Did Christmas come early this year? Nope, just spoiling Luna (as per usual).
Actually, I've been looking for a good bed for Luna for a while now. And I've been super hesitant to buy her one since she chews every thing on the planet. But I found a good deal at Home Goods, for this chopped foam pet bed. It's the perfect size, machine washable cover, and the inside stuffing is also removable/replenishable. I think it was quite a great find.
The only other thing was hoping that Luna loved it as much as I loved the price. She's never had a "bed" before, so will she even know what to do with it? I brought it home, laid it down at one of her favorite resting spots. The first thing she does is smells it, then after she decides it smells okay, she rolls on her back and starts rolling on it, getting her scent on it. Well, that was successful. Then she basically laid on it the rest of the night.
Drew and I are making sure that she does not get to lay on it or have any contact with it, without our supervision (in case she chews it up like our comforter). So far the pet bed is intact, and in one piece—I hope I don't regret saying this later...
Also this weekend, I bought a coffee mug (dog themed, of course). It has my name written all over it. It has graphic design elements—all about typography—and dog related words on it. It's perfect.
While at Home Goods, I found this cool little dog toy called a "ball teaser". It's a ball inside a ball, by the brand Jolly. I've purchased other Jolly dog toys, but Luna didn't seem too interested, in fact she hasn't even TOUCHED the other toy. But this one I think she would be a little more interested in. And I was right. I brought it home and she only put it down to beg for the food I was eating for dinner.
Surprisingly, Luna did not have a "cookie jar," so when I saw one at Home Goods while browsing in the pet section (most dangerous section there for me), I thought it was perfect! So now her treats are in a cute storage, instead of in their boring food packaging.

The last thing I bought, I will have to return. It was one of the things I was most excited for, but it did not work out as well as I had liked. It was one of those hammocks for your car's back seat. It's waterproof and easily machine washable. And I figured it would be a good fur trap. My car's back seat has SO much fur on it that I refuse to drive more than one person in my car. Someone sat back there one time, and they got out of the car with a sweater on made out of Luna's fur. It was BAD. So I thought this investment would be good. But I put it on, and 1. it was way too small (even though the packaging said that it fits all cars), 2. it was flimsy and not wrapping around the seat cushions how I'd like, and 3. I think Luna was really uncomfortable in it, slipping and sliding because of the cheap material. I'll be returning it, maybe finding a similar thing but a different, better brand.
All in all, a very successful trip to Home Goods, or a dangerous one (as they always are). It seems like I spent a lot of money since I bought a lot of items, but really my total didn't pass $70! Check out Home Goods for great deals on pet home supplies (they also have other amazing human home supplies).
