Pet Obsession?

Absolutely NO animal cruelty here in Japan!!!

This is one section of a clothing store for dogs. There are MANY stores here in Japan that are just for dogs. I guess there's nothing wrong with spoiling your dog, but dang!! I've never seen such extremes. There's socks, shoes, rain coats, dresses, hats and all kinds of stuff. A full line of strollers and carriers. These are not for special occasions or Halloween. These are for everyday wear. You'll see it everywhere you go. It's pretty cool and makes you kind of think of how we Americans treat our pets. I'm no dog abuser, but I surely don't go out and buy my dog a new outfit each week. I don't buy my dog anything but food and a few chew toys. The most I've ever spent on any of my pets was for annual immunizations. Geez!!

This is a photo of dog food and treats. It looks like something you'd see at a bakery or something, but it's for dogs. Some of it looks so good, even I got hungry for a treat. Really!! I've always heard that the Japanese are very big on presentation, but I thought that just applied to the foods for humans. When I saw this display my jaw dropped.
