One last video to take you out for this Pawesome week. TGIF!

There are just so many issues that surround a litter box. If I didn’t love cats as much as I do I don’t think I would put up with it. First there’s the fact that no one makes a decent looking litter box (that doesn’t cost a golden turd that is). Then there’s the whole shit smell that comes with every bowel movement, which you have to manually move, mind you, from box to trash. And finally, if that weren’t enough, you get to step on loose litter that’s been tracked around the house. Major grodes.

Gregory Han, Unplggd managing editor and brother of our very own Sarah Han, tests rad gadgets on the regular. Recently he was asked to test out Dyson’s DC31 Animal and found it to be a pretty essential tool when owning furry and pooping pets. Check out the full review on Unplggd.

I was surfing the Webs for interesting pet tumblrs and came across Pets with Casts, a humorous tumblr that documents cute animals (not just pets) wrapped in bandages with commentary about each cast-wearer. Of course I’m not a fan of animals being hurt, but no animals were injured in the making of this tumblr, so I’m OK with endorsing Pets with Casts.

It seems like a simple enough request. If it’s hot out, or even warm for that matter, do not leave your dog (or any animal or baby!) waiting in the car. Cars get hot very quickly, even if you have the windows cracked. You know they do, because at some point in your life you’ve jumped into your toasty car and burned your skin on your seat belt, steering wheel, and seat back. I know you have…

Unfortunately, no matter how many times this warning has been told to people, dog owners still leave their pups in the car. Heck, even the CEO of the Richmond, Va. SPCA made the mistake! She says she didn’t know her husband put their 16-year-old blind and deaf dog in the car while she was getting ready. The dog died after spending four hours in the overheating vehicle. Since it seems like just about anyone can make this tragic mistake, MyDogIsCool.com has designed a series of printable flyers and posters that you can print at home and then place under people’s windshields (or post up at local businesses to remind customers not to leave their dogs in the car). I’m going to print out a few and make sure I always carry some in my bag and in my own car.
