Bring Your Pleo to Work Day!
Sadly, North couldn't come with me to work on Take Your Dog To Work Day, but Pleo could!

North already sniffed her out so I brought her in to Sugar HQ to see if she could blend in.
"Boston Terror" Chronicles: North vs. the Pleo

An essential duty of kitty ownership is cleaning up the poop — can't be avoided. Now there are plenty of pricey products that come highly recommended (like the Litter Robot); however, community member Arcsis shared her love for an affordable alternative in the Street Team —this Omega Paw Roll 'n Clean Litter Box ($29):
