ever been” in top-level bilateral talks.
the prime minister has played a confident – if safe – hand in his lengthy relationship with china’s senior leaders.
when it comes to international relations, key’s greatest strength is his ability to forge personal connections with other leaders. over eight years as prime minister he has got to know personally many political leaders in the asia-pacific region and earned the respect of china’s rulers for his political longevity.
but even before he set foot in beijing on his sixth visit to china, the state-run media had warned key not to raise the south china sea if he wanted to make progress on trade.
news agency xinhua claimed new zealand had implicitly criticised china by stepping up its calls against militarisation and reclamations in the south china sea. key has not resiled from new zealand’s position. but he has also been careful in his public comments while in china.
“the president talked a lot about the south china sea,” key related.
“most of it was off-script,” he said.
key said he reiterated new zealand’s position. the president said that china had a long-term interest in a peaceful resolution because regional instability would not help its economic development programme.
new zealand’s basic position is that china is embroiled in a territorial dispute. key has not taken sides and has publicly said new zealand wants to see the parties reach a peaceful resolution between themselves.
irrespective of xinhua’s warning, key did make new zealand’s position clear. both sides also went on to talk trade.
key believes that china will try to accommodate the proposal for an fta upgrade. his pitch to xi also focused on the “sheer politics” of it – even though australia is not a huge dairy exporter and their primary focus was minerals and to a certain degree beef, everyone knew china had given a great deal to australia on dairy.
it will not be plain sailing. xi is worried about pressure from china’s 2 million dairy farmers.
key had earlier met premier li.
key said there was a change between the two meetings.
“li started saying we need all this co-investment – i said we are already doing it,” he related to the weekend herald.
two chinese dairy companies, yili and yashili, were also getting all their milk from fonterra.
the fta safeguards (higher tariffs that kick in when volume threshholds are passed) are costing the nz dairy industry more than $100 million annually. this is hurting at a time when dairy farmers are under pressure through the commodities slump.
key said he told the president the new zealand government was not saying it wouldn’t embark on an fta upgrade without doing more for the nz dairy farmers, and, “we know you’ve got the politics of the 2 million farmers.
key said new zealand’s risk is that relative to ireland and holland, we get a smaller share.
key said xi also gave him an assurance that china was not going to be protectionist, making a blunt point that chinese consumers want new zealand’s products as they don’t trust local products’ food safety.
key also reiterated that china chose nz as the first oecd country to do an fta with because it wanted to demonstrate to the rest of the world it could do it.
the reality is that china will not move on the fta upgrade until the president gives a firm signal to the bureaucracy.
“the person who will make it move is xi jinping,” key said. “not just because he is the most powerful president since mao. but because it’s their system,” he said.
“in the end if we don’t get there it certainly will not be for want of trying.
new zealand will back china to join the trans pacific partnership (tpp) “should it wish to do so”. that is the assurance john key gave chinese president xi jinping during a high-level meeting at the diaoyutai state guesthouse in beijing on tuesday evening.
“i said to him [the president] if china wanted to join tpp we would support china,” key told the herald.
key earlier used his speech at tsinghua university to stake out a public position on tpp outlining that new zealand had been in dialogue with china on the issue for some years.
“new zealand wants tpp to expand its membership and would welcome and support china joining tpp in future should it wish to do so,” he told the students.

Fabulous setting, but is it as dangerous as they say?
Like anywhere in the world, if you go wandering on your own in a dangerous part at night, then of course. Everywhere is.
We loved the city. Beautiful, and certainly NEVER EVER felt that it was dangerous. We were wandering in the square with tonnes of people and logically, did not make ourselves a target for pick-pockets.
99.999% of the time, there is no danger. Tourist often bring it on themselves, make themselves a target, by not educating themselves.

I was also very pleased when Roz Kidman Cox (the Editor and Author) passed all the proofs for the images on the first pass and did not require any adjustments or further proofs. It is always my aim to get the separations right the first time, helped by my investments in colour management and an attitude of doing the right thing for the image, regardless of the time involved. This extra effort at Copyrightimage allowed the client to lower reproofing costs and improved the quality of the printed result.
Thanks also go to the books designer Bobby Birchall (bobby and co design) who makes great layouts to work to and makes the complex process of managing images easy.
Last thanks goes to Lynn Millhouse the Production Manager at the NHM for putting the team together and for being prepared to go the extra mile in producing something worthwhile and relevant.

