    Reading through the different actions reminded me about a store that I visit often: Already Been Chewed (on Bonney Road) is a pet "thrift" shop where you can buy second hand collars, leashes, crates and kennels, gates, x-pens....anything you can think of. It's a great place to find inexpensive essentials.

    Ever been to The Painted Tree at Hilltop? Lots of eco vendors there, including EcoManiac Co!

    Received a neat little gift from a friend: the cora ball! Anyone ever used this in their washing machine?
