Doggy Bowls

M is for Money has a cute story about a freak accident that broke her pup's food dish. Go here to read the tale. Now that I am more than half way through my morning cup of coffee my brain started thinking about the various style dog bowls.

When I first got my fur baby I used a cereal bowl. Then after a trip to Ikea it changed to two bright green plastic bowls that I picked up for .39/each. They are the perfect size for her and hold just the right amount of food. I also don't worry about what would happen if they break because they were not expensive to begin with at all. Now, they are are not the cutest things on earth. There are a wide assortments of ways you can use a food dish to feed your pet, cereal bowls, gourmet style pet dishes, plastic, metal, ziploc containers, etc. Find one that works best for you and your pet just like M is for Money has done and you'll both be happy about your purchase.

Getting back into the groove

Walgreens has two great deals right now. The first goes through today only. Get a free 8x10 collage with the code FUNDAY. The second is that they released a $5.00 off any 25.00 purchase coupon that is good through Saturday! You can grab it off their website here.

Apologies for not posting recently. I've been busy working on a project for a friend revolving around her wedding pictures. Short story, they were not what she wanted. My friend Photoshop and I are working to make them what she wants. It's been a very time consuming project because I'm not anywhere near an expert. Now that I am finishing up the project I am slowly re-emerging into the daylight.

Target still has the $1.00 Purina One Coupon available on their website here. The smallest bag I could find at my stores was 10.99. I think I'll wait to see if it goes on sale or use it at Publix.

I did have to laugh at this. Mostly, because my dog would love it. Actually, I'm not sure if she would ever leave it.

When the fur baby is sick...

I like to reference my dog as my fur baby. After all I frequently show pictures of her and talk about her achievements(she caught the dog treat in the AIR and ate it in 2 seconds!). This morning I woke up to less than pleasant surprises from her. Piles on the carpet that proved she was feeling less than stellar. Then while blow drying my hair I saw her leave another pile on the comforter. The fur baby is not feeling stellar. Something is not agreeing with her little doggy system and there is nothing more gross than dog puke. I feel like I should bring in a team of scientists to identify what she was eating.
My hypothesis is that the recent dog food we got is not agreeing with her or it's the new dentastix. Both are newer to her system and will be cut out of her diet. If that doesn't work, we are going to the vet. Unplanned vet visits are not pleasant for either one of us.

Over at Moneyapolis, she recently had a post from MSN talking about the cost of pet ownership in a time of hardship. I found it interesting how this article focused on how a pet may cost upwards of 10,000 over their life span. This, of course, is just an average based upon a survey in which people responded. If you asked me to guesstimate how much I spend on the fur baby I would have no idea. Here is what I spent just yesterday on the fur baby.

Target
2 boxes of Iams @ 1.18=2.36
2 bags of dentabones @ 1.44, used b1/g1 coupon=1.44
Total=3.80

Publix
Beneful 4lbs bags b1/g1@ 5.49 used 1.00(2)=3.49 for 8lbs of dog food.
Grand Total 7.29

I spent more on tipping my hairdresser earlier that day then I did on the fur baby. Also, if I had to cut back on spending dog treats much to her dismay would be the first to get the axe unless I could them for free like at Kmart this week.

Cheap Dog Treats around Town

If your Kmart is doing double coupons this week you can get a great deal on Hartz Crunch'n'Clean dog treats. There was/is a 2.00 printable, I'm not sure if it's still available because I haven't been able to get it to print due to printer compatibility issues. If you already snagged it, then it will double up to 4.00 getting you free dog treats. Then you will also receive a catalina(coupon) for a free box of Milk Bone dog treats!

Target has some great dog treat clearance going on right now as well. I bought two boxes of Iams Healthy Weight Dog Biscuits for 1.18 a box! Then they have Pedigree dentabones(similar to the stix but thicker and less in a pack) for 1.44 a bag. I bought two and used the buy/get one coupon.

CVS has marrowbones for 1.99. Use the 1.00 off coupon (exp 8/23/09) and use the buy/get one coupon to get two bags for .99!

Publix will have Beggin Strips buy/get one free starting today or tomorrow(depending on your ad's start date mine is tomorrow). I'm pretty excited about this one as I have four coupons! Yippie!

A great dog food deal at Target

Go to Hip2Save for how you can score inexpensive to free dog food at Target. While you are over there check out this post as well on how to get cheap dog biscuits. I wish my Kmart was doubling coupons, although at 1.79 plus the Milk Bone catalina it could be very well worth a trip anyway!
