Even Buddy's ready for July 4th-He's wearing his Patriotic Banadana sleeve from Moe's Place


Ok... This is really not the best picture!!! He looks really fat here. But he's ready to party on the Fourth of July. Buddy is wearing the Union Scout Bandana sleeve from Moe's Place,LLC. This bandana sleeve is reversible and can be worn short or long, so you have many options. It's mashine washable on the gentle cycle and just lie it flat to dry. These are made in the USA, sewn and packaged. These are easy to wear. The Scout just slides easily over your dog’s existing collar and stays in place without Velcro, ties, or snaps. The Scout covers the collar from end to end to give a complete look and to keep the garment from sliding back and forth around your dog's neck. It is easy to wear and my dog seem to like it.
Moe's Place, LLC offers a 30 day unconditional guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your Premium Bandana Sleeve, return it within 30 days for a full refund, plus they will pay your return shipping! (This is as long as your dog hasn't chewed it.) Check out all the different styles and designs at MoesPlace.org I would recommend You buying these Premium Dog Bandana Sleeves for your Dogs. They come in Sizes Petite to X-Large. Perfect for any Dog!!
Moe's Place, LLC proudly donates 10% of their proceeds to animal shelters in your area. This is a company that truely cares about the envirnoment, community and animals.
Here's Buddy in Skipper's the Hunter suppoting the camoflauge, he's ready to go duck hunting after he eats his dinner.


*Disclosure: I received Two Premium Dog Bandana Sleeves for review purposes. This is my honest thoughts and opinion. My Dog,Buddy seemed to like wearing these. Our dog Magnum, has been sick and so I haven't tried these on him, but I'm sure the Camoflauge one will look really great on Magum, seeing he is a Chocolate Lab.*

But how can The Wild Soccer Bunch possibly win?

These Unbeatables are animals! Join Kevin the Star Striker and his wild bunch as they search for the perfect coach and become a real team.

My Thoughts:
I have a problem! I'll admit it- I have a hard time make decisions-especially when it comes to what sunglasses look go on me. I usually have to try on a few pairs, then I go back to the same style I had the time before. So, I thought getting sunglasses without trying them on would be a problem. Wrong With Sunglass Warehouse there were no worries, With a money back guarantee, if they didn't look right or fit how I liked them-no problem. Sunglass Warehouse makes picking out sunglasses much easier. They offer tips and suggestions on Sunglasses and Face Shapes, and made it alot easier for me. I chose a pair that fit just right and looked good too. (And didn't take me forever either)
