"It'll be pretty crazy here starting about I mean I've already started taking appointments for Christmas for the dogs now but it will start getting crazier probably about the first of December," said Bishop.

"I'm not at all surprised, haha, because we do get a lot of people who just wanna ya know make their pets know that they're part of the family,Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings，" Tractor Supply Manager Ramona Miller said.
The total starts to stack up fast.

And the holiday spending has already begun.
"I just went to Kmart yesterday and picked up some Husker jerseys for each of them that they will be rocking at Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow," said McCrackaen.

"A few um say they want some special treats for their dogs for Thanksgiving so they don't, aren't jealous when the families are eating at the table," Miller said.
