one of my friends invited me over to her house today and i swear she has a cute lil minature poodle named mandy that she has spoiled rotten.. she rewards the dog with a treat just for breathing.. i could not believe it, she took her dog outside 6 times in 30 minutes, it would bark to go outside.
my friend is a widow, empty nester and she is doling out big bucks on her dog... an article i read the other day said that 6.8 billion was spent on dog and cat accessories last year... this is huge business...
our dog died, cat ran away, we have a taranchula, it belongs to my son, my nephew gave it to him 12 years ago.... he feeds it crickets, the animal hospital told him, the normal life span is around 10 years... so, it is doing well to still be alive in the tank.. it sheds its skin once a year and son saves it in a clear gladware bowl so he can show his buddies.... lol.