An Italian friend heard that I liked Primo Levi, and asked me, had I read any works by Primo’s cousin, Carlo Levi? I hadn’t? Mama mia, it’s really worth the read! So when I finally found one of Carlo Levi’s books, Christ stopped at Eboli, on the shelf of a second-hand bookshop, I didn’t hesitate.
The truth is that there’s no family relationship between Primo and Carlo Levi, apart from the fairly likely descendance from the same biblical tribe.
The third in a series of blog entries in which my grandfather, Arieh Rabani (Lova Rabinovitch), tells his adventures walking from the Soviet Union to Israel (1927-1929). You'll find the first part here. In this part, Lova crosses the border into Turkey, and immediately goes to the local police to declare himself, so as to avoid being accused of spying.
A German teenager once told me at a picnic that, ever since “what happened during the war”, it would be considered indecent to hang a German flag out in front of your house in Germany. François Hollande tried to encourage this sort of in-your-face patriotism in France after the terrorist attacks on November 13th, 2015, asking the French to hang a red-white-and-blue flag out their window in homage to the victims. But I too am allergic to flag-waving, and I'm relieved that almost nobody in our neighborhood followed his advice. I can understand loving a culture, a language, a landscape, the music, food or architecture of a place. But to me a flag represents none of the above - it represents a state and a governing structure: necessary perhaps as protectors of your person and property and as providers of public services, but too often responsible for a host of evil acts as well. So, in honour of the star spangled 4th of July, I’ll spangle my web page with notes and letters from another one of my singable English translations of the great French singer-songwriter, Georges Brassens: La Mauvaise Réputation (literally “the bad reputation”), which I translated as The Lousy Reputation. It’s a cheery hymn to non-conformity. I took some liberty in replacing the 14th of July (Bastille Day, or the French National Holiday) with the 4th of July (American Independence Day), but otherwise I managed to stick pretty close to the original.

I have Aspire as my main cnc cutting program, but I did this with just 2-D cutting. I had my son draw a cartoon dinosaur image, then I traced it and built the other interlocking parts in in a CAD program and cut it out. This was made for a special little guy who wanted a dinosaur chicken coop.
That's cool! great job. The steel part looks really nice. Everybody needs a chicken to talk to.

Attorney; Assistant Professor at University of New Hampshire; Poet; Editor, Best American Experimental Writing; Editor, Metamodern Studies.
Poets Amaranth Borsuk and Andy Fitch recently released a fantastic collaborative book entitled As We Know. Published by Subito Press and distributed by Small Press Distribution, As We Know is a masterpiece of cross-genre exploration by two artists at the top of their game -- and already well-known for challenging generic boundaries. A two-page excerpt from As We Know also found its way into the inaugural edition of Best American Experimental Writing, where its striking use of the page (its backdrop is a single page from a day planner) and erasure techniques caused it to stand out even among the varied and often visually dramatic experiments of that publication.
Recently I had a chance to chat with the authors about the project and its associated reading tour, so I've included below two videos of the work in performance, an artist's statement released with the book, and bios for both artists. I can't recommend As We Know enough to anyone interested in writing across genres, or sufficiently praise these two literary artists for the courageously innovative work they do on that score.
One note regarding the videos: I'd recommend watching each one twice, once with subtitles off and once with them on (you can turn subtitles on using the "cc" button at the bottom of the YouTube player). Getting both experiences in quick succession only enhances what's already an uncommonly striking visual and aural performance.
As We Know attempts to intervene into the gendered history of editorial intervention as it has played out in the famous cases of figures such as Dorothy Wordsworth and Emily Dickinson.
Rather than eliding tensions around ownership and authorship implicit in much collaborative work, this book foregrounds such tensions by engaging in erasure poetics, which by nature involves the active silencing of an established or canonical text. Yet while erasure often pits a 'subversive' contemporary author against his/her well-known predecessor, Borsuk and Fitch have chosen to reposition erasure at the origins of (rather than in response to) a published work. Here, Borsuk has taken Fitch's private summer diary and reshaped 60 passages (formatted as daily agenda entries) into a poetic confessional that inserts her own voice into the narrative. Struck-through and whited-out text play with and against one another on the page, sometimes appearing to represent a single voice and at other times competing voices. This struggle plays out through a surreal travelogue that progresses from New York, to the speaker's unspecified childhood 'home,' to Berlin.
Embracing Roland Barthes' call for a 'corrected banality,' the resulting manuscript presents the most unmediated-seeming idiom -- the diurnal, journalistic record -- as itself the consequence of both methodical and whimsical extraction. Nonfiction subjectivity emerges as the product of, not just the source for, erasure poetics. As in Barthes' own elided memoirs, the resulting work calls into question exactly who we are and what we know.
Amaranth Borsuk is the author of Handiwork (Slope Editions, 2012), and, with Brad Bouse, Between Page and Screen (Siglio Press, 2012). Abra, a collaboration with Kate Durbin forthcoming from 1913 Press, recently received an NEA-sponsored Expanded Artists' Books grant from the Center for Book and Paper Arts at Columbia College Chicago and will be issued in 2014 as an artist's book and iPad app created by Ian Hatcher. Amaranth teaches in the MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics at The University of Washington, Bothell.
Andy Fitch is most recently the author of Sixty Morning Walks and Sixty Morning Talks, both published by Ugly Duckling Presse. With Cristiana Baik, he is currently assembling the Letter Machine Book of Interviews. He also has a collaborative book forthcoming from 1913 Press. He edits Essay Press and teaches in the University of Wyoming's MFA program.

