A 10 ounce, tiniest feed or water bowl which easily attaches to a wire or plastic cage without using tools.  Simply bolt on the ring to the kennel cage and place the bowl in the top of the ring.  Food and water spills are greatly decreased and this set looks good being stainless steel from the ring to the bowl.  Place it inside the wire cage we sell for fewer spills in the house or car.  Sold only in pairs.  Larger sizes are available if you special order. BoltOns10oz $18.00 for TWO 10 ounce Bolt Ons	Our 4 pound Zoe poses with the 10 ounce stainless steel bolt on to give you an idea of the bowls' size which measures 4 1/2" diameter.
	This is one NICE looking kennel.  It's the smallest wee could get for our tiny breed dogs, and it still looks attractive.  22 x 13 x 16", it still has plenty of room to install our tiny bolt on bowls with the adult dog inside.  Having a choice of two doors makes this kennel adaptable to changing environments and makes the kennel "higher end". Don't let our poor photos dissuade you from this kennel; it's quite nice.  And if your dog eats inside the cage with the door shut, you can take him outside twenty minutes after he eats so you "catch him" when he is ready to potty.  # K2Dr   $60.00

	Stacy from Pittsburgh called me, having found a poo pad holder for her new Pomeranian.  She was thrilled.  Several phone calls and many months later, she's just as thrilled.  Following her encouragement, I decided that a poo pad holder HAD to be included on this web page so when I found one, I was extatic!   I found a "frame" version as well as a "frame with backing" version!  I know any number of people who want to keep their floors crystal CLEAN of accidents so they'd prefer the pricier frame with the backing.  Today's start-up inventory mandated the cheaper version.   If you want the backing version, let me know so I can special order it.   Our frames come with a bag of 30 poo pads. Poo Pad Holder Frame and 30 Poo Pads: (photographed above) # PooPHoldFr    $36.00       Poo Pad Holder Frame with Backing and 30 Poo Pads: # PooPHoldBa    $46.00
Reusable, Washable Poo Pad 17 x 17, these poo pads are washable in the laundry, for us frugal-minded practicists.  The small pad reportedly holds three cups of liquids, has a non-slip backing, is waterproof, is of the same material used in healthcare facilities and keeps all those poo pads out of the landfills. 8/20 quilted poly/cotton on the top layer, poly/rayon soaker in the middle with PVC/Nylon on the backing. Machine wash warm with mild bleach.  Dry warm.  Obviously, do not use fabric softener as it will hinder absorbtion.  # PooPReSm   2 for $35.00 23" x 26" can be special ordered.
	Poo pick-ups: Try going for a walk with your dog and what does she do?  She leaves a present on the ground.  Now you have to pick up that THING!  Thanks for the present, Honey! If it were me, I'd just put a small, lavendar-smelling bag in my pocket and start the walk.  It's cheap.  It's done.  No frills.   I can pick up the goods, wrap the bag around so I don't smell it, and invert it and wrap it again, and then invert and wrap it a third time....no spills and no smells, other than the lavendar.  Then I'd throw that thing as fast as I could! For those who like the show of the convenient, cute little bag clipped to the cute little jeans belt loop, here are a couple of poo bag holders from which may choose.  For those of us who prefer to toss the thing and forget it ever happened, there are lavendar-smelling bags. # PooPUpClipNCombo (Navy)      $12.00 # PooPUpClipRCombo (Red)       $12.00       Combo offers both the cylinder-shaped Poo Pick Up container with metal belt-clip and 3 (usually black) refill bags.        Call for info on clip-on colors and bag colors.       Red or Navy cylinder-shaped polyester bag with velcro and metal clip # PooPUpClipBonBlueCombo    $10.00      Blue clip-on plastic container comes with 20 baby/blue/dark blue striped bags, combined with the matching three-pack of 20 (each) bags.  Has a plastic clip.  (80 bags total) # PooPUpClipBonPinkCombo    $10.00     Pink clip-on plastic container comes with 20 baby pink hearts on fuschia bags, combined with the matching three-pack of 20 (each) bags.  Has a plastic clip.

