It would appear to outsiders that Max and Abbie are spoiled: They each have about 6 beds; I order toys, nylabones, etc in bulk at dog.com when I get 10% off and free shipping so they have an overabundance of things to play with; I make them homemade dog treats, ice cream and hair bows (for Abbie); my parents are worse than I am (I think it's their way of saying that they want grandchildren)...I like to think that Max and Abbie are just cared for but I guess they really are spoiled
