Gadgets Galore for Summer Fun

First off, a pair of sunglasses for the pooch. You wear them to protect your eyes, now pooch can be protected too. Sure, they look goofy as heck, and actually getting them on the dog may be a lot like wrestling an oiled pig, but it's a small price to pay for doggie fashion. Who doesn't want a pooch that rocks some serious shades?

Floating Pool Lights

There are two very cool floating pool lights to choose from this summer. If you have an unlimited price tag, you can go with the ambient light of the lamp-shaped lights for nearly $500 apiece. Just toss and go. They give your pool a beautiful glow. The ones that appeal to me, though, are the ones shaped like jellyfish - they are much cooler in my opinion. I almost with I had a pool to justify tossing them into it. Not only cooler, they are much more affordable at $60 each. The lamp shaped lights stay one color, for the elegant pool party look. The jellyfish lamps have tops that change colors and fiber optic tentacles under the water. So cool!
