A $30,000 wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel -- for dogs?!
Quick, call Rick Santorum!

"Last year I was hired for a 30,000-dollar wedding for two Labradors named Alex and Hannah at the Beverly Hills Hotel," owner Mark Bodnar told AFP.

Well, at least they were named Alex and Hannah. If it had been Alex and Harry, the sanctity of the entire institution of marriage would have been in jeopardy. :sarcasm: And I do hope that they're both the same kind of Lab; they do come in black, chocolate, and yellow, y'know. :sarcasm:

More proof that society is going to the dogs:

One Los Angeles progressive-reform Jewish congregation, Temple Beth Shir Shalom, celebrates "bark mitzvahs," a rite of passage of 13-year-old dogs, complete with a blessing, photographs, and a catered canine meal.

Oy gevalt! They wait 'til the dogs are 13? Haven't they ever heard of dog years? That should happen around 2, to a nice Jewish dog. By the way, how can you tell that a dog is Jewish? Clearly Chihuahuas, French poodles, Irish wolfhounds, etc. are Catholic, Samoyeds Russian Orthodox, Akitas Shintoists and so on, but what breed of dog is particularly Jewish, I ask you? And besides, most male dogs have had a bris (called "neutering"), so how can anyone tell? :sarcasm:

Some dog owners insist on the latest in fashion for their pets, and the boutique Fifi and Romeo offers hand-made couture for canine royalty.

Here, miniature raincoats and sweaters start in the 200-dollar range. In-house designers also produce matching garments for owner and pet for approximately 1,000 dollars.


So that's where Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears are shopping! :spank:

That is all. No, wait, I am a cat person. That is all.

1. There are very scary cat people out there.
I've been to cat shows and dog shows. Cat shows have WAY scarier people.

4. Why do you hate all fissiped mammals with nonretractile claws and . . .
. . . typically long muzzles?
