- Last year, Americans showered their pets with $36 billion worth of goods, services, food, shelter, health care, and luxuries-- more than double what they spent a decade ago.
- In contrast, Americans bought their kids--their real kids-- $20 billion worth of toys.
- 31% of female pet owners spend more time with their pet than with their spouse. Hmmm, could that be why our divorce rate is so high?
- 37% of female owners would consider a pet funeral.
Yes, so there you have it, the sad facts, as reported in Life Magazine, dated 2.24.06. Any thoughts?
