Good morning crew,

That poor, little Dog-Puss. The wife just gave Mini her spring grooming and she looks like a whole new dog. Instead of a dirty, white mop the wife shaved her down to a lean, stream-lined squirrel hunter.


Ok, maybe not lean, but definitely a lot thinner than I thought she was. All winter I thought I was over-feeding the poor, little girl while it turns out she was just carrying around a couple extra pounds of hair.

But Mini does NOT appreciate being trimmed. She takes it personally. I swear to God she sulked for two days. But some leftover steak and mashed potatoes finally brought her back around.

Another thing a good grooming helps with is the shedding. Mini's not much of a shedder, but when her hair is longer it really shows up. And if you have any pets you know what I'm talking about. That's why it is absolutely essential to have a good lint brush on hand like the Fur Wizard.


Basically, this is a self-cleaning lint brush. The Fur Wizard combines the effectiveness of a standard lint brush with the convenience of a self-cleaning base. The base consists of micro-bristles which cleans the brush for repeat uses. So all you do is slip the brush in and out of the base and it's clean and ready to go again.

Furniture, clothes, drapes, comforters, the Fur Wizard eliminates not only pet hair but lint, dust, and other debris quick and easy. Once you get one of these you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Laugh it up,

Joe

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes

At the company water cooler, I bragged about my children's world travels: one son was teaching in Bolivia, another was working in southern Italy, and my daughter was completing a year-long research project in India.

One co-worker's quip, however, stopped me short. "What is it about you," he asked, "that makes your kids want to get so far away from you?"
