Handcarved Coffea Tree Bird Perch
Anyone who lives with a bird knows that they they will perch just about anywhere as long as it is above your head. Or then again, they may be happy under your desk perched on computer cords. This Handcarved Coffea Tree Bird Perch

The perch is created from a single coffee tree that's 25 to 35 years old, whose twisting branches grow horizontally and have varied diameters, providing a comfortable perch for birds of any size to rest or walk on. The 4 foot tall tree also has seven to 10 branches that are spaced far enough apart to provide birds room to play and flap their wings.
The trunk has two 3D birds carved into its surface. Two bird seed bowls attached to the perch hold bird seed, along with two hanging toys for pecking fun. It comes with a quality Kamper wood base to collect the falling seeds with four locking casters for ease of mobility.

Fleece Dog Jacket Beats the Cold
As we write this, ole man winter is blowing through northern regions of the US. No matter what the weather conditions, our pets must brave the raw outdoors to do their business (unless of course they enjoy the luxury of an indoor potty
).
We are all about fleece this year for staying warm and cozy. This sharp-looking Fleece Dog Jacket is sort of a horse blanket for dogs. It goes on quickly, using only two hook-and-loop fasteners on the chest and belly for a snug, comfortable fit.

Better Than Tomato Juice Skunk Rinse Recipe
A few years ago, our sweet Golden returned from a romp in the yard reeking of skunk spray. Stressful enough, but we also had family visiting with little children. We deployed the traditional treatment of tomato juice, but Dr. Karen Becker claims it isn't nearly as effective as this easy recipe.
If skunks are hibernating where you are, you have plenty of time to stock up on the ingredients. Bookmark this post for quick access when it warms up in the spring, and they are out poking around for beetles.
Skunk Rinse Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 quart hydrogen peroxide
-- 3% first aid antiseptic solution
• ¼ cup baking soda 
• 2 teaspoons Dawn dishwashing liquid
If you have a larger breed dog like we do, you may need to double, triple or even quadruple the mixture depending on how much territory you need to cover.
Method:
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild bleaching agent, so wear old work clothes. You may also want to wear rubber gloves
.
Mix up in a bucket and apply the solution to your pet's dry coat. Start from the collar and move back toward the tail. Keep it away from your pet's eyes because the hydrogen peroxide solution can burn them. After the dog has been bathed in this solution rinse him/her down with the hose.
