I think it is absolutely insane that so many people treat their pets like they are babies. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love animals, and I do my very best to take care of them and love on them, but I don't actually believe that they are people.

These days you find pet supplies that are not only for caring for your pet or for their entertainment, but they actually sell clothing for your pets. Now it is bad enough that pet stores carry these ridiculous items, but I have actually been in clothing stores of late, that carry doggie clothes, hats, shoes, booties it blows my mind. I can't believe that people would go to such extremes. Don't they realize that their pets are pets? They have fur and don't need little doggie coats. I am sure that the pets don't like these clothes that bind them, I mean let's face it, and there are many people who wouldn't wear clothes except for the fact that they are required of humans. I mean think about the freedom of being naked all the time. What would make people think that animals would want to be restricted in this way?

I just think that we should enjoy our animals and getting them some fun and helpful pet supplies is a really great thing to do, but let's get real about the fact that they are animals. I mean which do you think your German Sheppard would want more, a real fur coat or a nice piece or beefy rawhide to chew on. It just seems so clear to me, I just think that either people don't get it, or they just didn't get enough opportunities to play house and dress up as a child.

I recently saw a woman on TV who treats her dog like a person. She lets him eat at the table with her, lets him watch TV, takes him to the store, and even dresses him appropriately for each occasion. The dog has never eaten dog food, just regular people food, 3 meals a day to enjoy, and snacks which include ice cream. She sleeps in bed with her dog every evening and he wears doggie pajamas. He also can use the regular toilet.

I don't know where you would go to get some of these pet supplies, maybe she sews his clothes for him I don't know. All I can tell you is pushing your little doggie through the mall in a stroller is not priceless, it is bizarre!
