Abstract: A lighter fluid composition usable for starting barbecues and the like that comprises naturally occurring combustible materials, which is clean burning and results in low volatile organic compound (VOC) emission during combustion, which is biodegradable and easily disposable, and which burns with a pleasant aroma and does not impart any unpleasant hydrocarbon odor or flavor to food cooked on a barbecue. The composition preferably comprises between approximately 0.5 weight percent and approximately 90 weight percent of a terpene or terpenoid oil, and between approximately 0.5 weight percent and approximately 98.5 weight percent of short chain alcohol, between approximately 0.5 weight percent and approximately 60 weight percent of water, between approximately 0.1 weight percent and approximately 10 weight percent of surfactant, and between approximately 0.5 weight percent and approximately 10 weight percent of thickening agent.

Abstract: A portable water drinking device for pets adapted to be used with a conventional sports water bottle wherein the device includes a lapping pan and a clip assembly for carrying the water bottle in both an elevated serving position with respect to the pan and in a nested storage position. The clip assembly includes an extension arm portion operatively connected to and projecting from the pan and a gripping arm portion integrally formed with and projecting perpendicularly from the extension arm portion and defining a bifurcated end portion configured and sized to grip the neck of the bottle. The orientation of the clip assembly with respect to the pan is moveable so as to secure the water bottle in either the elevated inclined serving position or in the nesting storage position.
