This afternoon I took my two oldest children to the pet store. I had promised to do so yesterday when our tour of Walmart's fish dept. ended in disappointment. Apparently, they are eliminating selling fish. So here we are, looking at the guinnea pigs and large rats, snakes, birds, turtles, fish, and doggie Valentine cards...yep, you read correctly. They had them discounted since the illustrious day has come and passed. A good bargain for those of you who want to shop early for next year. Are there some dogs out there who would actually appreciate the sentiments of a card? Does doggie etiquette require you mail such a token or is it OK to leave it next to their rhinestone studded dog bowl? By the way, a few rows over were pet gift cards. Please tell me these are intended for pet owners and not the pets themselves. I've included some pictures of a few ridiculous if I may be so bold pet items. You judge for yourselves. And don't delay. Those Valentine cards are disappearing fast. Hurry, while supplies last.Here we have a cat bjorn(just kidding; it's not called that) and a fashionable necklace for your prized pooch. Give me a break!

Oh, that's funny...and, yet, so sad. Such an appropriate title to this post--I'm glad you shared!
Oh, trust me, these things have their place in retail America. In my job, I'm surrounded by twenty-somethings who have furry kids. As I was lamenting in January of our battles with ear infections and upper respiratory crud, I was met with sad stories of dogs with with gastroenteritis (her second bout), and one whose insanely jealous of a new puppy to the point of making herself sick (yes, the dog).
