If my dog had a credit card...

I was at a Birthday party yesterday, and we were talking about how the credit card companies inundate you with offers when you are between the ages of 18 and 24. It's like they know you're going to go into debt over spending and charging things you don't really need and can't really afford. And then you'll be paying them interest for 100 years. My sister in law said that she thought it would be pretty easy to get a credit card for your dog. So last night as I was falling asleep, all I could think about was what would my pets charge if they could? I wonder if they would surprise me...
I think Skippy, my little rat terrier mix mutt rescue dog would go nuts charging dog treats, toys, big, comfortable furniture and warm, soft blankets. I think my old sheltie, Fletcher, would probably just charge food, he seems pretty easy to please, I can't think of anything else he would want. My pushy cat, Milo, would charge a lot of catnip, cat toys, cat treats, cat trees, littleLink fake mice, (maybe some real mice), and some high quality cat food. My shy, quiet cat, Minnie would probably not charge anything. She never asks for much, just a warm bed and some food occasionally. Who knows, maybe they would surprise me. I know Milo loves to bird watch, would he order some fancy bird feeders and have someone install them outside the kitchen window? Would the pets leave and find new owners if they could? I like to think we treat them pretty well, and I think they're happy here. But who really knows what they're thinking? It's funny how they each have their own personalities, and we give them human descriptions, as if they were humans. The dog whisperer (that Cesar guy on tv) would probably not approve.
Anyway, check out my newest custom t-shirt and gift shop, (freshgreentees.com), it's all about going green and reducing your carbon footprint. I've been so busy working on my original t-shirt shop, creativethought.com, that I haven't had much time for blogging!
