Ergo, I decided I should keep a list of things I want so when people (aka 'family') finally start asking, I'll have a better answer than 'hmm, I could really use some new socks.'
Dogs:
- Training treats for dogs at the shelter - Puproni, Bil-jacs, Blue Buffalo, Beggin' Strips, etc.
- Toys for dogs at the shelter (Kongs, stuffed toys - get 'em cheap, though)
- Consumables for the dogs at the shelter (bully sticks, rawhide chews, pig's ears, etc. - Amazon has some pretty good deals on bully sticks)
- Martingale collars for dogs (size Medium seems to be the best size to get) - order 'em for cheap from Amazon
- 6' nylon leashes for dogs (1" wide is best)
- Freedom Harness for dogs - size M and size L - I don't care about the color so get whichever color is cheapest.
- Donate to your local animal shelter or to Dogs Out Loud
- Kitten toys (they tend to like small stuff they can carry around - so maybe a value pack of the little mice or a pack of 1" diameter pom-poms you can get at a craft store)
- Warming Disk/pad for foster kittens ("Snuggle Safe" seems to be the brand) - or you can just google "Warming Disk Kittens" to see what it looks like.

- I would buy either dog-related stuff listed above, kitten related stuff listed above, Lua the Pup T-Shirt, or a treat pouch for training
