One of the tasks my assistance dog sometimes performs for me is to carry things. After trying a number of other backpacks for my assistance dog, I settled on this one and am quite happy with it. It is sturdy, well made and has a larger capacity than some others I have tried, without being too bulky.

It allows one to remove the backpack section and replace it without undoing the whole harness. This is presumably for backpackers who want to retrieve something from the pack, reorganize it or just to give the dog a break during rest stops but have the ease of getting back on the trail with less muss & fuss.

I use the feature in similar fashion in more urban surroundings; when we're out for the day and there are times when he doesn't need to be actively carrying whatever we've loaded into the bag. (via ppe pet supplies)

Wooden Shopping Cart

3 people recommended this item

Description

I really like this little shopping cart. It looks well made and sturdy and is not overly detailed which lets children use their imaginations. I can see this being passed down in the family or from family to family.

Who knows, you might even develop a deputy shopper!

Chikuno Cube

Description

This is an elegant concept, the look is simplicity itself. There is no reason that it shouldn't work. The price is a bit steep if you're in need of more than one or two, but I guess that if you try it and like it, you can add more over time and they are renewable.

I think this is an excellent alternative to the standard "shopping cart"; less clunky and probably stores in a smaller space. (via bellaandlinda)

Booda Dome Cleanstep Cat Box

First to recommend

Description

I'm considering this as my next cat box.

I do like the shape and the idea of the steps as a way to keep the litter in the box is appealing, though I don't know how it works in practice. In any event the steps might be a novelty and a game for a while. (via amazon.com)

Cool K9 Cooling Vest for dogs

First to recommend

Description

I bought this vest for my golden retriever assistance dog when we were traveling to Atlanta in August.

Neither one of us do well in the heat and I wanted to make sure he was OK during the long afternoon outside for the events we would be attending.

It worked quite well.

I recommend this product highly. (via North Coast Pets)

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black)

9 people recommended this item

Description

I have this camcorder and I love it!

It is compact, easy to use, runs on AA batteries and downloads right into the computer.

I won't go into all the specification details because you can see those for yourself on the manufacturers website or even on Amazon which sells quite a few of them. What I want to communicate is the sheer user-friendliness and ease of use!

Swarovski Crystal Heart Beat USB Memory Key

Description

A bit pricey but certainly an unusual piece; jewelry and gadget in one, for the techie who wants some bling! There are several other executions of the same idea on this site.
