I’ll take a weekend break from writing about our real children to pay homage to our furry companions.
For all you dykes with cats and toolboxes, here’s how to build your own cat tree. (From PandE Cats via Lifehacker.) The instructions are a little sketchy, and some additional pictures would help, but if you have a knack with a hammer and a glue gun, you can probably figure it out or customize it to your own specifications.
If you’re a dog owner looking for a way to pamper your favorite furry friend, try one of these dog treat recipes from Two Dog Press. They include such delights as Peanut Butter Bones, Chicken and Honey Biscuits, Apple Cinnamon Drops, and Harry’s Party Pupcakes. Your pooch will likely love them, and if your toddler has one by mistake, no harm done. (In fact, the Big Boy Beef Biscuits even contain a jar of beef baby food.) For older kids, these could be fun cooking projects.
