If you've grown up in a dog friendly city like I have, you know that some dog owners let their dogs do their business, only to walk away without cleaning up. There have been many close calls to to soles of my shoes but I'm always thankful for the people who do clean up after their dogs. Since I've been on a eco-friendly mindframe, I've been thinking about all the plastic bags out there. Did you know that US dogs produce enough waste to fill an 800-foot-tall football field every year and plastic bags can take over 100 years to decompose? We've been using reusable bags when we go shopping to keep plastic bags out of the landfills, so why not change your poop scooping habits too? That's why dog owners should check out the olive poop bags! They're made of corn starch and vegetable oil which makes them biodegradable, and they'll compost in about 40 days. Fido may be man's best friend, but use these bags and you're well on your way in being Mother Nature's best bud!
Price: $14.99

The recent economic turmoil has many of us downgrading to smaller apartments, and in turn desperately trying to make the most out of the limited space in our newly cramped quarters.

The BowHaus dog crate not only serves as a tucked-away little napping place for your pint-sized pup, but with its sleek powder-coated steel design and trendy star-burst detail, it also doubles as an end table, bed-side stand, or for use wherever you see it functioning best! It appeals to both your doggie's desire for his own hideaway and your own need to conserve room and equip your place with some modern decor! Get one for own place at the BowHaus store, where you can even "furnish" the tiny den with a sleeping mat!
