Dog Possessions - At Times It Seems Like Dogs Need To Be Bought More Stuff Than Children Do!



My husband and I own 2 dogs. They are considered a part of the family & we try and include them in many of our activities. This means that we have accumulated a great deal of canine stuff through the years. It's extraordinary the amount of advertising there is that gets directed towards dog owners and pet owners in general. 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's more & 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 section. Upon a closer look I realized that the clothes were for dogs. Together with the clothing there were beds, toys, an anti bark collar, designer dishes and 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 dog stuff had been added. She said that it was part of their holiday campaign nation wide. It seems that people were asking for more items that they could purchase, 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 feline merchandize was on the opposite side of the display I was focusing on.

The dog stuff included very elaborate outfits for the holidays, along 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 wasn't thrilled with this brand-new merchandize. I commented that our female canine would certainly prefer precious stones. When I said this she directed 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 handled this kind of canine stuff, but I never believed that it would be featured in a national department store. The clerk mentioned that they had a huge display of Halloween costumes in the fall along with special treats for the 4 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 items, because our family members & friends know that we pamper 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.