Since you all were so helpful with my vanadinite, I was hoping you might help me identify this crystal. I'm interested in the tiny blue speck the size of a grain of rice. I found it on the side of a mountain in Montana near Bozeman a bunch of years back. It was Ina large chunk of what I assumed to be granite. I chipped out the little piece you see here with the aid on another large rock and some significant luck. The blue crystal is somewhat faceted. I've always held out hope that I had found a Montana sapphire, but I was never sure. Since it's so tiny, I know it isn't worth anything, but I thought it was beautiful nonetheless. any ideas? Thanks!
Definitely not sapphire, looks like a bit of mineral stain in the quartz (not sure what it is). Sapphires are going to be further north and northwest, up past Anaconda, by Philipsburg. Here's an example of rough sapphires from the area.
Thanks for that. This crystal is a much brighter blue than what's in your link. I could see how you might think that the quartz is stained with my lousy picture. The blue piece seems to be its own crystal, and "separate" from the quartz, if that description makes any sense to you. The quartz is also very milky, and the blue crystal is actually kind of clear, although it is quite difficult to see.
I live in Bozeman, and have buckets of rocks I've picked up. Do what I do: get your rock hammer and bust that sucker out of there; then you'll really be able to see the structure, cleavage, etc.
A quick read on the Internet tells me that the blue inclusion could be anything from copper sulfate to tourmaline to magnesio-riebeckite. I'm too amateur in my knowledge to take it beyond that.
I checked out some images of what you suggested, and the closest in color is the copper sulfate. I'd take your advice and bust it out, but saying it's the size of a grain of rice is being generous. More like half a grain. At least in its current state I can display it. While it is worthless, it is nice to look at, and more importantly, I found it. Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it.
The area, especially closer to Butte is well-known for its copper deposits.
I've found so many cool things up in the nearby mountains, and I know they're not worth anything, but as you said, I found it! and that makes it cool.

Our canine companions are our best friends. They love us unconditionally. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you might be thinking about getting a little something for your four legged friend. Doggie Couture Shop has many inexpensive gifts that are perfect for expressing your love.
If you live in a cold climate as I do, might I recommend that you give your dog the gift of warmth this Valentine’s Day? A dog pullover makes a great gift for dogs on the go! Super cozy, lightweight and warm the “Heart Buttons and Bows Dog Pullover” will have her looking sweet, while fighting off the harsh elements of old man winter.
If your dog won’t tolerate being dressed, then perhaps staying inside and snuggling up in her new, warm and cozy dog bed might be just the thing. The “Hearts of Love Pink Fleece Pillow Bed” is so fitting for Valentine’s Day.
Doggie gift baskets are also perfect for your dog on Valentine’s Day. You can make your own basket for under $30.00 with the following products from Doggie Couture Shop.
Simple things like a new dog toy also make for a great gift. For Valentine’s Day I sent my son’s dog a crochet heart that I found on Doggie Couture Shop. It is handmade with closely-interlaced cotton thread, and comes with a built-in squeaker that will provide Tess with hours of audio-enhanced fun. The toy will also improve her dental health by removing deposits of calculus from her teeth. Measuring at just 3.5 inches across, it was an inexpensive gift to mail.
While most of these gifts I suggested are practical and affordable — for the owner that really wants to wow their pooch, Doggie Couture Shop has a aplenty of extravagant gift options.
Why not award your dog with a heart shape box of cookies for just $25.00. For $44.00, you can get her a bottle of Emma Pet Fragrance for Her. This exotic fragrance is said to make her more appealing to friends and family. We all know that diamonds are a dog’s real best friend. A Small Snakeskin Diamond Collar in Lavender will only set you back $3,000.00. You could also get your pet that dream house she’s been waiting for. The Beverly Hills Mansion Designer Dog House costs $2,400.00.
For those dog owners who don’t have the money to spoil their pets, no worries. Your dog won’t feel slighted if they don’t get a special treat. All they need is your love. If you have yet to meet your four legged companion- now might be a good time to adopt.
Doggie Couture Shop is a family owned upscale dog boutique providing you and your beloved fur-baby, the best customer service and the ultimate in dog fashion and accessories.
These are some really great suggestions here. Have a nice weekend!
