A $3 toddler t-shirt from the Gap outlet up the street does, though.

I figure that human supplements are better regulated and cheaper than those made specifically for dogs. I buy human grade glucosamine supplements and fish oil for the dogs. orange sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861196943377062697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-52867660095985873322013-02-21T10:19:36.345-06:002013-02-21T10:19:36.345-06:00Awesome suggestions!

Same goes for daybed mattresses at Ikea, dogs love them and you can find cute and affordable sheets to cover them with. :)Sara @ LiteraryLimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197292707596784383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-76723815384300164072013-02-21T08:20:17.835-06:002013-02-21T08:20:17.835-06:00We also use mason jars for dog treats.

We often put bandanas on the dogs when we take them places - why pay $10 for a dog bandana that will only fit small/medium dogs when I can cut a $1 bandana in half and have two that will fit even larger dogs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-42819109392036944532013-02-21T08:13:07.898-06:002013-02-21T08:13:07.898-06:00Great ideas... especially the puffy coat for Mr. B...Great ideas... especially the puffy coat for Mr. B.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-75628249066813643972013-02-21T07:43:50.883-06:002013-02-21T07:43:50.883-06:00Good advice!

I've been on the lookout for something cute (since her dishes are in the kitchen), but yes! it's expensive. I'm loving the serving dish idea!<br /><br />We have dog beds in the basement, but wanted to get something for the pooches in the bedroom since Ed has graduated out of his crate at night. I found Euro pillows on sale at Bed Bath & Beyond (with a coupon) for practically nothing. My next goal is to make a cute cover.<br /><br />Also, I love Mr B's outfit in that picture - he is great! I have used a kids sweatshirt on Tess, but never thought of a vest. Great ideas!!Hannah@Eriesistibullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466534109188559910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-9128561656031722672013-02-21T07:40:06.147-06:002013-02-21T07:40:06.147-06:00When I had a garden I became obsessed with canning...When I had a garden I became obsessed with canning my own vegetables so I had a bunch of Ball Jars and Mason Jars. Now that I don't have a garden and don't can, I use those jars for dog treats, etc.<br /><br />Ray also prefers to lay on blankets so we usually just have some old comforters folded on the floor for mats for him.Debra@Peaceabullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486502648093658830noreply@blogger.com
