Febreze Expanding Pet Product Line
Horst Hoefinger

Febreze, you have to love it. Living with three big furballs has turned my wife into a bit of a fanatic for their product line.  On top of that she’s also a candle nut.

So this blog blurb is for all you other Febreze and candle lovers out there who will be happy to hear of Febreze’s whole new line of pet products.

Febreze, the leading line of home freshening products and a favorite among pooches and purrs, is extending its revolutionary Pet Odor Eliminator technology into a complete pet-friendly collection. Febreze Fabric Refresher and Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator offerings will be joined this summer by Febreze Candles Pet Odor Eliminator and Febreze NOTICEables Pet Odor Eliminator, delivering breaths of fresh air to pet-loving homes across the country.

Not only do Febreze products smell great but the wonderful company, Proctor and Gamble, are sponsors of Dogster’s Adoption Zone.  Also, some of you may have already seen that they’re giving away free Febreze zealies to share with all your doggie pals.  OK…I’m sure none of you missed seeing that. Let’s face it, it doesn’t get any better than free.

To kick off the Pet Odor Eliminator line, Febreze will be the first to sponsor Dogster.com’s Adoption Zone, continuing its successful partnership with Dogster.com and Catster.com, the fastest-growing pet destinations on the Web. New pet owners in the Dogster and Catster communities will also be encouraged to join a special Febreze group for an exclusive, limited edition Pet Pal Pack. The pack will come complete with a collapsible pet bowl, handy food scoop, food clip and Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator coupons, good for the entire line.

We joined the club a few months back and won one of the original kits they were giving away.  They are now offering a different kit so be sure to go sign up with the Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator Group to enter.

You’ll love it!!

Clean Up Your Yard the Fun Way
Horst Hoefinger

!Danger!  Poo discussion to follow  !Danger!

With three large dogs and a suburban sized back yard, you can imagine the number of landmines I need to navigate around while mowing the lawn. After a quick search of the internet, I think I may have found the solution to my problem.

Enter the Turd Burglar. The name is a bit misleading in that it’s really not about burglarizing any turds. I got plenty of my own, thank you, and can guarantee you that I harbor no deep desire to steal anyone’s turds.

This unique device attaches to the end of a hockey stick (supplied by you) and is designed to get under the poo so it can be flicked to a collection area in the yard.  It could be shot against the fence, sent deep in the back zone of the yard, or maybe even lofted over the fence into the noisy neighbor’s pool or yard.

Use the included game book to set up a Turd Burglar league. Let’s face it, this looks to be a fun way of disposing your pet’s waste. Did I mention it also comes with a practice poopie?

I have to say this sounds much better than my method of cutting the poops in half with my lawn mower.  In fact, I just ordered one and will let you know if it’s as much fun as it sounds.

In the meantime, tell me what fun ways you have for cleaning up your yard?
