National Pet Month! An estimated 60 billion will be spent on them this year!

Before you get any more treats Mr. Ralphy, you need to do a few tricks for us. What have you got? LOL
 

I'll pass on the silly outfits, but when it's sub-zero here, our neighborhood dogs have all manner of doggy wear and booties, and a wide assortment of colors, to prevent hypothermia and frozen paws. This gear must cost a pretty penny too.
 

Here in Arizona when it hits 120 degees people who love their animals do not walk them or at the minimum put booties on their paws because asphalt can get up to 30 or 40 degrees hotter. You can literally fry eggs at 157 degrees.
 
Some of the smaller dogs need boots on for the winter as the ice and salt get in between their pads and cause problems. I have a little Shih Tzu who cannot walk outside in the bitter cold and snow. There have been times we had to go out in the yard and rescue him by carrying him in the house.
 
I understand QS, in winter we have a 'yellow' corner of snow near my building. Even the big dogs have jackets in the winter-time, a better coat wardrobe than me! LOL

Jim, poor dogs still need some exercise. I guess there's always swimming for those who have a pool. :D
 
And neither should their owners...
