I'm a little late in replying - waylaid by a nasty cold that kept me away from most things, including the computer, for a while. Hope you had a great Christmas...:) Thanks Sarah!

We have a five month old puppy who I take with me to pet stores from time to time. No fail, there is always someone there buying a Christmas-themed stuffed animal to put under the tree for bowwow or a fuzzy, leopard print jackets so fluffy won't have to get cold. Insanity! I'm a farm girl too, who thinks most dogs are just fine outdoors as long as they have some protection from the elements. At the same time, though, I live in the city now and our pup is indoors with us 90 per cent of the time. Merry Christmas to you and your family and Heidi, of course ;) Lillian, I totally agree with your assessment of our humanization of pets.
