Why is it that some people spend more on their pets than they do on themselves? I am tempted, believe me. For example, when I need clothes, I might check out Buffalo Exchange first, looking for some hidden and slightly used treasures. But for Cricket, I go straight to Pet Smart, get her the very expensive holistic health food, any toy she picks out, more all natural chew bones, and somehow I end up leaving $50 - $100 in the hole.
However, Pet Smart does not carry hemp dog collars, and so researching this tip was so fun (and costly, as of course Cricket has a few new collars, toys, and treats). But animals are like these amazing bundles of positive energy… they keep you happy, active, and smiling at their shenanigans. (And if you are let them sleep with you, they also keep you warm at night.)
Maybe it will change when I have kids, but I have no problem spoiling the Crick for now, and now I feel that a touch less crazy-pet-owner-indulgent because we are fully outfitted with organic and natural pet supplies.
Off to change Cricket into her Holiday Hemp dog collar…
