There are luxury resorts for pets

Source - Do you feel guilty boarding your pets while you're traveling during the holidays? Maybe you should start feeling jealous...


I'm not copying much of this article because it is like a mile long but if you are taking a decent shit in the near future I would recommend this. I will try to highlight the good stuff:

Some places charging $5 for 15 minutes of belly rubs, or $6 for bedtime story time.

Amenities still on the market include hot-oil skin and coat treatments ($10-$20, by weight), pawlates ($25 per session) and shopping sprees during which pets are brought to the resort's well-stocked gift shop to select their own toys and treats, within a budget laid out by Mom and Dad. (It's up to resort staff to enforce these price limits; animals, even very well trained ones, can't be expected to do math.)

A certified animal masseuse named Holli Shan offers both sport and regular massages for $35 each.

The $20 cuddle sessions are similar to massages -- but more straightforwardly petty, instead of health-related.

And speaking of $105 per night dog quarters, there are four tiers of housing for canines. The "classic" model -- 20 square feet of space, with three walks per day included, for $60 -- is perhaps the tiniest bit grim. But there is nothing grim about the toniest boarding space. These "luxury" suites are $105 per night; suites with windows are a well-spent extra $5. Each 50-square-foot enclosure comes with a webcam, four walks per day, two playtimes and a television.

Guests can schedule water workouts for $35 a pop. 


You can take your pet in for a day of R and R or you can leave your pet here when you go on vacation instead of sticking your pup on a relative. I am not even going to get in to the level of crazy you must be if you are paying $105 bucks a night for you dog to stay in the luxury suite. You've got enough problems already without me piling it on. When I am going to say is I HAVE to work here. Don't want to. Don't even need to. Have to. 

The beginning of the article says Americans spent 55.53 billion dollars on their pets in 2013. People would literally pay me money to rub dogs tummies all day and read them bed time stories by night. My entire life just flipped on its head.
