Absolutely nothing to do with WI (I hope)?

Due to some disconnected chain of thought the other day I found myself thinking about Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's heated and cooled dog house that was rumored to cost about $5,000 back then. And now this at a time when one half of the world lives on less than $2 a day. And I am not just suffering from "ankle biter" anxiety.



Wonderful pictures of the doghouse.
"It's one thing to live in a $325,000 McMansion yourself--but to build one just for your pets demonstrates a brand new level of excess. A brand new level excess that perhaps can only be reached by Paris Hilton."

See the dog (and Paris) and the rest of the story at:

I think if I had that kind of money for a doghouse, I'd be more inclined to make a donation to the Humane Society. ; )

Or several Humane Societies! Yankee they are off galavanting around - they probably built this doghouse (out of guilt) thinking they will keep the dog [busy] in it so they don't have to spend so much time with the poor thing. I wonder who is taking car of PH's dogs when she is away? Do they have their own nanny? And what about other stars who are away on location filming for months on end? Do they bring their pooch or cats along?
Yankee - maybe you and I can go into business as pet sitters to the Stars! Then we can charge an exhorbitant amount and donate half of it.

I wonder who gets to clean the pee and poo out of it when someone has an "accident". They show nice pictures, but reality is reality and dogs will be dogs! I wanna see that nice doggie couch torn to shreds and those railings chewed up! lol

Dogs should pull their weight around the house.

As for water shortages, Central Wi is hurting for water, but yet they let these humongus dairies build right where they are at the lowest. What gives,??

Hi Bam! Was there something in the news about which dairies these were? I may have missed that info - no, I am sure I did! I also didn't hear about the water shortage... I must be really out of touch lately or something! All it takes is missing one newscast or one daily paper tho.
Cute picture Rube! If that dog could talk he would probably say: "Can I spit this out and get down now?"

Razz, I don't think they have come up with a medical term yet for people that dress up their dogs. But when they do they will be able to start a huge group on eons. ;-)

You mean like "Dapper Dogs" or something?? I think that somewhere in the world, there is probably already a 12-step group for that habit! he he

Before I read the caption/story of this photo I thought it was some bizarre display of chocolate furniture?! The fact that this is a dog house is equally bizarre!