	Nail and Hair Information           (and Fleas): There are those lovely, pricey, blue-handled nail clippers and hair brushes which are more costly.  Then there are those spring-loaded, ultra-cheap nail clippers and hair brushes which come apart every other use.  And nail clippers come with various methods to keep you from clipping too much of the nail off, but they fail to mention "operator error" for those of us who just don't have the nail clipping know-how.  Nail clipping is fast and easy once you have someone show you how but I wouldn't clip them until someone shows you how to "see" the quick.  There is a blood vein which goes up the center of the dogs' nail which you don't want to clip.  If you have a vet show you how to spot that vein, you can clip close to it without clipping the vein.  Usually.  But even experienced groomers sometimes clip the "quick" causing the nail to bleed and that's why we keep some sort of styptic powder around.  But most people don't think of styptic powder when they're purchasing the puppy's first six months of toys and supplies..  There aren't enough details herein to sufficiently know how to cut the toenails so ask your vet, and keep a container of styptic powder around just in case.  The powder stings like alcohol on a paper cut.  Some dogs will yip and some will act like it's nothing but stopping the blood is imperative.  And when you clipped the quick, you'll be mighty glad you had the styptic powder in the junk drawer.  Now I use ultra cheap nail clippers.  But I recently purchased an ultra cheap nail clippers only to have the spring pop several times.  That's when I realized that they were cheaply made.  And that's money wasted.  When I find a cheap nail clipper I think has the quality to last onger, I'll offer it here.  Until then, wee'll offer the popular blue-handled clippers everybody likes so much! I've included a flea comb in my grooming kit because even the best managed homes occasionally have a flea issue and the worst managed yards frequently have an over-population exploding into the inside of the house.  I'm told the combs don't go through the Pom coats very well, but they'll do better than not!  One loose flea in your living room.  Just one!   And you could have 1,000 hatched babies within the hour, with NO exaggeration.  So I tell people...if you see one flea on your dog, bathe them in DAWN, allowing the Dawn to sit on the dog for five minutes, then wash them down the drain and brush the dog.  Some sources say the fleas are dead while others say most are dead.  Regardless, not moving fleas mean I can bathe my dog while flushing the comatose fleas down the drain.  AND.  I have had NO meaningful success with flea control other than using Frontline drops on the dog with "Seven" on the yard three times a year.  West Virginia hillsides have six potential months of fleas with four potential flea-free months.  Though wee are organic lovers, three yard treatments with WalMart's "Seven" are required.  Nothing else, and I mean nothing else has come reasonably close to control fleas other than Frontline drops and Ovitrol.    Frontline spray is not the same formulation as Frontline drops; that's why I say, nothing else comes close to Frontline drops. Remember that one bite from a flea can give your dogs worms. Each dog needs a yearly vet check to test for worms and receive updated vaccinations. You may take a mid-year stool sample (leaving your dog at home) to your vets' office with an expected worm test cost around $10.00. A flea biting a Frontline dropped dog or cat will be dead within days, though you still need to check for worms.  A few extra precautions need to be made for the tiniest of dogs.  Flea and worm control is imperative for them. # Ergo Kit   $30.00    Ergonomic Slicker fur brush for small dogs, Ergonomic Nail Clippers, Styptic Powder and Flea Comb. # ErgoSmSl   $10.00 Ergonomic Small Slicker Brush for small dogs # ErgoNail   $13.00 Ergonomic Toenail Clippers # Styptic Pow   $10.00 Styptic Powder (to clot blood flowing from a toenail quick cut)
Frontline Flea Drops       or  Frontline Flea and Tick Drops Frontline costs just about the same whether you purchase it locally or through us.  We only make a couple of dollars profit from selling it so I'll probably only sell a couple to people who drop by to pick up a puppy and want the same day flea coverage.  As I've stated before, Frontline drops and a flea treatment for the yard are the only two products I've found which actually work, and if there's ANY chance of fleas, I bathe the dog in Dawn and then pull out the drops and apply them.  No better flea control have I found. Frontline Top Spot is for flea control. Frontline Plus is for flea and tick control. Make SURE of your dogs' weight so you don't overdose.  Make sure of the type of flea / tick treatment.  Overdosing could kill the dog. # FroT3MoTo22   $43.00 3 Month Frontline Top Spot,     for dogs up to 22 pounds At this point, wee do not sell flea and tick medication.  Other size packages might be available upon request.

