Doggie Massages: Not Just for Pampered Pets

The Washington Post has an interesting article that highlights how differing people have differing ideas about what is "too far" when pampering your pooch. Phebe Brown, the article says, "would never take her dog to a spa."

The dog is a dog, she says, and has a dog's life. But every six weeks, Tucker, her whippet, gets a $60/hour massage. It's for health reasons, she says, but it shows just how far we've come from the days of a dog spending most of the time out in the back yard. Dogs now get dog sweaters, cool toys, pet massage therapy, dog stollers, matching doggie dining sets, memory foam dog beds...you name it.

We're whipped. It's the cute little puppy-wuppy eyes, I think.

I myself am completely immune. It matters not that even as I type this, my dog is starring up at me with adorable lovableness. I am not affected by...by....

I gotta go....
