The family pet is usually more than just a dog or cat. Pets have become integral members of our family units. Maybe the next time they update the definition of the “nuclear family” they can add pets to the mix. We trust them, we love them, we take care of them.

Oh, yeah, and we spoil them.

Trend Hunter has brought to our attention yet another way that we can pamper our pets. I’m not talkin’ dog house castles or diamond collars. I’m not even talkin’ ’bout doggie daycare or luxury kennels.

This time we mean Sunspa, the at-home tanning bed for your beloved family pet. If your dog has seasonal depression or anxiety (or if he just gets cold sometimes), then this little innovation is just right for you.

The Sunspa consists of a comfortably padded bed that lies underneath a wooden arch. At the top of the arch is a special 150-watt light that generates a temperature of 80-85 degrees for your pet to bask in. The light lasts approximately 5000 hours, so your pet will have plenty of time to soak up the rays before any maintenance is needed.

Happy Columbus Day, everyone!  If you’re anything like me, Columbus Day is a holiday that means basically nothing to you except for the fact that you can’t go to the post office or swing by the bank.  Where I live, schools remain open on Columbus Day, so it’s not even a real holiday and probably […]

Things with the economy seem to be getting worse.  First all the mortgage companies got in trouble, then the stock market slumps even after the government promises to give them a bunch of free money.  The entire country of Iceland is going bankrupt as we speak.  Europe also is bailing out their companies.  However, despite […]

Being a full-adventurer is a dangerous bit of business.  No matter how good you might be, or how lucky you might be when it comes to avoiding death while flying across the English Channel with a jetpack, one wrong move can spell disaster.  See, for example, the missing (and presumed dead) Steve Fossett.  He flew […]

The first day of October marks the start of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month here in the United States, and with the increased awareness comes a wide variety of fund raising activities designed to help find a cure for breast cancer, from the National Race for the Cure to one of my favorite fund raisers, […]

Rosh Hashanah begins tonight.  For those of you that don’t know, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year.  It begins tonight, September 29, at sundown and runs until sunset on October first on the US calendar, and it marks the beginning of year 5769 of the Jewish Calendar.  Shana Tovah!
Rosh Hashanah, like all the High […]

I don’t know anyone who likes going to the dentist.  I can’t speak for anyone else, but I HATE it.  Passionately.  Whenever I go to the dentist I feel like I’m Dustin Hoffman and Dr. Szell (the guy in the picture) is asking me, “Is it safe?”  I’d never cross my dentist, because I’m afraid […]

While the Chinese astronauts on board the Shenzhou VII are currently in flight towards the stars, in Calais, France, another intrepid adventurer has pushed back risking death for another day.  Yves Rossy, a professional pilot for SwissAir by day and a daredevil by night, has invented something he calls a Jet Wing.  Basically, it’s a […]