Purchaser assumes all responsibility for any toxicity once this package leaves our home.  Keep this package away from dogs or people who might chew or squish or... otherwise present a toxicity or morbidity danger.

NuVet Vitamins Nothing has improved the health of any of our dogs like NuVet Vitamins.  Holostic vitamins processed to take the fullest advantage of nutrients available.  If the leaves of a plant are better than the stem, then NuVet uses the leaves.  If a vitamin loses its potency from water processing, then NuVet will process it in a different way to take full advantage of its' composition. Other vitamins come in a sweet paste but only have a few ingredients, the most commonly purchased vitamin paste has only twelve.  NuVet has any number of vitamins, minerals and herbs..."alfalfa, alpha amylase, amino acids, beta carotene, blue green algae, brewers yeast, cats claw/una de gato, chicken liver, copper, evening primrose oil, iron, L methionine, magnesium, manganese, oyster shell, papain, phosphorus, pine bark, potassium, selenium, shark cartilage, taurine, vitamin A, Vit B Complex, Vit B1/Thiamine, Vit B2/Riboflavin, Vit B3/Niacin, Vit B5/Pantothenic Acid, Vit B6/Pyridoxine, Vit B12, Vit C, Vit E, Whey protein and Zinc".  Human Grade, natural ingredients, never heat-processed, safe for all ages and pregnant animals, and claimed to help with "scratching, itching, hot spots, allergies, arthritis, premature aging, low energy levels, cataracts, digestive problems, heart disease and tumors". Nothing has strengthened our dogs as well as NuVet.  I've actually felt and seen the progress from the (human) holistic vitamins I take and I have seen NuVet's holistic benefits in my own dogs.  If I had to choose between fluffy toys or vitamins, I'd definately choose the vitamins!

Additional sizes may be special ordered though prices may differ. You may special order a Replacement harness for $12 or a Replacmeent Lead are $10. Please note that the "honking sound" so typically found in toy breeds is usually due to an esophagus collapsing.  A harness can eliminate the stress applied to the esophagus, thereby greatly decreasing and possibly eliminating the collapsing.  Some dogs have this collapsed esophagus, some do not.  Some dogs will receive relief with a harness and some will not.  Your vet should advise you if you have questions.

Heart Charm     and    Bone Charm These are lovely and charming, just the type of collars I would choose for my own dog.  Exquisite, tasteful and charming but you can't tell from my photos.  Each heart or bone charm is grommeted through the faux leather onto a durable nylon.  It looks secure to me!  I expected a dozen charms on the lead which were disappointedly omitted from the photo shown to me when I ordered them.  So I photo'ed a more-honest photo for you than what I had been given, leaving you with a horrible but honest view of the product.  But these are still quite exquisite and quite nice.  Heart Charm Collar, 6"-8"   # 68CollCharmHrt   Heart Charm Collar, 8"-11"   # 811CollCharmHrt Heart Charm Lead, 6'   # 6LeadCharmHrt        and Bone Charm Collar, 6"-8"   # 68CollCharmBon Bone Charm Collar, 8"-11"  # 811CollCharmBon Bone Charm Lead, 6'   # 6LeadCharmBon Sold as a Collar / Lead Combo $29.00 Unless Special Ordered.

