Only in America!

Just a quick observation... I never realized how crazy it is that we have complete superstores devoted to PETS! It's grown since we left the country, this obsession, and I see that now there are entire aisles devoted to pet clothing, pet jewelry, and pet accessories. Today at Barnes & Nobles there was even a book about how to knit clothing for your pet. I'm all about caring for animals, but isn't this a bit super-sized?
