I Have Lots Of News, BUT.....

Deb asked for another shopping post, so here goes. I think the following items defy description, and furthermore, I am still in the zombieland of new parenthood (again). So I present the following items to you for your own perusal and comments. Please feel free to share your thoughts. Best comment wins a hand-crocheted dishcloth made by moi. (It will be a completely subjective judging process.)

(note: the descriptions accompanying the products are the actual advertising blurbs. I did not make them up.)

Because House-Kitty was feeling a little...unsexy
Glamour Kitty Premium Scoop Cat Litter contains a built-in cat attractant and deodorizes the litter box, allowing multiple cats to use the same litter box.

Impress your guests....

Not only do you get superior odor control, now you can also get a fragrance every time your cat steps into the litter box. Fragrance not only provides reassurance that the product works, but also provides an enhancing element to the environment.

Your dog WILL appreciate the thought. I swear.

Fortifido Fortified Water for Dogs is currently available in three varieties: Spearmint Flavor for fresh breath, Peanut Butter Flavor for healthy bones and Parsley Flavor for healthy skin.

Or you could send them to the starving masses....
These are all natural treats without chemicals, preservatives or artificial ingredients. Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky has only two ingredients - 100 percent chicken breast fillets and natural flavoring. They are low in fat, high in protein and packed in a convenient resealable bag.

Bwa ha ha ha ha haaaaa.....Bringing Fortification to the Baking aisle!

Still working on the vitamin-food prototype...

Parents and school officials will be happy to know there is finally a "school approved" beverage that not only tastes great, itÕs nutrient packed, electrolyte-enhanced, gluten-free, certified OU Kosher and contains only natural sweeteners. Vitaminwater, the "cool kid" of healthy beverages, heads "back to school" in a 12-ounce, kid-friendly size due to popular demand by "soccer-mom" consumers. Vitaminwater 12-ounce bottle is the perfect choice for kids of all ages. In addition to fitting perfectly in a school lunch bag, vitaminwater 12-ounce provides nutrients that many kids may not be getting in their daily diets. The vitaminwater fridgepack holds ten 12-ounce bottles in a convenient package that's fun for the kids and portable and convenient for Mom.

Quicker than brushing....and so smart, too
Preschoolers today are more likely too have cavities than children did in the early 1990's - possibly because they are drinking more soda and juice drinks and less milk and water with fluoride. Listerine Smart Rinse is designed especially for children. It cleans by removing food particles and bacteria and contains fluoride to help promote extra cavity protection.

Finally -- environmentally friendly pancakes

I am going to have to try those Batter Blaster pancakes, you know. I just HAVE to. It's like putting baby doll clothes on a shoe to see if your kids will play with it -- just something I HAVE to do. Can't help myself. :-)

Love this post! Thank you! Not feeling very witty ATM but I'll try again later. ;-)

Love you!

I only have one comment. It's the dog water. Why oh why did they miss out on dog-butt flavor?

Loved the blog . . .I drkr will have a homemade knitted dish cloth coming in her future - I can't see anyone beating that comment - that was hilarious. The pancakes remind me of the Environmental home remodeling projects on the TV where they throw rip down and throw away half of the house to replace things with "green" newly manufactured products with minimal (but very popular) enviro benefits. "It's not easy being Green" :-(

I shared some of the products' names and advertising with some kids at school. They laughed at them, especially the flavored water for dogs and the Batter Blaster--but I think the favorite was the Batter Blaster. They all want to try it.
