Canine Possessions - At Times It Seems Like Dogs Need To Be Bought More Things Than Little Kids Do!

My husband & I own two dogs. They are considered a part of the family and we try to include them in many of our activities. This means that we have accumulated a whole lot of dog stuff through the years. It is unbelievable the amount of advertising there's that gets directed towards canine owners & pet owners in general. The marketers know that people love their pets & are willing to spend a whole lot 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 couldn't believe my eyes when I was in the accessory a segment of a national department store. At first I thought there was a brand-new a segment of doll clothes that was placed in this department. Upon closer examination I realized that the garments were for dogs. Along with the garments there were beds, toys, an anti bark collar, designer dishes and other canine stuff. This is a shop that doesn't ordinarily have a housepet 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 said that it was part of their holiday operation nation wide. It seems that people were asking for more items that they could obtain, not only for their dog, but for the pet 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 canine stuff included very elaborate out-fits for the holidays, along with the anti bark collar. Velvet dresses, satin off the shoulder cocktail gowns, & the more traditional 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 new merchandize. I commented that our female dog would certainly prefer precious stones. When I said this she directed me over to the fine jewelry counter & showed me a display of precious & semi precious collars. I could not believe what I was seeing. I understood that there were specialty stores and catalogs that managed this sort of dog stuff, but I never thought that it would be featured in a national department-store. The clerk mentioned that they had a sizeable display of Halloween costumes in the fall together with distinctive treats for the four legged trick or treater's.

I came home & told my husband about the display of canine stuff. He commented that we might be recipients of some of the items, because our family members and friends know that we indulge our dogs. I told him that if we did get some-thing I hoped it would be the fourteen carat gold collar with the pearl pendant.
