Petspoil you are not alone. Our family thinks I'm crazy I have as many presents under the tree for the six Schnauzers in our family (two are ours) that I do for my three Grandsons. My tree is made up of dog ornaments, they each have a stocking with goodies and toys. One year each of our Schnauzers got a reindeer that sang Jingle Bells, this year it was a skiing reindeer that sang the same song. That facinated them.
We had a portrait done of them by Lori Bush that hangs on the wall. I buy clothes for them, they have sweaters for the mountains and I get outfits for them at Halloween. We have two baskets of toys for them and I alternate each week. Perry's birthday is on the 4th of July, so we have a bbq and I make clam chowder and clam cakes and everybody comes over, Perry has his birthday presents and each Schnauzer gets a gift. Indulgent?
Yes, thats how much we love Perry and Daisy.
However knowing that so many dogs do not have the life they do, we adopted a dog at Best Friends by donation, also donate to them during the year and also the Humane Society. Perry and Daisy spoiled? Yessssssss