NOT FOR CHIHUAHUAS.       NOT FOR POMERANIANS.	THIS HEAD COLLAR IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHIHUAHUAS OR POMERANIANS. The idea of taking a puppy home appeals to many...the floppy ears, tugging on ropes, the turning of the head in curiosity, the puppy kisses.  But there is more going on than meets the eyes and to understand your dog, you have to think like a dog, not a human.  Dogs think in pack order.  They think in dominance (hierarchy) thinking.  That is, "Who is in charge and are they still strong enough today to tell each member of the pack what to do or does an under-ling have to raise up to take the job?"  Whether you realize it or not, you and your family ARE communicating to the dog just who is in charge and whether or not he can challenge you.  You just have to understand how a dog thinks and have to be consistent before you can control the dog.  Many are the people who admit they don't know what to do with their dog.  In 1970 they grabbed choke collars--or worse.  In 1990 shock collars were in use.  That's all fine and great, but it doesn't cure a humans' lack of understanding of WHY the dog is doing what he is doing.  While you're punishing that dog with electrical shocks and jerking on his neck, there are several underlying problems you should have dealt with or your efforts are a shock in the dark. If you want a family friend instead of an uncontrolled dog, find out how to read the dog, what he wants, what he's saying.  He IS communicating.  And so are you.  YOU just have to recognize what each other are saying so you control the verbage.  Throwing a shock collar or choke chain or halter at him will not help you understand what the dog is saying.  But, once you understand dog language, you'll be able to use the tool of your choice with much better success.   I am certainly NOT an expert on dog dominance nor on dog training.  But I had the priviledge of learning from Joe DeLoia, one of a hand-ful of men who trained peoples' pets during World War II to help in war efforts.  These pets were frequently untrained, unwilling to yield, confused, shy of loud war noises, and some were powder-puff types (like Poodles).  Some were tied up in the owners' back yards with very little social training and some were precious pets who came with pedigrees.  Joe DeLoia taught me to "read" the dog.  He taught me so much.  (I will be explaining dog dominance and dog behavior on a separate web page.)  A halter like this is a fast step towards helping an unruly dog realize the authority of the dominant male and female pack leaders.  It is not a cure-all.  In my opinion, it is better than a shock collar or a misting collar.  The main reason a dog does not behave itself is because of humans and their control (or lack of).  Understanding pack order and dog rules is KEY to getting and keeping control.  A harness is a humane way of asserting control; far better than slapping aggressively.  When I walked to work last week, the Chow, the Labrador and the mutt which had so aggressively barked and challenged me from behind the short fence on the steep hill were now loose and suddenly twenty five feet in front of me on the other side of the parked pick up.  Having seen me, the chow began her attack.  The others began to follow when I shouted and held out my hand as an authoritarian.  It worked for only a few seconds.  Re-starting the lunge, I started the shout again.  Though I couldn't see it, I heard a vehicle pull up behind me.  I knew that if I didn't climb in that strangers' vehicle, regardless of who he was, I would be bit.  The bus driver saw that, too, and risked his job to pick me up.  Nobody told on him.  He drove me around the corner; biteless.  He still holds his job. Taking a dog is a responsibility.  Let's be proactive in gaining control.  Dogs think as in a pack. And that Chow pack???  Their new addition, a 6 month Rotweiller, can almost jump over that fence on the steep hill.  What about four months from now when he's bigger? ________________________________________________ The first head collar I ever used was a Halti.  Then I tried at least three other brands with less satisfaction.  The Halti is the best so when I found it last month, I snatched it up!  It is NOT a muzzle.  It does not stop a dog from eating or biting.  It is a head gear which places light pressure on the two pressure points which an adult dog uses to calm rowdy puppies.  Ever notice an older dog attempt to place his paw over the back of the neck of a rowdy puppy?  Ever notice a mother dog place her muzzle across a rowdy puppy's mouth?  These are pressure points that settle a rowdy dog down.  In dog language it means, SETTLE DOWN PUP.  The greatest feature which sets this collar above the rest is that if the head collar comes off, as it sometimes does, then the collar around the neck is still attached.  I wish I had this feature when my German Shepherd got loose when we lived beside the school!  That was a fiasco!  Kids were getting onto school buses and all Tom wanted to do was run off and play.  No head collar, no lead, no collar, and a head-strong dog who wanted to go....that way!  People didn't know whether to risk their lives to save the kids or shrink and hide in their car.  Tom saw everybody as a friend, but they didn't know that.  He never growled or threatened the kids, he just ran--all over.  # Halti3   $25.00     Size 3 for Germ.

	It took two squeaks of this toy before Zoe took off after it. But don't try to take a photo when she drags it into the corner for a good chew and romp!  This over-sized Chihuahua toy has SIXTEEN squeakers and a head which rattles!  More noises than a tiny Chi could ignore!  Wee just gave this cow to our neighbors' rabbit-chasing Dachhound and it became a free-for-all!  Squeakers were a-flyin!  Very little if any stuffing, loaded with sixteen squeakers down the back, and a rattle in the head.  Simply irresistable! # 16SqNRattle Cow      $24.00
