Canine Possessions - Every So Often It Looks Like Canines Need To Be Bought More Stuff Than Little Kids Do!


Auto Insurance

My husband and I own 2 dogs. They're 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 amazing the amount of advertising there is that gets directed toward dog owners and pet owners on the whole. The marketers know that people love their housepets and are willing to spend a good deal of money on them. It seems that each holiday season there's more & more canine 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 section. Upon looking closer I realized that the clothing 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 section of the anti bark collar & other canine 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 did not snub cat owners, but I was told that the pet cat merchandize was on the opposite side of the display I was investigating.

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 studded with sequins & stones. I could tell that the sales clerk was not 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 knew that there were specialty stores & catalogs that dealt with 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 special treats for the 4 legged trick or treater's.

I came home and 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.
