Is this true? |
general info you might not have known: Firefighters are starting to carry pet-sized oxygen masks. You can replace your neutered dog's missing testicles with Neuticles, testicular implants for pets. (Cost: $94 to $129 a pair, plus veterinarian's charges.) Meetup.com, the social networking organization, lists 1,051 groups around the country with pets as the focus. There are 167 groups for pugs alone. Dog birthday parties, too, are gaining in popularity. At PetBirthdayParty.com, you can register your dog's birthday (free), buy a congratulatory banner with Fluffy's name and find vendors offering pup party kits with accessories ranging from $1.99 to $17.99. (Of course, that's nothing compared with the $300,000-plus bashes for teen party animals on MTV's "My Super Sweet 16." Drop by a doggie bakery like the Kansas City, Mo., chain Three Dog Bakery to buy fresh-baked dog treats, including personalized heart-shaped cookies ($7.95 each) or a $300 custom wedding cake, says Mark Beckloff, a founder. Three Dog has eight bakeries in Japan. "Bow vows," or dog weddings, are de rigeur. See one, "Jump into This" by Seven Foot Wave, on YouTube. Find wedding attire online. Dog weddings start at $250 at The Yankee Dog Retreat, whose owner Jennifer Cermak is the author of "The Home Spa Book for Dogs: Nose to Tail Treatments to Soothe the Soul and Age-Proof Your Canine Companion." The book contains a section on "do-ga" (dog yoga). |
That sounds like a great idea. |
I read that article yesterday. Only I don't think it's just for emptynesters, because I don't even have kids yet and I spoil my furbaby! |
I agree... and I think it's presumptious of them to think it would only apply to that..... |
To be honest, I became a empty nester in Sept. when my youngest left for college. In preparation, I also put a deposit on a Yorkie ((after months of researching)). Within weeks of my daughter leaving for, the house was full of puppy stuff that looked very much like baby stuff. A pink stroller (( I like to walk on the boardwalk)), a pink pack and play ((pet gear, it is for a puppy)). A portable fence and lots of fun puppy toys. Yes, this definitely fills a void and its so much fun too!!! Kasey and one very spoiled Annie |
It is def true at our house!! :p |
Hmmmm. Now that the kids are gone I can afford to spend a little money on my babies. So, yeah, I guess the story has some truth to it! |
The woman that I work with asked me if I spend more on my skin babies or my fur babies.... I have to say it's about even. The two pups are like two more children for me. After years of laughing at my sister over the way she treated her dogs, I am now doing the same thing.... It's funny how life turns things around on you :) |
Since i don't have any skin babies yet, my ex & i spend money on Zoey a lottttt. She's extremely spoiled behind him. :animal36 |
yup part of the reason we got animals at all, besides the fact that we adore them, is because with hubbys schooling we won't be able to have kids for almost 5 years |
Thanks for posting that Cindy -- I no longer feel like I am spoiling mine. They have never had room service, Ralf Lauren, or even had a wedding. Poor babies, I had better buy them another toy! |
i am going to give my yorkies a pony ride birthday party.,,,, Daddy will be the pony,.,, Ha |
I spend so much on my pups, it's ridiculous. The fiancee has learned to cope :) |
