We have become a nation of obsessed pet owners. Some people are now clearly barking mad and have taken this obsession to new heights as I have just seen a chihuahua trotting down the pavement on a lead whilst dressed in a pink leather jacket and diamanté collar.

The evidence is clearly there. Walk through any city centre in Wales and you’ll spot the pampered pooch. I’ve got a feeling that many pet owners think more of their pet than of their partners. But why is this?

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because a dog won’t argue or answer back, their love is unconditional and they never hold a grudge.

I think we should all be a bit more dog like, but I do draw the line at having to wear a diamanté collar!

I’m not saying no to the pink leather jacket quite yet though, I think pink can be quite slimming in the right light.
