Katie Rolnick, writing on Salon.com, has all you need to know from the news about pet owners who are much too carried away with their cute little snookumses, like with pet weddings, dog yoga, social networking websites for pets, mink coats for dogs, handcrafted wooden cages for birds, and more. Many of these have been in News of the Weird, but Ms. Rolnick has all the links for you in one place. Well done. Salon.com

Hmmm. I really don't have a comment. I just wanted to type something. - Maybe, PETA (bread) should camp out in front of these psycho's houses instead of SAKS 5th. during the fur sale. everything listed in the top 10 seems like pet cruelty to me.

The hand crafted bird cages doesn't sound too bad. I'll bet PETA 'loves' the doggy-sized mink coats(2 for 1 animal cruelty).

Ah, gee, let me get that mink coat for my Husky in case the temp drops below -60 one of these nights! Dah.....

What? Buying minks for your pet is odd?

Depends, AGFH, if on you're going to feed it to your critter or dress them with it.

What if your pet is a mink. "Buy your mink a mink!" Kinda <u>Silence of the Lambs</u> for the animal world.
