I don't think the pet industry has much to worry about. We boomers may be aging but we also didn't have near as many children as our parents, so we have less heirs to finance.

I agree with the last half of your appraisal. I think you're wrong on that Mike Lewis guy. I found him fascinating. Wanted to read more about him. Who is he? What makes him tick?

But, yeah, the retired folks I know spoil their dogs worse than me. There's an elderly woman in my office who routinely rescues dogs who need lots of help. She spends a fortune on them she can't afford, but she wouldn't have it any other way. They give her more than money in return.
