Furhaven: The Name To Buy For Low Cost Dog Bedding



Low cost dog bedding doesn't have to be low quality. Furhaven has been distributing pet supplies from Bellingham, Washington for years and have some affordable sleep solutions for pets.

The jumbo deluxe convertible orthopedic mattress is an outstanding product that will really assist larger dogs in having a better nights rest and maintaining joint health and comfort.

The secret is the memory foam core which we all know has made revolutionary changes in human mattresses.

Another cool feature of this bed is the removable fleece cover that can be machine washed. If you have an older dog with bladder control issues then you need to check out the Furhaven line.

My children have larger dogs. An English Bulldog in Tampa, Florida and a Boxer in Hutchinson, Kansas. Both of my kids use the memory foam dog mattresses and wouldn't trade them for anything else.

Another great feature of the deluxe orthopedic mattress is the water proof cover that surrounds the foam core. This prevents you from the futility of trying to clean urine from the foam mattress.

Overall, the Furhaven is a very good value priced at just under $40.00.

If you sense that your pet is not resting well or is suffering from stiff sore joints then check out Furhaven. It is the true solution to low cost dog bedding.

Quest Bar: Excellent Low Carb Sugar Free Protein Bars!




Quest Nutrition has a wonderful protein bar called the Quest Bar. In many peoples minds they are the best low carb sugar free protein bars.

Here are some pros and cons when considering purchasing and consuming these treats.

Quest Bar Pros

The Quest Bar packs an amazing wallop when it comes to protein. Each bar supplies a generous 20 to 21 grams of protein. The source of the protein is whey which is preferred protein for many athletes and body builders as well as dieters.

The net carbs range from 4 to 7 grams. This is accomplished with the natural sweeteners Stevia and Erythritol. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which is the only sugar alcohol to not cause gastro-intestinal distress or spike the blood sugar levels. It has also been reported to have antioxidant properties which is a wonderful bonus. 

Another definite pro is the number of delicious flavors. I had a lemon cream pie bar today and it was truly tasty. I have had a number of different brands of protein bars and some of them are just awful. Here is a full list of their flavors: Cookies & Cream, S'Mores, Mint Chocolate Chunk, White Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cinnamon Roll, Coconut Cashew, Double Chocolate Chunk, Strawberry Cheesecake and Apple Pie

Quest Bar Cons

You can't please everyone and that is why I mention some of the complaints that are registered with the consumption of Quest Bars. One complaint is that they do not taste good to everyone. While the vast majority of Amazon reviews are gung ho on taste there are some folks who don't like them.

Another complaint is the texture. If you are familiar with protein bars then you know that they most often resemble cookie dough in their texture and feel. Quest Bars are no exception. I happen to like that texture but not everybody does.

A final con is that some people experience gas and bloating after eating a bar. Again, the preponderance of customer reviews are positive and "gas free" but there are exceptions.

Those are some of my thoughts about Quest Bars. I still feel that they are one of the best low carb sugar free protein bars on the market and I highly recommend that you try them!

Is The Asics Gel-Kayano 23 Better Than The 22?




I have a grand-daughter who runs with ASICS and won't trade them for anything. I have worn ASIACS running shoes for years and in my mind they are absolutely the most comfortable, durable and affordable shoe money can buy.

This video review looks at the ASICS Gel Kayano 23 and it is a very honest review with a conclusion that is not usually found in reviews of this type.

The reviewer gives the Kayano 23 high marks for it's construction and comfort. However, he contends that while the 23 is a great shoe it is not worth the price differential found in the Kayano 22.

I checked some pricing and found the Kayano 23 to be about $30 more and this reviewer says that there is not that much diffence to merit the price.

A great video that still extols the virtue of ASIC running shoes but is unbiased in there assessment of the new model.

Purchase ASICS when you make your next trip to the shoe outlet and buy some Kayano 22's if they have them!

Chromecast Version 2 - Specs, Speed And Review




After weighing my options for several months concerning the big decision to "cut the cord" I finally settled on a Chromecast Version 2 for my choice to make my phone my new remote control!

The Chromecast 2nd generation is different in it's basic design from the original launch product. However, the new design makes the device a much better conduit to make your dumb TV into a smart TV.

The only difficulty I had with the device is that when I first installed it I was having trouble with lost signals after just a few seconds. I remedied this problem by pulling the Chromecast disc out to the side giving it more exposure to my household wifi signal. After I made this adjustment it has worked flawlessly. You could make the same adjustment if you are having similar trouble by using a bit of duct tape to hold it in a receptive position.

This is an excellent review video by Jim's Review Room. He points out that the Chromecast works on android as well as Apple.

It's considerably faster than the first version. It works beautifully with Netflix, Hulu and Youtube. Chrome now has several apps that can be downloaded to your device to make your viewing experience even more enjoyable.

Jim's Review Room recommends the fabulous Chromecast 2 as it is also well priced at around $35!

Thinking of cutting the cable? Get the 2nd Generation Chromecast!
