Puppy Stuff - Now And Then It Seems Like Dogs Have To Be Bought More Belongings Than Little Kids Do!



My husband & I own two dogs. They are considered a part of the family & we try and include them in many of the things we like to do. This means that we have accumulated a good deal of canine stuff through the years. It's unbelievable the amount of advertising there's that gets directed towards dog owners and pet owners on the whole. The marketers know that people love their housepets and are willing to spend a fantastic deal of money on them. It seems that each holiday season there is more and more dog stuff in the stores.

This past holiday season I could not believe my eyes when I was in the accessory section of a national department-store. At the start I thought there was a new section of doll clothing that was placed in this department. Upon closer examination I realized that the clothes were for dogs. Together with the clothing there were beds, toys, an anti bark collar, designer dishes & other dog stuff. This is a store that does not ordinarily have a pet section. I asked one of the sales clerks when this a segment of the anti bark collar and other dog stuff had been added. She declared that it was part of their holiday campaign nation wide. It seems that individuals were wanting more items that they could acquire, not only for their canine, but for the dogs of their friends. I jokingly asked if this didn't snub cat owners, but I was told that the cat merchandize was on the opposite side of the display I was focusing on.

The dog stuff included very elaborate outfits for the holidays, together with the anti bark collar. Velvet gowns, satin off the shoulder cocktail dresses, and the more conservative knit sweaters. There were also collars that were adorned with sequins and stones. I could tell that the sales clerk wasn't thrilled with this brand-new merchandize. I commented that our female canine would certainly prefer precious stones. When I mentioned this she took me over to the fine jewelry counter and showed me a display of precious and semi precious collars. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I understood that there were specialty stores and catalogs that handled this kind of canine stuff, but I not ever believed that it would be featured in a national department store. The clerk mentioned that they had a large display of Halloween costumes in the fall along with distinctive treats for the four legged trick or treater's.

I came home & told my husband about the display of dog stuff. He commented that we may be recipients of some of the things, because our family members & friends know that we spoil our dogs. I told him that if we did get something I hoped it would be the 14 carat gold collar with the pearl pendant.
