Postmodern Pets

I'm not a pet owner -- haven't been one for quite a while -- and with my wife's allergies it's unlikely I will be realizing my dream of owning a dog anytime in the near future. (Despite what some country music tunes may suggest, I much prefer the wife to a dog.) But I never cease to be amazed by people's devotion to their pets. Case in point -- this new online retailer of high end pet products, Postmodern Pets. While I admit these guys have some really sleek-looking products -- apparently their emphasis is on postmodern design -- their most expensive item, the Philipp Plein Dog Bed, sells for $1650.00! To be fair, this site does seem to have some high-quality items that go for considerably less than that. So, to the extent you're looking for a unique item for the style-conscious pet owner, I guess this is a pretty good place to go.
