Puppy Stuff - At Times It Appears Like Dogs Need To Be Bought More Bits And Pieces Than Kids Do!

My husband and I own two dogs. They are considered a part of the family & we try to include them in many of our activities. This means that we have accumulated a great deal of dog stuff through the years. It's extraordinary the amount of advertising there's that gets directed towards dog owners & pet owners in general. 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 and more dog stuff in the stores.

This past holiday season I could not believe my eyes when I was in the accessory a segment of a national department store. At the start I thought there was a new a segment of doll clothes that was placed in this section. Upon closer examination I realized that the garments were for dogs. Together with the garments there were beds, toys, an anti bark collar, designer dishes and other dog stuff. This is a store that doesn't ordinarily have a pet section. I asked one of the sales clerks when this section of the anti bark collar and other dog stuff had been added. She said that it was part of their holiday operation nation wide. It seems that people were wanting more items that they could purchase, not only for their dog, but for the pet dogs of their friends. I jokingly asked if this did not 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 out-fits for the holidays, along with the anti bark collar. Velvet gowns, satin off the shoulder cocktail dresses, & the more conservative knit sweaters. There were also collars that were studded with sequins and stones. I could tell that the sales clerk wasn't thrilled with this brand-new merchandize. I commented that our female dog would certainly prefer precious stones. When I said this she took me over to the fine jewelry counter and showed me a display of precious & semi precious collars. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I knew that there were specialty stores and catalogs that managed this kind of dog stuff, but I never believed that it would be featured in a national department store. The clerk mentioned that they had a considerable display of Halloween costumes in the fall along with special 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 might be recipients of some of the items, because our family members & friends know that we pamper our dogs. I told him that if we did get some-thing I hoped it would be the 14 carat gold collar with the pearl pendant.
