Bizarro Puppy shopping trip

**COUNTRYBUMPKIN** · 02-13-2005, 08:23 PM

My dear girlfriend got a new Yorkie puppy girl, named her Gypsie Rose, and flew new puppy and dear dh to Scottsdale on a special puppy shopping trip. They spent just under four grand on new puppy items

A few of the things they purchased...A photo package, done by a professional , a dog cage with crystals for meditating, a diamond collar, collars for each holiday, doggie clothing and sweaters, doggie china dishes, hair ornaments, a few chenelle blankets and a grooming set and a leopard print bed. She also brought back some goodies from the Three Dog Bakery.

People who do things like this make me

! I love my pets, and I do what I must to take care of them, but to spend $4,000 on a dog who more than likely would rather drink from the toilet, pee and poop on the carpet, and lick it's own butt, is a tad more than bizarro, it's insane!

I have seen people drop BIG bucks at dog shows on all sorts of nonsense for their pets! It never ceases to amaze me what silliness will come up next.

I am absolutely bonkers over Gypsy but let me tell you this: her dishes came from yard sales and she hasn't turned up her nose at the food/water in them yet! Her house collar and leash cost ten bucks COMBINED.

The only thing I spend a bit on is her toys because Am Staffs have massively heavy jaws and cheap toys have a lifespan of minutes at our house. I had to return one so-called tough toy that she destroyed in seven MINUTES!

LOL ladies, I love my friends dearly, but sometimes I just have to roll my eyes when I get the scoop on things like this. But then again, it is their money to do with as they wish. Just not how I would spend it

Your friend has no children, correct?

Morning Early Bird, He has four grown children from his first marriage, and they never had any of their own together. So her new puppy is like a child to her. They have been married for 25 years.
