We can't seem to go anywhere these days without carting along all the stuff we might need. And that's especially true when out and about with our pets. We can fill this rugged cotton-canvas Amish Handsewn Tote Bag
with toys, treats, and food for a picnic, or pack it with towels and tennis balls for a trip to the beach.
Fully lined, it features swivel handles, a zipped top, and a small interior pocket for our keys, phone or cash. Handsewn by Amish craftswomen in rural Ohio, the tote's design was inspired by a vintage bag of dog food.

We all know the benefits of sharing our lives with pets; sadly we often outlive them.
One of our Golden Retriever twin girls suffers from severe and debilitating arthritis. For over a year we have tinkered with palliative (pain meds) and curative treatments.
And we are not alone--we are one family among thousands living with older pets in pain, obsessively assessing the quality of their lives, while learning that the very pain medications that relieve their suffering can and do gravely impact the quantity of their lives.
If this strikes a chord in your life, you may want to check out this Behavioral Signs of Persistent Pain chart. Then get out the tissues and read the insightful Deciding When a Pet Has Suffered Enough | New York Times Sunday Review by bioethicist Jessica Pierce. She is also the author of The Last Walk: Reflections on Our Pets at the End of Their Lives
which "asks--and answers--the toughest questions pet owners face".

In the upcoming months, many of us are going to find ourselves walking our dogs in the dark, whether evening or early morning. This lightweight nylon Walker's Path Illuminating Belt
is a hands-free safety light that is worn comfortably around the waist to illuminate the path ahead. It has two pockets to hold keys, energy bars, and other small gear.
The LED on the belt can be set to three different light intensities so dog walkers can see the road. It can be adjusted 110° horizontally for use as either a wide-angle floodlight or narrow spotlight without perturbing other walkers. As a safety feature, its rear-mounted red LEDs and reflective orange detailing provide visibility to vehicles approaching from behind.
