    My cats have personal quilts and/or afghans. That's about it. Polly gets special places in the room where I quilt because she always wants to be there with me.

    Well, I pay a kings ransom for medications and supplements for old dogs heart, liver and arthritis, and since he gets tired quicker because of his heart, if we take a walk I carry him a while, but since he's a little guy its not that bad. He hates being left at home.

    I also prepare a homemade diet for them all.

    I drive an hour to take agility lessons twice a month with my puppy since hes really good and I need help as a handler. I also take him tracking at least once a week because he really loves it so its fun to do with him.

    I have a backyard full of agility equipment so we can play at home.

    I have washable everything (hard floors, leather furniture, machine washable bedding) so they can go where they want.

    Is that special enough? LOL...

    My black lab wouldn't eat her supper unless we put a tablespoon from our dinner on her food. She really loved fish sticks!

    We had to built ramps on the front and back porch for our sweet greyhound. I've made her several different ' wieght' coats, depending on the temperature... she has a pair of 'lounge ' jammies to wear around the house now that it's chilly. She gets all the egg yolks when I cook. I always save her a small bit of leftover dinner. We pay the neighbor boy to come over before and after school to let her out. She has a custom made bed in both ends of the house, that way no matter where I am in the house she can be comfortable while she 'helps'....

    Adonis does have a ramp that leads to the back yard. Only being 5 pounds, he's a short dog and can't make the jump up the one step. It's taller than he is. He also gets a treat after doing his business. If he goes #2, then he gets 2 treats!

    my min pin and rat terrier both get a small treat when they come in from outside. The treats are very tiny because they get many a day.Rat terrier is almost blind so he gets greenies and chew sticks when min pin goes for walk.

    Mine prefers to drink out of the faucet for the tub.

    Last time I went to the vet, he was supposed to go on a diet. After a few days, he peed on the rug in the bathroom, near his litter box. Grrr!

    When mine goes to Grandma's house she likes water from the refrigerator dispenser and she won't drink it from a bowl, only a paper cup! But that's all right she gives lots of love in return!!

    :P :P :P

    I don't spoil my cat, but my mom does hers. When we go home to visit, she gets mad if we kick the cats out of 'their' respective chairs. We know who's truly important to her now that we've all moved out!!! ;) lol
