For pet-owners, holiday plans revolve around pets
I chose the editorial called, "For pet-owners, holiday plans revolve around pets." I chose this because I love animals and I was interested in the article. The point of view of animal lovers in this article is that Christmas is a time for not just family and friends but for pets! One lady in the article said she is going to take her dog to see the light displays!" Highlights for the 3-year-old cocker spaniel and his owner Carol Bryant, of Forty Fort, Pa., include a couple of car trips to look at light displays." This lady was basically telling the writer that her dog was going to have a huge Christmas with lots of presents and luxuries that we as hummans would do. "Dexter will host a party. His best friend, a golden cocker named Bailey, will host a party." She treats her dog almost as if it were an actual person. Carol Bryant, the speaker in the article claims that her dog loves being pampered and that he loves light shows! "He especially likes the animation and wags his tail!" Carol is so into her dog and his necessities that she has facebook pages and blogs and Christmas cards with her dog posing in different outfits. Carol told the writer, she "hung Dexter's personalized stocking with care. He'll spend Christmas Eve in pajamas and a bathrobe with ducks on it. He will look his brown-and-white best because of a holiday trip to the groomer, and he will dine on lean boiled turkey on Christmas Day." When people wonder how someone can spend so much on a dog Carol says, "It seems many pet owners have accepted that their pets are like children and they enjoy indulging their pet more than ever. It is easier for pet owners to spend on their pets than other relationships in their lives because pets have no expectations." I'm a huge petlover and would love to buy a dog toys and give it fancy food. But I'm not as extreme as Carol. I think her voice in the article speaks to those that do not have children and have pets that are basically their only companion or thier close friend. Carol speaks out about how Tiffany and co. is even starting to create dog lover jewelry and dog bone charms!
