Talk about being a pampered pooch ... Here's a story about one lucky dog:
Pampered doesn't quite cover it. While some dogs might be prone to biting the odd slipper, this one actually choked on her own Cartier necklace. And now Conchita, known to her family as The Boss, refuses to wear diamonds any more because of the mishap.
However, her owner still spends £7,000 a month on Louis Vuitton bags, bikinis, pearls, dresses and make-up for her. She has her own special pink racing car bed, bathroom and TV, and lunches daily on fresh grilled chicken breast at the exclusive Shore Club in Miami.
With weekly manicures, her own minder and publicist, this one-year-old 500g (1lb) chihuahua is living the dog life equivalent of Paris Hilton's existence. And, like the hotel heiress, Conchita's owner, socialite Gail Posner, is the daughter of a billionaire businessman.
If this billionaire businessman loves his idiot daughter so much that he caters to her every pathetic, juvenile whim, then I support him. That's his right. Its his money to spend however he wants. (However I hope that dog gives her a nasty Zoonotic Disease).
Here's a nice write up on the illustrious Posner family. They made money the old fashioned way, they lied cheated and stole it from working class people.

Spend however you want billionaires. And let everyone else eat cake.
The decline of modern civilization is happening right before our eyes. And it saddens and sickens me how soulless our world has become. If this country doesn't find a soul soon, it's going to go the way of Ancient Rome.
Its no wonder I have withdrawn from the world - I don't care about money or impressing people with *stuff* - and these days I just don't fit in.
And Nora, maybe people have the right to spend money on themselves any way they want, but to be heaping money onto your child as a replacement for love so that she ends up a spoiled brat with no sense of priority, the value of money, or helping the disadvantaged is just plain irresponsible.
harsh but incredibly true.
this falls in the same category as the woman who left majority (if not all. i can't remember) of her fortune to her dog... and begs the question "why do people even market Louis Vuitton bags and clothing lines for dogs?"
it gives me the impression this woman thinks she is doing the right thing as by not letting the dog be beneath her. treating it as more of an equal, meanwhile forgetting that a dog doesn't care about monetary values... at all.
i really wish this money could go to something more important like to charities or medical research, instead of being wasted for someone's (completely twisted) frame of mind.
and also... "And it saddens and sickens me how soulless our world has become." in general terms, yeah, but there is still many parts of the world where their lives aren't driven by money.
if only western civilization would realise that you can be happy without extravagances like these.
