We all know that with these hostile economic times, we gotta watch what we spend – you never know how low the DOW will go tomorrow! So in the spirit of saving some cash, I scoured the Internet to find some awesome items that are deeply discounted. There's no reason to stop spoiling your favorite furry friends just 'cause you want to watch your budget, but you may want to hold off on buying those $350 dollar boots for just a bit longer!
One of my favorite fashionable items is this Ear Shot Stainless Steel Bowl from Muttropolis. This bowl is a total find, marked down from $72 bucks to $32! I'm loving the white on steel – so modern. Check out some more of my favorite sale picks from around the web in the widget below.
It’s time to get clever! A picture is worth a thousand words, but those messages vary from person to person. I think this picture is too sweet — what do you think of it? Suggest quotes or captions for this photo in your comments below, and I’ll do a roundup next week of some of my faves.

In an annual "health check for the planet", the
International Union for Conservation of Nature has released its list of the most threatened animals on earth. The scary news?
Twenty-five percent of all mammals are on the verge of extinction. That's a big number to swallow, considering there are over 44,000 animals on the Red List this year.
Check out my slideshow of just a few of the animals that are critically endangered, but also check out Conservation International's website
with an educational countdown clock showing us animals that are pushed to extinction every nine to 44 minutes. It's scary stuff, but it really makes you realize how delicate the balance is between safe . . . and extinct.

I'm already starting my Christmas shopping list (the early bird gets the worm, right?), and one of the people at the top is my cat-loving pal. So while brainstorming what to get her (and kitty) for the holiday, I came across the Scratch Lounge, and was totally blown away by the testimonials of how much cats love it!
At first glance, the Scratch Lounge is just a simple three-sided scratcher that doubles as a sleeping spot. Apparently, cats use the Scratch Lounge 100 times more than regular scratchers. What is up with that?!
Is it the patented super-dense honeycomb panels that make scratching (and sleeping) irresistible? Is it the free bag of premium catnip that is thrown in with your order (but makers assure us that it's definitely not required for use with the Scratch Lounge)? I'm totally intrigued. So help me out — do you have the Scratch Lounge? And if so, are your cats in love with it, too?
Great job captioning this silly photo! You made it quotable with these clever ideas:
