I already shared my first fave –
antibacterial hand gel – but I also couldn't survive life with
North without a lint brush or
Tide-to-go minis. He doesn't get his muddy paws on me that often, but I have quite the obsession with keeping a stain-removing pen in my purses, desk, car . .

Last Saturday was the
Dog Days of Summer event for the San Francisco Giants. Once a year, the team invites people (and their pooches!) to enjoy a baseball game at AT&T Park. Sadly North and I couldn't make it this time, but next year, I'm buying my tix early.

It's no secret that I've got pets on my mind 24/7 . . .

Now, seems like we can all agree about
choosing to date (or marry) an animal lover, but what about a fellow pet owner. Although I adore my pooch, have dated a fair share of dog (and cat!) lovers, and enjoy meeting new animals, I'm not sure North could handle sharing our home with another furball. In fact, my friends joke that I'd come back and there could very well be one dog left standing .
