When I was growing up, I had a dog named Charlie and a cat named Arthur.  They were members of our family.  We catered to what I thought was their every whim including having a place at the table for them.  When they died, we buried them in the Bide-A-Wee Cemetery in Westhampton.  At the time, I thought that was extravagant gesture by my parents but little did I know.  When I visited them last summer, I found out that our foot stone was the most understated monument there.  People built obelisks as tributes to their dearly departed.

This made me think that of how important animals can be to families.  Some families treat their animals as one of their members while others treat them as accessories.  As I researched this, I found that there are sites that cater to the pampering of animals. 

One of my favorites is Fresh Pets (http://www.freshpets.com), a recently launched site.   They sell a wide variety of pet products ranging from jewelry for pets to dogie sunglasses to spa products.  I do not know which products are over the top and which ones are just pampering.  But I have to believe that the sunglasses has crossed the line.

As to Fresh Pets' other products, I found their inventory extensive and reasonably priced.

I will continue to look for over the top products for pets.
