Power generating dog leash

by Edwin - on February 9, 2010

power-generating-leash

Dog owners know just how important it is to walk their dogs in order to burn off all the pent up mental energy, so why not take a greener approach with the Power Generating Dog Leash? This unique device even comes with a storage space that can hold doggy poop bags, alongside a trio of LEDs if night walking is your thing. There are no batteries involved – all you need to do is coil and recoil the leash in order to generate juice for those LEDs. No idea on pricing or availability, but expect the Power Generating Dog Leash to hit the market later this year.

If you’re tired of listening to your yappy dog, this collar will fix them.  Not in that shocking way that makes them twitch for a couple of hours.  No this one is nice enough it’ll give you a laugh and your pet loving significant other won’t scowl at you for being mean to the dog.  Instead of shocking them it sprays water right up their nose.  Well it’s nicer than the other way, no one said it was entirely nice.

Spillarium does not spill out fish

by Edwin - on December 30, 2009

spillariumThe Spillarium is a hybrid home ornament that spills water but not your precious live fish within – making it more than a half-decent home decorative fixture that will definitely have guests over puzzle it out, thanks to the wonders of optical illusion.

Water cascades from the side of the bowl – creating the illusion of an aquarium that’s perilously losing water – into the koi goldfish base, and back into the aquarium. A filter at the spout prevents daredevil fish from plunging over the falls. An integrated pump continuously cycles water through a sponge and charcoal filtration system and helps maintain the proper water level inside the aquarium. LED lights in the base cast a warm, colorful glow throughout the bowl. The five-gallon aquarium accommodates up to five fish. Includes artificial fish and plants, a fish net, cleaning brush, and fish food. Plugs into AC.

If you want something vastly different from the usual aquarium, the Spillarium is worth considering at $129.95 a pop, although don’t expect to rear a whole school of ornamental fish due to the limited space.

Sha-Poopie, endorsed by the Monk family

by Mark R - on December 3, 2009

9697_1_230I was watching an episode of Monk the other day, and he was on a case where detective Adrian Monk had to adopt a dog. His assistant Natalie bought him a Sha-poopie to clean up after the pooch.

If you’ve ever watched the show, then you know how germ-phobic Monk is. I would imagine that for him to clean up dog leavings would be the ultimate torture.

The Sha-Poopie is a device that allows the user to get under the dog’s…tail as they are…bowel moving, and catch the crap before it becomes against the law.

Inventor Dan Shalhoub was inspired by the fact that he owns a dog, and he hated bending over to pick up the mess. He has a bad back, and noticed that most products that clean up after the dog are rather “after the fact”. He invented the Sha-Poopie as “preemptive, catch it in the act product”.

Spotlit LED Collar Light

by Edwin - on December 2, 2009

spotlitI’ve seen and read about enough tragic accidents happening to Fidos all over the world as they dash out from the yard at night only to get hit by a fast moving vehicle, often resulting in serious injuries as well as death. Why take your chances with fate when you can always let Fido wear the Spotlit LED Collar Light?

Because no matter how well trained your dog is, increasing Fido’s night-time visibility while you’re on your walk is a reliable way to keep him seen and safe.These are also great for attaching to yourself or your childrens’ rucksack for visibility at night. Once on, this LED keyring glows bright white or red, or will cycle through the colours if you choose the multi-coloured version. You can press the button a second time to set the dog safety light to flashing mode and increase your pet’s visibility even further. The stainless steel carabiner clips on securely to dog collars, or backpacks so won’t come off no matter how energetic you or your pooch are, and is water resistant for going on walks in all weathers.

Available in white or red LEDs, they will both retail for £7.95 each and are powered by a couple of 2016 3V batteries. Prevention is better than cure, that much I can say.

Those of you that enjoy carrying your precious pets around with you in public, instead of letting them walk, will enjoy this bag.  Especially if you’re a person that’s highly attached to your music.  It’ll let your pooch jump up and down within the bag to your favorite song.  If that’s not enough to make you carry the bag, it might help things along that the bag was given to last year’s Oscar attendees.
