Sorry for the recent lack of posting. Some family changes and administrative changes have been taking place. The governor of Illinois recently changed the law regarding state taxes and for that reason Amazon.com is dismissing all their affiliates in Illinois. As of April 15, 2011 I will no longer be able to make money on this site through the purchase of products via Amazon. Keep checking back in regardless as I will still update the blog on products I am particularly loving or hating and perhaps the law will change and I will start blogging vigorously once more. Thanks!

I was contacted by a student at the Kellogg School of Management who requested that I pass on a link. He is developing a survey report for an entrepreneur who has designed a new type of dog leash that is designed to allow parents and children to share in the dog walking experience. They created a survey to gauge buyer receptivity to the product, and to assess the ways in which dog walking is a shared family activity. The product consists of a dog leash with a second handle half-way down that a child could hold unto and thus participate in walking the dog. If this is a product that may benefit your family (or if you get satisfaction from helping some students), please consider taking the 2 minute survey found by following the link below:

Each dog likes to sleep in a different position. Some like to sleep sprawled out on their sides and others like to curl up in a ball. Some like the privacy of a crate, others want to be right in the middle of family life.  If your dog is a leaner or a curled-up sleeper and likes to be where the excitement is, this corner dog bed is perfect. As a city girl, I’m all about saving space, so the idea of a corner bed really intrigues me. This particular model is nice because of the thickness of the bed and the presence of the bumper, making it great for resting a head on. At only $55, this bed is the cheapest of its quality by far–making it the best selling corner dog bed on Amazon. The 44″x64″x44″ corner bed is available in four cover colors. Completely machine washable!  Takes two weeks to ship.

Four paws!
