Designer Puppy Collars

Have you ever seen merchandise and thought to yourself who internationally is going to buy that? You know the kind of items I mean. Items that are either tacky or very high-priced. Each time I am out buying goods I seem to run throughout something that fits this description. I likewise seem to run all over the individuals that buy the items.


A number of weeks ago I was out buying goods in a major mall when I noticed that they had opened a new gift shop. There are a broad potpourri of high-end gifts. There was one division that was reserved for designer dog collars and other assorted gifts and apparel for man's best friend. A small amount of from this department was another display of items for pet cats. The designer pink dog collars caught my eye because galore of them were locked in a display case because they contained gemstones and were worth assorted hundred dollars. Other of the designer dog collars were on opened display racks. They featured designers names engraved or embroidered on the collars. These of course could be customized with your pet's name. My husband was with me and we laughed that we will have to get one of the gemstone collars for our yellow Labrador retriever for his next hunting trip out to the duck slough.


A week later my husband and I were invited to our neighbor's home for an open house. We don’t spend a great deal of time with these neighbors; they have a tendency or disposition to run in a dissimilar social circle than we do. When we arrived at their home their maid took our coats and directed us to the great room area where the guests had assembled. Once in this room our hostess greeted us. She was keeping their little black house dog. Around his neck the dog had on one of the designer dog collars with various large gemstones. The designer dog collar was leather with gold and silver inlaid along with the stones. The hostess saw me watching the collar and was quick to inform me that she had purchased it at a darling new shop in the mall. She likewise pointed out that the collar was custom done. The gemstones were the birthstones of her dog's parents as well as her dog. She was very pleased that such a fine store opened within our community.


On our way home my husband asked me how much I thought the designer Dogtradog collar cost. I told him that I did not know, but that all the dogs in the neighborhood would be very jealous whether or not the price of the designer collar ever got out.
