Pet Stuff Resale small dog snuggly things-PART 2

This is a child's sleeping bag made of the same parachute material as the jacket in the previous post. My small foster

dogs jockey for position the second this hits the floor! Folded up, it makes for wonderful burrowing.

Both of these girls will be available

after their terrible skin conditions improve, they have made rapid progress since I picked them up. The one on the left also has to be treated for heartworms and they do not need to be placed

together. Their working names are Cutie and Tootie.

Pet Stuff Resale tip for small dogs-snuggling material

This is Tootie-she and another chihuahua came into rescue with such terrible skin condition it will be months before they are available for adoption. Like true small dogs, they immediately took to burrowing and loved my jacket. If I'm on the floor playing with them, another chi will trying to climb in behind me thru the armholes. (I can't get a picture of that!)

I buy items like this with the parachute material in the summer months to use with the tiny dogs all year round. In keeping with recycling and saving money I like to share these tips
with pet owners.

Your small dog needs a Bark A Lounger!

One of the neatest things about what I do for a living is finding unusual items
that can be recycled into pet items.

Diva the chihuahua puppy is posing on what she thinks is her throne. A blue corderoy
child's recliner is perfect for napping but small enough that jumping down isn't
a risk. The chair is only 26 inches at the top and 21 inches wide. A nice feature is the material reaching between the chair itself and the foot rest; it keeps a dog from falling between the pieces. Safety is a big concern of mine when choosing pet items to resell.
The best part.....ta da...at Pet Stuff Resale it is only 21.00!

Diva is also looking for the perfect home. She is a whopping 3 lbs and wants an all adult home with a buddy dog. She was a stray turned into a Houston shelter and will
be spayed before going to her new home; I am her foster.
Getting her to remain still for a better picture would have required stapling
her paws to the arm of the lounger:)

I was wrong about the First Dog

I assumed the White House would be the site of a new dog as soon as they
move in and I'm happy to be corrected. In an interview it was revealed that
they are going to wait a while until they are settled in and that has been the plan all along. I wish more people would be that wise when getting a new pet.

As in all of my pets, Alfie is a rescue dog. Like many rescue dogs, his history is murky....He was only a year old so when he paid absolutely no attention to me and ran around like a one year old, it didn't click for about 3 weeks that he is deaf!
When he is hungry he barks nonstop until he is fed. I've tried that "Ignore him
so you aren't reinforcing the behavior" stuff-ha, he out barks my patience every time.
If I turn around and shake my finger at him, he does this little twirl, sits down
and proceeds to bark again. This is of course hilarious to everyone but me!

Alfie is a great "hook" for the Pet Stuff Resale booth where ever we set up, so he does earn his keep and he stays nicely in a carry pouch for a whole event.

I am frequently asked if he can bark since he can't hear. I have yet to find a diplomatic way of saying "there's nothing wrong with his throat, it's his ears!"

Alfie is pictured modeling in a small wire crate currently for sale at Pet Stuff Resale for 20.00. Alfie is 7 lbs and up to a 10 lb dog could fit easily into it.

Obama shouldn't be getting a dog yet.

This is an exciting time for the whole family but also very stressful. If you factor in moving, going to new job, new schools, holiday stress, worldwide scrutiny and the whole family dynamic changing, it's not fair to a dog to be thrown into the mix.
Unfortunately people rarely think of the pets interest when wanting to get a new one. I don't expect this situation to be any different. Those of us in rescue see this at Christmas all too often.

130 gal aquarium for sale at Pet Stuff Resale

This 18x24x72 tank is really heavy! I have a picture available which I can't download for some reason. It is featured on the front page of my website.The previous owner said it should be resealed if used for fish, but I've had about 5 inches in it for several days and it's holding fine. (For integrity purposes I tell everything I know about an item I have for sale.)
It also comes with 2 glass strips.
