Whoops, a little late for Earth Day, but the message is appropriate for everyday, anyway. Thanks Daily Puglet for the reminder!

LiveScience wrote about a new report that says "Dogs and cats are a lurking household danger… The pet
trips ” estimated at more than 80,000 a year ” occurred while people
were chasing
after them, stepping over them, breaking up a Fido fight, and other
scenarios." The study reports that dogs are 7.5 more likely than cats to cause injuries related to fall, because of their size and strength.

Lately I've been obsessed with finding the perfect, adorable pet dish. Not like I need to spend anymore money, especially on food bowls for my r-tards, but it's hard not curb that want to shop when I see adorableness like the dishes above.

Wetnoz, maker of unique pet bowls and toys, not only dreamed up a cute dish but designed it to be ergonomic for both your dog (or cat) and you. "Our
design team has spent countless hours observing pet dining habits and
studying the anatomical differences between the species and individual
breeds," Wetnoz writes. "Our latest innovation is the uniquely shaped Zen dish, which
conforms ergonomically to a dog`s mouth and can also provide relief to
cats with hyper-sensitive whiskers. Additional features include a thumb
hole for easy gripping." 

I love the thumb hole. Rather than using a scooper, you could scoop dry kibble directly into the bowl with the bowl! Plus the little hole is just small enough that it could be used as a water dish for kitties like Pookie who are more interested in pawing water than lapping it up.
