For many people, dogs are full members of the family. That is why they are often spoiled no less than their own children. One striking example of this is a British woman named Claire Kelly Johnson. She is without the slightest doubt ready to spend as much as 13 thousand pounds a year on her four-legged pets! Her dogs are much better off than many ordinary people.
Background
From a young age, Claire dreamed of having her own dog, which she could take care of. However, at first her parents were against, then circumstances did not allow her to have a four-legged friend. But having become a fairly adult and independent woman, she was able to afford to have a dog. According to the woman herself, initially the Pomeranian spitz breed conquered her heart. These cute creatures often pose on postcards and calendars; they are incredibly affectionate and friendly. That is why Claire bought her first dog, betting on this breed. She named Doggie Cupcake, and he became her firstborn.
Immediately after him, an increase was noticed in the family - another Pomeranian, already nicknamed Teddy (more precisely, Teddy Bear). And a few months later, the British bought a chihuahua named Popcorn.

Where does this money go?
Even the most notorious dog breeders were extremely surprised by such enormous expenses: where and how can you spend so much money, especially since the dogs are small? And Claire answered this question in detail to reporters. First of all, more than £ 3, 000 goes only to dog walking and to the nannies who sit with them. The thing is that the owner of the four-legged is a very busy girl, she works as the head of a local bank branch. Therefore, often it simply does not happen at home, and someone should watch the kids.
Claire also spends about £ 400 on her pet's birthday celebrations. Calculating how much money it takes to conduct events for dogs such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween, we get 1, 165 pounds. But a much more impressive amount, as it turned out, goes to food, treats, vitamins, as well as clothes and accessories for dogs - this is more than £ 5, 000.

The opinion of others
Claire herself often talks about the fact that almost all friends and colleagues consider her crazy. Everyone already has families in which children were born and are cared for, spending such amounts, precisely about them. But the girl explains that her dogs are her children, and it does not matter to her that other people do not understand this and do not want to take it for granted.
For our heroine, the most important thing is that her husband, a faithful companion, fully supports her in dog breeding. They, like two caring parents for Keks, Teddy and Popcorn, choose clothes together, bathe and carry them to dog beauty salons together. Claire herself says that often she does not have time to look after herself properly, she can go to the store with a greasy bun on her head, but her dogs will always be on top!
