Products.

The list of products purchased for one little shelter dog, who no one would have missed from the world had we not gotten him (I refuse to say adopted; he is not a child):

• Walking harness
• Leash
• Front-clip walking harness
• Kong toy
• Second Kong toy
• Head halter
• Dog bed
• Kennel
• Doghouse
• Special couch blanket
• Interactive chewy ball
• Container to hold both kongs and chewy ball
• Two toys and one nylabone he will not use
• Citronella spray collar
• A series of 7 disgustingly ugly Ikea rugs for the main level of our home so that he can stop skittering across the hardwoods in terror
• Clicker
• a LOT of treats
• Thundershirt (monogrammed - thanks to John, not me; he loves personalization!)

Sigh.
