Light Up Their Lives
Is Fluffy constantly roaming too far from her scratching post? Does Barkley have a tendency to run off into the night? Keep an eye on them with the Orvis LED Safety Collar Light ($19.50), a luminous gem that fastens to their collars, is waterproof up to 330 feet, is impact resistant and has a 250-hour battery life. It is visible up to 3 miles away, which is especially great for those nighttime beach walks on summer vacation. You have a choice between a steady light and a flashing mode.
