I posted a few pictures of my sister’s Yorkie, Roxy. I think it’s funny when she buys Roxy the most expensive toys and clothes. Roxy has an outfit for every occasion. I know more than one person that treats their dogs like this. People are crazed with treating their dogs like royalty. My dad treats his girlfriend’s “Weenie Dog” like one of the family. My boyfriend treats his Pug Polly like his daughter. My mom has figured a pattern to sew Roxy any type of outfit given just a small amount of fabric. My mom likes NASCAR and she was watching Roxy one time and decided to make her a Dale Earnhardt Jr. dress so she could watch the race in style. It was the cutest thing. Even though Roxy is small, Kelli had to cut the dress off of her because it was too small. We laughed for hours about that. When Roxy turn one year old, Kelli made her a cake and bought her an expensive pearl necklace (like in the picture). Of course, the cake is shaped like a bone and it’s big enough for a party of 6-8 adults. Needless to say, we laughed about that too. She also bought her a shirt that said “Birthday Girl.” There is also a picture of Roxy getting her stocking on her first Christmas and her Easter basket on her first Easter. I guess people that do not want kids replace that feeling with animals. I’m sure I will get a puppy when I get my own place because I do not plan on having kids either. Kelli is a great mother to Roxy and I don’t think she could ever replace. The whole family loves her. She really is Princess Roxy. Animals can fill most gaps that people may have in their life. They really are a joy to have.

I would have to agree, I know a lot of people who absolutely spoil there animals. One of my friends sticks out in my mind; she has three cats and takes better care of them than she does herself. There is definitely a lot of money to be made in the pet care industry.

My two sisters in Houston have Yorkies. Try dressing up a cat! It just doesn't happen that often--cats will scratch your eyes out!

Cut dog, but...

I had to come back--I read your post about the turtle at WalMart and I agree--they should make it the new greeter!
