While it seems that we humans are living through 9-5 jobs (9-8 for some of us) and putting ourselves through stress to survive, some animals are having the time of their life from our pampering. A recent article by The Associated Press discusses how a massage therapist named Mercedes Clemens is fighting to keep her passion after the state of MD denied her the right to perform massages on horses. And as Claudia mentioned in another blog post, dogs are now receiving acupuncture for their pain. Both of these are great, but neither matches up to the luxury of being pushed around in a stroller. This makes me wonder what really goes on in doggy hotels.

So funny- I actually saw a guy (in his 50’s maybe) pushing two little toy dogs in a double-wide stroller at the market last Sunday! I tried to get a picture but didn’t get my camera out in time because I was too busy laughing at the site lol

I’ve always wondered about those pet hotels, too…some of them cost just as much as a “human hotel!”
I don’t doubt that the pet pampering industry is growing - especially since many baby boomers/empty nesters are taking in pets after their kids move out of the house.
