Many moons ago, I was painting a bedroom and took off my engagement ring to keep it safe. I placed it on the bedside table where my ever-ravenous English Setter promptly scoffed it up. I did get it back, but will spare you the details.

This week we have been painting some more, and I removed 4 rings this time. While that particular crazy dog is sadly no longer around, these Cat Ring Holders
would have been perfect for ring safekeeping.

They come in a set of 3 holders including one each of pretty colors for spring -- yellow, blue and purple with hand-painted floral accents. Place on a bathroom or kitchen sink, night stand, dresser, or wherever you are most apt to remove your rings.

Perhaps your dog is underfoot during meal-time, pushing his/her food bowl around the room and and slopping food and water on the floor around the bowl. This hack can solve that problem.

Take a cheap $8 IKEA Lack Side Table
to house your dog's food and water bowls and make sure they stay in one place. Measure the cuts in the top for your bowls, then use a Dremel to cut the holes so that the bowls can be easily placed in and out of the table.

One caveat to keep in mind--raised food bowls may contribute to the serious condition of bloat, or gastric dilation.

A happy and healthy pet drinks plenty of fresh clean water. It is sad to see the stale, warm, bacteria-laden water that pets must drink in pet stores. If they drink it at all, filthy water can actually make them sick.
The FroBo Cooling Pet Bowl
provides your pet with a constant reservoir of cool, clean water. The FroBo keeps your pets' water cold and fresh for eight hours or longer. Its non-toxic gel core freezes in two hours and lasts longer than ice.

The bowl is compact and chew-resistant with a slide-proof base. Supplemental FroBo bowls are available so pet owners can have a frozen bowl on-hand at all times. Something to definitely have on hand this summer.
