My dogs love their bed by Bessie and Barnie. It's so damn expensive (think about 125) but it's got a washable cover and it's super luxe. [see website here] (https://www.bessieandbarnie.com/)

[Favorite treats] (https://www.amazon.com/Zukes-Naturals-Roasted-Chicken-16-Ounce/dp/B000H0ZJHW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1491847332&sr=1-1&keywords=zukes)

Also we got a [KitNipBox] (https://www.kitnipbox.com/) and also the dogs love a [BarkBox] (https://barkbox.com/)

[Cats fave scratcher] (https://www.amazon.com/PetFusion-Scratcher-Cardboard-Construction-unverified/dp/B004X6UEH6/ref=sr_1_8?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1491847932&sr=1-8&keywords=cat+scratcher) This thing lasts around 6 months! Love it so much.

And if I may state, I do love our Roomba. It's pet related right?
*edit to add pure Roomba love ;)

Miss Stella loves her Devoted Doggy Booster Car Seat. She totally digs going on adventures.

She is a total treat hound, but these days the only thing she's allowed to have are some veggies and freeze dried chicken. She loves these things though. They turn to dust if you handle them too much, but we just sprinkle the dust on her wet food to encourage her to eat it. :o)

Edit: Oh! And I forgot. My girl gets smelly FAST (probably the tall wet grass she traipses through), so this stuff is awesome. She has super sensitive skin, and it helps alleviate the dry flaky itchy stuff really well.

Hello lovlies! The dreaded Christmas is over, and it appears we all survived.

I feel so grateful for my husband lately. We had a quiet day just the two of us. We went for a long bike ride, grilled some steaks and ate all of the monkey bread. He lived the cologne and undies I got him. He got me a NOW oil diffuser which I absolutely love! Last night we had lavender going in the bedroom, and today, it's eucalyptus in the living room :)

Also, my pregnant SIL messaged me to tell her that my mother made Christmas a living hell for her. Eventhough she's pregnant less than a year after her wedding, and eventhough they're using one of our top baby names, I feel so bad for her, my mother can be so awful.

Anyway, onward and upward for all of us here, I suppose. At least as best we can.

• Simon loves his new Sunny Seat
  
• In case you missed it, the Pet Cube

Man I never thought about the tail holding it in place. I think you might need to invest in a dog onesie. You could put the diaper on first then the onesie would hold it up maybe?

You need this! https://www.amazon.com/Weighted-Blanket-XLarge-Tan-lbs/dp/B004LO80NA

I didn't do anything for my retrieval because I was way too gloomy and I thought they would give me free socks (with the cool sticky stuff on the bottom!) but instead, they made me put on these weird stiff paper things for my feet, and it was sad and depressing.

So I am also half-heartedly wondering about cute/lucky socks!

Edit: so these are now a serious contender.

Shit. Getting the results of a failed mtese sucks in so many ways. (We did the tese timed with IVF with donor backup plan too)

First I think I would cancel the transfer (Looking back I wish I had done a freeze-all for physical and emotional reasons anyways). Worst case it only stalls you like 6 weeks til you can do a FET but enough time for both of you to talk and process.

Second, talk. talk. talk. My husband was very ok with going donor and fully expected the tese to fail so mostly it was me talking. I went to the terrible negative loop too. But I forced myself to look at the stories from the other side too, the kids that are so thankful for their donors and their parents. I also found this book helpful. It's talks about the good and bad of donor from the medical side, parents, and the kids.

Everyone is different but for me educating myself on the topic and talking to families that had positive donor experiences really helped.
